Nice try at being dizzy. Your white nationalist talking
points fall flat in the face of reality . . . but yes, continue.

Seriously...!
You got something specifically against Caucasian People...????
and
Every time you spout off about " White Nationalism " you're
exposing YOUR parties TRUE heritage....You do realize that
don't YOU !

The Republican Party was/is the inclusive Political Party and
has been that way damn near since inception...

Your Party YOU support was run on RACISM and a
CIVIL WAR was fought in this Country because of the RACISM
YOUR Party stood for....
After YOUR Party lost the CIVIL WAR they created the KKK to
terrorize freed slaves and any individuals/groups that supported
them.....
The DEMOCRATIC Party YOU Carry water for daily on this Forum
is one of the worst Racist Organizations on the face of the Planet !

So again....You got something specifically against Caucasian People.....????
Or are you an all inclusive RACIST !!!

New York's climate change solution: Harm regular people for no noticeable benefit
By Gregory Wrightstone
Last week, the New York City Council approved a resolution declaring a climate emergency that it hopes will mobilize efforts to forestall the devastation of purported global warming from greenhouse gas emissions. While entirely symbolic and not even needing presidential hopeful Mayor Bill de Blasio's signature, the council said its action could make America's largest city a global leader "by organizing a transition to renewable energy and climate emergency mobilization effort."

In support of the call for an emergency declaration, the document cited increasing wildfires, droughts, extreme weather, and possible extinction of up to one million species over the next several decades. To prevent such harm, the resolution draws much from the Green New Deal and the Paris Climate Accord, including net zero greenhouse gas emissions, a 100% renewable energy goal, and "climate justice" (whatever that is). The document ends with a call for an "immediate emergency mobilization to restore a safe climate."

If these terrible catastrophes were occurring and we could prevent them, then serious measures would certainly be necessary. However, widely accepted data — from sources other than extremists such as the World Wildlife Fund — reveal inconvenient facts quite dissimilar to the claims of the council.

Contrary to its statements, extreme weather-related deaths have been in long-term and significant decline, falling by 98% over the last 80-plus years. Heat-related deaths are outnumbered by those due to cold by as much as 20:1, meaning that warming would save lives. The United States Drought Monitorshows that the area in drought in this country is at its historic low since data collection began nearly twenty years ago. The allegation of an extinction of one million species would require 25,000 to 30,000 extinctions per year, yet, according to the IUCN Red List, the extinctions numbers have been in significant decline since the early 1900s and have averaged only two per yearsince 1970.

The overarching goal of the resolution is to lower the Earth's temperature by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, primarily carbon dioxide. In order to achieve the proposed reductions, energy costs would necessarily be increased significantly, either through a cap-and-trade system or a direct tax on emissions. Either of these methods would raise costs across the board for all citizens and companies. If the citizens of New York City, or, for that matter, the citizens across the Empire State were to be subjected to the economically crippling increases in costs associated with the energy transformation proposed, should we not know just how much of an effect a reduction in emissions would have on temperature?

Iʻm happy to let New York experiment with whatever they want. Sure Would have been nice to have some extra revenue from Amazon. Thanks alot AOC!

The world has a trash problem, and a new report out Tuesday reminds us just how much Americans contribute. Turns out that while we create the most waste in the world, we’re one of the worst countries at recycling it.

The report—published by Verisk Maplecroft, a global risk analysis group—looks at the waste generation and recycling performance of 194 countries, including China, Australia, and Russia. Every year, we humans produce some 2.1 billion tons of solid waste.
 
Chubb Ltd., the nation’s largest commercial insurance company, announced it will move away from insuring and investing in coal. It becomes the first major U.S. insurance company to take such action, joining more than a dozen European and Australian insurers that have already adopted similar policies.
