The ban on gas stoves is a policy of the people RFK is running against and has nothing to do with the environment. Whatever “mandates” there have been for smaller cars have clearly been for virtue signalling. SUVs are among the most popular cars on the roads, truck abound, and a car I purchased this year which is advertised as one of the smaller cars on the market has an absolute fit every time I pull it out of my one-car garage. 🙂

An emotional thinker could never win the court cases he has won, or give the testimony he gave during the onslaught at the recent Congressional committee hearing. The humility and human decency/emotional intelligence you advocate may be mistaken for emotional thinking, but that’s a mistake. RFK Jr is a master at anchoring in his frontal lobe which operates synergistically with his emotional intelligence.

His success during his long career indicates that he’s a very wise decision-maker.

The evidence from his life experiences have shown him that there has been far too much destruction of the earth’s natural habitats and resources, including forests that sequester CO2. Like many others, he has mistakenly bought into the claim that the lower CO2 sequestering is causing the rise in the atmospheric temperature. He’s correct that the destruction of habitats, which leads to desertification, is a serious threat to our longterm survival (see Dave Foreman’s Rewilding North America).

Let’s see what RFKs solutions are for the rise in temperatures. If the solutions include rewilding our habitats, revitalizing our farmlands with regenerative farming (see the documentary The Biggest Little Farm), and cleaning up our water sources, those will be solutions that prevent desertification and species extinction as well as making our air healthier, so they are beneficial for all of humanity and for future generations. It’s also reasonable to expect that he will learn about how the data on rising temperatures has been manipulated for the purposes of fearmongering.
