Can we get any of the Green lefties to admit that the transition must be slower?

I'll take anything in the way of contrition. Any admission that, even if most rank and file green folks are well-intentioned, you folks bought snake oil from leaders who don't have any of our best interests at heart?

Any concession that coal, oil and gas are vital to maintaining our way of life, probably into the next century?

I'm as reasonable as they come, but this nonsense has gone on far, far too long.

You are expecting idiots to suddenly develop judgement?

Not a chance. They are all part of the climate change cult. Everything must transition as quickly as possible or we will all die.

Yeah, right. Contrition requires decency; you'll get none of that.

Any concession


You will not get any, except maybe some folks that are on the edge of the movement...

The transition will not be slowed... Our way of life has got to be changed in order to bring us in compliance with our overlords...

The EPA is passing rule after rule on CO2, PFAS, etc which is going to have a huge impact on life as we know it moving forward...

When have climate nutjobs ever acknowledged ANY level of error? They just change the narrative and quietly hope nobody notices. This has been going on for decades.

No. They're not capable of having a rational conversation

Are mental......they want us to stop oil production bc of climate change but want the Arabs to increase oil production and sell it to us.......I didn't know the ME was in a different climate than us.

Even if I believed that the only way forward was "green" energy, it's abundantly clear we are not even CLOSE to being in any position to have this work at all.

We were far closer to being able to put a man on the moon in a decade back in '60 when Kennedy promised that than we are prepared to be "green" in the next decade.

Not to mention, even if you buy the entire green argument (I don't) how does it ultimately benefit America to suddenly be almost entirely energy dependent on China, considering nearly all of the infrastructure needed for that would be being produced by them? We go from being energy independent to being at China's mercy?

It's hard not to assume this is simply to displace America as the world's superpower and uplift China.

Even Elon Musk has said as much.

They won't admit it until it impacts them personally even after they've tried sacrificing their ICE vehicles and fossil fuel electricity production.

I think we should start an advertising campaign promoting California as the Green Energy Capitol of the Future and push all the green sheep into moving there. After that? Let them fail, that's the only way they'll learn.

The elites who profit most from the climate change hoax never plan on being inconvenienced by the hardships those decisions cause.

There does not need to be a transition to anything other then what we have . Science has shown that batteries are expensive to produce , not reliable , and do not last the test of time . Also we have no mines to produce the lithium that is required to produce the batteries , and they are just as toxic as carbon emissions . Why mess with something that is totally dependable and reliable , that we depend on in our everyday lives ? It’s just ignorance .

It has to be done slowly. Pushing it too fast is going to cause a lot of harm to people.

"The more meaningful and precise orbiting satellite data for the same period (which are generally not cited by the press) have year after year showed little or no warming."

Transitioning is racist!

I'm not transitioning to a damned thing.
