The Brainwashing Of My Dad
The truth behind the right-wing media machine that changed a father--and divided the nation

People believe what they believe because they want to believe it. Fox News just parrots what they already believe.
Natural gas requires pipelines. You democrat socialists have a peculiar habit of shutting down pipelines.
According to Greenland ice core data, the Modern Warm Period is no warmer than previous temperature spikes in the late Holocene.
Vostok ice core data indicates all 4 previous brief interglacial periods were warmer than our current one,
Bill seeks to make Louisiana ‘fossil fuel sanctuary’ in bid against Biden’s climate plans
Republicans and Democrats are introducing bills to push against Biden’s new restrictions on oil and gas companies

Perhaps we could adopt this approach to climate change denial

The principles of the harm reduction model can differ, but focus on some core concepts. It accepts that some people will continue harmful behaviors. It aims to build a healthy community without judgment or coercion, providing other health-focused services. It also tries to minimize risky behavior by carefully tailoring messages, and choosing trustworthy messengers to approach each community instead of relying on broad government guidance.
How harm reduction models can save US lives in the pandemic
While harm reduction has largely been used to combat drug abuse and HIV/Aids, it could inform the coming months and how the US tackles future health crises, experts say

Wrong. Check the far right end of the abscissa. You will see -100 years. The HADCRUT3 data was tacked on in red.
The proxy sampling stops at 1950. HADCRUT3 data was tacked on at the right end in red. You did not think that through too well.

OK but at the top it says "Data from Alley, 2000", so it doesn't include the last 21 years.
Pipeline protests are largely focused on oil because there's no such thing as a natural gas flood.
There's a long-term aim to eliminate natural gas pipelines, although that would primarily be by increasing electrification of homes and businesses, and eliminating new natural gas hookups. That would shift more natural gas uses from end-user to generator, and then gradually eliminate the generation by replacing it with renewable generation.
PS I'm a democrat, not a Democrat, and definitely not a socialist, unless you go by the crazy-Libertarian definition of socialism being the government doing anything except security.
Sure, but there is only one ethical way to do so. Poverty reduction. People who live a first world lifestyle have fewer kids by choice, (see Japan, Western Europe and NA). To raise everyone up to a first world lifestyle requires in part increasing the amount of energy available per capita.
Italy for example which has a negative birth rate uses about 5000kwh/year per family. The poorest of the world are well below 1000kwh/year / family. Increasing their quality of living would generate a lot of enivornmental impact unless the improvements were done using mostly renewables.
So to me the best policy would be one of global poverty reduction using renewables and grid storage (short to long term), natural gas (short term only & if it can replace dirtier forms of energy with eventual replacement, and maintaining currently operating 0 carbon power sources (nuclear and hydro).
Oh, my goodness. A proxy study of the last 2,500 years was done in the year A.D 2000. That 21 years makes all the difference in the world! LOL.
Doesn't really mean anything other than the ice core samplings indicate natural climate variation during the past 2,500 years. The previous temperature peaks were just as high or higher that our current Modern Warm Period. Assigning all of the current global warming to humans completely ignores the previous global warming periods of the past. It is apparent to those who examine climate data that CO2 forcing by carbon emissions is exaggerated.
