    North Carolina has never needed to worry about global warming, it’s just a liberal hoax anyway.

    The mountains surely didn’t flood last month, so they should be fine.

        Fair point. I guess this is just me voicing my frustrations on how so many people in the states just don’t really give a shit about things unless they are directly impacted.

    As he campaigned for president in 2020, Joe Biden made a bold promise at a New Hampshire town hall, adding repetition for emphasis: “No more drilling on federal lands. Period. Period. Period. Period.” […] The Biden administration has now outpaced the Trump administration in approving permits for drilling on public lands, and the United States is producing more oil than any country ever has. […] The reality is the United States is already dominant. The country is expected to produce 13.2 million barrels of oil per day on average this year — millions of barrels more than Saudi Arabia or Russia. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/08/16/biden-oil-drilling-production/
