re: Educate me on Climate Change

So my knowledge on this is basically limited to what you hear on the mainstream news.

For those who think climate change is not an issue or is not real or not a big deal can you explain why you feel this way and what information you have to back up your sentiments.

I'm MAGA big time, the environment is the one area where I lean liberal but I want to get better educated on this issue.

Do some independent research and you will find out that the USA was the first and only country to meet the Kyoto Protocol standards on CO2 emissions, and we did by embracing fracking and natural gas not "green energy." Germany and the EU embraced "green energy" and shunned nuclear, which left the EU way too reliant on Russian oil and natural gas imports which makes them vulnerable because Putin can cut off the gas anytime he wants. Then in order to counter that vulnerability, Germany ramped up its coal usage, and the EU, the USA, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and others tried to overthrow Assad to control the natural gas pipelines heading to Europe which lead to civil war. Both of those things increased global carbon emissions, and Europe's carbon credit system turned out to be a massive failure.

In addition to the pack of lies the UN, the democratic party and the liberal media have been selling about their solutions, we've passed the point of no return and "runaway" climate change is now inevitable. Which just makes the liberal solutions even more ridiculous. Yes, climate change is a real issue and yes we need to limit CO2 emissions but "green energy" pipedreams, international clusterf**k agreements like Kyoto and Paris accords, carbon credit, and carbon tax goals are not the way to do it. If you want to "fight global warming" you should support expanding the use of nuclear energy to fight climate change, natural gas to replace coal, and increasing the USA's coal and LNG exports to Europe so they don't have to be dependent on Russia and/or meddling in the Middle East. Since "runaway climate change" is inevitable you should support restoring La's wetlands to protect against future storms and capture CO2, building desalination plants and new reservoirs in Ca to lessen the impacts of the drought, and other projects like those that will lessen the impacts of "runaway climate change."
