Paris Agreement

Today on the news Dr. Fouci and President Biden both said we should follow the science and that was music to my ears. Signing onto the Paris Agreement means the US will be sending $3 billion dollars per year to other countries to combat global warming. This means many bureaucrats around the world will be fighting to get their hands on the great American greenbacks. If we follow the science, the US should be sending natural gas to countries around the world, in particular to Asia, as this will do more to help the climate than money will do but it will not be easy to convert gas to money, to line pockets of those anxiously awaiting the arrival of the big bucks. The US leads the world in fighting climate change. US emissions are now down almost 1 Gt from their peak in the year 2000, the largest absolute decline by any country over that period. A 15% reduction in the use of coal for power generation underpinned the decline in overall US emissions in 2019.Feb 11, 2020 While this was going on: Since 2000, the world has doubled its coal-fired power capacity to around 2,045 gigawatts (GW) after explosive growth in China and India The science is clear. Changing coal fired power plants to natural gas helps fight global warming. Many of the heavy metals released in the mining and burning of coal are environmentally and biologically toxic elements, such as lead, mercury, nickel, tin, cadmium, antimony, and arsenic, as well as radio isotopes of thorium and strontium. In addition burning coal emits large quantities of sulfuric and nitric acid the fore runners of acid rain. Power plants release the majority of sulfur dioxide and much of the nitrogen oxides when they burn fossil fuels, such as coal. That my friends is science.
