So your sources are phony left-wing ideological hacks who present evidence selectively and make phony, delusional predictions of a dystopian future in order get funding for their governments or themselves.  And like every other activist, you completely ignored the two points about war and technology, both of which destroy the climate activists' arguments.

My sources are those controversial ones, like NOAA, NASA and the IPCC. I know you consider practicing scientists hacks, but there it is. As far as war is concerned, if we build our lives around living through the next major war, we'll stagnate and die. No thanks! Technology, on the other hand, tends to be beneficial and problematic, as it always has. The Luddites had a point, just not a very compelling one. In no way does any of the technology you listed have any direct impact on climate, unless it's created and focused on making things better.

pursuing new coal-fired power plants.  Even if everything you say were right, it would make no difference in carbon emissions.  So if you really believe all the crap that you're referencing, then just lean back and enjoy your last 11 years on earth, because nothing is going to stop you from turning into a charred piece of flesh.

Citing China is a joke. If any country is buying into renewable energy and electric cars, its China. Maybe you need to read some literature outside your limited domain. Try reading Automobile magazine, for one of many examples outside the realm of politics. They have no axe to grind, but they know that, within the transport sphere, the US is headed to oblivion pursuing old tech, when China and most of Europe are heading full sail into the future. China plans to dominate solar (they're the leaders a the moment), battery technology (they have the most lithium deposits, so it's a natural for them) and advanced computing, among many other future technologies. They aren't Russia and certainly not the Soviets. Pretending they are is the huge risk of the 21st century.
