Leave RGGI (Reg. Greenhouse Gas Initiative)
 

As a geologist by education, I can tell you with certainty these facts:

  1. We've been keeping track of temperatures for between 100 & 150 years depending on the geographic location.
  2. In 4.6B to 5.2B years (the scientific agreed upon age range of planet earth) our temperatures and CO2 levels have fluctuated wildly before man and the industrial revolution. A few ice ages, and tropical warmth periods prove that in the geologic records. Colorado was once an inland ocean with dinosaurs, fish, and ocean creatures as evidenced by the fossils in the sandstone just west of Denver.
  3. The last 12 months have been the wettest the USA has seen in a long time.  Huge snow packs in both the Rockies and the Sierra Nevada Mountain ranges, as we move into March and April the wettest months.  Too bad all that fresh water wasn't captured in reservoirs or water districts in originating and neighboring states! Instead, environmental groups would rather have it go to the ocean never to benefit mankind.  Of course, no talk from California, Nevada or Arizona about limiting growth, population size or illegal immigration.
  4. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, GLOBAL ELITES AND LIBERAL POLITICIANS THAT ANYTHING YOU DO LOCALLY WILL IMPACT REGIONAL OR GLOBAL TEMPERATURES.
  5. The effects of Mankind are minimal and have been proven wrong, but those messages are being silenced by Big Tech, and the Democrats.
  6. Take a look at the article energy expert Steve Goreham just posted to CFACT.org which lays out the hard numbers which show that where Europeans mandated wind and solar energy, rates skyrocketed.  American states that copied Europe's energy mistakes saw skyrocketing rates as well.
