Jesus is LORD!
I will put in red text all of the meaningless buzzwords used within this article to show the forum just how meaningless this whole tripe was:
A whole bunch of meaningless tripe...This is another reason to keep Trump or anything like him out of the white-house again too?!! I like clean air and water and really concerned about the droughts, forest fires, floods and heat waves!!? It not only here but world-wide too?!!
For four years under President Donald Trump, the United States all but stopped trying to combat climate change at the federal level. Trump is no longer in office, but his presidency left the country far behind in a race that was already difficult to win.
A new report from researchers at Yale and Columbia universities shows that the United States’ environmental performance has tumbled in relation to other countries — a reflection of the fact that, while the United States squandered nearly half a decade, many of its peers moved deliberately.
But, underscoring the profound obstacles to cutting greenhouse gas emissions rapidly enough to prevent the worst effects of climate change, even that movement was insufficient. The report’s sobering bottom line is that, while almost every country has pledged by 2050 to reach net-zero emissions (the point where their activities no longer add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere), almost none are on track to do it.
The report, called the Environmental Performance Index, or EPI, found that, based on their trajectories from 2010 through 2019, only Denmark and Britain were on a sustainable path to eliminate emissions by midcentury.
Namibia and Botswana appeared to be on track with caveats: They had stronger records than their peers in sub-Saharan Africa, but their emissions were minimal to begin with, and the researchers did not characterize their progress as sustainable because it was not clear that current policies would suffice as their economies develop.
The 176 other nations in the report were poised to fall short of net-zero goals, some by large margins. China, India, the United States and Russia were on track to account for more than half of global emissions in 2050. But even countries like Germany that have enacted more comprehensive climate policies are not doing enough.
“We think this report’s going to be a wake-up call to a wide range of countries, a number of whom might have imagined themselves to be doing what they needed to do and not many of whom really are,” said Daniel C. Esty, the director of the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy, which produces the EPI every two years.
A United Nations report this year found that there is still time, but not much, for countries to change course and meet their targets. The case of the United States shows how gravely a few years of inaction can fling a country off course, steepening the slope of emissions reductions required to get back on.

LOL. Sure. It's only all scientists who disagree with you. Keep it up, sport
Actually, it's only Climate scientists that disagree, you know the same ones who told us that if we ban CFC's the hole in the ozone layer would heal. So, that so-called consensus is only among those with a vested economic interest in keeping Gorebal Warming going.

Actually, it has already been presented. It is being ignored by politicians, those invested in Gorebal Warming, and other interests because it doesn't fit their agenda.

Nope. YOU. Since you know more than those scientists.
RQAA. Stop asking the same mindless question over and over. It's been answered.
Has T.A. Goofy submit his research to be peer reviewed?
Denial of history. Paradox. Irrational statement.
You are now denying that Trump built a large section of a wall along the border with Mexico?
You are now denying that Trump advocated supporting free speech by removing protections of those that try to censor it?
You are now denying that Trump advocated supporting the right of the individual to bear arms, supports the NRA, and the police and military?
You are now denying that Trump built up the military and didn't start any wars?
You are now denying that Trump reduced taxes and regulations?
You are now denying that Trump successfully renegotiated the NAFTA treaty to better favor the U.S.?
You are now denying that the ONLY Democrat policy at that time was 'get Trump'?
The only thing the people lost is the United States. It fell when the Democrats conducted a silent coup and installed Biden.
There are plenty of other forums what are just kiddie pools where people like you can flap each other's ego and support your denial of what's going on around you. Go ahead.
Argument of the Stick fallacy.
Any luck in locating those Jewish space lasers? Keep trying, sporto. It's settled science. You keep forgetting I'm not the little lamb you're used to, sugar. You're going to have to try much harder to gaslight me.
There is actually no such thing as an 'alternative fact'. 'Fact' does not mean proof or Universal Truth. 'Fact' is simply an assumed predicate. The instant someone disagrees with a fact in a conversation, it is no longer a fact. It is an argument.
Liberals try to use the word 'fact' to mean 'Universal Truth' or 'proof'. They do not use English. They use a similar language I call 'Liberal'. It looks like English, but words have no meaning or shifting meanings.
Yes, their arguments are fantasies.
* They think they can ignore the inherent right of self defense and ban weapons.
* They think they can steal your stuff and get away with it, calling it 'welfare' or 'generosity'.
* They think they can change the laws of physics by declaration, with such meaningless phrases as 'greenhouse gas'.
* They think that Man can 'terraform' a planet, destroy the ozone layer, or rip out an entire lung with a single 9mm bullet.
* They think that one race is better than another simply because their skin is a different color.
* They think they can change history by declaration.
* They think they can blame their own problems on someone else, like the Republicans.
* They think they can hide behind a Constitution they despise.
Your statement is correct, but not just for 2022. The Democrat party has always been this way.
Democrats support socialism, in all three of it's forms: communism, fascism, and slavery. They always have.

Well done. A lot of work. I assume you are using your own list you built as a reference? You are quite right. NONE of these phrases has any meaning. They are all buzzwords.
Democrats ignore physics.

opinion, and who gives a fuck, one Trump is be better than 10 Bidens as the US is falling due to incredible inflation and higher interest rates. Democrats are always harder on the working class and poor families. Being a democrat is similar to having a cancer, the longer we have democrats in leadership positions the dimmer the outlook.
Contrails do not have the capability to warm the Earth. No gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth. You cannot create energy out of nothing.
A contrail is the condensation of water vapor into liquid by the action of compression of air. They can occur off the wingtips and propeller tips of an aircraft, or as a result of air moving through a jet engine.
On a larger scale, the same thing happens when moist air is thrown aloft by a mountain range in the way. Clouds form there. The rainy side of any mountain range tends to be the windward side if moisture is in the air.
A cold front plowing underneath such a warm moist layer creates a line of thunderstorms, also known as a 'squall' line.
A hurricane or a tornado is air being sucked skyward by a difference of temperature, rather like a bathtub drain upside down. Clouds form there as a result.
Science isn't NASA or any other government agency. It is not Yale nor any other university. It is not a research or a study. It has no 'method' or 'procedure'. It is not any credential, license, or any other blessing by a government. It is not a scientist or any group of scientists. It has no politics. It has no religion. It is not even people at all.
Science is a set of falsifiable theories.
* no gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth. Not CO2, not methane, not contrails, not water vapor, NOTHING.
You cannot create energy out of nothing. NASA and Yale are wrong. They are both preaching religion.
He does. So do I.
Science does not use consensus. There is no voting bloc in science. Science is not a 'research' or a 'study'.
Science is never 'settled'. You are STILL ignoring the 1st law of thermodynamics. No gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth.
