Let’s assume it costs $600 per ton (2,000 pounds) of CO2 removed from the atmosphere.

Let’s assume a gallon of gasoline produces 20 pounds of CO2.

What does it cost to remove the CO2 from one gallon? The math is simple enough to do without a calculator:
$6. A large number, but not ridiculously large.
As the cost for removing CO2 decreases from $600, gasoline should get cheaper. Refusing to pay for scrubbing CO2 out of the atmosphere is even cheaper.

For deep greenhouse gas emission reductions, a long-term perspective on costs is essential

Or will you burn coal and wood to prove you don't believe climate change is real? Maybe go the next step and become an arsonist burning forests? Don't let Smoky the Bear and lab-coat wearing libtards tell you not to start forest fires. You must be free to do whatever you please or else America is a prison!

I haven't seen a Cage flick since Wicker Man. But I think I'm going to watch the one where he beats the piss out of some Showbiz Pizza puppets.
I hear he doesn't have any dialog in the whole movie. I'll probably be a lot scarier to any labcoats that come my way if I don't say anything to them.
The hate in my eyes will do all the talking for me.
I don't know. Maybe. What Nic Cage movie was that the plot to?

The Bad Economics of Fossil Fuel Defenders
Global warming is fake news. Anyway, it isn’t man-made. And doing anything about it would destroy the economy.
Opponents of action against climate change have always relied on multiple lines of defense: If one argument for doing nothing becomes unsustainable, they just retreat to another.
That’s what we’re seeing now, as conservatives argue against the Biden administration’s push for climate-friendly public investment. As it happens, this push is taking place against a background of unprecedented heat waves, huge forest fires, severe drought in some places and catastrophic flooding in others — phenomena that scientists have long warned would become more common as the planet gets hotter.
Given these events, as The Times recently reported, Republicans have toned down their climate denial — in some cases pretending that they never denied the science in the first place. Thus Senator James Inhofe, author of 2012’s “The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future,” is now claiming that he never called climate change a hoax. https://www.amazon.com/Greatest-Hoax-Warming-Conspiracy-Threatens/dp/1
936488493/
If past experience is any guide, this new willingness to accept the reality of global warming won’t last; the next time America has a cold snap, the usual suspects will go right back to denying climate change and attacking scientists. For now, however, they’re focused on the immense economic damage that, they claim, will result if we try to limit emissions of greenhouse gases.
So let me offer four reasons not to believe a word they (Senator James Inhofe as played by Nicholas Cage) say on this subject.

Oh. OK. So you didn't see it either and you're talking just to talk again.
Got it.

What Are You Willing to Sacrifice to Stop Climate Change?
https://www.bloombergquint.com/gadfly/climate-change-action-is-hard-be
cause-no-one-wants-to-sacrifice
With a title like that, I thought there might actually be some meaningful or important suggestions of things everyone could sacrifice to help stop climate change.
Yanno... like not buying a ton of shit you don't need, or demanding there are changes made to the bullshit way that corporations package everything and the fact that the stores just throw tons of plastic in with the trash instead of recycling it like they do with the cardboard (that takes a lot of time and money to make a plastic bale compared to the cardboard ones, don'tcha know?)
Don't get me started on what happens to broken packages of bottled water.
But no. It's just some angry dude making too much money ranting that nobody wants to vote for a carbon tax.
Same old shit.

Quote:Why are you complaining about plastic? The plastic is NOT burned into CO2. It is buried. Plastic makes no difference to climate change. Now for something real: We used to believe that achieving big reductions in greenhouse gas emissions would be difficult and expensive, although not nearly as costly as anti-environmentalists claimed. Over the past dozen years or so, however, we’ve experienced a technological miracle. As nicely documented in an article by Max Roser, the costs of solar and wind power, once dismissed as foolish hippie fantasies, have plunged to the point that quite modest incentives could lead to a rapid reduction in use of fossil fuels.

Why did renewables become so cheap so fast?

The big sacrifice will be coal miners losing their jobs. Since there are only 50,000 of them, it would be better for America if they would all retire or find other work, maybe fighting forest fires.

You don't give a shit about plastic in the ocean because you don't have to see it.
Your Democrat tree hugging dipshit loser friends don't give a shit about the role they play in the destruction of the planet because all the shit they buy that they don't need is manufactured in China where you need a knife to cut through the pollution.
Shut the fuck up. Hypocrite. I'm tired of even hearing your bullshit opinions about anything anymore.

Quote:Typically Trumptards lose their cool in an argument, which is also why they make so many mistakes and can't easily correct their ways. They just keep shooting, missing the kill, and wasting ammo rather than either manually compensating or re-calibrating their gun-sight.
