That's not at all what your top comment was getting at and you know it.

So you want to criticize the current system without bringing in a proposal?

You don't have an opinion of a better system?

Wildfires are not because of climate change. They are due to forestry mismanagement. Mainly putting out smaller fires, causing underbrush to build up and fuel massive fires.

I'm essentially asking you what system you are proposing.

That does not include energy outsourced.

While I don't agree with your hyperbole, yes it is an imperfect system, but it is the best system we have.

The global temperature baseline has only increased 1.16~ degrees Celsius since 1880...

Of course it's going to increase as we continue to come out of the last ice age.

It's being blown way out of proportion though to fear-monger.

And don't get me started on Europe and their fake Paris Climate Agreement. They just wanted money from the US. If they were serious they wouldn't have shut down their nuclear reactors and got hooked on Russian gas / Iranian oil. Only the US has reduced emissions while increasing energy output.

Who is "we"? The US has reduced emissions records while increasing energy output for a number of years now.

Europe has increased both, regardless of their rhetoric. China of course has increased both as well with more coal plants being built.

Most of the reduction in the US is thanks to fracking/nat.gas displacing coal. Which a lot of people are against.

Focusing on nuclear could get us a lot farther in displacing fossil fuels with nuclear as the baseline energy source.

Unfortunately most people just want to nag each other or cat-o’-nine-tails themselves or yell doomsday on loop instead of pushing for things that actually matter.
