    This is the thing with right wing talking points, they draw a connection between the main issue and one singular point that contributes to it. Then they talk incessantly about that one point while ignoring everything else that causes it  Oh btw, the one point just happens to allow them to scapegoat "the other"TM for the whole issue.

    This is exactly what you’re doing. Down to a tee.

    You draw a connection between coal (“majority source”) and carbon. Then you talk incessantly about coal as if that’s the only cause. You give a cursory head nod to oil, and then right back to coal (the one singular point). Right back to ignoring CARBON (the actual issue). All so that you can scapegoat China (the other).

    You forgot India this time, because when you see it’s #125 on the list it’s ridiculous to blame them. What else, you continue to ignore per capita CARBON, see previous link.

    You’ve proven you’re just regurgitating Fox points. Ciao.

      You’re so wrapped up in politics you’re not listening to what I’m saying or why I’m saying it. My opinions have nothing to do with left or right wing, they have to do with my direct experience in the field over the last decade. I’ve been in/worked coal,trash, gas and cogen plants. If the USA was building a new coal plant in my area I’d be on the line protesting it. I’ll say again, the US has dedicated more resources to renewables than any other country aside from China. Saying new coal plants shouldnt be built doesnt make me republican… China plans to use coal as a primary source until 2060. You can dislike fox all you want, I do too but it has nothing to do with my views.

        No I’m wrapped up in reality: carbon.

        Ok I really have to peace out of this. Just like the other guy who talked to you said: you aren’t absorbing anything.
