The science tells us that the climate is changing. The science doesn't tell that the world is ending. Be very skeptical of anyone who claims we're all going to die if who don't enact such and such policy. Even if we assume the absolute worst, humans are some of the most adaptable animals in the world. We live in every climate and we're going to be fine. In fact, it's looking like people in North America and Europe are going to be extra fine because are crop will become more productive.

If you want to clean the environment that's great, you'll find a lot of allies all across the political spectrum but don't get sucked into this apocalyptic shit. Bernie Sanders and Al Gore are the biggest proponents of that shit yet they invest their savings in beachfront property. I'll start taking their predictions seriously when they do.

>> No.13645695

a way i think about it is in terms of WW2. world war 2 was this horrific, bloody, violent moment in human history. however, only 3% of the global population died. all that, and 97% of humans get to keep living their lives. and while it went on, movies kept coming out, children went to school, people got married. aka humans are adaptable even during the worst moments.

i do believe climate change will happen. the 3 degree Celsius will probably happen, and major parts of coastal cities will probably get flooded, and there probably be crop shortages. that being said, i don't anticipate it being the end of humanity, it'll just be another shitty thing that we get through

India just banned non-biodegradable plastic and will phase all of it out till 2022(despite the fact that its per capita plastic consumption is 1/10th of the US). China is building solar farms and nuclear power plants very rapidly, also it has very elaborate railway system that'll only get better to reduce vehicular pollution. Meanwhile in America half of the country thinks climate change is a hoax. The fact of the matter is they are pulling above their weight, despite being drastically poorer compared to the leader of the free world.

You have to be a retard to deny climate change is happening. And you have to be a retard to not understand that it has huge negative consequences for most of the world. We will not all die no credible source is saying that. Just hard new problems will emerge in the next 30 years for which we are ill equipment right now.

What wonders me tho is how so basically all normies are thinking about this in a moralizing way. How to stop it, how it's the duty of every single country to do everything humanly possible etc. Noone is asking if the big players like US Chine India Russia etc even CAN do something. Maybe the carbon spewing industries all around the world, the transnational companies etc are a geopolitical instrument. If Russia would do everything in their power to reduce emmision they would have to cut down their gas exports etc. Less political leverage.

I see it like mutual assured destruction. No global power can do anything of substance because that would mean to loose global influence in some way. A vacuum which will be filled by the power which wasn't stupid enough to blindly follow the climate fanatics demands.

What nobody is asking is what to do after climate change. Fucking world altering conditions in 30 years, questionable if it's even theoretically to do anything, questionable if it's too late and nobody is asking what do we do afterwards?

This is the big question imo. Not how to stop climate change but what do we do if we can't stop it. Be it through game theoretical inability to change, be it that we already destroyed the atmosphere, the question is what when millions of migrants come to other countries, the crops start to die and the ocean is rising.

So long as you recognize yourself among the source of your hatred. And don't cite that obnoxious political hack cartoonist comic with the medieval peasant, you know the one. It is an entirely valid point to make that you are yourself the very same heat you speak of, and the object of your hatred and revulsion involves yourself. Failure to recognize this point produces the Al-Gores and Dicaprios who preach a great deal about averting climate change and do absolutely nothing themselves to remedy it. Worse, they almost always practice far greater impact on the environment than the average person.

I honestly hate that comic I mention because it is a conscious choice to participate in a flawed system one has a serious issue with (like the chick complaining about apple worker policies on her iphone). One is just too chickenshit to take the step to actually put their money where their mouth is. You could not drive a car and not go on the highway and pay tolls. You just don't.

Why not both things?

I completely agree, climate change should be one of the new main struggles of the left, when there are lives at stake, suddenly people are more willing to get armed and fight for their cause.

Because the meat is cheap and individual transit is more comfortable. I don't care about what the result my individual actions aggregate to, because I'm just a stupid sheep that does what the billboards tell me to do. If you want me to change my ways, you have to force me to do so.
>why should the individuals not start already consuming less?
Feel free to do so, but that's not the solution. Solution is using power to force the owning class into producing less, use power to regulate consumption and build alternative solutions.

Most c02 emissions are due to energy production and transportation.
Focus on the biggest slices of the pie first. Move away from fossil fuels by placing emissions caps and toward renewable energy by subsidizing it. At the same time invest in larger public transportation systems.
Eventually the solution will have to be nuclear but we still need to figure out how to manage it safetly. In the meantime another problem is storing renewable energy efficiently.
A government tree planting program (as in full on reforestation efforts with machinery, not some pussy plant a tree day shit) can take some of the brunt of our emissions. For now trees are more efficient than our best carbon capture technologies.
Our trade deals will have to include strong environmental regulations so people who want to sell to North America and Europe don't just keep production in somewhere where they can pollute.
Anyway, we might get half of that so hope to see you on the other side when people start dying off.

I think I improperly worded by argument. The average individual in China may not produce as much polutions as the average in the US. This should not abstain China from that responsibility to the citizens that do though. I would guess that the top 330 million emitters in China likely have a higher average than the US (pop 330 mil), and those people should be held to the standard that others in countries around the world are. The question ought to not be who is being fairly treated, but where emissions can be cut off in ascending order of costs on a global scale. Pretend, for a moment, that we were a global dictatorship, who's concern was the global wealth and climate pollution contribution as a whole. It would be optimal for us to regulate the sectors of the planet that had the smallest cost per emissions saved, and to steadily continue regulation until the escalating costs no longer justified the diminishing reduction of emissions. China's actual per person emission is irrelevant in this goal. The reality is that an incredible amount of pollution is generated in that country, and that much of it could reasonably be regulated away without terrible costs in comparison to other nations. The burden China would be forced to take is only relevant to the absolute amount of fixable emissions it produces now. If we, for example, told every modern, industrialzied nation to cut their emissions by 10%, that would be reasonably fair to each, but it would not actually be the most efficient method of reducing global climate change in the realm of cost per emissions saved.

You're trying to define "responsible" which is very messy in this situation. If a corporation emits c02, who is responsible? Is it the CEO, board of directors and investors? Or is it the workers at the factory? Is it the people who rely on that business for their goods and services that prompts them to emit c02 in the first place? Have more people, you need more production. Which isn't even getting into that China is essentially the manufacturing powerhouse of the entire world right now. When you take that into account, how are they not doing a good job given all the people they're producing goods for?

In the two weeks I was in China I felt the sun 1 or 2 times. One afternoon in Chengdu we found ourselves sitting in the grass in a giant city park similar to Central Park or something.

please stop for a second to consider how confidently you wrote something that takes only a moment's thought to understand how false it is.

the graph has never been as steep as it is now. you're pkaying with the scales to make it look as steep when it isn't.
this is like watching a house on fire and saying "yeah it's been getting warmer and colder every year, nothing to worry about"

Same desu. Even if there still was still some sort of spirit of national brotherhood (there isn't), my nation will be extinct in 50 years. So why should i care? Let the chinks, pajeets and nogs inherit fiery hell

"We" dont need to personally do anything. It's all the shitskin countries like Brazil and China and India destroying their environment to make more money. Even in the height of the industrial revolution white people weren't consuming so short sightedly.

you know that more than half of the humanity died with each environmental crises and that there 7 billion people living on earth right now, right?
all of this can be prevented with more irrigation and agricultural infrastructure and sustainable energy resources.
also read about the carbon cycle and Milankovitch theory

1. Where are you getting these made up facts?
2. If it's easy to fix with some irrigation, just build some irrigation?
3. By sustainable resources you better mean nuclear, or this is the most embarrassing part.

You mean, when some tabloids printed big letters about how we supposedly were going to freeze, when all the actual scientists *correctly* said the overall trend was actually warming up?

Time magazine and about 1/3 of scientists. But instead of getting angry at heretics, which just makes you a religious nut, explain that science improves with new data and experiments, eg. the theory of relativity didn't mean we should just give up on ever understanding physics.

1. glacial period killed most europeans + following weather change lead to a huge amount of typhoons, storms, volcanoes, floods, etc that killed a lot of humans.
2. desalting water, storing water so it doesn't dry out and someway being able to farm without relying on rain and weather are very hard and expensive.
also bodies of water can stabilize temperatures and massive forests can lower CO2 in the atmosphere. those are very huge scale projects but they aren't impossible, dirt poor african countries are already working on building a green barrier to stop desertification but they are doing it slowly due to lack of finances
3. nuclear energy is the only reliable and efficient energy resource available unless something new is discovered or new fusion energy concept produces more than what it consumes
