... many luls, good times
so you think USA should invade the sun?
as the old saying goes, why invade the cow when you get the milk for free
Climate change factoid: 115,000 years ago, a large part of North America, encompassing what is known today as Canada and the US, was covered by a glacier.
Fucking cavemen and their fossil fuels.

A-listers flock to Google summit in private jets, mega yachts to talk climate change

Yes, we need to blame Leonardo Dicaprio and Katy Perry for all global warming/climate change.
A complete BULLSHIT hit piece about climate change but what you would expect from the New York Post and a TV show like Fox News.
Maybe they should compare the climate emissions of celebrities to companies that donate money to Trump and the Republican party?
Fuck You BULLSHIT fake news media.
The sun is going to burn us like cockroaches at a pick nick as the ozone layer is deteriorating more and more. Ice shelves melting to the point that land will be washed away. Better wake up soon.
I've always done my part to cool the earth off by blasting my A/C with the windows open. Don't be selfish, let some of that cool fresh air out into the atmosphere for everybody to enjoy.
You want to know a REAL threat? Global Cooling. Crops die and water freezes. If we get a sunspot on the right portion of the sun we are in trouble. No folks, we need to heat up the planet, get it nice and toasty. Things grow in heat and yeah South Florida might sink but in 200 years Greenland will be a paradise, bunch of ocean front property and hotels.
Earth is like life, it burns out over time. We aren't stopping that, just accept it.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

The ozone layer’s status today
Recognition of the harmful effects of CFCs and other ozone-depleting substances led to the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer in 1987, a landmark agreement to phase out those substances that has been ratified by all 197 UN member countries. Without the pact, the U.S. would have seen an additional 280 million cases of skin cancer, 1.5 million skin cancer deaths, and 45 million cataracts—and the world would be at least 25 percent hotter.
The world is not yet in the clear when it comes to harmful gases from coolants. Some hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), transitional substitutes that are less damaging but still harmful to ozone, are still in use. Developing countries need funding from the Montreal Protocol's Multilateral Fund to eliminate the most widely used of these, the refrigerant R-22. The next generation of coolants, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), do not deplete ozone, but they are powerful greenhouse gases that trap heat, contributing to climate change.
Though HFCs represent a small fraction of emissions compared with carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, their planet-warming effect prompted an addition to the Montreal Protocol, the Kigali Amendment, in 2016. The amendment, which came into force in January 2019, aims to slash the use of HFCs by more than 80 percent over the next three decades. In the meantime, companies and scientists are working on climate-friendly alternatives, including new coolants and technologies that reduce or eliminate dependence on chemicals.
