I agree with that. The scientists define the problem, politicians decide how to fix it. Fossil fuel companies pay politicians not to fix it.

I rarely do use it. As I said, what an individual does has minimal effect on climate change. 99% of the world's population never uses aircon at home. None do, they may take a rake but that's a different topic. Which is why governments are required to force changes in the way electricity is generated in power stations.

Have you thought about reading what the IPCC actually does? It is up to each country's politicians to implement policies to meet IPCC targets and agreements. The IPCC is not in the business of telling countries how to achieve emission goals since every country is different.

My point is how can I install solar panels as a condo tenant? I have altered my lifestyle. I live in an area where I can walk everywhere and do so. Meaningful action on climate change can only occur on a macroeconomic level, like closing coal fired power stations, removal of fossil fuel subsidies, preventing land clearing and the like. There's obviously very little incentive for greedy rich capitalist pig dog landlords to expend capital to save their tenants from having to pay power bills and most such owners don't own the entire building anyway. Again, government legislation to force developers to install solar panels is the only way this is going to occur on a wide scale.

Irrelevant. Climate change will not be solved by governments doing nothing. Governments passing legislation to force and encourage changes to fossil fuel and land use are crucial. That is the elephant in the room. Individuals installing solar panels won't cut it because most can't afford them. Help needs to be provided to poorer countries to assist hem in adopting new technologies such as solar panels. Solar panels can only be installed by house owners in the main. Only the rich capitalist pig dogs who own the apartment blocks and their own houses can install solar panels. Mere mortals don't have that option do they?

The only people advocating waiting are right wingers wanting us to wait for the Chinese to reduce their emissions, despite the fact that Chinese per capita emissions are quite low.

Climate scientists know that's its CO2 that's the problem. They know what is causing the CO2, it's Fossil fuel burning, land clearing and cows mainly. As you said, they don't make policy and don;t try to. They merely point out what needs to be done.

How are the Russians paying for it all?

The Russians depended heavily on the US in WW2, it's false to say they looked after themselves. This time they don't have the uS industrial might on their side. -

New York grand jury to hear pro-Trump witness in hush money case
ozimoron replied to Social Media's topic in World News
You guys have a crystal ball? On Monday, prosecutors in the Manhattan grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump's $130,000 hush payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels called David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer and a longtime ally of the former president, to the stand. It's unclear immediately why Pecker, who was instrumental to bringing down Trump's former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen, was called. But, wrote Jordan Rubin for MSNBC.com, a possible reason is to expose false claims by Robert Costello, a Trump-aligned lawyer who testified to the grand jury last week to try to discredit the claims made by Michael Cohen. https://www.rawstory.com/costello-pecker/ -
Army Commander Follows up on Beach Management in Phuket

Name a single country, any country, where the army restricts itself to defense duties only. -
"This should panic Republicans who have any sense of reality," Rubin said. "Are they going to nominate a guy who was indicted for trying to overthrow the government, for trying to retain and obstruct justice? The Republican Party may be crazy, but I do not think the American people by any stretch of the imagination would re-elect Donald Trump, and that has serious consequences for the Republican Party. https://www.newsweek.com/gop-trump-arrest-2024-new-york-desantis-1790570

Not a good time to be a Trumpian. With Donald Trump facing no less than four criminal investigations, as well as civil suits headed to court, his ever-changing team of lawyers has no leader and no coherent legal strategy, according to the Wall Street Journal. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-lawyers-2659660424/

"Florida is where woke goes to die," according to the Sunshine State's governor, Republican Ron DeSantis, who has based much of his expected 2024 presidential campaign on being "anti-woke." But a new poll from Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal is devastating to many of the policies being promoted and enacted by Governor DeSantis in his "free state of Florida," calling into question how he and other Republicans who embrace his ideas will fare on the national stage. "Patriotism, religious faith, having children and other priorities that helped define the national character for generations are receding in importance to Americans," warns the WSJ, with some on social media pointing to a graphic that purports to capture how much America has changed in the past 25 years. https://www.rawstory.com/new-wsj-poll-shows-america-is-not-with-desantis-on-his-anti-woke-policies/

No, but Martians obviously did.

An NBC News poll in January showed that 55 percent of Americans— including a majority of independents— said they believe Republicans will spend ‘too much time investigating President Joe Biden and not enough time on other priorities.” The same poll revealed that 63 percent of those surveyed say they had little to no confidence that Congress will conduct a fair and impartial investigation into Biden and his administration. A Pew Research Center poll out that same month showed that 65 percent are concerned that Republican lawmakers will focus too much on Biden administration investigations, including four in 10 Republicans. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3917317-hunter-biden-probes-put-gop-under-some-pressure/ The Manhattan grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump over hush money payments returned on Monday to hear more evidence, with still no word on when it might be asked to vote on a possible indictment. The grand jury is now back on Trump, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss secretive proceedings. It was not immediately clear whether an additional witness might be called before the panel. https://apnews.com/article/trump-hush-money-manhattan-investigations-grand-jury-742461a52c86bb491667b085bc1aaa0b?utm_source=homepage&utm_medium=TopNews&utm_campaign=position_06
