As we have waded through the whole issue of man made global warming, or its new rebranded title of climate change, we found that Al Gore and people like him were guilty of a number of things:
- Ignoring science and realities that did not support their opinions and positions.
- Rather than have an adult conversation about climate, these types of advocates like Gore sank to the level of insulting those who dared look at ALL science by calling them a variety of names including racists, homophobes, terrorists, flat earth believers, and other slanderous names.
- Continuing to insist that politicians step up their intrusions into our lives with higher taxes, more regulations, and more control on our freedoms and standards of living based on a shaky theory at best.
Thus, let’s see the latest facts and science that prove you can be a global warming doubter and a believer in science, regardless of what Al Gore proclaims.
1) When Trump pulled the United States out of the ill fated and horrible Paris Climate Agreement several years ago, liberals and global warming advocates were besides themselves. They hated him from pulling out of an agreement that was never ratified by the Senate as required by the Constitution and which was horrible biased and costly against the United States. But the advocates acted like Trump had condemned the entire human race to death by global warming.
But according to a February 12, 2020 article on the Daily Wire website by Ryan Saavedra, their fears and forecast of doom, as always, failed to become reality. In fact:
- In 2019, the United States reduced its carbon footprint/CO2 emissions by more than any other country in the world.
- And unlike what would have happened if we had stayed in the Paris agreement, this reduction in emission was done while experiencing solid economic growth.
- According to the International Energy Agency (IEA): “The United States saw the largest decline in energy-related CO2 emissions in 2019 on a country basis – a fall of 140 Mt, or 2.9%, to 4.8 Gt. US emissions are now down almost 1 Gt from their peak in the year 2000, the largest absolute decline by any country over that period.”
- The use of coal in this country was down 15%, a big goal of the failed Paris agreement.
- But despite the use of less coal, the cost of natural gas for energy also went down to the economic benefit of every American.
- As we have said many times in this blog, it does not matter what the United States does from a carbon footprint perspective unless the world gets China and India to seriously decrease their ever rising use of coal.
- This point was driven home again by the International Energy Agency which found that 80% of the increase in carbon came from Asia, mostly China and India: “Emissions grew strongly in Southeast Asia, lifted by robust coal demand.”
And the reality continues that unless India and China get on board and do what the U.S.has done with its carbon footprint and substantially clean up its behavior and reduce its coal usage, the air and the climate will not get much better despite the United States stellar climate change behavior.
2) One constant culprit that liberals, Democrats, and global warming advocates love to attack is cows and the beef they provide. California has gone so far as to regulate what cows eat in order to clean up their farts, i.e. reduce the amount of methane that comes out of the rear ends of cows. Yes, cows are guilty of causing global warming and climate change.
But the hypocrisy of such advocacy was certainly on parade recently at a Democratic political rally:
- A few months back, the Democratic Party was in full blown hysteria trying to figure out who their 2020 Presidential candidate should be.
- At that time, the candidates and their campaigns were in Iowa trying to win the Iowa Democratic caucuses and be the early leader in the Presidential race.
- The Polk County (Iowa) Democratic party hosted a Steak Fry in which they cooked over 10,000 pieces of beef for the event.
- This was the menu despite weeks and weeks of lead up to the caucuses where every Democrat running for President lamented about the gloom and doom of man made climate change, of which beef production and cow farts have always been a part of the Democrats and liberals hatred.
- Many of the candidates had actually come out and stated they wanted to limit and cut down on beef consumption in this country because of their fallacy that it was messing up the climate.
- But despite their fear mongering, they were fed about 10,500 steaks but only 1,000 vegan burgers.
So Trump delivers great news about reducing our carbon footprint despite the gloom and doom from people like Al Gore. But people like Al Gore scarf down some big chunks of beef, the very culprit they accuse of causing climate change. What a crazy and hypocritical world we live in.
