John Kerry, Paris summit, 2015, verbatim:


Sep 15, 2020, 10:47 AM

Speaking in Paris, Kerry said:

“The fact is that even if every American citizen biked to work, carpooled to school, used only solar panels to power their homes, if we each planted a dozen trees, if we somehow eliminated all of our domestic greenhouse gas emissions, guess what that still wouldn’t be enough to offset tthe carbon pollution coming from the rest of the world.
“If all the industrial nations went down to zero emissions remember what I just said, all the industrial emissions went down to zero emissions it wouldn’t be enough, not when more than 65 percent of the world’s carbon pollution comes from the developing world.”


He's exactly right.Paul Knappenberger and Patrick Michaels estimate that the climate change regulations the Obama administration are imposing on the energy sector--costs that will be passed down to households---will avert a meager 0.018 degrees Celsius of warming by the 2100!

In fact, the US could cut 100% of its CO2 emissions and it would not make a difference in global warming.

Covid has done more to save the environment than any

domestic or international legislation could ever dream of doing. Still, hurricanes are horrible. Wildfires. Godzilla dust clouds. Murder hornets. Rolling blackouts. And riots.

Love me some 2020. BRING IT ON!!!!!

At least you admit climate change is real and a problem.

I'm not sure if "let's do nothing" is a viable solution though.
