Why
Climate issues?
Just accept the fact you can't control it
Smh
@Holy Knight King 👑 Actually we can control it. The more the world talks about a subject, the more people are motivated to make change and the more ideas get spread around for better solutions. If you don't talk about the problem, the problem will never be solved.
who cares abt it
I mean we can't really control things like racism and crime but does that mean we should just stop talking about those subjects because we can't control them? If anything you have plenty of control over the health of the earth because there are things you can do in your daily life to lower your carbon footprint.
it's like a functionally irrelevant issue
if it doesn't exist we should do the same thing we would if it does
I have a deep fear that no one really cares enough about the climate to make change. It is a subject I am heavily interested in.
It's not just about climate though, it's also about health. It's not healthy to breathe in nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide all the time and people in big cities are surrounded by so much of it.
we always breathe carbon dioxide
In first world countries that isn't true.
Most cities have small levels.
yeah
no2 isnt good but at the levels rn in the US espcially its not really that bad
Well then why is it that people are already dying from pollution-related issues in first-world countries like the US?
These cases are rare.
Normally workers in high pollution areas.
There are still areas in the US that are badly affected by the pollution levels around them. For example, communities that are located next to coal-fired power plants. I understand that there are pollution hot spots in every country.
Now naturally you're not going to do well there
However we should be worried about China as well. China puts up eleven coal-fired power plants every month.
Yes true, they subsidise coal A LOT.
Those have to end
It's very alarming but the good news is that the government of china is starting to take note of the highly-polluted areas of china.
The chinese government literally shut down their power plants when Donald Trump was visiting which caused people to lose power for a few hours.
At least the power plants in the area he was visiting.
tons of people are freaking out during the quarantines, largely women
they have developed little to no hobbies so they have nothing to do
This whole thing makes me miss Hillary
deaths will skyrocket
imagine your life being so completely defined by your job that a little time off in your house makes your head explode
no way there are actually people who don't accept the fact of global warming or even worse climate change.
nobody gives a fuck
Oo-
things like that should be the least of your concerns
there are much more important issues out there
you gonna give a fuck when your kids can’t even breathe later on in the future
