I invite anyone, anyone to look at a graph of world population.....you immediately see the problem (I believe it is 14 trillion people---whatever). The point is the graph rapidly bends upward. So, then more people means more CO2 (and other pollutants) which in the last 15 years have caused the WHOLE EARTH to HEAT up too much. The mechanism is the heat bounces back from the upper atmosphere from the layer formed by the CO2. The excess CO2 also goes into the oceans where it has killed coral - which is a FACT, NOT MY OPINION. It has worldwide glaciers to melt BIG TIME. Again, a fact, not my imagination. Right here in Florida we are setting ALL-TIME HEAT records. Scientists talk about animal species moving north in the northern hemisphere (and people also). And animals species going extinct at record numbers. I don't spend my whole day reading scientific journals, yet it is basically everywhere on the news and even hard to avoid.
.....I actually believe that those who ARE not AWARE of these items discussed above - must actively be avoiding mainstream newspapers and mainstream TV. Or maybe they are aware and tricking themselves? I can't say which would be worse?

In the spirit of transparency....it’s been asked countless times...we don’t need to know you, where you live etc, but do you own an EV or like lawn and garden machinery? I believe in the tried and true motto of practice what you preach. In that same spirit, I own all gas vehicles and lawn and garden machinery. Except for a rechargeable Mikita lawn/leaf blower. It’s hard to take someone seriously....that posts (continually) controversial statements on the environment with little in the way of receipts to support its contentions. A good starting point is to answer my....and others , questions about your purchases and practices
