Thanks @Mike83, While I am not a huge fan of Rahm Emanuel, I strongly support his action relative to Chicago meeting the goals of the Paris Accord. I hope all the progressive states also follow suite and show the rest that we intend to take action on climate change despite our worthless POTUS and cabinet.
Great article on China, thanks for sharing. Sad that Drumpf has ceded lead to China on this issue. Missed economic opportunities. Coal and fossil fuel extraction are loser efforts.
Yep as expected China will get the billions in the world market whilst the coal and fossil fuel owners get tax credits and America becomes poor and polluted.
Keep your stinking politics out of scientific discussions. I'm a republican and I have solar since 2010 and got a Tesla in 2012. The disgusting attitude of better than thou progressives got Trump elected. You morons are not willing to allow freedom of speech or thought and want to shut down anyone who has a difference of opinion. The media is complicit with your agenda and are making your position worse with anyone who wants an open and thoughtful discussion. I don't want to be abused any more so will not be returning to this forum.
@RanjitC. You have just exercised your freedom to speak. It seems like Trump is the one who overrules science with politics. So I guess Tillerson knows better who the moron is. Thank you for supporting the environment with your Tesla and solar panels even though your leader is not very supportive of the environment. Humanity appreciates you efforts. Now don't be late for the Richard Spencer rally.
This should be educational as Climate Disruption and solutions need not be political but the rabble rousers want to divide Americans for their own greed and/or some ideological misconceptions.
Here is a Republican who takes action.
Distributed power generation and storage is naturally anti-capitalist. This distribution of wealth to the people, is causing massive unintended consequences and unmooring from normative behaviors.

These numbers correspond to the Keeling readings of record 410 ppm CO2.
Very dangerous with damages coming much sooner than conservative scientists modeled.
The averages(250 to 289) for the last 800,000 years are much lower than the shocking numbers today of over 2400
I don't see how anyone can argue with the real data except politicians who don't use data.
