“Thank god for air conditioning. Let’s talk about refrigerators. I personally like my refrigerator. I know you all like yours. What about washing machines and dryers? Lord please God don’t make me scrub clothes in a bucket and have to hang them out on a line when we switch over to wind turbines and solar panels,” she said. “I’m gonna be really pissed off about that. I mean, how absurd is this? I like the lights on. I wanna stay up later at night. I don’t wanna have to go to bed when the sun sets. It’s so silly! I mean, all of this is insane.”
Ms Greene was speaking shortly after the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes $62.7bn in clean electricity credits, a $30bn nuclear energy credit, $51.1bn in wind and solar tax credits, $37.4bn for clean manufacturing, and $36.9bn in individual green energy credits, according to The New York Times.

The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased by over 40% since the pre-industrial era, from about 280 parts per million (ppm) to over 415 ppm as of 2021. This increase in CO2 concentration is a significant driver of climate change and is projected to cause further warming in the coming decades.
The increase in greenhouse gases like CO2 leads to a thicker "blanket" around the Earth, trapping more heat from the sun and warming the planet's surface. This process is known as the enhanced greenhouse effect or global warming. The warming of the Earth's surface and oceans can lead to a range of climatic changes, including:
Rising sea levels: Warmer temperatures cause glaciers and ice sheets to melt, which leads to an increase in sea level.
Changes in precipitation patterns: As the Earth warms, evaporation increases, leading to more water vapor in the atmosphere. This can cause changes in precipitation patterns, such as more intense rainfalls, droughts, and changes in the timing and location of rainfall.
Increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events: Warmer temperatures can lead to more frequent and severe heatwaves, wildfires, hurricanes, and other extreme weather events.
Changes in ecosystems: The changing climate can affect ecosystems by altering plant and animal species' ranges and life cycles.
Ocean acidification: When CO2 dissolves in seawater, it forms carbonic acid, which can decrease the ocean's pH level. This process is known as ocean acidification and can have harmful effects on marine life. -

If you could shape an ice cube out of all the ice losses from Greenland and Antarctica over the past three decades, it would stand 20km high.

The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased significantly since the Industrial Revolution, primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The current level of CO2 in the atmosphere is the highest it has been in at least 800,000 years, as confirmed by ice core data.
While CO2 is a naturally occurring gas in the atmosphere, its concentration plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's temperature. CO2 and other greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, creating a natural "greenhouse effect" that makes Earth habitable. However, when the concentration of these gases increases beyond certain levels, the Earth's temperature begins to rise, leading to climate change and its associated impacts.
The idea that climate change is a "political scam" because CO2 only makes up a small percentage of the atmosphere is incorrect. Reality is that even small changes in the concentration of greenhouse gases can have significant impacts on global climate patterns, and the rapid increase in CO2 concentrations due to human activities is the primary cause of the current climate crisis. -

More word games. It's still negligible, 800,000 years ago or today. 0.04%, to be exact. Four hundredths of one percent. At two hundredths of one percent, plant life starts dying. Trust the science! -

It isn't negligible. The increase of CO2 in the atmosphere from about 280 ppm to over 415 ppm represents a significant change in the composition of the Earth's atmosphere. The pre-industrial levels of CO2 were relatively stable for thousands of years, while the current levels are at the highest they have been in at least 800,000 years, and possibly even millions of years.
The increase in CO2 has significant implications for the Earth's climate and ecosystems. CO2 is a potent greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere and contributes to global warming. The increase in atmospheric CO2 levels is a major driver of the observed increase in global temperatures over the past century, and is causing a range of impacts including melting glaciers and sea level rise, more frequent heat waves and extreme weather events, and changes in the timing and distribution of rainfall.
The effects of this increase are compounded by the fact that CO2 remains in the atmosphere for a long time. Even if we stopped all emissions of CO2 today, the atmospheric concentrations would remain elevated for hundreds of years.
The increase of CO2 in the atmosphere represents a significant and ongoing threat to the health of the planet and all its inhabitants. -

You keep keep on claiming things have never been worse, and yet you've provided ZERO credible evidence for the claim. It's like a religion with you little guys. All faith and no facts. -
