"CO2 levels are likely to be lower by the end of the century" This is not well supported by any evidence that I'm aware of. These are scientific papers, they couch things in conservative wording. The fact that these papers ex

The administration has done nothing but be loudly and proudly racist and ant-science. It mades all the sense in the world. It is terrible, but it makes sense. They have brought incalculable shame and future suffering on the US.
