A new report reveals that a handful of wealthy countries, led by the United States, are spending billions on unproven climate technologies, according to the Guardian.

These nations have given nearly $30 billion in subsidies for carbon capture and fossil hydrogen over the past 40 years. The U.S. alone has spent $12 billion in taxpayer money, and dirty fuel giants hope to secure even more in the coming years.


not only are these relative bandaids (rather than sutures), but they don’t even appear to be able to stop the bleeding
Señor Randall is searching the Koch foundation archives for damning evidence of the Demonrat tomfoolery behind this boondoggle as we speak.

His "I told you so" post will be fully supported by a MTG tweet that mentions Jewish space lasers.

False Alarm by Bjorn Lomborg
“we need to recognize the simple point that even if the United States and all the other rich countries manage to make immense cuts in carbon emissions, it will matter little if they do so by themselves. Even if the entire rich world stopped all its CO2 emissions today and never emitted another ton of CO2—it would only reduce global warming by the end of the century by less than 0.8 degrees F. This is because three-quarters of the twenty-first century emissions will come from the rest of the world—especially China, India,Africa, and Latin America.”

My brother was in a hole in the wall bar in Minnesota this weekend waiting for some of us to arrive and within 15 minutes the locals were talking to him about how the Deep State government, aligned with Blackrock, were manipulating the weather in order to drive people out of areas so that they can mine the lithium deposits.

sounds like an interesting bar conversation. those are the kind of conversations that you hope to have when you walk into the bar and belly up. that's awesome.

i think your brother made that up. but it is still awesome nonetheless.

You were in Minnesota? Dude. I would have fired up the smoker and shoveled out the man cave.

they probably recognized he was someone they could have some fun with.

You were not there.
It is currently a conspiracy theory moving around on twitter/reddit.
Believe it or not, there are other lobsters and randys in the world.

in real life, when people talk, my stock response is "i hear you and i respect you." then i turn around and walk away.

it works good.

Well when we showed up there were only 2 seats left at the bar so he either coulda just moved down 2 seats or asked to be seated at a table alone while he waited.

In spite of climate goals and widespread outcry from environmentalists, president Joe Biden's administration has gone ahead and approved the controversial, $8 billion ConocoPhillips Willow oil drilling project in Alaska.

"Allowing the Willow project to proceed would result in double the carbon pollution that all renewable progress on public lands and waters would save by 2030."
