YOU don't matter to the people trying to deceive us. YOU to them are just a useful idiot (no disrespect just a term used by Josef Stalin) they can count on. YOU are not trying to deceive us you actually believe politicians can control the climate. The whole man made global warming narrative is a lie. What's in for them? Votes to attain POWER & CONTROL. Your problem is you depend solely on what scientists the left present to you. You think there is consensus. Well there is no true consensus in science. Science is never settled. I presented you with tons of names of scientist that don't agree with your scientist yet you refuse to consider your scientist are wrong.

You want a healthy planet? Well so do I but there will be no healthy planet under socialism, Marxism, communism or totalitarian. You want to see destruction of this planet let one ice age hit us and all we have is wind or solar to keep us warm. We are due for another ice age amigo and there is not one thing Biden, Al Gore or you can do to stop it. History didn't start the day you were born or the 20th century it started 4.5 BILLION years ago. The earth has warmed and cooled. The seas have risen and fallen. The earth has been too wet and too dry. Species has died out and new ones have evolved. The earth has left us a pretty good record of its NATURAL warming and cooling. I have showed you the Vostok Ice Core data compiled by objective scientists not from the energy industry from Russia, France and the US yet that hasn't swayed you one bit.

Climate crisis? There is no climate crisis. The left (DEMOCRATS) are always using crisis to further their goals. Now they want to teach our children they are born flawed. They are born racists. Why do the DEMOCRATS want to demean and humiliate our children? They use the cuddly polar bear in the same way. The polar bear has become a symbol of global warming and melting the ice caps killing off the precious polar bear. Another lie because the truth is the polar bear numbers are growing. Showed you countless dire prediction of impending climate disasters by the left that has not come true ever, EVER!

Does any of this mean anything to you are is it just Charlie Brown's parents talking?

That didn't answer my question, made zero sense, and I'm sorry I asked.

One of the best ways to help our borders protect themself is to assume climate change is real because if it is real and we continue to be “blessed” while other countries suffer famine due to these changes we will have even more people arriving at our borders. Not that these hurricane seasons are any worse than in the past or we have 100 year storms in the same areas only a few years apart, or droughts threatening to deplete any remaining water serving multiple states. Thank God we haven’t seen any signs of drought in our country (cough). Totally normal.

Since we are talking about climate change I will answer it this way. Trump took us out of the Paris Accord and doesn't buy into this bullshit climate change thing so yes he does care about people like me.

I didn't answer YOUR question I didn't answer YOUR question? That's rich coming from you.

You don't like it when you feel your question isn't answered ugh, well

Depending on how it’s enforced this could be devastating to the oil & gas industry.

Leaders at global climate talks pledge to cut methane and save forests

GLASGOW (Reuters) - Leaders at the COP26 global climate conference in Glasgow have pledged to stop deforestation by the end of the decade and slash emissions of the potent greenhouse gas methane to help slow climate change.

The inability of major powers so far to agree more broadly on rapid reductions in the use of fossil fuels, the main cause of manmade global warming, has upset the poorer, smaller countries likely to suffer its worst effects.

Surangel Whipps Jr, president of Palau, a Pacific state of 500 low-lying islands under threat from rising sea levels, told the leaders of the G20 industrial powers in a speech: “We are drowning and our only hope is the life-ring you are holding.”

Nearly 90 countries have joined a U.S.- and EU-led effort to slash emissions of methane 30% by 2030 from 2020 levels, a senior Biden administration official said ahead of a formal announcement on Tuesday.

Methane is more short-lived in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide but 80 times more potent in warming the earth. Cutting emissions of the gas, which is estimated to have accounted for 30% of global warming since pre-industrial times, is one of the most effective ways of slowing climate change.

The Global Methane Pledge, first announced in September, now covers emissions from two-thirds of the global economy, according to the U.S. official.

Among the signatories to be announced on Tuesday is Brazil - one of the five biggest emitters of methane, which is generated in cows’ digestive systems, in landfill waste and in oil and gas production. Three others - China, Russia and India - have not signed up, while Australia has said it will not back the pledge.

Humanity has also boosted the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by hacking away at the forests that absorb roughly 30% of carbon dioxide emissions, according to the nonprofit World Resources Institute.

LOST FORESTS

In 2020, the world lost 258,000 sq km (100,000 sq miles) of forest - an area larger than the United Kingdom, according to WRI’s Global Forest Watch. The conservation charity WWF estimates that 27 football fields of forest are lost every minute.

More than 100 national leaders pledged to halt and reverse deforestation and land degradation by the end of the decade, underpinned by $19 billion in public and private funds to invest in protecting and restoring forests.

The agreement vastly expands a commitment made by 40 countries as part of the 2014 New York Declaration of Forests, and promises more resources.

“Let’s end this great global chainsaw massacre by making conservation do what we know it can do and deliver long-term sustainable jobs and growth as well,” British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said.

COP26 aims to keep alive a receding target of capping global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels to avert still greater damage from the intensified heatwaves, droughts, storms, floods and coastal damage that climate change is already causing.

Under the agreement, 12 countries pledged to provide $12 billion of public funding between 2021 and 2025 for developing countries to restore degraded land and tackle wildfires.

At least $7.2 billion will come from private sector investors representing $8.7 trillion in assets under management, who also pledged to stop investing in activities linked to deforestation such as cattle, palm oil and soybean farming and pulp production.

Brazil, which has cleared vast swathes of the Amazon rainforest, did make a new commitment on Monday to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, compared with a previous pledge of 43%.

And Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the first time set out a target date for India, heavily reliant on coal, to reduce its carbon emissions to a level it can absorb, albeit only in 2070 - 20 years beyond the U.N.’s global recommendation.

‘IMPOSSIBLE TO NEGOTIATE’

But there is scant sign so far of shared resolve by the world’s two biggest carbon polluters, China and the United States, which together account for more than 40% of global emissions but are at odds on numerous issues.

U.S. President Joe Biden has singled out China and leading oil producer Russia for failing to step up their climate goals in Glasgow, while Beijing has rejected Washington’s efforts to separate climate issues from their wider disagreements.

The Communist Party-run Global Times said in an editorial on Monday that Washington’s attitude had made it “impossible for China to see any potential to have fair negotiation amid the tensions”.China said on Tuesday that President Xi Jinping, who decided not to attend in person, had not been given an opportunity to deliver a video address, and had to send a written response instead - in which he offered no additional pledges.

The British government said it had wanted people to attend the conference in person, and had offered absentees the chance to provide recorded addresses or statements.

“If the world was a private company,” said Costa Rican President Carlos Alvarado Quesada, “imagine that for a minute, and the leaders of the world were to be different CEOs of the corporations - today we would all be fired.”

so caca, did you believe it as fact when 45 added alabama to the area being affected by a hurricane? aka sharpiegate.

Well if Trump was in Alabama he wouldn't think he was in Alaska unlike Sleepy Pedo Joe. Also Trump knows there are 50 states not 57 like Obama thought. Yes Trump made a mistake he is much like you and me, human. Lastly no I didn't believe it as fact because Trump said it.
