Left Being Duped Over Global Warming

[HI54UNI]

First saw this in the WSJ and now on CNN. Could be an interesting proposal - a carbon tax that also returns money to taxpayers in the form of dividends (rather than just going to the government coffers to be spent however).

I absolutely trust our leaders to give us the dividends and not spend the money on something else.

Well, considering that it's brought up now as part of the plan, at least it would have a chance to happen. I don't recall many plans, actually, ever having this particular feature in it as obviously governments are loathe to not hold onto money they can spend elsewhere. So it's a start at least.

90% of Republicans agree, believing the Trump administration is truthful and the media is untruthful.

Good Lord. We have a serious problem. You would have to be a complete idiot to believe that Trump and/or his Administration is truthful. This is bad. Republicans are now totally detached from reality.

You have waaaaaaaay more faith in our elected officials in DC than I ever will.

Human activity has an effect on atmospheric composition

That effect does alter the climate

We do not know the magnitude. There is an equal number of unique theories of how this effect will manifest itself as there are climate scientists.

Regardless of what the real story is, we will not stop polluting unless we halt world population growth

Any realistic discussion of how to halt whatever damage climate change will cause must include a discussion about how to get the world population down around 6 billion. Because "clean energy" doesn't matter if the whole world isn't onboard.

So if you're one of the people who believes in all the global warming horror projections your time would be better spent trying to figure out how to start the next world war rather than how to cover Wyoming in solar panels

Well, we did a good job reducing or outright eliminating problems with smog in most of the country.

But, **** the EPA, amirite?

Are you seriously going to try and compare 20 million tons of smog in the USA to the entire Earths atmosphere?



Please do some research on the sheer volumes of the:
Troposphere
Stratusphere
Mesosphere
Ionosphere
Thermosphere
Exosphere

Then you will see why I am laughing so hard at this!!!

But what about India and China and the rest of the world who laughs off these regulations? Those two countries alone dwarf what good anything we do in America. If the warming and cooling have anything to do with humans in the first place!

China leads the world in solar power now while the US is trying to figure out how to not get stuck with oil inventory worth less every day.

51% of them believe that Trump's ban on muslins is justified by the Bowling Green Massacre.

Who gives a fuck about China & solar panels. Solar is never going to replace oil. And the US is trying to figure out how to get more oil.

I liked how they just swept the whole data issue under the rug. Nothing to see here.

Well, technically speaking, there are plenty of things that oil and it's derivatives provide that aren't related to energy or electrical production so yes, in that vein, solar can never completely replace oil.

What about a solar powered hemp plastic factory...man!

That helps. Still need oil for a lot of other things. Dude.

No way, brah. Hemp bubble packaging, hemp styrofoam, hemp seed oil lubricants...

Finally,
somebody talkin' some common sense over here

I got it!

Autonomous cars with hemp composite bodies (Ford did that in the 40's), that run on solar powered batteries, have hemp air bags, instrument controls, and drive hemp seed oil asphalt.
