Oh man...you just completely undermined the entire argument for acting to limit AGW. You deserve a Nobel and millions in cash and prizes. Good job!

Shouldn't you be though? Apparently we shipped enough fentanyl into the US to kill 4 million Americans - a small duffle bag's worth. A whole container would kill billions of them. Yeah, no wonder they're so concerned.

End-of-the-world...you mean like being reduced to an asteroid belt again or when the sun turns into a red giant? This is similar to the meaningless deflective statement the climate is changing all the time that you people like throwing out there. All scientists mean by the end is that the environment we're used to will change into one that's not as benign and much harder to survive and thrive in. The data you select can tell you whatever story you like. What are you trying to illustrate exactly with your question, that I'm lucky or should be grateful I wasn't born during the Dark Ages? Sure okay.

Zionist terror groups started stealing land long before that - Arabs declared war following the massacre of Palestinians at Deir Yassin. Palestinian lands are still being stolen to this day. And now Israeli settlers are eyeing up Gaza.

Actually, AGW is the threat because of greenhouse gases.

He has a lot of supporters who will cheer this stickin' it to libbies. From the OP article. Zeldin wrote that Wednesday was the “most consequential day of deregulation in American history” and that “we are driving a dagger through the heart of climate-change religion and ushering in America’s Golden Age.” Zeldin boasted about the changes and said his agency’s mission was to “lower the cost of buying a car, heating a home and running a business”. So it's an Economic Protection Agency...making the world safe for capitalism. This where the rubber of unleashing hits the road. It'll be up to individual states to protect their environment - Red states vs Green states.

Her scolding the reporter for insulting her knowledge of economics certainly clinched it. I bet you $10 she's also an expert in viral immunology and vaccinology.

You actually believe we should and can seal it to the extent it is utterly impenetrable. You've made it clear nothing less will do. Because Mr Trump says so.

The lickspittles and sycophants Trump has surrounded himself with are never going to get thru to him. We should be relying and counting on our best allies to bring Trump to heel - ordinary Americans.

Pierre Poilievre should be criticizing Canadian representatives for going down to talk with Trump until he shuts up about annexing us.

The best way Canada can deal with the U.S. Is to not deal with the US at all until Trump stops mouthing off about annexing us. That should should have been a pre-condition to even meeting weeks ago and I'm a little pissed off at not seeing our representatives walking out when he starts. It's just downright insulting.

LMAO!

Yes but I also lie constantly so...

Both are just as important AFAIC. A flash in the pan on historical time scales. The rich are getting richer mostly at the expense of the planet's natural capital. That is what will cause social capital to wane. We should have been focused on this decades ago. Now it's just another convenient excuse for seducing the canine. Just to be sure, you're not talking to someone who has a whole lot of hope for the future, in fact I increasingly think the only hope for the planet is the total collapse of our economy and most of our population with it. I'm afraid our best days and our best chances are long behind us.

It was also stolen. And yet it was Palestinians who had land stolen from them. Some still have the original deeds to their property. Don't know and don't care because they're not responsible for what Zionist terrorists or Israeli paramilitaries did.

Except I think gods are imaginary and I don't support or vote for Liberals. Proof of what?

You figure gods turn people into cultists? Interesting.

You figure these were actually bestowed as gifts by grateful Palestinians?

Say what? Conservatives created the goddamn tax. It seems Conservatives are always creating things for Liberals to use to their advantage. Hey it's not exactly the bees knees but let's face it action on climate change has been getting a bad rap for 40 years or more now so...good job. Go find a majority of economists who are pointing to the more effective measure. It doesn't exist. That's what I've been saying. And of course that the same will be true of PP and the Conservatives and whatever they come up with. Go ask Scott Moe if you don't believe me. Scott Moe says Saskatchewan considered carbon tax alternatives, but found them too costly

It seems your article talks a lot more about growing inequalities, especially on the ground where people live. Amongst the worst was this one in my estimation. In 2018, we saw the world’s 12th consecutive year of decline in global freedom, with 71 countries suffering net declines in political and civil liberties

What will you do when Poilievre takes up the battle and begins waging it on your behalf?

Everyone just went with the flow when the tax turned to kryptonite is all. Which always begs the question what next given everything else is more expensive, less effective and costs taxpayers more?

Maybe in your imagination, they also said they'll be scrapping it once Ottawa does so be patient. Yeah well you know me, I'm with Warren Buffet - we should be taxing the snot out of the rich.

I don't know where you get your rosy view but inequality has been widening globally with the wealthiest seeing their share of income grow faster than those at lower income levels everywhere. It depends on what you mean by resources I guess. It's a complex question for sure but the most telling one in the case of our use if natural renewable resources or natural capital is that which is known as a sink resource - the ability of natural ecosystems to absorb our waste stream and recycle it back into useful products. Like adapting to AGW this process takes time and natural ecosystems simply can't keep up to the demand we're placing on them. Take the draw down of water resources, especially underground aquifers, in the southwest US. There are some 50 million people who depend on water sources that took thousands of years to develop. They've almost been drained dry inside of 100 years or less.

It's not that different in BC, the Climate Action Tax Credit goes to those with lower income. Or thru direct transfers (ie to low income folks) that result in little to no net gain for the government. But I suppose if trying to do anything at all to mitigate AGW is just so much communism, the battle was always lost before it even got started.
