    It’s cringe hearing him speak (not Trump bad, but he has his own issues).

    However he’s had a decently, if not surprisingly effective 2+ years despite having almost no majority and with GOP becoming more and more of a clown show.

    I hope you are right but I doubt wind and solar are 30% across the country by 2030. In some states, yes.

    In 2021 about 17% of capacity and 12% of production.

    I read an article that in TX the wind and solar capacity could outgrow the grid’s capability to handle it.

    objectively he has been pretty damn effective. Given where he is now though at 80 it is hard to project what he will look and sound like at 86.

    Also everybody hates inflation so that is hard to overcome.

    Have you actually seen the samples and know for a fact how they show a temperature for a day, a week, a year? Are they still available?

    If not, you remind me of a Christian.

    My heathen logic coming out. I apologize in advance if offended.

    The geological record shows that our current temperatures are nowhere near the hottest temperatures our planet has experienced. For quite a lot of the Earth's history, it has been too warm for polar ice caps.

    We still aren't out of the last ice age. We will know when things are back to normal when Florida is under water again.

    But that would predate humans ... over millions of years, the carbon got sequester a mile underground and earth reached an equilibrium where the plants and animals developed into a whole bunch of diverse ecosystems across the glode. But after only about 100 years of cars and 70 years of air conditioning, we've managed to screw up millions of years of nature's adjustments ...

    They are all extreme right wing nut jobs. Election deniers. Voted to not certify stated on 1-6. Anti-Democracy scum.

    If I had to guess: he’s senile, he lacks intelligence, he’s crooked, and he’s a douche to one of his grandkids. Those are just off the top of my head. And yes I realize 2 and 3 describe 75% of Washington.

    So their vote is merely perfunctory? News to me.

    Devastating!

    Bring on the clowns!

    Jim Jordan and his GOP committee members should arrive for their hearings in a little miniature car and emerge therefrom to the amazement of children of all ages.

    Kamala urges Biden to ride his bike as often as possible. And he thanks her for desiring so much to see him stay in shape.

    The number of people on line calling Kennedy and Bannon Patriots seems relevant. Propaganda, nonstop over decades, has created QLowns. Folks have way too much time on their hands.

    There was no basis for their votes to reject electors except to try to overturn an election won fairly by Joe Biden. There was no dispute in the states as to who won or irregularity in the electors sent. They were simply part of the larger coup conspiracy. 2024 will be interesting because the House is majority GOP. Illegally, of course, as we see now that the gerrymandering rulings are coming out of New York, Alabama and Louisiana. And perhaps soon in Florida considering the map was redrawn to exclude African American representation. But that’s an aside. Now, after Biden beats Trump, all the House has to to is hold serve among Republicans and reject Biden electors and we have a major constitutional crises. And the precedent is there among the creeps you asked about. But we do see form your comments that you envision a country where the Hose or Senate reject the votes of the people.

    so, to be clear, you believe their vote was perfunctory. Correct?

    So, these ice core sample give us the ambient temperature from thousands of years ago? So from that we can claim this is the hottest year ever? or just on record? when was the record started?
