I think people need to stop reading internet blogs.

I didn't say climatologists.

I said climate alarmists.

The climatologists, the ones that know what they are talking about, are very concerned, that's what matters.

would the emergence of cleaner/alternative energy production and funding continual studies not indicate the US is taking climate fluctuations seriously....

however, Pelosi and many others are trying to turn economic stability inside out with proposals like this......

that's what matters....

To some extent. But if you have people like Ted Cruz trying to reduce the amount of NASA's budget spent on studying the Earth - e.g. satellites to measure things and tell us what is actually happening on Earth, it tends to make me think that some would prefer to live in blissful ignorance. Also, some climatologists have said that at least for a while they had to run their datasets past higher-ups that were political appointees, not scientists, before they could even be released on the internet. And if you have people like Trump trying to revive coal production even though in some cases it isn't even that economical anymore compared to natural gas which is in any case, not as bad as coal regarding release of CO2, that also makes me think we don't really care about it.

let's not forget the other contributors to the human equation....see post #5 and the following link....the US is only a 15% global contributor

if what you describe is true about NASA, I am not in favor of reducing the budget that limits the studies of our planet....that I find surprising...

however, I'm adamantly opposed to this political horsecrap tax Pelosi has presented....

that's the real issue as defined by the OP.....
