Following a below average Jan-March.

On second thought, "During April, the average contiguous U.S. temperature was 48.9°F, 2.2°F below the 20th century average, making it the 13th coldest April on record and the coldest since 1997. Record and near-record cold temperatures stretched from the Northern Plains to the Gulf Coast and Northeast" (from NOAA)

Warmer climate? According to NPR northern cities are preparing for an influx of climate refugees pouring in from southern states.

The “all” refers to the countries not the individual
-
And that is why they all pay to come to the US for higher education
-
There is something to be said for intellectual consistency.

On another thread you said that you lean libertarian. I don’t think you know what “libertarian” means.
-
Don’t you understand that the main driver of out of control education costs is government subsidizes? To paraphrase a wise man, “if you think college is expensive now, just wait until it’s free”

Replace “wages" with “taxes” and rethink
-
Isn’t that an oxymoron?

My point is that there are currently ZERO reasons to attempt the GND or any of it’s horrid offspring. Our ample supply of oil and natural gas ensures economic prosperity at home and geopolitical power abroad and will for the foreseeable future.

In the meantime let’s enjoy our bounty of fossil fuel. With a century+(and counting) of cheap, dependable and efficient traditional energy in the ground we can afford to wait a few decades before we will need to revisit this topic. With the benefit of quantum computing, advanced AI and nuclear fusion it might make more sense at that point. BTW you still seem to think we run out of cheep oil on some “day”. I can assure you that’s not how it works.

But we do so we do.
-
Even more interesting it that the wage gains are greatest for lower income earners.
-
By the guy who cannot spell color. ;-)

My fear is another's aspiration.
-
I agree, unless the party in power is hostile to oil.
-
That is actually good news, we don’t want the economy to overheat. Moderate growth, full employment, real wage growth and low inflation, it doesn’t get any better than that.

New York (CNN Business)The US labor market keeps getting stronger. Employers added 263,000 jobs in April, another surprisingly strong month of hiring. Economists surveyed by Refinitiv expected the economy to add only 185,000 jobs last month. The unemployment rate fell to 3.6%, the lowest level since December 1969. Indications of strength of the labor market could be found throughout the report. The average hourly wage was up 3.2% compared to a year ago, well above the 1.9% rise in prices, meaning real gains in the paychecks of average workers.

What is up with this fetish you and BillV have with equating cigarette smoke with CO2? To compare a known carcinogen with a molecule that is vital for life seems a bit weird, don’t you think?
-
Yes, but on a more serious note, when has CO2 ever been the primary driver of global climate?
-
Obvious global warming is not impacting the US, we are currently experiencing below average temperatures.
-
Bill, I hope you realize that we (the U.S.), could reduce our carbon footprint to ZERO and global CO2 would continue to rise.
-
That IS the point, I don't care if some scientists want to have an esoteric discussion on the potential impact of elevated CO2. I have a BIG problem when the politicians get ahold of it and want to "save the planet" by spending billions and even TRILLIONS of dollars that would be better spent on schools, roads and bridges.
