I used the word "adjust" and you assumed I meant some sort of abrupt and nonsensical reduction in energy supply. That was far from a reasonable assumption.

When I see someone who is calling out people climate deniers yada yada, and also using words like "adjust", you see typically when people use words like "adjust" (To move or change (something) so as to be in a more effective arrangement or desired condition), that means to do something different, that is a reasonable assumption for me to make that it means start implementing the climate policy stuff (reducing energy supply or increasing cost)

However, apparently you meant the word "adjust" to mean just keep doing the same thing, which is insane and not an assumption that any reasonable person would make. You are continuing to be disingenuous.

That's a whole lot of words to say you made a bad assumption.

It should be abundantly clear that emissions and climate change are and have been a major topic for some time, and that governments around the world have been adjusting in response. Adjusting. Now. Like I said. And that in no way means reducing the energy supply. Far from it, we are developing more ways to produce more energy. Global energy production/consumption has increased year after year, even in the face of these "adjustments", and that shows no signs of slowing down. Your rambling about reducing the energy supply is bonkers.
