West Virginia Senators from both parties have blocked lower CO2 for decades - the historic roadblock to US climate policy. Here are the reasons why:

It is possible to get W.V. Senators to vote for lower CO2, but it would require throwing $billions at the state every year to bribe the Senators and, especially, their voters. But that won't work because other states' Senators would want the same bribes, and because those states have far larger populations of voters, the cost of bribery would be far more expensive than in W.V. and, therefore, won't pass.

There is an awfully simple reason why humanity does not advance very fast, even though humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years. This is too crudely stated, but most humans operate on the same level as animals needing carrots and sticks to motivate them. They lack enough imagination or knowledge to be moved by anything else.

While our ancestors have been around for about six million years, the modern form of humans evolved about 200,000 years ago. Civilization as we know it is only about 6,000 years old, and industrialization started in the earnest only in the 1800s. Most humans have not yet imagined the need to dispose of the CO2 from their engines in the same way as they dispose of sewage, another waste that costs $trillions every year to build infrastructure and operate the disposal. Imagine how messy the world would be without sewers. The world is headed for a bigger mess unless it learns how to handle its CO2. But don't expect many people, of either party, to understand and they certainly won't pay unless the world is burning down. They didn't pay for sewers until the world was stinking to high heaven and people were dying by the thousands from disease carried by dirty water.

It's really easy to blame big bad Orange Man for the weather.

But once those Democrat winter bills hit home, Democrats are done.

Any of them being reelected before the first winter bill hits is getting lucky. November 2022 isn't going to be so kind.

Especially since unemployment stopped in September and that eviction moratorium has just about puttered out.

It is laughable that you can't understand the graph showing high prices for gasoline in the 8th year of Bush, a Republican President, who had zero control over prices, the same lack of control as any other President during Peacetime.

USDA Scientist Quits, Claims Trump Administration Tried To Bury His Climate Study

A top climate scientist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture has resigned in protest of what he describes as the Trump administration’s efforts to censor and suppress climate science.

In a Politico article published Monday, Lewis Ziska, a plant physiologist with more than two decades of experience working for USDA’s Agricultural Research Service, said he decided to quit after department officials tried to bury a paper he wrote on how rice is losing nutrients because of rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

I wish these decent people would stop QUITTING. I know, hard, maybe even wrong for me to judge, but it sure seems like a lot of them just walk away.
