These people do not give a damn about the environment. 

Carbon Offests...

Is this evidence that we should not be concerned with the environment?  Would it be better if he rode horse back?

Those are the only two options available in this day and age.

Flying solo in your own private jet. OR.... riding a horse.

 

 

 

 

But if you're being serious.... yeah a horse is better. 🤷‍♂️

Ummmm what are you talking about? When did I say he was a threat to America? Seriously.........

I said he really is not concerned about the environment.

I'm no huge John Kerry fan, but I don't think he is disingenuous about his views on the climate.  Are all of his proposals feasible?  No.  However, it has nothing to do with a swift boat or whatever meme someone wants to throw out there.  He and his wife are wealthy beyond anything most can imagine. I can give them credit for doing some good with that wealth, instead of simply hoarding more.  I feel the same way about the Romneys.

No, but people that continue to use private jets when there are literally 1000 commercial flights available are definitely a threat.

WTG the poster found someone famous that is a hipocrit! 

FYI....We're all hipocrites.

Folks...We have much bigger problems in our country than identifying someone is a hipocrit. We need to pull together, democrat, republican or independent, and expect more from our government.

And now Biden wants to ban normal light bulbs, even to the point of stopping stores for selling  them. Way to go Joe that's a huge step in our decreasing our pollution. I can't wait to see what's next

I'm confused. Are you saying LED light bulbs are or are not normal type light bulbs?

Exactly.  We must restore the government of the people. 

Campaign finance reform, end to paid lobbying, fair tax structure, reduce government outsourcing.

It is as I said. Biden is dealing with light bulbs instead of real problems.

It was initiated under Bush. It will save significant money, lessen demand on the power grid, and lessen green house glasses and pollution— those aren’t problems? And it’s not like this is consuming his calendar.

I certainly think he is disingenuous on his views of the climate. He is another typical "do as I say and not as I do" politician. He only got rid of his family's private jet because of the backlash. Claiming that he is offsetting by buying carbon credits is laughable too. 

He attached himself to this cause like many of the other celebrities because it makes them feel good and most importantly.........they can financially benefit from it. If you want to claim you are trying to save the climate....don't show up to the conference in your private jets.

When/if money is out of government/politics,,, the debt will decline.  We spend more on welfare for the wealthy than those in need.

We also need to end the privatization of government functions.  This version of "small government" is nothing more than a patronage scheme.  All it has done is drive the cost of government higher and higher.

That's not true. In the past, lighting was a huge percentage of overall energy use. It has obviously improved, but It's still quite significant. Most people think about households in this regard, where adoption of new technologies tends to lag because of cost, but in industrial and particularly commercial sectors the reduction has been significant. I ran a brief search to try and find some charts to give an idea, but couldn't find much to show this specifically. Main one I found showed that between 2003 and 2013, the percentage of energy use in the commercial sector that went to lighting fell from 38% to 17%. That's enormous, particularly in a 10-year stretch.

I don't understand railing against improvements like this. In one breath you'll slam those that oppose increasing fossil fuel development, but in the next you do the same when they try to reduce energy consumption, so that perhaps that drilling won't be needed.
