[link to www.nydailynews.com (secure)] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32926115 President Biden is reportedly poised to declare an emergency to take action on climate change on Wednesday even after Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) effectively killed his plans for sprawling spending plans to address global warming. As punishing heat waves roast New York, most of the U.S. and Europe, Biden may act as soon as this week to “aggressively fight to attack climate change,” Jared Bernstein, a top White House economic adviser, told reporters. “There is a lot he can do and there is a lot he will do,” Bernstein said. The president will seek to halt crude oil exports, sharply limit oil and gas drilling, and direct government agencies to boost renewable-energy sources. They could also have unforeseen political consequences as American consumers groan under the weight of high gas prices and soaring inflation. [link to www.weforum.org (secure)] |

[link to www.weforum.org (secure)] "First, leading democracies should agree to end the under pricing of fossil fuels, which is the principal factor preventing a clean energy transition. The under pricing associated with producing and burning coal, oil and gas amounted to $5.9 trillion in economic costs in 2020. Nearly a quarter of these losses – $1.45 trillion – occurred in 48 major and smaller democracies. The leading democracies of the G20 should collectively commit to phasing out cost and tax breaks for the production and consumption of fossil fuels. They should also phase in more efficient pricing of fossil fuels through taxes or tradable permits to cover the costs of local air pollution, global warming, and other economic damages." |

Something HAS to be done to stop climate change Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80693178 or else next summer the whole world may be on fire Climate change is normal. The Earth frequently goes through radical shifts and drifts between cold and warm periods. We're going through a large shift right now. There are deeper changes happening within the planet and it's messing with the climates which are readjusting themselves. Why we've seen so many crazy events happening over the years. It's human arrogance to believe we can just stop it or dictate what nature is going to do. We have to ride it out and adapt with it, accepting that things are not going to be the same as they used to. Biden's little plan here has nothing to do with climate change. They're shutting down fuel reserves to paralyze economies and starve the people. |

Cowabunga it is then motherfuckers I hope your kind are ready for what this will cause because you're going to get it either way. People have tried to be nice, they've tried to show you the facts and data that says this is only about destroying the west while ignoring real ecological emergencies that could end human life on earth, and you dumb fucks just keep pushing. I honestly hope the demented ass resident in chief does this, push the accelerator all the way to the floor shitbags! And when the kindest most good natured slowest to anger people ON EARTH (white conservatives who just want competent governance that leaves them alone) FINALLY GET PISSED OFF... Well I guess we're all going to find out what happens! Don't be surprised when your power goes off, no water comes out of your sink, and you find yourselves blockaded into your urban bug hives and left to die. You want these policies? FINE you're going to fucking get them! Remember 81 million of you voted for this when your entire world comes crashing the fuck down! roguetechie |

Nature may cause mile thick ice sheets, or blazing hot temperatures, the level of technology available to humanity is absolutely powerless to stop either. Where do they think heat comes from? Pollution? Nope! 99.99999% of all of the heat comes from the sun, and there is nothing we can do to stop it, or make more. |

Wait to see all the damage all these old solar panels will do to the environment when they are tossed in the trash heap after 15 to 20 years. Not to mention the toxic processes that are required to source the material for batteries and the manufacturing of the batteries, Then what do you do with the old batteries when they age out or fail. |

Something HAS to be done to stop climate change Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80693178 or else next summer the whole world may be on fire Climate change is normal. The Earth frequently goes through radical shifts and drifts between cold and warm periods. We're going through a large shift right now. There are deeper changes happening within the planet and it's messing with the climates which are readjusting themselves. Why we've seen so many crazy events happening over the years.

We have to ride it out and adapt with it, accepting that things are not going to be the same as they used to. Biden's little plan here has nothing to do with climate change. They're shutting down fuel reserves to paralyze economies and starve the people. Exactly this! What humanity contributes to climate change is not even statistically significant. The Earth, solar system, galaxy, and then universe have much more to say in regards to climate change. In fact, every planet in our solar system has been heating up. There are two reasons, the sun itself, and secondly, the magnetic field of the solar system creates a friction with gaseous materials in space, this friction turns to heat/plasma. The climate change BS is the same as Covid, an imaginary enemy that people can see or feel, but can be manipulated into believing it’s true and then giving away money and rights in order for good ol government friends to make it better. What about rising sea levels? Or the mini ice age that was talked about in the 70/80’s? Now we are on to global warming. But is there ever any talk of the magnetic North Pole moving? Or even that it’s movement has accelerated in the last decade+? NO! That’s all VERY relevant information, and is directly related to areas of the world experiencing different weather patterns. Lastly, what is being done with tech that can modify the weather? Do we honestly believe this tech isn’t being used? Of course it is, the real question is, how often is weather modification tech being used and how much of a change does it cause? Thanks for sharing |
