Let me start by acknowledging that I am a Global Warming agnostic. I do not know that it exists nor that if it exists, it is caused by man-made activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels. Maybe it does exist. Maybe fossil fuels are the cause. Maybe not. What I do know for certain is the leftist, government promoted solutions being put forth such as those in the Green New Deal are not solutions at all. They simply will not work to reduce the overall amount of CO2 in the air, but they are intended to panic the public into accepting command and control communist economies and societies. It would rather drink diesel fuel than accept that fate.
The main cause of excess CO2 in the air is not fossil fuels. Instead it is desertification. When land becomes desert, the carbon in the plants winds up in great measure going into the atmosphere in the form of CO2. As a result, the proper way to overcome putative global warming is to green the deserts, to get plants growing on them, and to conserve the rainwater which falls onto the soil that is otherwise lost by evaporation. Deserts are expanding all around the world, turning countries into food scarce literal shitholes where people can barely eke out a living. Often those starving masses choose to migrate to more prosperous, more humid areas such as Europe and the USA. What if instead of mass migrations that threaten Western civilzation, instead of communist Green New Deals, Paris Climate Accords, and Shove It Down Your Throat Politically Correct Mandates, mankind instead chose a different aproach to solving the "problem" of Global Warming?
The following TED Talk spells out the REAL, practical solution to Global Warming, one which would leave the Earth a much better, more food abundant, healthier place when implemented - even if there is no such thing as Global Warming. Because it does not depend on huge leftist governments to bring about, you will probably never see it in the MSM. Judge for yourself.

No wonder the third world leftist dummies are so excited. All they need now is a BIG MOUTH like dummy AOC and they will somehow win the USA lottery (our wallets).
