I was being sarcastic. I don't actually believe Germany's position to be a positive one.
As to your question, both. Why not?
Nuclear
Fracking
sometimes, SJWs really defy logic

I don't know so much. I just watched Angela Merkel promise to phase out coal use by 2030.
Good job Angela, that'll do it!
Edit> Maybe something was lost in the translation. An article I just read says 2038.
Still, it's good to know one of the leaders in preventing climate change is taking it so seriously.
the problem is that at what costs though? Is LNG or Nuclear OK?

Oh so that's how. People who aren't POTUS supposedly did it, so it's OK for 45 to do it.
When/If a Democrat ever gets back into the Oval Office, it'll be astonishing to see the GOP reaction exhibit this level of lawlessness.
sry, I mean this

Just curious how one can justify Trump asking a foreign government to dig up dirt on a potential political rival and threatening to withhold military aid is proper and not appallingly corrupt?
Or is it just OK because Trump's a good guy and all the Dems are evil?
Were you thinking hillary clinton and joe biden, but, somehow, wrote Trump instead?

Continually using personal attacks on me won't help you to make a credible argument. But still thank you for providing the prologue of the event.
From the video you provided, I see the old man had some kinds of quarrels with the protesters at the beginning. Then he chased one or more protesters to the middle of the street. He waved a whine bottle but not used it attacking protesters. At 0:32, a protester threw something on him then fled. Then the man chased the protester around street.
........
haha, whatnever you said. The old man is not just an old man. He is a pro-gov't mob.
Are you dare to post the news from one week ago? Or, you have no idea what is "警黑合作"?

I read the whole thing, and did not clink on additional links. For me, the takeaway is that India is at least making the effort, along with States, cities and organizations in the US, while Canada is not - with the full support of people who seem to think that no effort is better than some effort.
We do; where are you living?? we are tax to death with the greenhouse gas emissions tax, electric cars rebate....

The Paris Accord lets them continue to increase emissions until 2030. We can do that.
I don't understand, it don't make sense

Turns out, India is on track to meeting their Paris Accord commitments, one of only a few countries to do so. One less excuse for "do-nothing" crowd to use justifying inaction.
Even as Trump undermines action to mitigate climate change, a coalition of American States, cities and businesses have formed a coalition to meet the Paris Accord; that coalition represents 65% of US citizens and 70% of GDP and will reduce US emissions between 17% and 24% by 2030. An admirable example of people who don't sit on their backsides, whinging about "the other guy".
Link.
did you read the story and click at link to read some more?
Sorry for my ignorance, after reading the article(I really read it), is this another "harry and meghan are flying carbon neutral private because they are climate change activists" story? There is no hard date yet (Then, I am so confused with their back to 2005 stuff). All are projection.
QuoteWe rate India’s 2030 NDC “2°C compatible.”
The “2°C compatible” rating indicates that India’s climate commitment in 2030 is within the range of what is considered to be a fair share of global effort but is not consistent with the Paris Agreement. This approach requires other countries to make deeper reductions and comparably greater effort to limit warming to 1.5°C. If all countries were to follow India’s approach, warming could be held below—but not well below—2°C, and hence would still be too high to be consistent with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C temperature limit. The 2°C compatible category refers to the 2°C goal adopted by the Copenhagen Agreement in 2009, now replaced by the 1.5°C limit in the Paris Agreement, providing a historical reference point and bridge to the Paris Agreement compatible category rating.
If the CAT were to rate India’s NDC based on its conditional target of 40% non-fossil generation, it would still fall into the same “2°C compatible” category.
Ifthe CAT were to rate India’s projected emissions levels in 2030 under current policies, the upper end of the current policy range would fall into the “2°C compatible” category while the lower end would be rated “1.5°C Paris Agreement compatible”.

Black face is no longer racist? Well, somebody owes the governor of Virginia a big apology! He went through several weeks of shit because of it. As have others. But, just as his massive ethics violations. Justin gets another pass from his sycophantic supporters. Whom over time, resemble more and more just like Trump supporters.

told you so; that 2 reporters were the "head" giving. HKG needed them for the political propaganda. HKG's hand-out at the OHCHR (too bad, they forget to ps the gun out from the undercover cops)

Another one too; , we are back, like father like son, our PM is USA media talking point

I think you misread the whole story here. There was no fake news. NYT only dropped part of story (she don't remember and it was a second-hand information). Media has no obligation to be honest or to report the news; It only has to report the narrative. People (CNN, 2020 dems candidates) who grabbed the story and ran with it without FC it first were the problem.

Liberals seem to be buying his shtick, they don't care especially in Quebec, if he wins re-election Canada will be the laughing stock of the world. Having said that, I'd give anyone else another chance as it was so long ago and he has apologized of course, however, Trudeau is such a semonizing self rightious holier than thou sermonizer who is pretty quick to call people racist when they disagree with him, that he should not be given a pass on this. Karma just ran over his Dogma.
Quebec is already in JT's pocket after the SNC. The really problem for him is in BC and ONT. Some middle-class wives in suburbia are very upset now

It's been a couple years since I have been on here due to the fact my late hubby died and life went on and this Trudeau thing has gotten to me and I need to give my 2 cents....First....if u r not a liberal, of course, u r going to come out and rant and if u r Liberal one has to really think what is being said. Myself, this is small stuff....I will judge him by his record on being the PM alone, not what he did 20 years ago and he has said his peace on that. I don't want the next debate to be about this....I want to know were all the parties stand on issues and for the other parties, by keeping this thing going we may end up hearing nothing else on debate night....
You are damn right. It is 20 years ago. However, it was not right 20 years ago already, remember it was at the Van, not deep south. Here are the 2 "things" really troubling me:
(1) People who were at the party came out to defend him. They said that no one found it was inappropriate at that time. If they did, they would stop him. C'mon what a weak reasoning. It was be'cos only JT was "brown-faced"
(2) JT did not find it was odd that he was the "only brown-faced" in the party.

There are thousands of mob protesters. Do you think all of them are undercover cops?
If the mobs were undercover police officers, why would so-called peaceful protesters and the opposite party leaders always demand government to pardon them but send them to prison?
If they were undercover cops, I suppose you would be happy to see riot police beating them. But since it seems like you are not happy with riot police's action, I suppose these mobs are not undercover cops but true protesters.
You don't get the joke

By Canadian values alone, "acting like an ape wearing blackface" is indefensible and inexcusable. Not even diehard Libs will back him on that if it's true. I'll be surprised if the talk of resignation isn't front-and-center.
You better listen to your local phone-in. A lot of libs are stilll in his corner. BTW, he was the only brown face at that nights
Anyway, finally US cable news picked up a Canada news

If there is a recession on election day and/or he has a major foreign policy blunder, he might not pull it out.
But it's extremely likely to be a win if that isn't the case, especially with the weak opposition the Democrats are putting up to face him.C'mon, Biden is dangerous. He is the lawrence in the dirty rotten scoundrels. He may be mentally incompetent to be POTUS, but voters love his calm and harmless
Are humans really responsible for climate change?
