@danielturner9832 exactly. a couple recent studies published between Dec 2021 and Feb 2022 showed that the global average temp according to NASA satellite data is rising at best 0.13C per decade, meaning by 2100 the global temp will rise a max of 1.0C, and that global warming is occuring at the very lowest end of ALL the computer simulations and models. The other studies showed that even if all the climate alarmists and people magically got their way somehow (banning sales of ICE vehicles by 2030, forcing everyone onto 100% solar and wind, banning cow farts, etc), that by 2100, all that effort, trillions of dollars a year in financial cost and economic devastation, would only reduce the global temps by 0.1C. Basically, no one would even notice the difference. Humans have little to no real net impact on teh climate. But wind turbines present a recycling issue, and disrupt wind and rainfall patterns, and must be replaced every 20yrs. And solar panels need regular cleaning, replacement when damaged, maintenance, and can be unreliable in many regions of the world such as where I live (northern climate and regular cloud coverage). Electric cars have no real viable used car market as replacing batteries costs as much as buying a new car. And it would take 30yrs of building a new nuclear power plant every week to have enough grid energy to charge enough EVs for everyone in teh US to convert over.
All for what? little to no gain.
Greenhouses operate at 1200ppm CO2.
Enclosed spaces such as lecture halls, classrooms, conference rooms etc are typically ~800ppm CO2 when occupied by humans.
Plant death occurs at about 150-180ppm of CO2, resulting in massive planetary extinction level event. World was about 200-220ppm for much of human history.
Higher PPM of CO2 results in faster growth and even NASA studies have acknowledged that eh earth has been regreening itself rapidly in recent decades, faster than any human efforts to plant trees and such, due to higher PPM.
We are currently about 400ppm CO2.
During the largest explosions in biodiversity in earth history (both plant and animal life), the PPM of CO2 was around 1500-4000.
We are supposed to be entering a global ice age period, so a little warming might end up being a good thing.
Global temps haven't really increased much in the last 10yrs.
Heat island effect in data collection results in artificially high temp averages. Recent images of places like Ohio showed no significant temp change in the rural areas, only in the urban areas, but the average temp takes into account every pixel in teh picture frame, and therefore the "average" global temp is raised higher.

@micahwest2793 Most cases involving the defensive use of a firearm only involves brandishing the firearm. Either pulling up a shirt to show the gun in it's holster, or putting one's hand on the grip, etc. up to and including drawing the weapon, and drawing the weapon and pointing it at the assailant. And like the lady in Charleston, a single brandishing of a firearm, or use of a firearm in self defense, can save anywhere from 1 to Tens of lives each time. That lady drew her weapon and fired, and surely saved tens of lives that day. But often times just showing the criminal you're armed is enough to make them abandon their plans and run away. I know people who've done this personally. One guy saved his wife, and she never knew that she had ever been in danger. Guy came out of the store with his wife in the car with guys approaching her from behind (she was between her husband and them, facing him and not them). He saw them and made it clear he had a gun, and they all turned and ran away. She never even saw the guys, even though they had gotten within a few feet of her. And he never told her either (didn't want to freak her out). That's how guns save lives.
Also, most such defensive use of a firearm that doesn't involve the trigger being pulled goes unreported, hence why the FBI uses statistical analysis to estimate how many more lives have been saved than they know about.
