It’s a candidate for Bring a Trailer. It’s not in running condition - at least it wasn’t last year. Car likely needs a ground up mechanical restoration.

Climate Change and Extinction, both natural phenomena that have occurred since the creation of our planet. Both will continue to occur after we’re gone as well.

Gee, really? You think these small island governments would turn down a handout when they see one? They just want our money, and will laugh all the way to the bank if they get it.

Talk about cherry picking...your graph starts during a cold spell!

Uhh, no. They’re actually not becoming more frequent. We’ve just become better at tracking and monitoring the Pacific phases.

Shush, the point of articles like these are to guilt Americans into feeling bad.

You don’t get it. No matter what is agreed upon in Paris its not going to change anything by a degree perceptible to a human being, or any other organism. Some of Google’s best minds spent almost a year studying this and came to the same conclusion.

Agreed.

The logic here is akin to applauding Iceland for generating a majority of their power from “renewable” geothermal energy plants. Good for them, but not everyone lives above a magma column.

The only way forward is nuclear power generation. If someone talks to me about climate change and isn’t open to increased nuclear power generation I don’t take them seriously, because they live in a fantasy land.

Nice comic, that has incredibly flawed logic.

I’m fairly confident it was never banned on an international level.

I mean, they’re still planning to build over 100 coal plants a year for the next 10 years. So 8 nuclear plants a year is small potatoes in comparison. :-(

China’s pledge to cut CO2 emissions takes into account their own government analysis that they’ll start running out of coal by 2030. The fact that the UN and other governments consider this a “pledge” is comedy gold.

They could install scrubbers on their coal power plants, which would improve the air quality for citizens and do absolutely nothing for CO2 emissions. But they won’t because scrubbers cost $Texas.

What good is a pledge when China has 1100 additional coal plants planned for construction between now and 2030?

Pretty sure there are more power options available today for their industrial revolution than there were 150 years ago.

And yet there are over 1100 additional coal power plants planned for construction over the next 10-15 years.

And imagine how much worse it would be without cheap, plentiful and reliable electricity? Not claiming that coal plants aren’t bad, but most people seem to conveniently leave out all the quality of life benefits that come from having electricity.

Doubtful.
