    Same back atcha.

    The fact that you don't require people to 'practice what they preach', or see the hypocrisy in those that don't, well, pretty much invalidates every argument you've ever posted.

    Yup. So, really, you don't care. Not really. What your response tells us is that you either believe that the elite deserve to not follow their own dogma or that you agree that the AGW teachings are in fact a hoax, and you recognize that the actions of these folks doesn't have any real impact either...

    You're naive if you think we can actually go back to where we were by simply eliminating fossil fuels. You guys yourselves have admitted that no matter what we do, temps will still rise.

    LOL. It doesn't matter how you look at yourself. What matters is how others see you.

    And you think we are going to win the climate battle? Doesn't sound like it.

    We are going to find out in November. By the way, even most democrats don't want Biden to run again. Was that true of Trump? It's not even true now. Trump is far and away the leader for the 2024 nomination.

    blah blah blah. No matter how much you want to deny it, EVERYONE is getting richer, both the rich and the poor. You 're just jealous because the rich get richer at a faster rate that the poor do. So what?

    Exactly why the Paris accords needed to be scrapped. We're expected to pay for the whole thing, even as we have a national debt of over 30 trillion dollars. It's not up to us to pay the tab of others.

    Well, I'm not a fan of Greta even though I think she should have a voice but, she has accomplished getting the haters to hate not that they needed her for this anyway but she focused a few of them worldwide.

    You need to read what I wrote, not what you think I meant.

    If you look at the poll, yes, the public is aware of climate change. What they don't like is the politics behind Climate Change which is not what Greta has emphasized in her campaign.

    Which works against her cause. She has been very antagonistic, even to the greenies who want to address Climate Change. She has been very unkind to the very ones who were actually trying to do something. It's never enough for her. She's nothing but a puppet being used by woke lefties. She continually speaks in generalities and never specifics as in she's always blasting even her own kind for not taking Climate Change seriously and yet she has never once put forth a set of detailed plans of what she really wants everyone to do. She just wants us to take it seriously but never defines what she means by "seriously". What are the details of what she wants?

    Less people care about Climate Change now than they did before Greta tried to spread awareness. There are many different aspects of this but just one glaring example of fighting Climate Change is inflation. Fighting Climate Change is a guarantee of bringing on higher inflation. It always sounds so good to expand green energy and attack fossil fuels, until you go to buy a car or gas up and you are paying through the nose in the name of Climate Change. Climate Change policies hurt the poor more than they hurt the middle income and the rich, furthering income inequality. But, the left don't care because they have an agenda to fight Climate Change, the poorer be damned.

    Doubt it, you started an entire thread here on it. As I said, haters need something/someone to focus their hate, if not her, they would find someone else to justify this need.

    Forget woke. If we don't figure out what we have to do on a global scale to stop the degradation of our environment, life will become much less pleasant for just about everyone. We have too many people on the earth and have to figure out how to downsize the earth's population when human history is one where people have universally tried to expand their numbers.

    E6F83198-4E0B-4251-BC30-AAA57D6E52EE.jpeg

    How can we get back to the numbers we had in 1900?

    I think it's inevitable with biotechnology and nanotechnology we will have someone using technology unilaterally to reduce the earth's human population.
    You're a conclusion seeking premises. They haven't given up, you have.

    Since you no doubt pride yourself on being a realist, what do you think people will do in parts of the world where a warming earth makes their country uninhabitable? Do you think they will tolerate people in moderate climate regions refusing to accept climate refugees?

    The left have focused their hatred of the right for quite a long time now so I guess you should know.

    So, put forth your plan for downsizing the Earth's population. I can't wait to hear that.

    Trump and this radicalized followers are the worst threat this country has faced since the early 1930s when unions were dominated by socialists.
