Don't hear you bitching bout leaded gas ⛽. That was the government involved with that change.roads yes. cars no. fuel no.
Fuel yes. The government gives heavy subsidies to refineries in the form of depreciation tax breaks. Several of the refineries would be processing the crude from the Canadian Tar Sands via the XL pipeline are actually owned by the Saudi’s. So we’re actually saving the Saudi’s money through our taxes. (Though it admittedly does help drive the cost of petroleum goods downwards)roads yes. cars no. fuel no.

They tax electrical generation too. Cool story.then the gov taxes it.
but they dont build gas stations.They tax electrical generation too. Cool story.
They did not have to because the filling stations weren’t replacing any competitive (yet bad for the environment and US energy security) alternatives.but they dont build gas stations.
If it happened in 1000 ad, it would probably be a problem with climate change.
So they’re going to be buying less US coal. Unless coal is going up as a share of their generation portfolio then it doesn’t make a difference where it’s coming from. The real problem will be that our coal mines will try to sell to other emerging 3rd world countries to perpetuate their industry.
Guess you missed this ? Makes sense why they are increasing their coal mining capacity.So they’re going to be buying less US coal.

Some of my estimates were from incomplete data, but should be close enough to not change the point.in 2018 we were exporting our excess oil.
starting in 2018 we exported oil excess oil. this comtinued in 2019.Some of my estimates were from incomplete data, but should be close enough to not change the point.
Our demand/consumption dropped around 12% due to covid. Our production(supply) obviously dropped due to that. It dropped less than 5%. Recovery to previous levels due to increased demand is being delayed by covid related issues of labor and parts shortages, and time.
Our demand is in front of our production. That's due to the aforementioned reasons, more than the small caps by the Biden administration on oil production on federal lands. Those caps if taken off, would not solve the temporary shortage by anything close to 100%.
Quit posting ignorant bs, because you don't understand this.
So literally 4 countries are the problem. Seems addressable if we work with them.Guess you missed this ? Makes sense why they are increasing their coal mining capacity.
China Is Planning 43 New Coal-Fired Power Plants. Can It Still Keep Its Promises to Cut Emissions?
China built three times more new coal power capacity as all other countries in the world combined in 2020.time.com
Smhstarting in 2018 we exported oil excess oil. this comtinued in 2019.
In 2020 we still exported oil in spite of covid and the lock downs.
In 2021 things changed, we had a vaccine, businesses reopened, we opened up but oil production dropped.
in 2021, Biden took office with an agenda on oil. aoc's new green deal. Evan his energy sec stated that she hoped the oil co would go broke. So new regulation were implimented to acomplish their goals.
Now we have an oil crisis, but you cant just turnd the tap back on. How can oil cos take the risk, can banks take the risk and trust that any investment a this time to ease the oil crisis here will not be undermined by this admistration.
We’ve been “working” with them. They literally don’t care as has been proven time and time again. Building multiple new coal fire plants combined with new coal mining is a huge “F U” to the climate advocates.So literally 4 countries are the problem. Seems addressable if we work with them.
Well, it’s something we have to succeed at. Just because we haven’t yet doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Throwing in the towel won’t work.We’ve been “working” with them.

It’s a fairly good indication that the likes of China aren’t going to all of sudden start playing ball. Seeing that they are currently investing hundreds of millions of dollars into new coal fired plants along with coal production. As I’ve said many times, we might want to face the reality of the situation and start diverting money and efforts into best coping with the coming warmingWell, it’s something we have to succeed at. Just because we haven’t yet doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Throwing in the towel won’t work.
It’s more likely that they play ball than we learn to live in a hotter world. And the costs of achieving that alignment will be less in terms of blood and treasure than the effects of a worsening climates.It’s a fairly good indication that the likes of China aren’t going to all of sudden start playing ball.

You did read where China is building 43 new coal fire plants and expanding their coal production … correct. There is zero chance they are spending that kind of money just to shut them down anytime soon. I’ve said for years that China along with most of Asia won’t comply with reducing emissions. They have proven me right every step of the way. We better face reality …and soon.It’s more likely that they play ball than we learn to live in a hotter world.

able to sleep at nightreread the article.... BTW what's the ROI of the defense budget?
Your memory is suspect.i remember the summer of 1980. .

this year isnt even close.
maybe its global cooling
dallas, noaa. follow the science.Your memory is suspect.
11 days off is quite a difference. And we had two sets of consecutive, not one.(20+21) We've never had any more than 22 days of consecutive 100+. I couldn't find the 105+ & 110+ in a 2 or 3 minute google search, but I suspect your memory was off there as well. We're still in July you nunce. The majority of those records was in July and August. We've only made it through not quite 3 weeks of that nearly 9 week period.
I thought you lived in Tulsa in 1980. Did you ever live here? When did your dad teach at TU.dallas, noaa. follow the science.
Oh my God, how obtuse. When the actions of other countries negate most of the work you want to do, it is not an excuse. Let's just bang our head against the wall, regardless of other countries policies. That would accomplish almost as much.Using the actions of other countries as an excuse for doing nothing is just that: making excuses instead of dealing with the problem.
Because they don't have icebergs frozen in the rivers for an eon that are melting. D'oh.if the ocean levels are rising, why aren't rivers and lakes.
so only the ice cap in the water is melting and the ice cap on land isntBecause they don't have icebergs frozen in the rivers for an eon that are melting. D'oh.
Yeah, that 'land' ice cap can definitely reach the Colorado River or Utah's Salt Lake, or Lake Mead, per say.so only the ice cap in the water is melting and the ice cap on land isnt
