The hottest temperature in the US was recorded in 1913 in death Valley. I’m sure that was because of the internal combustion engine.🙄🙄😂
This whole climate agenda is about control. We could stop every bit of greenhouse gas, and it would accomplish nothing compared to what China and India is doing.
What scares me is so many people fall for this crap.

"To question whether human activity has anything to do with it". Well, there is a simple answer to that - 99% of Climate Scientists say that human activity IS causing Global Warming. That is enough for me. There are also observable reasons to believe this. One obvious thing that is hard to avoid is that the absolute temperature right here today is close to 100 deg F. July was officially determined to be the world's hottest since records were 1st kept. Living coral are down to 10% in recent years - they are 90% dead and next year will be warmer, and the next for at least 7 more years and the ocean CO2 content and the upper atmosphere WILL continue to INCREASE.
And WHY you may ask has this happened? World population has doubled in recent years. More people equals more Internal Combustion engines in cars and industrial use. Therefore, more fossil fuel use, therefore more CO2 released. Trees and plants absorb CO2, but the greater world population requires more and more trees to be cut down. Think about the Amazon rainforest becoming more like a desert. All these changes have INCREASED more rapidly than even Climate Scientists were predicting. Now, rapid changes have happened in the last 10 years.

Their combined land mass makes up a lot more mass than the United States. Some of the nutty things this country is doing in pursuit of saving the planet are meaningless. Without the entire world working together, all the money we are throwing at climate change is a waste.

Once again, that 95% number has been debunked over and over ad nauseum.

Now, to get a handle on what the majority of these experts are saying, go back to a climate thread about 3 weeks ago. A TOTV member has a son who is a climatologist at a major university. He made the mistake of suggesting that global warming might not be due to human activity. From that point on he was professionally ruined--he couldn't get any grants, he was denied tenure and was unable to have any of his work published. This story has been repeated all over the world as powers that be stifle any opinion contrary to "chicken little, the man-made climate crisis is imminent and going to kill our grandchildren (unless we pony up $131 TRILLION to "combat" it).

So, while not 95%, it is a majority. But like most of, when a gun is held to our head, we will say what the person holding the gun wants us to say.

It was pretty hot in the 1930's, remember the dust bowl, maybe even hotter than today, but the crime rate was much lower except for a few bank robbers. How about placing the blame for crime squarely where it belongs----bad/no parenting, no instilling a moral compass in children, and no respect for authority. Climate change????What a laugh.

If we (the USA) could theoretically stop all greenhouse emissions, it would help the world a lot. maybe enough to save the coral reefs and decrease the heat reflection from the HEAT DOME of CO2 in the upper atmosphere. After all, we are the # 1 GNP country in the world with the most cars and trucks, not India and China.
I only hope for a 30% decrease in emissions from the US when (in about 4 years) new car sales of electric vehicles become 30% as predicted. Also, E-bike usage would increase. And in a more perfect world, the US government would encourage the purchase of Electric golf cars and buy back and dispose of ICE golf cars. A more perfect and quieter world.

The coral reefs are at an all time high over the past 37 years -- thanks to increasing CO2 and global warming. They need CO2 to grow their protective reefs. Corals were much more diverse when the the climate was warmer with higher CO2 levels. Plus they love warm water -- which is why they live mostly along the equator.

The last 10 years are the important ones for man-made increasing global warming, which is the opinion of over 99% of climate scientists. The increasing world population and increasing use of CO2-releasing ICE vehicles have created a heat shield in the upper atmosphere that reflects heat back to the earth. It is especially bad in large cities around the world. Also, more forests like in Brazil are being plowed under for cattle to feed a fast-increasing global population.
This July was determined to be the world's hottest in recorded history. Living coral reefs are down to 10% of what they were 15 years ago (and decreasing). The world's glaciers are melting as proven by the RECORDED WORLDWIDE increase in ocean levels. Scientists know what is happening, but I guess the fossil fuel industry has spent enough money to somehow convince the AVERAGE US citizen that way back Al Gore was wrong.
The only problem, this summer and the next 8 to come are PROVING Al Gore to be correct.

Care to share the rest of the story? The part where the majority of the new coral is fast-growing coral that is particularly vulnerable to bleaching and other damage.

Yeah, we chopped all the old growth forest but look for yourself, with the pine and the grass the area is still green.

It is not nonsense that GM expects that 30% of their new vehicle sales to be ELECTRIC. The rest of the post can be disagreed with, but is not nonsense.
