Not in control of what?
The article highlights this
The warming we have caused by our emissions of carbon cannot be undone.
The additional future warming we will experience will be a result of our current and future emissions.
The inertia in the climate system is not natural, but human.
Emissions avoided today mean less warming tomorrow, and forever.
I think I answered it exactly the same way, with little difference in presentation.
The inertia in the climate system is not natural, but human.
I believe that is incorrectly stated. The “inertia” is natural, the “momentum” is human caused.
So we are in control of future warming by the actions we do today
Yes, but today is unrealistic under the circumstances.
What ?.. Unrealistic to take action now to control future warming ?.. Have you heard the term mother earth doesnt negotiate
Exactly, so it is up to us to change our ways. Good luck with that!
By not taking action now as you say its not realistic. Makes perfect sense not
No, it does not make sense at all. But do you have a practical solution that ends the use of oil today?
Then why are you posting nonsense???
I am not posting any more nonsense than the excellent article you linked to. It had no practical solutions other than some vague predictions.
If you think anything is going to change soon, you’re wrong. China is already 10 years ahead of rest of the world in breaking the addiction to oil.
Because of the political parties that are forced upon us? As long as the Dems and Repugs are in power there will be no meaningful change to address AGW
The Biden administration has started the process, with the Republicans in total opposition. If have any complaints, direct them to the Republican Capitalists.
Tinkering around the edges. Mike would be in full agreement with you in not taken action in the immediate future
It is up to Congress to make laws and set the budget. Today’s Congress has a Republican majority that refuses to acknowledge AGW.
Vote Democratic to ensure a dedicated effort to control current CO2 levels and begin weaning from addiction to oil.
The Dems climate actions policies are meek to say the best. There are not firm on targets, no accountability, no proposed penalties for polluters and wont declare CC as a climate emergency
Without Congress a president can only issue executive orders with moneys borrowed from other programs.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Since taking office, President Biden has proposed and implemented executive actions that have cost taxpayers over $2 trillion.
This spending was put forth by the Biden Administration without Congressional approval, underscoring the need for increased oversight and transparency throughout the Executive Branch.
The House Budget Committee reviewed the President’s major executive actions to determine their status, costs, and implications. They range from relatively specific to sweeping actions that are poised to fundamentally change the nation, all without a vote in Congress.
hat is not mentioned is that as a result, today we have the best economy in the world and perhaps enough added revenue to begin serious replacement efforts of the oil-based economy today.
The Dems climate action policy positions are not good for the reasons i mentioned
A hell of a lot better than the Republicans who are AGW deniers altogether and won’t do anything at all because God will provide for his favorite little clan of human oil billionaires.
Afraid not that much. Even you and mike arent that much different with you saying its unrealistic to take action now
What action do you suggest?
