Honestly, what do you really believe the government can do with regard to climate change? Abuse is the only thing we have control over. Children and old people being assaulted. A throw away attitude of anything from babies to buildings and automobiles to education. There's the obsession that money will fix anything, along with a pervasive opinion that a good character has no valve ---- whatever a person does on their own time is unimportant. I don't hate Democrats, I simply find that lately they are more interested in acquiring votes anyway possible but will stand up for nothing that is encouraging and long lasting.

So, the Republican solution to the climate crisis is to change the subject? Sounds about par for the course.

And the Democratic solution is to ignore reality. The reality is that wildfires, volcanic eruptions on land, and eruptions below the surface of the oceans that are heating the oceans up are the major causes of climate change, nature a big contributor. As for other nations like China, Japan, and India, go preach to them about climate change, they're making the mess. Go look at their industrial cities, can't see your hand in front of your face. Then go talk to Russia about their prolonged war and the burning down of Ukrainian cities and forests, and the gas-guzzling military vehicles that get 4 miles to a gallon and then go through the fields and farmlands, tearing up the landscape. Then go talk to the Iranians who supply rockets to every terror group in the Middle East, thousands fired into the Red Sea at cargo ships, and toward Israel.

Why do you people always put the blame and the burden on America? One more thing, what are you willing to give up in order to stop climate change? Would you give up driving your car or SUV, or flying if you fly? My answer, "probably not." Democrats want others to give up things, and what about you? What's your sacrifice going to be?

"Despite controversy, the scientific consensus is that human activities are the primary cause of contemporary climate change, which is already affecting the environment, human health, and the economy." (Source)

Democrats are listening to the scientists, who disagree with you and the talking heads you trust. If trusting the scientific consensus means "ignoring reality," you'll have to do something more to support that.

The United States is the second-largest emitter of CO2 in the world and the largest per capita. (Source) "Everybody else is doing it," isn't a valid excuse when we're number two, especially when the Chinese justify their pollution by pointing fingers at us. If your upstream neighbor poops in your river, that doesn't justify you pooping on the people downstream of you. At least it doesn't for the Democrats I know.

Because we can do math. Number two, remember?

What does this even mean? Democrats drive and fly more than Republicans? Democrats are the ones supporting the reduction of fossil fuel use in whatever guise. How does that turn into an expectation that others bear the brunt of the sacrifice? That's a textbook non sequitur and as an attempted tu quoque, it's not even true. Little Nipper's solution was to change the subject; yours is, "Look over there!"

If you haven't learned one thing, learn this: the whole charade about climate change is about MONEY$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

So, were your other claims red herrings? Is this one? It's not really a response.

No, my other claims are the facts; the money part is the greed that has overtaken the elite.
