Humanity isn’t in control of climate. The great big bright thing in the sky that drys the dew is balls deep in mother Earths hot flushes.
Your not going to make a difference to what goes on with the weather so just chill out and forget about the orange man in the northern hemisphere and start paying homage to the great orange man in the sky.
If you merit a concession he may cut you some slack.
With your country it’s all about being like a mid twentieth century secretary. Homage and merit 😉

On topic. The A.M.O.C is running amok

We're coming out of an Ice Age, the climate is supposed to be warming.
How much are people contributing to that? no one really knows, maybe 4%.
CO2 is plant food, and the Earth is currently greener than it has been in hundreds of thousands of years. The more arable land, the more food we can grow for a growing world population.
Additionally, nothing the US does will make any difference while China and India generate more pollution than the rest of the world combined.
Geologists agree Earth has gone through six major global ice ages. The oldest ice age occurred some 2,900–2,780 million years ago. The most recent ice age is the one we are currently experiencing, the late Cainozoic-Quaternary Ice Age, which began around 34 million years ago with the glaciation of Antarctica.

Now do how much co2 is released by volcanic activity.
You squandered your youth learning crap information at a university for smooth brains.
Don’t blame me for your inability to look out the window 👍

Terrance Gerlach’s volcanic CO2 calculation was based on just 7 actively erupting land volcanoes and three actively erupting ocean floor hydrothermal vents (seafloor hot geysers). Utilizing gas emission data from this very limited number of volcanic features, Gerlach estimated that the volume of natural volcanic CO2 emissions is 100 to 150 times less than the volume of man-made CO2 emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and therefore of no consequence.
“To put this calculation process into perspective, the Earth is home to 1,500 land volcanoes and 900,000 seafloor volcanoes/hydrothermal vents. By sampling just an extremely small percent of these volcanic features it is impossible to imagine that the calculation is correct.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee IT"S ALL TRUMP"S FAULT.
Don't be an idiot.
We're coming out of an Ice Age, the climate is supposed to be warming.
The last ice age ended about 11,700 years ago.
Last Glacial Period
53.34 billion tons of CO2 are currently being released into the atmosphere yearly, by the burning of fossil fuels.
....
The greenhouse effect is happening. It is an atmospheric effect. It's not solar activity that is causing temperature rise.

Trump and his sycophants are suggesting that the observed climate change is all BS, and they are trying to sabotage every attempt to delay or stop it, because they will lose money if they were forced to do something about it.
