I'd be curious to know the impacts of both our and China's pollution and coal plant production if we weren't buying up gobs of Chinese goods. If our emissions indeed haven't increased in decades (I didn't look into it), is it in part because we don't produce as much? If we started making everything (that we currently buy from China) within the US, would we not have more emissions here? If China were not the manufacturing powerhouse that it is today, and still living a poorer lifestyle, they would use a lot less energy. Maybe we should all go back to that? It sounds as though you want to place blame on them - trying to move to a higher standard of living - and don't want to take responsibility for our part in it.
I guarantee that China doesn't have the regulations on clear air that we have.
It How does one prove that? would be true to say that it is believed that humans are causing it but proving it as such would be difficult. That's because we do not have a parallel control to compare with. Also, global warming has occurred in the past, without human intervention. There was the Roman warm period and then the Medieval warm period. We are currently still cooler than those periods. Also consider that the earth has just come out of the Little Ice Age. That does not imply that we are not responsible or are major contributors, it only means it's difficult to prove that it is us or entirely us.
Why BOTHER proving it when you have activist teachers like mine in the OP? You don't NEED proof. And you get a lot of money funneled around various agencies and...maybe Democrat politicians (and maybe some Republicans, too).
It’s not brainwashing. It’s just reality and common sense. Our planet has had natural climate changes over thousands of years. It’s been very slowly though. But it’s happening much faster now because humans are increasing the greenhouse effect. How about you read up on that.
Tell me you have not read this thread without telling me you have not read this thread.
I've concluded you simply like to argue. Or worse, you are convinced in your head that you are all-knowing. If you don't believe me, ask your ex! You wore her out too.
Lord no Im not all knowing. Im just knowing more than, well... ;-)
and yes, I do have an EX and she STILL comes to me 17 years later for the hard and tech stuff. Once you make your bones, the bones are made. You wont understand that, but still.

I read people for a living. I've got your number. It wasn't a lucky guess. I'm going to rep you for admitting it. Progress! +1. But.. If you want proof, just ask her.
actually, it was, but, given the marriage rates in the US, duh.

dont give up your day job. I can pm you her number and she will tell you, as she tells everyone else, and I quote "if he tells you you have a duck on your head, reach up and remove it before it <s-word> on you" (one of her fav sayings)
You had no ability to expect that and you have less ability to understand why. But I have to say to you, not ONE WORD I have ever typed here, is UNTRUE. proceed cautiously. or not. I assure you, you are not clever. Im not being insulting, Im just once again iterating, what is. no mas, no menos. Work on accepting things, that are outside of your desires.

Here is what I know. You are unable to admit when you are wrong. The fact that you had to capitalize "not ONE WORD" is further telling. It stems from having a God complex. I mean, you literally called a few extremely gifted and talented people who have dominated in business "lucky, and an "IDIOT". And no matter what someone shows you, you continue to double down. Or you need to drop names in an attempt to show just how right you are when you might have watched them walk by in the hallway or had 20 minutes of interaction.
I believe you are incapable of absorbing when you are wrong. Including, telling me how rosey of a relationship you have with your ex! I mean, we know it was HER fault. And of course, she still idolizes your eminence! But no, I cannot read your personality. You're a tough nut to understand. lol You're killing me!

I've read PLENTY!
Still waiting for Miami to go under water like algore said would happen in "10 years"
