I can understand how you, George and others may feel considering China's and India's spike in carbon footprint.

When I look at the PA issues it would be unfair if I did not consider the historical pollution data. The countries like the USA that lead with the industrial revolution for example.

Here is an interesting article to illustrate this point... 6 charts that highlight the carbon impact from 1850 to 2014 are very informative.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:
I would be glad to but I must be careful not to be political, not sure was it not political now a days but I will try. We cut our fossil fuels out, we cut our emissions, we shut our coal burning power plants down, we regulate our Boiler use in every industry and China, India and all the other non conforming countries prosper! They change nothing and even if they do change how would we know? You trust them to tell us? I don't for sure!

Our country was built by hard working deplorable people ( ${#emotions_dlg.icon_smile1}$ ) and now all of a sudden the Elites fly in their private jets and tell us how bad we are destroying the planet. Do I believe in Global warming? NO I believe we need clean drinking water, I believe we need to keep planting trees as we cut them down. I believe we need coal, gas, solar, wind and electric and what ever else we need to stay the most Humane and prosperous FREE nation on the earth.

There are just as many educated people who say Global Warming is a money scheme as there are who say its doomsday. I listened to both sides and make up my own mind not a Group Think as they do. I know if we want wood for houses, steel for bridges, and gas for cars and trucks Solar Panels are not the answer! Will they help sure in small applications but at what cost?

If you or anyone else thinks are Factories will run like they do on Solar, wind or batteries you and them are in for a rude awaking. Take a ride on I-40 between Tennessee and VA and see how many trucks you see carry goods to the market, NOT one runs on electric or wind!

How's that? Big Devil Grin
