Quote:The GOP's plan is to claim that Climate Change Is A Chinese Hoax. So long as the Chinese have not reduced their CO2 to zero there is no reason for the USA to do anything since that would make the USA noncompetitive with China, destroy America, burden American workers, raise taxes, make Americans suffer and die, whatever lies the GOP thinks you will believe.

On the other hand, the Democrats have an actual plan that will work and they have already passed legislation and are doing the job. https://www.google.com/search?q=democrats+plan+for+climate+change

Quote:You never did read Trump's executive order about planting a trillion trees. It was actually a tax giveaway to the lumber industry with the justification that it would prevent climate change. The giveaway of tax money was real and the prevention of climate change was fake, Fake, FAKE:

The idea of planting one trillion trees had one enormous political advantage: It was practically sacrifice-free, no war on coal, no transition from fossil fuels, no energy conservation or investment in renewable sources of power that Mr. Trump loves to mock, like the windmills that cause cancer or the solar panels that are not “strong enough.”
The trillion trees initiative migrated from Mr. Benioff’s PowerPoint presentations to the president’s pronouncements, first at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last month, then his State of the Union address last week, is a study in ad hoc policymaking at the Trump White House. A personal appeal from a celebrity voice got the idea past traditional gatekeepers. A back channel through Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, gave it life, and a re-election campaign that has sought to soften some of Mr. Trump’s sharper edges ensured its publicity.
It is far from clear that the United States government will actually plant any trees, or that a trillion trees would do much in the near term to stop the worst effects of planetary warming. Tom Crowther, an environmental scientist and an author of the study that sparked the movement, cautioned that the full benefits would not be seen for about 100 years, when most of the new trees would reach full maturity. During that time, he said, the world needs to drive down fossil fuel emissions.
“If tree planting is just used as an excuse to avoid cutting greenhouse gas emissions or to further limit environmental protection, then it could be a real disaster,” said Dr. Crowther, who studies ecosystem ecology at ETH Zurich.
But such details might be beside the point for a White House initiative that is heavier on politics than science. One senior administration official described the tree initiative as one the president believes will “bring people together.”
“We’re committed to conserving the majesty of God’s creation and the natural beauty of our world,” Mr. Trump told investors and world leaders in Davos.

Quote:You are yelling "Get a horse!" to the people who own Model T Fords. You will remain bitter until you can afford your own used Model T. The previous owner traded in his Model T for a Chevy. Then you will remain bitter that you cannot afford a Chevy but have to drive a worn-out piece of junk because you are angry poor white trash. This is as America has always been, even back to the days when Americans who had to work in the fields were bitter at those who could afford to own slaves.

Ford set to lose $4.5 billion on electric vehicles this year, despite increased revenue
Ford recently dropped the price of its electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck
https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/ford-set-lose-billion-electric-
vehicles-year-despite-increased-revenue
Looks like you overpaid for that Ford F150 Lightning you wish you had.
Ford lost 1.5 times what it expected to lose on Coal Burning Cars this year, and twice what it lost last year.

Anybody been talking about the new fuel? Comes from air, captures Oxygen from CO2, requires ZERO modifications to existing gas combustion engines?
Currently $11 per gallon, but getting reduced.
Pro Racing will have a year or 2 of running on it, Porsche is leading research.
Greens hate it, will eliminate their power of scare tactics over everybody.

Move over Tesla. Toyota Motor is the most profitable automaker once again. The change, revealed in Toyota earnings, shows how competitive the electric-vehicle market is getting, and what Tesla is doing to expand sales rapidly.

Thinking about the chemistry of separating oxygen from CO2... well, that takes energy. Plants do it quite nicely using solar power, but I can't think of any process to do that that doesn't USE energy. ANd a process that USESenergy can't possibly be used to fuel anything.
Hey, I'll be happy to learn something very new, but if it happens it would completely overturn everything we think we know about physics and chemistry.
