Fracking also reduces carbon emissions, because natural gas power plants emit significantly less CO2 than comparable coal-fired plants. But just like with their irrational, emotion-driven aversion to nuclear, feeling like they're doing something is more important than concrete, reasonably achievable goals.
Just like when they put out all the healthy, natural forest fires, and don't clear their forests artificially - leading to artificially thick forests and an inevitable massive forest fire disaster. Then they blame it on climate change.
Just like when they banned gas can vent caps in an attempt to prevent gasoline vapors from getting into the environment. Too bad now we spill 100000x more gas because of your shitty regulations!
And finally, just like when they banned straws based on data from some elementary school kid's project that was conclusively proved wrong. (It actually contributed to like 0.002% of water pollution ... and China pollutes more in a single day then we do in like, a year.)
TBH, Global cooling might work out better for us, which was thought to be a thing in the 70s. I got a old scifi book about how the Earth had cooled and people were burning down city blocks to keep half abandoned cities warm-ish.
Literally would not be against this at all if we'd just invest in nuclear already. As long as they're in the more climate stable regions of the US there's a 0% chance of a meltdown and everyone is happy.

Virtue signalling. Muh environment!

Clown. World.
Climate is changing all the time. And there is nothing wrong with that. In fact we are coming out of a mini ice age right now.
