It looks like we will finally get things done in the federal government.

They can't

Common sense says don't built your shit hole directly upstream of your drinking water. I'm not sure Pruitt is going to bring a lot of common sense to the EPA. The fun part, for me Paul, is watching circus the media and left is creating around his picks. Bannon is a good example. The fire storm started and then had to back off because some the claims about him have been debunked (example, he is an anti-Semite). One more thing to think about. NONE of his picks are donors to him. Wrong https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/10/16/wwe-co-founder-linda-mcmahon-gave-6-million-to-pro-trump-super-pac/?utm_term=.139e3fc8de30

Not for long. Take a look at our next head of EPA! http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-epa-idUSKBN13W2HE

First Obamacare and now it looks like his EPA overreach is at an end. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-epa-idUSKBN13W2HE

No need to, the unprecedented cooling is a direct result of the unprecedented and undisputed warming.

No just the main one.

Yep that sounds familiar.

I am sorry that there is not a transcript of the one hour long "Lunch Bag Forum" I attended some years back. He was asked about natural variability, he said the warming we are witnessing is unprecedented, outside the range of natural variability and caused by man made CO2. Of course CO2 is not the only driver of climate, but according to Mann it is the only driver of recent warming.

No, you said that; CO2 to the climate system was analogous to a bullet in the head. Your words not mine. But by all means, continue to equivocate. (And you accuse ME of weaseling?)

Remember this? "If you shoot someone in the head and they die, you caused their death. Even if you then state: "You forgot to mention how the brain works. And you didn't mention the risk of stroke, or lung cancer, or tripping and falling. Or pulmonary edema, or pneumonia, or the role that potassium plays in the regulation of neural function. Or how the pituitary works. And you forgot that some people have lived for years without any functioning brain. I guess life isn't as simple as your claim that shooting someone in the head kills them! Are you still going to claim that shooting that guy in the head caused his death?" Answer - yes." (This post was edited by billvon on Nov 28, 2016, 1:11 PM) According to Michael Mann (and you apparently). CO2 is the bullet in the head. Again no weaseling required.

Of course if you eat any pork products, you would own a portion of that footprint.

"Climate change is real and human activities are responsible."

Sovereign: supreme, absolute, unlimited, boundless, ultimate, total, unconditional, full. I stand by my characterization, no weaseling required.

Michael Mann, the top climate scientists at a major university, an IPCC luminary and a co-author of the Democrats climate plank, openly claims that CO2 is the sovereign driver of climate change.

Did you just "I know you are but what am I" me?

It looks like we might have to add "delusional."

The 5 stages of grief and loss are: 1. Denial and isolation; 2. Anger; 3. Bargaining; 4. Depression; 5. Acceptance. Clearly y'all are stuck on three.

Tell yourself whatever you need to, so you may sleep at night

Yep Trump lost, just ask President Clinton.

Bill likes to pretend that high tech is compatible with low carbon, I merely pointed out that low/no tech has a much lower carbon footprint. BTW it was BillV who brought the Amish into the conversation.

Ok Mr. math genius, who has a lower carbon footprint, you or a backward hayseed Amish man? Run the numbers and get back to me. If you need help with the math, let me know and I will help you out.
