Yes defund or stay out of such a lopsided agreement. They have the public so trained to hear the word CLIMATE and the instant reaction is "yay I'm doing a good deed". Infuriating, won't look at facts or costs. God has directed us to be good stewards of the earth. Does not mean put the Earth above people! Just another element of the drive to reduce the population. Climate accords are expensive and overly penalize America. Our pollution is much lower than China and India already. As a policy it just doesn't make sense. Climate change being man made is still a theory. The Earth has gone thru numerous cycles of heating and cooling. I'm guessing humans do have an impact no one is saying we should pollute our air and water. COMMON SENSE is needed.
Way too big a topic for here, but what sealed the deal for me on climate change was the realization that it only took a 4C drop in temperature for the ice age to occur. That is - today's temps are only 4C higher than they were during the ice age. So 4C is a helluva lot when you look at the average temp overall for the world. So the fact we have warmed by 1C in the past 50 or so years, and are on a trajectory to warm by more than 4C in the next 100 years, is quite significant.
Very hard topic to discuss as it's so polarized now, but - as an engineer / scientist - it was the small amount of change required to have big impact that got me.
I agree it's a complicated subject. But as a nation the penalties and costs are too high when no one else is doing their part. Now they want to pass the way too expensive Green New Deal FOLLOW THE MONEY. Who makes money from this....
Another interesting angle on this is the impact of regulations. Back in the 70s, the average car got well under 20mpg. Today you can buy cars getting 40+ mpg. If it weren't for regulations, this would never have happened. Whatever else you think of 'climate change', dependence on oil is not a good thing, and wasting the finite amount of oil we do have is not a good idea.
Good point.I believe the financials behind these industries are the reason certain technologies aren't being developed or used (old example was pantyhose that never run) because that would put the manufacturers and stores out of business . Tires for example could probably make ones that drive a million miles but that would destroy a whole industry. Cars that run on water... I saw something about that a long time ago I don't remember the details. Technology for recycling so everything has another use. Which industry will be first and convert to give a long lasting product at reasonable manufacturing cost? Consumerism drives all of this. I personally want my telephone to last longer than 2 years. They seem to self destruct.
