The United Nations officially ended global warming today. They said looks like we've been using faulty computer models for 40 years. There is no global warming, never mind. LOL LOL Rush Limbaugh said this was a hoax 35 years ago and I have never believed In it for one second. Yet most of the clowns on this forum will think it's real till the day they die. Just like they think that Russia Russia Russia was not a hoax. It was a Marxist attack on the West and it worked because most of you are Clueless idiots. This Cost us billions of dollars Hundreds of billions of dollars but not anymore. So you sweetie pies can quit hiding under your beds New York is not gonna be under water in the morning. Dunces
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Ironic to call people dunces when this is one of the most idiotic statements I have ever read...

If the UN denied climate change, and are going with a conservative policy, why is the one of the only countries objecting to the new stance?





-------

https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/un-backs-world-court-climate-opinion-us-among-few-oppose-2026-05-20/

"The United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday voted 141-8 to adopt a resolution backing a world court opinion that countries have a legal obligation to address climate change, with the ‌world's biggest historical emitter the United States among those opposing it."
---------

I am guessing that is the story you are referencing? Which says almost the opposite of what you claim.... Did you actually research the UN's statements or did you just hear a summary from some right wing radio loon?

Surely EB knows real climate policy ended in the US as soon as Trump was elected

I noted it myself Nov 6, 2024.

Trump's climate policy has nothing to do with real science. It's about something but not science.

some are getting excited over the UN panel backing down a bit

Quote: googlebot
The UN-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and climate scientists have retired their most extreme worst-case emissions scenario (known as RCP8.5 or SSP5-8.5), concluding it is no longer a plausible trajectory.

You can guess what I asked "googlebot"

Quote:
While the "apocalyptic" 4.5°C pathway has been ruled out, the new worst-case peak of 3.5°C is still far above the 1.5°C to 2°C limits established by the Paris Agreement. Current baseline policies put the planet on a trajectory for roughly 2.5°C to 3°C of warming by 2100, which would still trigger severe environmental and economic consequence

Good, except in Florida, we have no safety inspections.


We could do what they do in Oregon. EV owners pay either a two-year registration fee of $316 or pay $86 every two years, plus about 2 cents per mile driven. Data collected with plug-in device or an app.

EV and hybrid owners don't mind paying their fair share for roadway maintenance and upkeep. We just don't want to be taken advantage of.

The gas tax in OR is 40 cents a gallon. So those are fair rates for .4/gallon. The federal tax is .18 a gallon (less than half of O.) and they want to charge almost the same that your State is charging. That is my problem with the federal breakdown.

The US is in the midst of a battery boom critical to keeping the lights on amid heat waves, winter storms and surging electricity demand from artificial intelligence. But developers are increasingly encountering an implacable foe: communities afraid that large lithium-ion storage farms could spontaneously burst into flames.

The anachronistic fat oaf is funding the start of two new coal-fired power plants.

This jerkoff is using the war powers act to graft his cronies 700 million bucks for it.

"Big beautiful coal?"

bwa ha ha ha ... hope you die a painful death from black lung, fcorrupt at oaf...
