Forget Terrorism, Republicans Are America’s Greatest Existential Threat

At least do yourself a service by having an open mind and verifying the facts for yourself;

The hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide thing is as simple as Google.

Seven billion human inhabitants, another number easily verified, basically all of whom burn SOMETHING, from sticks to diesel, well you've been around, that's pretty straightforward, no?

All that's gotta go somewhere and it does; right into the air. Again, ask around if this seems hard to believe. Or, check your co2 burner, lol

Now we get to the money part. THIS ain't rocket science, so I'd be shocked if you tell me you're going to have trouble believing me when I tell you that those making the most from the current arrangement are also the most likely to be shoveling money into a disinformation campaign to fool the public, give politicians cover for friendly deals and laws and otherwise spin and cast doubt wherever they can. You know, like Big Tobacco did until they got prosecuted for lying to the public.

Find a hole in my logic. Chemical, social, economic, it's fucking airtight.

And if you're still clinging to a shred of doubt, do tell, where's your evidence? You've asked us to prove our assertions, now it's your turn.

Or meet the guy running the hoist, Mr Petard.
C'mon now , you should know me better than that , I'm not hear to find fault with your argument or ideas , I can build 120 story buildings which is something few men alive are qualified to do , why would I try to poke holes in either side of an argument I know nothing about , I'm 65 yrs old which is old enough to know when you know nothing about an issue from either side its best to not act as if I understand any of it , I'm capable of things very few others are & that's what I know , the rest of this shit is all just fun .

Dood. Your acetylene torch also makes carbon dioxide.

I most certainly will; like @doublejj I'll be driving a Tesla, laughing all the way to the free recharging station!
Free charging station?? Gee willikers Batman why didn't you say so before?

I want some of what you're smoking.

The power companies will pay a carbon tax that we the consumers will pay but keep dreaming of your Communist Utopia maybe just maybe it will work this time.

Yappity yap. Did you check the Tesla website? Free charging for life with the purchase of a Tesla. No spin, just the facts.

I'll bet you want some of what I'm smoking! Grew it myself.

Nothing communist about any part of a carbon tax; it's called accountability. And it uses market forces to encourage positive outcomes, like renewable energy that doesn't poison the planet.

But you don't know the definitions of words, you just believe whatever Faux Spews spoonfeeds you.

Worse, you think that any means to your shortsighted goals are acceptable, making your entire ethical construct completely bankrupt.

You keep worrying about the price of gasoline until your air conditioner breaks from being run too much and the price of a Tesla looks attractive compared to the yearly cost of gasoline. If you're lucky, you can just wait until there is no gasoline left, anywhere.
I could also make my own ethanol.

Would for my electricity solar ain't cheap.
Doesn't it get tiring to keep carrying those goalposts from one retarded and discredited talking point to another? Are you actually making any money from the way things are?

My father invested in oil and I told him not to. Guess who's right?

If you want to make ethanol and then complain about electricity, investigate fuel cells. Various types of them convert methanol, ethanol, natural gas and many other hydrocarbons into electrical power, and they do it more efficiently than the big fat power plant you're paying for right now.

Cuz science, bitch!

Americans face greater threats of extreme weather, sea-level rise, water scarcity, heat waves, and wildfires, and biological systems disturbance.

Any sane, semi-intelligent human being would tend to listen to experts if they repeatedly were warned their existence was in jeopardy. It is a damn crying shame that Republicans are not only not remotely sane, or semi-intelligent, because they have willfully ignored a couple of decades’ worth of warnings from experts that their families and nation are facing an existential threat of epic proportions.

This week, in a very straight-forward and easy to understand letter to mainly Republicans in Congress, 31 leading scientific societies reiterated their warnings and the reality that human beings burning carbon are causing climate change, and that at this point only human beings can stop it. As if it was breathtaking news, the scientists wrote, “To reduce the risk of the most severe impacts of climate change, greenhouse gas emissions must be substantially reduced.”

Remember, Republicans either claim that anthropogenic climate change is a liberal lie, a plot to destroy the American oil industry, a dirty hoax perpetrated by those nasty scientists, or it doesn’t exist and everything is normal.

With your blessing, I'd like to write the title of this thread on a tee shirt.

Could of been a trick question.
Not a trick question, just basic understanding of earth climate is all that is needed to answer the question. @NLXSK1 claimed to have "researched global warming" and found that there wasn't enough data for those dumb NASA climate scientists to draw their conclusions regarding AGW. As expected, he had not a clue as to why the earth has polar ice caps. Laugh fucking Out Loud.

Of course, due to global warming we may see a blue Arctic Ocean in our lifetime.

Ya wanna talk about wrong!
