What I feel is the case ( I appreciate being convinced that my understanding is wrong) is pollution . The creeks and draws near where I grew up used to have potable water and now are obviously polluted. Ground water everywhere in the USA has traces of glyphosate and other ag chemicals. 80,000 + chemicals are dumped into the air water and soil every day. These are chemicals open public science has no idea how they behave.

Kinda like gene therapy injectables. No one knows what is in them and because they are proprietary they cannot be openly studied. So this big hoot called carbon is pure fraud. Done to distract us from what is really a serious problem.

About carbon. If there is an increase in CO2 it is because of the denuding of the Earth. Forest are being destroyed (Certainly here in Calif compared to my childhood). Amazon and Congo river basin forests are being clear cut as well as South East Asia and the Pacific Northwest. And big ag keeps vast tracks of land tilled not to mention the destruction of soil bacteria the the pollution of ground water. So if there is a carbon increase this is the cause. Why? Nature is green because green trees, grass, brush, tundra all (when healthy) use and freely sequester enormous amounts of carbon.

So if I got this wrong I look forward to clearing up my cloudy mind and eyes that have seen the changes to the water ways of my childhood.

My personal observations as well in my natural surroundings. If one is a nature oriented person the effects of industrial pollution and deforestation have created an imbalance. Industry always spins the news to blame the consumer. Wanting the public to assume sole responsibility and also pay while industry does little to change their egregious pollution.

I agree and add a point. Industry want and will see to it that the public i.e. the consumer is blamed for it. Industry will then create a new company to clean up said environmental problem profiting from it as always.

I hope this time we have learned and therefore we Jail the CEO of the companies and we collect from the stock holders (preferable directly from Vanguard and Black Rock). I am not a lawyer. We need a good team of lawyers to nail this down tight such that those who profited are also those who make it right for all of nature.
