Boaz, I have the perfect you can own the libs. Run a garden hose from your tailpipe to the inside of your vehicle and sit in while it idles for a few hours. That would surely show us there is no health risk from those gases so we can all know how stupid we are.

Wonderful! If the US Governments official position is that climate change isn't happening, how about some regulation on the insurance industry that is increasing property insurance rates substantially, on the basis that climate change is increasing the cost of natural disasters? I'm sure the consumers, especially those in excessive drought regions where wildfires are becoming more prevalent, and places supposedly prone to worse hurricanes, would really enjoy some relief!

Actually Boaz I retract that statement. Do not do that. You will die. I meant #3 as a joke but then I remembered that you might just be dumb enough to do it.

Has anyone told climate change this?

Seems like this could be used at the state level to block insurance rate hikes.

Eberly, is that a thing? Would an insurer have a hard time raising rates to cover increasing chances of adverse weather events, when the Federal Government position is climate change is not happening?

Ten people sit on an enclosed room.

"Let's stop smoking. Since it'll take time to wean off cigarettes, we'll gradually reduce smoking."

Two stopped cold turkey.

Four reduced smoking from ten cigarettes a day to five.

Three reduced smoking from ten to three.

The room was smokier than before. In fact, it was worse than ever.

That tenth person went from ten to twenty.

Not sure why nine people find their effort sabotaged.

Probably because you were using Republican Math.

The room got less smoky by AT LEAST 33 cigarettes, and 51 cigarettes if the cold turkey couple smoked the club average of 10 cigarettes per day.

How TF does something get MORE smoky with LESS cigarettes, dumfuq?!?

meh... Another Trumpanzee nothing burger... because it lost its meaning decades ago when corporations bypassed it by moving factories to China. Corporations never cut emissions to comply... they told you they did and blamed them for low pay and job loss... while relocating rather than innovating...

soooooo a big whoopie dooooo the the cl0wn brigade... for more total and complete B to the S... nonsense...

What you're gonna get are all those stinky slave labor sweatshops packed with workers doing repetitive tasks for low pay... you knowwwwwww.... all that chit you told us was a reason not to buy those (highly profitable) made in Asia products...

Capitalism needs a slave class to work...

Since we are revoking scientific findings we should prioritize revoking the speed limit on light.

It's a stupid rule and limiting and hampering our God granted authority and ability to subdue and conquer the galaxy.

Good. If Democrats want to harm domestic energy production and raise costs for all of us they can vote to do so in Congress.

Doesn't matter. It was already too late when Reagan ripped the solar panels off the White House roof.
