It continues to be a non problem other than we should all support clean air. But mandates are not the way forward. Tech improvement is.

The ones I have seen have been far too conservative.
Okay, work it out with Gates.

In fact, probably the one thing both Gates and Musk agree on is that the threat is at worst, extremely long-term. And it is intuitively obvious we can transition our nation (and China and many others will transition their own nations) to clean sources well before it would have become a serious problem.

IOW, a nothing-burger.

No, but it is a fact that those projections were overstated in terms of the potential for disastrous consequences.

We were never going to have Miami covered with water. Or wildfires caused by climate change. Or people gasping for oxygen in a clouds of deadly CO2.

It is the leftist way to overstate the threats. Just listen to your House and Senate leadership.
