Another fine example why most actors, if they are smart, should stick to acting, and otherwise keep their actor mouths shut.

Argentina's Donald trump, I will very much enjoy following this new development in our hemisphere.

BB: I just want to sue the City for current corruption. I have no idea what you mean about decades old.
I had hoped you had some insights... but at long last we have reached an end.

When I am in a business and the young person at the cash register has trouble figuring out the change, it is clear that the Common Core math they have been teaching is not working to give them an ability to do even simple math. In spite of this, the Beaufort County School Board just bought another Common Core math curriculum, and this one also has "woke" DEI embedded in it as well.

Your points about evaluation are excellent. This needs to be done in all schools. We also need to evaluate the superintendant with measurable standards on academic performance, and principals as well.

And most of all, we need a new school board majority attuned to actually doing something to improve our schools instead of just being sock puppets for the superintendant.

JS, I'm sorry you went down this rabbit hole. Your "internet" research is undeniable. (It's not)
Here is the good news.
You win.
We will not stop burning fossil fuels anytime soon. So have a cold one and relax.
If some of us want to explore alternatives, we will. Make no mistake, we will continue along this path until enough people are negatively effected or we save ourselves with some new technology.
Nothing you say will make the above false or change what I'm telling you.
Have a nice day.

A French senator was also charged with "hate speech" for posting "immigration kills" after an illegal alien migrant brutally murdered a young French girl. The EU is becoming the Fourth Reich with the way it is suppressing free speech. Without free speech, there can be no democracy.

Providing some truth to answer your fictious or irrelevent globalist talking points:
1) Climategate revealed that con men are at the very heart of the climate alarmist "science". Their emails showed they were manipulating data and trying to suppress the presentations of scientists who did not agree with their polemic. Throughout the Earth's history, it has had alternating multi-century cold and warm cycles. The last cold cycle, dubbed the Little Ice Age, ended in the 19th century and Earth has been in a natural warming cycle ever since. Prior to the Little Ice Age was the Medieval Warm Period, when it was warmer than today for several centuries, and there were no bad consequences. The granddaddy of Earth's warm periods was the Holocene Maximum, when it was much warmer than today for three thousand years. This coincided with the Bronze Age of human development and the heyday of ancient Greek civilization. The writings of the ancient Greeks also do not point to any adverse consequences of that warm period, either. Another earlier multi-century warm period coincided with the height of the Roman Empire. Again, no sign of any adverse consequences.
2) Not a single one of the climate alarmist dire predictions that have passed the date by which they were supposed to have happened have come true. All of our beaches disappearing by 2023 is one of the latest to have proven false.
3) You do not seem to recognize the basic science of the Greenhouse effect, or the fact that without it, the Earth would be a very cold and very dead planet, unable to sustain any type of life. CO2 is a very minor greenhouse gas. The most important greenhouse gas is water vapor, which accounts for 90% of the greenhouse effect. Water vapor is impacted by solar radiation. The amount of solar radiation reaching Earth has a lot more to do with climate than CO2.

JS the future is hard to predict. However let’s look at the 3 points you made

1. Con men can be found every where. However the planet, overall, is warming. That’s a measurable fact. We can argue about why but to ignore the emissions from fossil fuels is a likely culprit.
2. Many predictions are coming true. All of them on schedule? No, but we already can point to changes that are indeed occurring.
3. Co2 is a greenhouse gas. Methane is worse. Even Exxon won’t argue that point.

Again I hope you’re right, but I don’t think you are.

One has to be either really gullible, really dense, or gaining some personal advantage from the scam to believe the global warming claptrap.

BB I was hoping you might have local solutions, or at least a way of thinking out of the box. Instead I hear from u that tired old story about "we" get the govt "we" deserve. CAnt you see that "the system" has gone beyond discriminating against black ppl and is now discriminating against all people (except the insiders). The city of Washington is corrupt and therefore, so are its police. As long as we elect ppl who defer to the white city manager, it will continue.
Perhaps you could influence your brothers to stop being puppets for the manager and his hired guard dogs. Paid for by WeThePpl. NO BB we dont deserve a corrupt system. When it comes to the voters, it is NOT a white vs. black thing. We are all victims. WHERE are those PUBLIC RECORDS requested from the HOUSING AUTHORITY??
WHERE ARE THOSE GOPers who claimed they were running for council/mayor to protect WeThePpl?
...Waiting for the next election I guess.
