No offense, but then “happening” would have been more appropriate. The other commenter is correct about “happened” being past tense as in… it’s over. Or you could have used “has happened” which leaves a bit of room for future violence. But this is pedantry at it’s best - you’re intent having been acknowledged. :)
Vastly overestimate? You mean against their self-reported and self-serving emissions monitoring numbers? What a crock. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2oL4SFwkkw has a very well researched (and entertaining for this sort of topic) video. You show us all this “legitimate proof” of actual real-world emissions and we’ll see who funded it and when. Oh, and it better be current because we have satellite emissions tracking of the entire world which show JUST how full of shit industry numbers have been. Methane is 80x worse as a greeenhouse case than carbon dioxide. We’re leaking it globally at MASSIVE rates. We should be making it so expensive to have emissions that every petro company on the planet seals those leaks. At least when it’s burnt it’s mostly CO or CO2 and H20 emissions.
Go ahead - let’s see who is defining the “real-world data” estimates, who funds that research, and maybe then I’ll consider believing the “softening” paragraph at the end that this is somehow just a thoughtless over-reach because the current administration couldn’t afford to wait. This isn;'t government overreach, this is a planet dying from greenhouse effects and in the midst of the anthropocene extinction (i.e. human activity killing species all over). If we don’t curtail the petro industry, then WE. ARE. FUCKED.
Except you did reply to this. With ad hominem attacks of being emotional and annoying. Instead of with any kind of counter argument. All supposedly because I used some caps for emphasis. lol
Show us the facts - I don’t care about opinions (including my own). But… here’s some info for you. Perhaps I can change your position…
No? Still think regulating this is an overreach? I’m not even saying we can magically get to net-zero carbon immediately. I use NG for heat and gasoline in my vehicle. I’m no hypocrite - I am making investments in efficiency and will eventually be all electric with a large solar setup. This takes time and money and not everyone can do that. Oil and Gas have their place in the transition to renewable power.
We must regulate an industry that we continue to prop up with 100s of billions in subsidies and which get super special treatment by our lawmakers due to outsized lobbying and coushy jobs waiting in the wings for enablers after leaving government. On its face, the regulation proposed looks to correct for decades of (self) under-reported emissions. They’re being asked to play fairly. But listen, if you can show where those regulations are “poorly designed” I’ll most certainly read it if it comes from a neutral 3rd party who isn’t paid by the NG companies or their lobbying proxies. Like I said above, the climate town video actually does a great job explaining - certainly better than I have. So there - is it that you won’t respond or that you can’t?
I am a Palestinian American in Pennsylvania, a contested state. I plan to write in “uncommitted” in the Democratic primary on 23 April and in November, I will vote for a third-party candidate....
Exactly - so people like Ahmed Moor are either not voting for Biden or voting for Trump, when those two are equivalent. The same Trump who encouraged Israel to “finish the job”. He’d be thrilled to glass Palestine.
I keep seeing this same messaging and can only conclude Russian influence to put out this message as wide and frequently as possible. If you are brown or you are muslim or an immigrant and not a White CIS man, Trump HATES you. He thinks you are scum. You might disagree with Biden, you might think he should cut off Israel, and you might think not enough is being done to earn your vote, but your only reasonable alternative, Trump, is demonstrably worse FOR THE SAME REASONS YOU ARE WITHOLDING YOUR VOTE FROM BIDEN.

There is no way on earth that budget passes while Biden is President. But look for it to come back with vengeance if Biden loses.
Millenials (and maybe some younger GenX) will almost certainly be fucked. They will not touch any precious retirees because they know their voter base: “fuck the planet, fuck the youth, I got mine”
