On Wednesday, April 28, Senate Democrats, alongside Republican representatives, passed a vote to restore restrictions on the emissions of the climate-warming pollutant, methane.
While this significant step toward combating the climate crisis sparks optimism, I think that national policies alone are insufficient to combat the climate crisis. At a grassroots level, fighting global warming is an individual responsibility that each citizen must undertake, from recycling used batteries to reducing our own carbon emissions. A healthy future for this planet depends on each one of us; it is a team, global effort.
Exactly, it is a global effort, so we should first start with getting the elephant in the global room, China, on board. Until then, anything we do is a drop in the bucket and won’t do a bit of difference in this so-called global warming thing.
CO2 isn’t a pollutant - it’s plant fertilizer that’s pumped into green houses to make plants grow faster. Increased CO2 emission have greened the planet immensely as seen in pictures from space between 1967 and today.
Devout climate believers say we’re in a climate crisis. They base it on the highest and least likely temperature predications from models that are baseless because they can’t predict cloud cover which is the primary determinant of our climate. An experiment by solar physicist at the European Organization for Nuclear Research in 2012 showed how the Sun's magnetic storms controlled cloud cover which controls the earth’s climate.
Lost in the debate is that most CO2 emission have greened the planet immensely as seen in pictures from space between 1967 and today. The planet has always flourished when it was warmer. Millions of people starved to death in Europe during the Little Ice Age 400 years ago. But even in the worst case, the UN has determined that the planet could be inexpensively cooledby spraying pulverized salt into the air over the oceans.
The use of fossil fuel energy will be phased out by private markets as new energy technologies reduce the price of green energy and develop ways to store it efficiently in the absence of sun and wind. The solar/hydrogen cycle looks to be the most promising way to store and produce 24 hour electric power for less than fossil fuel prices.

Hello, Ashley
I agree. We can all do more to improve our world.
Exactly, it is a global effort, so we should first start with getting the elephant in the global room, China, on board. Until then, anything we do is a drop in the bucket and won’t do a bit of difference in this so-called global warming thing.
