No One Is Driving But Global Warming Isn't Decreasing Like You Think It Would

The saying ‘a little goes a long way’ doesn’t really apply to climate change, so our piddly break from driving hasn’t really done much to move the needle. A new study found that the roughly three months we were all inside at the beginning of the year only lowered the estimated rise in temperature by 2030 by 0.01 degrees.

That tiny blip on Earth’s future thermostat is thanks to a 17 percent drop in global emissions during the peak of the Coronavirus crisis. At least half of that drop was from transportation emission, according to an earlier study.

The planet is and always has been evolving despite man's best and worst plans and actions. It will be here long after humans are gone be it by bug, bomb or behavior.

When Noah's Ark was in town, and it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, where were the environmental wackos? Proof that climate change is a political agenda.

If the lefties are wrong, we all end up with cleaner air and fewer deaths from pulmonary diseases. If the righties (US righties I should say, as conservatives from the entire rest of the world believe in global warming), then we all die. Risk vs. reward...

The lack of understanding and critical thinking around this subject is on full display here. Can't fix stupid and no sense debating with rocks on this subject.
