My daughter was learning to write at 4 using Hooked of Phonics, I taught my daughter to shoot when she was I think 8, I would never have sent her to a hunting course. I started her with a BB gun and then a .22 pump, then a M1 Carbine

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
