    See above.

    The EPA is unconstitutional and hasn't done a damn thing to clean up the air, environment, etc... They are simply a government agency. It is private businesses, such as Into The Night's business, that actually do these things that you describe. The EPA doesn't do a damn thing to clean up anything. They are government bloat that only gets in the way and slows down the works.

The danger is when Republicans try to weaken these laws, but to some extent that can be mitigated by having the Executive agencies under the control of sentient human beings, aka Democrats.
    Yes, Dems want to implement a Socialist Oligarchy. They want to replace the USA with the SOA (Socialist Oligarchy of America).

    People are not denying climate. They simply don't believe in your religion.

I really can't think of any time in human history were environmental sustainability took precedence over trillions of bucks in profit. But I am ever hopeful this might be the one case it actually transpires, because climate change has the reasonable potential to be an existential threat to the earth's ecology, agriculture, and the global economy.
    There is no such thing as a "corporate oligarch". Define "climate change". Buzzword Fallacy. Pascal's Wager Fallacy.

    How did your thread end up here? Did he/she just c/p everyone's posts?
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    It’s actually an unintentional compliment to Owl.

    There are certain liberal posters, like Owl, whose writing, posts, whose themes, and insights are so extremely interesting, so riveting and gripping to a coterie of wingnuts, that they cannot help but follow her around, read what she posts, think about it, and follow it up with copy cat threads.

    Personally, if I find a poster unbearably boring and insipid, I generally completely ignore them. Owl’s fan club on the rightwing is a testament to how extremely interesting her threads, writing, and posts are.

    Personally, I chalk it up to a consuming, and perhaps unhealthy, rightwing obsession with Owl. But I leave it to the mental health professionals to make the final call.

    The NAS is not science. It is a political group.

    Describe 'greenhouse effect' without violating either the 1st or 2nd laws of thermodynamics or the Stefan-Boltzmann law. Let's discuss the science.

    Then describe the 'greenhouse effect' without violating the 1st or 2nd laws of thermodynamics or the Stefan-Boltzmann law. You claim you know all about this. Let's see you do it.
