Biden's high gas prices and war on fossil fuels proves president is cold, cruel and callous

Putting that MBA to good use.

High gas prices aren't good. What a revelation.

That is exactly what you voted for. That is why you have supported the Progressive policies to trash the economy, destroy the Constitution and end the American Dream.

Suddenly government intervention is all the rage...and I do mean RAGE in Red's head.

Stay away from grade schools with your anger issues.

WEAK

You are the Socialist/Communist that seeks total dictatorship from cradle to grave.

For one time in your life, why don?t you man up and admit your real idenity.

High prices at the pump got ya down? Go see Topgun 2 and relive that Navy time in the rumble seat.

See for yourselves. The nation is still suffering from the steep shutdown in petroleum production orchestrated by the Trump administration in his last year in office.

Vernon when you try to ding Biden and the argument backfires on you, then you're effectively saying Biden is doing a good job.

Is that what you want to say? If not, then come up with better arguments.

Not Trump as I seem to recall first thing Biden did was shut down the pipe line!

The numbers don't lie. Vernon is a petroleum guy, right? In theory he knows exactly what's going on with that industry. Yet here he is blaming Biden like the common OAN viewer.

That pipeline has nothing to do with US oil production. Get your facts straight.

In a speech Biden told us we're going through an incredible transition away from fossil fuels, but "God willing" when it's over (meaning manipulated high prices) we will be stronger.

What is "when it's over"? When everyone buys a Tesla? Then power miraculously comes from a little metal stand on a slab of concrete, and fossil fuels are a a distant memory.

Fossil fuel. It's a misnomer. But it rolls off the tongue easy.
It's mostly two or more celled invertebrates (well, yeah, it's only two cells) fuel. Some dinosaurs got squeezed out too. Sinclair represented that. Hey, where did coal come from?
It's kind of a squishy planet in places.

The oil is there. It's been there all this time. What changed? We started to use it. We didn't use it wisely early on. Folks have died from inhalation of smoke, smog, residue. It is better these days except it's a constant problem of keeping up with tech that can make the smoke go away and the number of people who are using it. I'm rooting for the oil. But it is going to get modified. Nothing stays the same. Gawd, I hate change.

A V8 driver should welcome less immediate competition for gasoline from motorists who have switched to hybrids and EVs. More gas for them.

The shift away from petroleum is inevitable. So are, I am told, changes in climate. And yet one is looked on with dread, and the other with a shrug. We have substitutes for gas powered cars. But we don't have a backup climate if this one goes to hell.

Libs have to get around too, if someone is projecting their fears of gun confiscation onto car keys.

Gaseous carbon, in the atmosphere, is an infrared absorber. This means it traps in the atmosphere the IR normally given off at night as things cool. Instead of going back out into space like in the before times, it heats the atmosphere. You live in the desert so you know all about nighttime cooling.

Normally plant biology scavenges that carbon from the atmosphere and puts it use making sugars, cellulose. But we're extracting carbon from the ground and putting it into the atmosphere faster than biology can keep up.

Now with no carbon in the atmosphere, the earth would be an ice ball. So *some* atmospheric carbon makes life possible. But the flip side of this is that atmospheric carbon is a climate regulator. Screw with that regulator, and you screw with the climate.

Now some will say that carbon levels have been all over the scale in Earth's history. Maybe so, but we're alive *now*. We're trying to have a civilization *now*. And that civilization was build around a climate with about 250 ppm of CO2, not the 400+ ppm and rising we have now. Does that matter? There are 9 billion people on this planet all wanting more or less the same products to live on. And look at what a virus has done to disrupt things. Now tell me climate changes can't do the same.
