The most reliable measurement of surface temperature in the US is done by the USCRN (the US Climate Reference Network). Even as atmospheric CO2 has increased since 2004, it found no discernible trend with respect to average tempertures in the 48 contiguous states.

Other studies do showing average rising temperatures in urban areas where US produce heat actually has raised the temperature... but that is not "climate change", that is temperature change unrelated to atmospheric CO2.

As technology continues to find ways to produce renewable energy including carbon fuels more cost efficiently, the world will naturally transition to these energy options when they make sense. Who opposes cheap energy?

The enviromental waste of having to store 12 hours of power in batteries which have limited lifetimes makes relying on solar energy perhaps one of the worse environmental decisions we could possibly pursue... but no one wants to talk about that... we don't talk about "Bruno"...

Karl Marx once argued that global environmental crises are an important way to get the wealthy and middle class to give up their freedom and liberty to the government. Seems he was right.
