A Fact no one wants you to know.

A Fact no one wants you to know. In 2019 the U.S. emitted 5,180 Million Metric Tons of CO2. That is about 11.4 Trillion Pounds. The United States has 228 Billion Trees, each takes in about 48 pounds of CO2 per year. 11.4 Trillion divided by 228 Billion times 48 is 1.04. That means that Trees in the U.S. take in about 96% of the CO2 produced in the U.S. AND THAT IS JUST TREES!!! How many other plants are there in the Worlds Largest Agricultural Nation.

I not think it a stretch to believe that the reaming 4% of CO2 and great deal more is taken out of the earth atmosphere by all the other plants in the U.S.

So how many realize what this means? The U.S. is not just already carbon neutral but is carbon NEGATIVE, we are talking in the CO2 of other nations!!!

All of my numbers here were from sources I found on the Internet with only a few minutes of searching. I welcome anyone to review and dispute my findings.

I would not dispute these findings. I've been saying for decades that Global Warming/Climate Change is a natural occurrence, and not man-made.

The Malinkovich cycles, ice cores, and tree borings all bear this out. They show that every 900-1000 years, we go through a warming cycle. The data that Climate Change scientists use? It only goes back to 1886. Do you know what happened in 1886? It looks to me like scientists reached a conclusion and found data to support it.

Remember the fuel crisis? 1973. The US government said "We need to depend less on foreign oil." Suddenly, all of our reserves are gone, and the price went from 25 cents to two dollars almost overnight. "Oh, no! We have no oil! We NEED to buy from overseas!" (Same thing with the attack on Ukraine. We lost 3% of the oil we buy, and prices here doubled.) So, the US decided to play the long game. Invent a crisis, and force the nation to switch to electric cars. Soon enough, we won't be using enough oil to buy from foreign countries.

I'm sorry but there's no money in saying this sort of thing.
Scientists need those research dollars and Climate Change scares loosen purse strings.
Media outlets need advertising revenue so they need to have viewers. Scares such as Climate Change and Covid bring in the viewers. Good news does not.

You are one hundred percent correct!

My question is do we really need all the “news” we are fed…especially as there’s nothing we can do about it!

We’re good but not Godlike good!

Agree with all the above!
