Why should the U.S. phase out fossil fuels when other countries are building coal-fired plants?

Guess the NYT dumbos have not yet read NASA’s latest output concerning a possible global cooling due to ...wait....THE SUN.

Those of us who are STEM types have know about this for some time now, but then again, journalists - you know.

So according to the NYTs it would be better for people to die of exposure and starve to death rather than face the mythical globull warming, right?

I have a solution:

Since the greenies over there want no nukes, and no coal plants (to save the environment, of course), chain all the environmentalists to bicycles for pedal power. Note that it may get a little harder to pedal during peak period. Load up on carbs before the morning rush.

The NYT and other Fake News outlets will never, never, NEVER be talked out of their Gorebull Warming Cult beliefs, even when it starts snowing in Miami.

It probably is, since many liberal global elitists want to reduce the world’s population to 500 million. I wonder if any of them would like to volunteer to off themselves for the cause?

There are no climate risks. Coal can be burned more cleanly than ever.

Coal is good! Wish we had built that plant a few years ago and that the Greenies didn’t stop it. Yucca Mountain was going to be a big fat cow the entire country could have used. They ruined that too.

They don’t care about other countries, but they want us to be thrown back into the stone age.

Until we elect enough dems to outlaw exports.

I think the ozzies are the main source.

Apparently they import about 99% of coal...:^)

Atmospheric CO2 is tiny compared to many previous eras.

Image result for prehistoric co2"

During those times life exploded. Forests and jungles covered the planet, animals thrived, and even insects grew to the size of dogs and cats. Carbon is the basis of life, not a pollutant. Maybe a little too much has been locked underground.

"Together the 22 power plants would emit almost as much carbon dioxide annually as all the passenger cars sold each year in the United States. "

How is China doing with putting out their coal seam fires [a significant source of CO2 (and likely CO)]?

"They are monstrous, centuries-old infernos that issue thick billows of ash and smoke, and generate sinkholes that consume roads and homes without warning. Yet in spite of the dangers they pose, underground coal fires are some of the least known environmental disasters. China, the world’s largest miner and consumer of coal, has consistently downplayed the fires in its coalfields, considered the most severe on earth."

Well I want to know why NASA is wasting time studying the sun when they are supposed to be doing Muslim outreach.
