A lot of unsourced claims and factually incorrect statements.

That means no cars no planes no power except wind and solar and death to all of the farting cows, if all of this happened it would drop the tentative .003 of a degree.

That is insignificant.

Citation needed.

Most of the top polluting cities are in countries where no effort is being made to destroy their economies like China and India.

Why don’t they have to change

They do and they are, though they are responsible for far less cumulative emisisons to date, so I think countries that have already reaped the benefits of modernization through massive fossil fuel burning should take on more of the initial burden. Developing economies aren't going to develop clean energy technology on their own. That's up to the developed world, which I hope the U.S. will lead. 

We kill our coal industry but it doesn’t go away, it goes to Pakistan

Global coal use was down in 2019:

The truth is That nothing we do really has an effect greater than .003 of a degree.

Citation needed.

If that is the extent of the effect, why the huge push to do it? Because it is about equalizing the world. Shipping coal to Pakistan and manufacturing to China so that we can be more equal.

This is based on an unsupported premise.

If it were the great disaster they say it was going to be they would advocate for war against China India to shut them down. It’s not that big of a deal that’s why they don’t

Fallacious reasoning.

If you really had a testimony of the gospel and its importance you would be out preaching the gospel right now. It's not that big of a deal that's why you don't. /s

See how silly that sounds?

Nothing we do can make a difference because the earth heats and cools on its own.

No, the Earth warms and cools due to changing forcings. You have to upset the balance of energy in vs. energy out to lead to a change in average global temperature. First law of thermodynamics. See my signature for a bit of discussion on some of the mechanisms.

Each volcano puts more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere than all of man in the history of mankind.

Completely false. Spending the slightest amount of time checking your own claim would have shown that:

So go ahead and make a model but we’re not giving up our cows and I think we’re done giving up our industry

Hiding from the consequences of our actions only passes further burden onto our children and grandchildren.
