We view the world as being focused on and about us but really we're just the method that God has created to punish sinful animals. Like how the point of hell isn't to provide a place for demons and devils to live it's to gently caress up human souls.

It's about as much more solar radiation staying on earth as the last two decades of human climate forcing. Hahahaha

even better is that if we do stop other dimming aerosols mostly from fossil fuels, we get even warmer faster

Global Climate Report - Annual 2021
https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/202113
The 2021 Northern Hemisphere surface temperature was also the sixth highest on record. However, the land portion of the Northern Hemisphere had a temperature that was 1.54�C (2.77�F) above average and the third highest in the 142-year record. Only the years of 2016 (second warmest) and 2020 (warmest) were warmer. Meanwhile, the Southern Hemisphere had its ninth warmest year on record.

but also the person driving on the shoulder is an insane maniac who nearly caused a collision several times and is the only person really at fault

Driving slowly in the left lane (and then blocking passing cars and brake checking) absolutely is dangerous driving. The morons filming were way too close as well.

if they were following too closely when the truck brake checked the car trying to get between them, what does say about the driver of that car?

https://twitter.com/citizensclimate/status/1533814285096345600
see? wonder what their plan is...

Rather than restricting domestic energy and mineral production, we need to unlock American resources to provide energy security here at home � and for our allies abroad.

oh.

The U.S. has 473.3 trillion cubic feet of proved reserves of natural gas and 38 billion barrels of proved oil reserves

oh dear

Only 3% of the nation�s 80,000 dams currently generate electricity. Many of these existing dams in the United States could be equipped with turbines and generators to produce up to 12,000 megawatts of clean, renewable, baseload electricity, while providing additional potential benefits such as water supply, recreation, and others.

oh my

REPUBLICAN SOLUTIONS INCLUDE: H.R. 6858, American Energy Independence from Russia Act (Rep. McMorris Rodgers/Rep. Westerman) H.R. 543, POWER Act (Rep. Herrell) H.R. 2604, Accessing America�s Critical Mineral Act (Rep. Stauber) H.R. 1588, Hydropower Clean Energy Future Act (Rep. McMorris Rodgers)

unfortunately there are more pressing issues than CO2 emissions, such as the high price of gasoline, that require more use of fossil fuels

don't worry, we'll get around to reducing it eventually

just without taking any measures that reduce the expansion of the global energy supply or make energy more expensive

as soon as the political capital builds up

maybe another decade or two
