Baron, you haven't a clue as to what Climate Change is all about...nor, it seems, have you made any
effort to learn...I guess it frees your mind to pen such nonsense...so, just to give you a start...ponder the implications of this chart...note that all the recent Ice Ages...and retreats...occurred within the 180-300 ppm band...we're at 416 ppm and CLIMBING every year, with no chance of stopping w/o ending the burning of Fossil Fuels...
Be the science based person you purport to be...
Disheartening you believe humans are to blame and frustrating you welcome the pain
Everyone is now feeling.
Thanks for chiming in...what does that chart tell you?...do you comprehend what it means to all of
humankind moving forward?
I’ve been consistent in saying I don’t believe humans are to blame if there is climate change. I’ve
Also been consistent in saying that if there is indeed human caused climate change we should be spending time and money learning to live with it not trying to stop it. the earth is a big place and the USA and Europe can’t be the only countries who reduce emissions.
"I don’t believe humans are to blame"....."if there is indeed human caused climate change..."...
You need to get off that fence and made a decision...the data in that chart is as accurate as is humanly possible...especially the most recent measurements which literally no one disputes. We are headed deeper and deeper into an environmental regime that this planet hasn't seen for 800,000 years...numerous Ice Ages came and went when CO2 concentrations varied from 180 - 300 ppm...we're climbing through the 416 ppm mark with no end in sight...in a relative 'millisecond' historically.
As I've also mentioned, our Fossil Fuels are vital for all sorts of uses beyond just burning them for heat and power...yet they are truly "Finite" and will not last for hundreds of years. We have alternatives now...we need to transition in earnest to Nuclear Power and Renewables...ASAP...and acknowledge that the process will take a couple of decades, at best, to complete.
Here is a more reasoned view of what's happened...and what's likely to happen wrt prices...
For those anxious to get to the crux of the matter...these are the final comments (but do yourself a favor and read the whole article)..
-------------------
What's the fix?
The best things governments can do, says Donovan, is nothing. "In as much as governments really can't change the oil price, central bankers can't suddenly change the price of wheat and other commodities."
Part of the pricing inflation story is already naturally coming down, and other factors like the impact of the Ukraine war on food and fuel prices are beyond the scope of influence from most governments, he adds.
However, it's a different question when it comes to whether government should try and mitigate the consequences of higher inflation. "There, there are things they can do. They can either look at benefits that are being paid to try and help people for higher prices, or where something is being taxed."
Oil, for example, is often taxed, so some governments may feel they could temporarily lower the tax on it, or reduce sales taxes on other products to try and make life a little bit more affordable. So there are things that governments can do to mitigate the impact in the cost of living in the short term, even if they can't change oil supply and demand.
"If we're talking over the next 10 years, then yes, of course governments can encourage investment in renewable energy and so on. But in the short term, there is a limit to what governments can do to offset price increases."
-------------------
This is a global problem...added to another problem...i.e., Climate Change...which sooner or later a 'Critical Mass' of this planet's people need to understand and join together on implementing solutions.

And too much redistribution of wealth

It’s supply and demand and rules and regs limit supply.

Wait a minute, I have been told several times that Joe doesn't want higher prices.
By a professor. An actual goshdarn professor.
He was for it before he was against it.

But you have to remember presidents words matter, except when they don't.
That's the key point in all this.
Joe doesn’t really mean what he said. I’m sure his UHND translator will be here to
Walk back his comments. The real question is will he do it before the White House?

Wait, we’re told that Joe doesn’t want all these high prices. Comments like this say

But this is part of the fundamental transformation that Obama promised.
Along with open borders, defunded police, sexual perversion tolerance, higher regulations and taxes, appeasing Iran and censorship on the internet. Did I forget something on the Progressive agenda list?
Barry will be pissed if it turns out THIS is the moment the seas begin to recede.
