Atmospheric scientist here, again. Let's do the math.
Auto start-stop saves 3 billion gallons of fuel and prevents ~30 million tons of CO₂ annually. You just killed it.
Meanwhile, NOAA's own data shows U.S. climate disasters averaged $140 billion/year over the last decade. In 2024 alone: $182.7 billion in damages. 568 lives lost. 27 separate billion-dollar disasters. Since 1980: $2.9 trillion and nearly 17,000 dead.
The average time between billion-dollar disasters has gone from 82 days in the 1980s to 12 days in 2023-2024.
Oh, and this administration just shut down the NOAA database that tracked those costs. Can't have expensive disasters if you stop counting them.
"Making America Hot Again" is costing Americans $140 billion a year. That start-stop button you just bragged about killing? It was free.
@Rust_And_Decay@BulwarkOnline Brother, just because someone “committed a crime” doesn’t mean you can treat them like an animal. How is that hard to understand? Also go listen to how the South Korean engineers describe being treated in ICE facilities, they committed no crimes.
