Climate change is real. Science is real. Manbearpig is not real. The IPCC is satan and marxism is still evil.

Many of us are already doing the right thing. Reducing. Reusing. Recycling. And the best part is, no one can stop me from doing the right thing. I'm a badass nature lover.

Nice piece, thor_hogan! We totally agree that a carbon price is an important piece of the puzzle. Have you heard of the new Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, which was introduced by Republicans and Democrats in both the House and the Senate?

You have to incentivize it or else no one is going to. That's why carbon credits by DNV-GL is going to work

It's really difficult to find people stupid enough to believe what some dillhole who's looking to get rich says over going outside and seeing the same weather they saw twenty years ago at the same time of year.

There is no climate crisis....

How many billions did we give to the accord and what did they do? Lines their pockets is all.

Opinion: WaPo again calls for the poor to freeze in the dark. As shown with the New York State Housing Authority the public sector cannot provide services. Making energy more expensive hits the least able to pay right on the head.

Just vote realDonaldTrump Donald Trump out of the White House.

Geoengineering isnt working?

You should change Americans to Republicans, right leaning independents, and Libertarians to be more accurate.

For starters, you'll need to convince 40% of Americans that humans & dinosaurs did not co-exist. Good luck with that.

Globalists pushing their agenda

Show 'em some data! Those Minoanians must have been maniacs. 😄 Good thing they fix things.

The media and Dems keep lying to the American people on this one. This is just another socialist wealth distribution scheme dressed up as environmentalism. It is not working.

MKAltra ?

hide the remote behind it.

Do a story from one of the many mansions in the northeast. homeheatingoil climatechange

Scare them.. Teach their kids that mom and dad are killing the earth. Payoff politicians that don't tow the line. Pay scientists for saying the earth is cooking on account of ppl..

Anything to get more money out of us. Get lost with this BS.

Step one: elect a president that actually believes in science.

Elect democrats

you mean to shift the focus from Trump and troops to smth?

Why fix it, if it ain't baroque!

Perspective: Climate change is a hoax.

Until climate change threatens the supply of watered down beer, Americans won't care.

Senators question acting EPA chief on urgency of climate change, impact of shutdownSen. Sanders clashes with acting EPA chief over urgency of climate change at confirmation hearing. 'You are the nominee to be head of the Environmental Protection Agency. You just, in your opening statement, did not mention the words 'climate change.'' Bernie go back to the nursing home “I’ve not used the hoax word myself. No, I’ve said ‘libtard fraud,’ ‘contrived problem,’ ‘imaginary thingedybob,’ and ‘mumbo-jumbo.’” Too bad the Senator is in the minority and doesn’t have the votes. All of this is just a show. Let’s get on to the confirmation vote and stop the charade.

Deep Seagrass Bed Could Stall Climate Change, If Climate Change Doesn't Kill It FirstScientists have identified a giant bed of deep sea grass in Australia's Great Barrier Reef that may be absorbing millions of tons of carbon. But these so-called blue carbon sinks need protecting too. Seems to me much could be gained from Carbon Capture. JonahNRO Every time we discover nature taking care of itself, quietly doing its own thing, environmentalists find an opportunity to 'protect' something by spending a bunch of taxpayer money on it. Like getting the money is maybe more important than the sea grass. Trump to the world… “The USA is going to mine coal in Australia’s bed of deep sea grass.”

Americans Show Growing Support for Climate-Change Policies, Poll SaysTwo-thirds of Americans believe action is needed to address global climate change, and a record-high 45% believe that the problem is serious enough to merit action immediately, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds. The title should read, “Americans are becoming more gullible instead of thinking for themselves”. Propaganda works. This is not news. Nothing like being decades and a few hundred billion metric tons of CO2 too late.

More wildfires, drought and climate change bring devastating changes to California wildlandsSouthern California's native landscapes are famously tough. But repeated wildfire and drought amplified by climate change pose a growing threat to wildlands that provide us with drinking water, untamed refuge from the Southland’s sprawl and stop mountainsides from sliding into our living rooms. Sounds like you should stop wasting money on trains and illegals and start saving for climate disasters Global temperature continued its descent in December since its peak during the 2016 mega El Nino. The Earth has cooled by about 0.62 C for the past 2 years. I predict that this downward temperature trend will continue at least until Mar of 2020. It’s almost as if California has a desert climate and is prone to drought. 🤔
