All the virtue signalers that pretend to care about it while simultaneously benefiting from everything our modern society has grown accustomed to that contributes to global warming I find quite amusing.

I can't prove it, but I'd bet that your carbon footprint is at least 10 times that of mine. That grows exponentially if you have children.

"I don't have an opinion about it." I've heard that many times in Texas from Republicans, at least the smarter ones. The dumber ones always have an opinion. Can you guess what it is?

Sometimes a Republican needs a pulsing red circle of data to understand how abnormally hot Earth is getting.

I honestly do not have any opinion about it.

I do what I can personally to not contribute any more than possible, which is much more than most Americans of any political affiliation do.

There ends the extent of my power to end global warming from where I'm sitting.

How many miles have you and your employees put on your vehicles this year? Your children?

According to a recent check with my insurance agent, in the last 4 years I've put less than 6,000 miles on my car.

Just sayin...

So you have no opinion, but despite that you are minimizing your waste because waste costs money. If carbon dioxide was a solid waste like household garbage, and Trump was the mayor of America who outlawed city garbage trucks and closed the city dump, then the piles of garbage would get Mayor Trump recalled from office, eventually, when the stink got bad enough in late summer. But for now Trump can play games:

Trump wrote, "The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive." Trump wrote, "This very expensive GLOBAL WARMING bullshit has got to stop. Our planet is freezing, record low temps, and our GW scientists are stuck in ice."

When asked on TV about Global Warming, Trump said, "I did not. I did not. I do not say that."

There's no argument that adhering to global warming commitments while at the same time purchasing goods from a country that doesn't is not only bad for our economy, but it completely undermines the effort.

Like I said... People will be people, and people want all the stuff they've grown accustomed to.


I don't deny that we aren't doing the environment any favors. I'm not going to pretend that I know enough about it to have a real opinion on about it though.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head with me though. My small carbon footprint is more about not wasting money than anything else. In the end on a big picture scale, money is the only way that it's going to get done.


I don't know what the answer to that is, and even if I did I'm powerless to do anything about it. I could tell you right now that it would probably wreck our economy if we closed trade with China until they had at least the same standards as we did.

I pay twice for almost everything: once when I buy and again for garbage pickup. Fuel is an exception. I only pay once, but burning fuel makes megatons of waste. Invisible waste, nearly transparent CO2. There was a scheme to pay for taking care of that waste: a carbon tax on fuel. I am under the impression that there are NO Republicans, certainly NOT Trump, willing to pay a carbon tax to handle their waste. They prefer to dump it into the air and let the rest of the world take care of it for them for free.

The Chinese do what Trump won’t. Why would Trump since global warming is a myth?

Again... I have no opinion on it and no power to do anything about it.

How are you enjoying that air conditioning in your mansion today?

I haven't used A/C since I was a kid and my parents had it. I keep my house thermostat at 58 degrees in the winter and wear more clothes. I drive about 1,500 miles a year.

The only thing more I can do about the environment is die, and eventually that too will happen.
