Methane traps something like 100 times the heat of CO2. It’s suicide for the human race not to curb its production as much as possible. Though livestock produce a large amount as well (eat less meat), and if the chathrates melt then no matter what we do, we’re fucked forever.

23 Freedumb members signed a pact to oppose it. Swap 23 from yea to nay and you have 214-216.

It was the lead from leaded gasoline.

“Muslims are bad — but not my Muslim brother in law.” “Mexicans are bad, but not the janitor in my building.” “Blacks are lazy murderous drug dealers — but not the one who is my kids’ principal.”

Best thing I’ve read all weekend. Please keep the misery coming.

Really? The most profitable, biggest, deepest pocketed companies maybe get too many tax breaks? Think so? It’s laughable that you think investment in renewables is higher. Why not a pipeline length of charging stations? That might have an impact.

Solar panels won’t be cheaper without a lot more development, which we won’t prioritize until gas is more expensive.

But not Trump’s. Oh no.

Counterpoint: adding infrastructure means marrying it. It’s like healthcare: once it’s in place, it’s impossible to dislodge it. The way to reduce your use of X is to stop adding more of it to the equation. If oil remains dirt cheap, we’ll never go elsewhere, until the oil runs out, then we’ll be fucked because we…

No way the Senate would confirm their all time most despised member.

Irony perception fail. People believe anything now because Jesus is Donald Trump really the fucking president of the United States? Fuck.
