The new mini ice age has started.

Better be glad you’re below the 40° latitude where you’ll have a better chance not to freeze to death over the next 15 years.

Winter is coming!

I cant remember in the 32 years ive been alive a Polar Vortex reaching as far down as friggin Louisiana.

Unless the typical lows that come through during winter are considered polar vortexes?

Duke! What's the difference?!

And that still means no matter what we do, it won't matter. So why wreck our economy on some virtue signaling crusade?

We have the means to create cheap renewable energy. But the environazis want nothing to do with it.

So there were 3 other years hotter?

If there wasn’t global warming back then, how were there 3 hotter years?

China is obviously the main culprit, but this myth that the US isn't a problem anymore is, well, just that...a myth.


The US has 7 of the top 10 cleanest air cities in the world. THE WORLD

Are you sure about your stance?

The US might be that high but our emissions are declining. It obviously won’t be stated in the media but we are hitting our goals outlined in the Paris Climate Accord. We haven’t reversed in any way when Obama had America join.

We can’t stop climate change and it’s a joke to think otherwise.

Salmon, I didn't imply that the US wasn't a problem, but our overall emissions are going down. China and India dgaf.

Stop completely? You're probably right.

Slow it down or at least stop the bleeding? I think we can. Maybe not with today's technology, but in future I believe we will be able to capture our emissions much more effectively.
