"The climate system is an angry beast, and we are poking it."
Dr. Wally Broecker
In regard to federal policies, I fail to see the logic. While I applaud efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, U.S. wars around the planet counter any reduction measures. Wars pump massive amounts of greenhouse gases into the biosphere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DoxBG5zdxg To really reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we should stop funding endless wars & armaments. Taxpayers' dollars should go toward communities’ resiliency and recovery from extreme weather related disasters in order to reduce the risk of civilization’s collapse. Considering what’s happening - atmospheric greenhouse gases continuing to rise; polar ice caps melting; arctic permafrost thawing; oceans becoming more acidic & warming; jet stream & ocean currents in flux; global weather patterns becoming more chaotic & extreme - this seems a more sane use of taxes.

'War Is Not Green': Climate Groups Call On Biden to Support Peace Talks in Ukraine - “We must stop this madness before it's too late!" said climate organizers. "For the sake of future life on this planet, we urge you to initiate peace talks to end this war now.”——“…The groups detailed a number of harmful effects the war has had on the planet in its first 14 months, including the apparent sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, which the United Nations Environment Program said may have caused the largest-ever single leak of methane, the potent greenhouse gas that can trap 87 times more heat than carbon dioxide in its first two decades in the atmosphere…”

In regard to federal policies, I fail to see the logic. While I applaud efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, U.S. wars around the planet counter any reduction measures. Wars pump massive amounts of greenhouse gases into the biosphere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DoxBG5zdxg To really reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we should stop funding endless wars & armaments. Taxpayers' dollars should go toward communities’ resiliency and recovery from extreme weather related disasters in order to reduce the risk of civilization’s collapse. Considering what’s happening - atmospheric greenhouse gases continuing to rise; polar ice caps melting; arctic permafrost thawing; oceans becoming more acidic & warming; jet stream & ocean currents in flux; global weather patterns becoming more chaotic & extreme - this seems a more sane use of taxes.
