And their ridicules regulations is part of the reason why.
If a independent truck driver takes a hauling job here in my state and takes it to california, if his engine in his truck is over a certain age, he can not enter the state. Thus his load has to be shifted over to another truck, increasing cost of shipping. just 1 example, there are many more.
That state is full of fruits and nuts and needs to be on it's own.

Read that as well, climate change is inevitable, the Earth is going though its natural cycle, we are just expediating the change from the pollution we create.

Even if there was no pollution created, the Earth is going to warm & there is nothing anyone can do about that

I hope the people who do large scale firefighting equipment acquisition are smart enough to understand that they can buy previously owned planes, but you never know if there are some smart people running that operation. I hope they aren't MAGA.
Lumber is already a lot more expensive than before, but at least you understand how all these things are connected.

Only minutes ago, I explained to tecsan that to stop providing Ukraine with the weapons to push back the Russians, will not just result in 'maybe a little scuffle', but the complete annexation of Ukraine, a country which is called 'The granary of Europe'. That would result in Russia controlling the largest grain producing area in the world (see below). They can (and surely will) use that as leverage against the rest of the world: "Suck up to us, or you'll starve!".
Russia is blocking what's left of Ukraine's grain export. That causes food shortages and high prices, which are especially damaging to developing countries. Half the countries in the world have joined together to demand from Putin to stop blocking the grain exports from Ukraine.

You see high food prices and just say: "Biden's fault". That's usually where your thinking stops, mainly because your media doesn't talk about ANY OF THIS, either. But, if you are able to understand fires affecting lumber prices, you might be able to progress beyond the mind-numbingly low information and logic level of the right-wing media. That fills me with hope.


"Ukraine has the world's 25% black soil and highly developed agricultural production that accounts for more than 10% of its gross domestic production (GDP) in 2021. Both Ukraine and Russia are large grain exporters, accounting for 40% of the world's grain exports."

I agree but I’m getting old enough that I should step aside so the younger people can have a wack at figuring it out that’s why I get on cats shit she is like 80 it’s time for her to step aside hell at her age she should be having a hard time figuring out what medication she takes I wonder if she accidentally took some of Charlie’s viagra would her tits get hard

There’s no merit to that thought. It’s selfish and contrary to everything your ancestors, in particular, your mom and dad, had in mind for you and yours. Dgraff, you are just trying to show the site what a macho SOB you are. You are just pathetic. And you (not sure if it’s the wife or the hubby) should be ashamed to even give an ounce of credence to such a despicable thought. Then again, it’s a porn site. Who cares, right? 😢😖👿

Interesting, so all 3 of us Ananas2xLekker dgraff & myself are all part of (our generation) the biggest industrial explosion the world has ever seen.

Our parents & to a lesser extent theirs were the start of it, damn Henry Ford developing the production line, its all his fault lol

Our generation can't change a fucking thing, in the past or present, I agree with dgraff, our generation though is still trying to fix it with this renewable energy shit that creates more pollution to create the stuff than burning focal fuels ever did, but gives every one a warm fuzzy feeling in the tummy with the label of renewable energy, lets save the Earth together.

There are to many humans, we breed to much that's the issue its math 101 & no one seems to mention that, oh but that would mean less voters/tax payers, less money & round & around it goes 🤷‍♀️

You can make it at least another 20 years, if you take care of your heart, by minding the fatty acids you take in, eating enough fruit and vegetables and taking some food supplements. That helps you die of old age, instead of heart disease or cancer.

You're right, there is not much that we can do individually, but every bit helps.
You can even save a buck, by investing in solar panels and insulation, if you have the money, and I believe you have.

This is a global effort. The first priority is forcing the 100 companies that emit 70% of the CO2, to reduce their emissions as much as possible. Simultaneously, all countries should transition their electricity generation to renewable energy ASAP. The next priority is electrifying the heat generation of houses and insulating houses way better. Only then do we get to transportation. Hard to electrify large transport should run on bio-fuels. Electrifying cars helps, but it helps more if their electricity renewable. That's probably enough, if we succeed in keeping the forests alive and plant some more trees.
There might be some smart geo-engineering solutions that can help.

The best way to contribute, is to vote for politicians who at least recognize the problem, instead of denying it. Mostly, stop voting for corrupt assholes, who take money from the fossil fuel industry. They are going to kill you, before you die at a respectable age. The local elections and primaries are more important than the presidential elections. The lesser evil is not going to help anyone.

You specifically, can make your garage more electric car friendly.
Most of their owners are loaded, so take advantage of their wallets.
It doesn't help much now, but the demand that first electric cars create,
helps the rest of the people afford electric cars and make them more useful.
