I was a Sanders guy, but I don't see how that relates to the topic.

No big trick to get an internal combustion engine to run on Hydrogen.
H2 car example (25 years ago a University built one)

I'll have to check it out, but my post was directed more at UK truth.
My only concern with hydrogen vehicles is the water vapor exhaust . If we had millions of them spewing out water vapor me thinks that might have an effect on local weather patterns. Otherwise I like what Honda is doing with hydrogen fuel cells.
What I would like to see is a mixture of safe nuclear using thorium(hopefully fusion within the next couple decades). coupled with solar shingles and a power wall provided by solar city. To power our homes, businesses, and full electric vehicles.
Lubricants and plastics can be made almost entirely from hemp and other bio materials. Not to mention electric vehicles do not require motor oil.
The University was going to crack H20 on demand but had to settle for 1st H2 cylinders and then moved to a Solar version of the car...

There are no intrinsically safe nuclear reactors currently available for commercial construction as far as I know. Even if there were, there's still all those nasty bits left over. While fusion does seem to offer some promise, there's been no breakthrough as of yet. Containing the sun inside a magnetic field is proving to be difficult.
Hydrogen is not a primary means of energy, it is a form of energy storage for energy generated by other means.
Empirical evidence that humans are causing global warming

Has there been any proven records of the frequencies output from the Sun changing? Cosmic radiation level, for example, is a factor in high altitude ionization contributing to more or less other solar radiation frequencies making through the atmosphere to heat or lessen the heating of Earth. How about cosmic radiation levels from non-solar space sources?

It is actually really not difficult to understand; the crap we are spewing into our atmosphere cannot leave the earth's atmosphere because of conditions inherent (like gravity).
Not really rocket science.
Thorium reactors?
Yet the designs have been out there for literally years, i gave an example here earlier in the thread.

Show me an example of a commercially viable power producing plant of this type on this planet.
Let me guess, you watched a youtube video....

Carbon Dioxide in the last two Ice Age was 3 to 4 times more PPM than today, so I am not sold and have never been sold on the Rothschild propaganda that Global Warming is caused by CO2.

I've looked at Thorium.
There is no boogeyman stopping anyone from developing thorium reactors, it's being done.
Still has nasty fission products associated with energy production.

Thorium can be used in reactors that are already on the market. The current issue is making sure the fuel is stable enough to use safely which takes years. Thorenergy is currently doing their second 5 year test of a thorium fueled reactor. In order to verify the positive results of the first test. Thorium should have been used from the beginning but you get far less bomb making material (plutonium) from thorium reactors.

Right.
Reactors that are not intrinsically safe.
