Yes, China is a bad player but does that mean we do nothing until they do... Cutting emissions does not mean job loss or slow GDP growth but maybe a brighter future for the world... @Tom , you want the world to become a greenhouse mess...

Why the planet will die...

got it as emissions per head, too?
What would be the point of that? Are we aiming to reduce CO2 emissions in order to "save the planet from destruction?"
....or to make CO2 emissions equal according to population?

if we want to know who's to do the most, we need to know that. it doesn't mean the chinese and indians are off the hook but per capita the us blows the most dirt and should do something about it right now even more than anyone else.

did you watch the whole video?
Yes I know it's like only 0.75 of the CO2 would get sequestered but it's a start... I want one of those space solutions the shield or bubbles... It would be neat to see massive herds of whales again they were the bison of the oceans... I know the subtraction process for the iron is bad but which demon to chose...

Yes, the whalers of Puget Sound and the Northwest are like the whalers of New England - Nantucket was Wampanoag and they were expert whalers. That's why Ahab's ship was named the Pequot. (Especially after what happened to them!) Starbuck happens to be a well known surname on Nantucket - old whaling family. Same thing with the Northwest tribes but we didn't have Herman Melville to immortalize our family names!

Now a POW.
Why do you dislike her? She has been faithful to her values and wants a better world. Why the disdain? You know they intercepted her ship in international waters. She had not done anything but tell the truth about Israel's ethnic cleansing of GAZA...

She and her group are going to have to watch "Bearing Witness" - a film about the atrocities of October 7.

You like to do false comparison 1700 lives versus 60,000 dead and 80 percent of the building destroyed. Read the opening post of this thread and Israel fired on its own people...
