@MarmeeMarch that's crazy. You can't tell. The national disgrace isn't about individuals, anyway. Nobody can stop the ecocide. It's done! Murka killed it.
@gol979 asks [quote]Can the proponents of this ... tell us the % of CO2 in the atmosphere and let us know what % they want it at[/quote] Yes
Current average atmospheric CO2 levels: 417.2 parts per million. That's about 50% higher than pre-industrial levels. In 1990, average CO2 levels were about 355 ppm. https://research.noaa.gov/article/ArtMID/587/ArticleID/2914/No-sign-of-significant-decrease-in-global-CO2-emissions https://essd.copernicus.org/articles/14/4811/2022/
Actually, the Paris Accords set a limit on temperature rise. The Accords agree to limit global temperature rise this century at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
For large industrial countries like the US, that means cutting its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to about 50% below 2005 levels by 2030.
In 2005, US CO2 emissions were 19.5 metric tons per capita. In 2021 we emitted 14.24 metric tons per capita That means the US is more than half way to the Paris Accords emission level.
[b]Lemme repeat that - the US CO2 emissions cuts are already more than half way to the Paris Accords levels![/b]
We are on track, and the dire economic predictions of the anti-environemental extremists are proven false.

For a little perspective, here's 800,000 years of GHG data, covering about 7 ice ages. The climate data comes from bubbles in glacial ice, and is corroborated by data from lake & sea floor sediments. https://icecores.org/about-ice-cores CO2 & methane & temp data Here's [i]where[/i] the various data sets were collected: The most salient thing about the 800,000 years of climate data is the rate of change during those previous 7 ice ages compared to the current rate of change this century.
Can you unclutch your pearls for a moment to do the math?? A three ton limit per person; presumably metric tons, so 6600 lbs per year.
The average human exhales about 2.3 pounds of carbon dioxide on an average day. Multiply that by 365.25 days per year and you get 840 lbs of CO2 exhaled. DUUUDE!!! That still leaves 5750 lbs of CO2 for you to emit! Breathe all you like!!!
Can the proponents of this mainstream quackery tell us the % of CO2 in the atmosphere and let us know what % they want it at......this simple question exposes the insanity of this ideology. It only makes sense if it is about controlling huge swaths of people not about "saving the earth"
@DeluxedEdition Sure! The democrats say eat bugs, live longer! The democrats say don't eat beef, steaks, hamburgers! They democrats say, " Eat crickets!! Flies!! All the insects!!". While they fly home in their big jet planes, spewing ALL kinds of pollution, eating steak or lamb on board.
