What do you have against FREE ENTERPRISE INNOVATION like the Tesla?
If Ford and GM and Fiat/Chrysler were to go all-electric, think how the Saudi’s would take … wait a minute, is it possible? After all, we just know, since FoxNews tells us, that Dearborn is an Islamist beachhead.
The only real constant is change, and some people adapt better than others. Technologies change, but perceptions lag. There are some audiophiles that hear an immeasurable difference in vacuum tube amplifiers. The internal combustion engine has been refined to a point where improvements are minuscule, while renewables, batteries, and supercapacitors are experiencing breakthrough changes that can undue even protectionist tariffs. For example:
How dumb is it to compare the CO2 levels of an earth many millions of years ago to the present?
Where were the humans? Where were their cities? What and where were their foods?
It is not a question of life on earth surviving (unless there is a runaway greenhouse), because something will survive our global warming. It just may not include a viable human civilization. And most likely will include a civilization that has to deal with scarcities of food, water, and shelter as there will be even more mass migrations of humans than now.
It has been shown that rice has less nutritional value if grown in a higher level of CO2. That means a healthy diet would require more rice to be grown, which probably means more land and water for the rice, and so on. Wheat also has issues with increased CO2. People too blinded by their ideological worldview to actually investigate science do not care about the effects of global warming on people.
It has also been found that the climate of the US is shifting so that the “Great Plains” are moving east. Iowa will become better for growing wheat than for growing corn. All of this is taking place at a rate that is not geologic or even glacial.
The lowest CO2 levels in the ice ages were down to 180ppm more than once. Strangely, flora not ground under by ice or frozen by snow managed to survive. But in fact, your statement was meaningless. Plus at 380-400ppmv, if it starts dropping, we are about at the halfway mark to where the floral segment of the biosphere will begin to stress and start to die off. What halfway mark?

Security issues you know. BTW. Canada is not an enemy. They are or have been our strongest ally.

but most of these foreign cars he wants to tax are made in the US, but most of US cars are mostly made in Canada and Mexico.

^Yep, the level of biological comprehension is in the negative range with these folk.
