AND it has real 'supervillians' at the root of the story, for added entertainment value

Cap and trade was killed, which was a fairly smart measure, and would have given some nice private sector incentive

Building cities to the scale of cars instead of people is a disaster. IT will get even worse as the baby boomers age out of driving

If we would assume that climate change would have such an impact, its already too late.
In the Netherlands for example, there's a climate change agreement that will reduce the temperature with 0.004% if not less, and will cost 100-millions if not billions. That agreement contains things like: more solar energy, less cars, everyone should get a heatpump instead of radiators, and a lot of other stuff as well.
Why spend so much time, effort and money to such a pointless and stupid agreement?

I'm not familiar with the exact agreement, if you cite it I can respond to it directly.

Otherwise, there are plenty of reasons those things are all good to have besides pure "temperature reduction" - one being a cleaner environment and more beautiful nature to enjoy in those places. Another being self-sufficiency and not needing to import as much stuff from others.

Your view and understanding of the topic seems pretty narrow, consider doing some more research.

You can also bet that if hundreds of millions or billions are being spent, there are probably economic benefits to these things (or else who would invest so much in them?)

@luduma

my opinion, the IPCC is milquetoast and they arleady know it's too late but are too afraid of the hysteria

The 'cost' shouldn't matter, since losing the planet is a total loss

This inability to price risk is a major issue in many areas of life, climate change being one of the most egregious because of the impact

Low wattage world is certainly doable, we just have to build the mechanical devices that allow much less energy input to get the same result, mostly for convenience

Green New Deal is weak sauce there too, probably for the same reasons as the IPCC

Ironically, some of the people who pray for the return of masculinity are also against the policies that would make it more attractive(more human labor, less energy usage)

Its quite long

That's the agreement translated itself, here's the govs official summary: https://www.government.nl/latest/news/2019/06/28/climate-deal-makes-halving-carbon-emissions-feasible-and-affordable

I don't understand how a person looks at something like this and says "Why spend so much time, effort and money to such a pointless and stupid agreement?"

It's interesting that you pointed out "0.004% if not less" temperature reduction (not sure where you got that exact value from, but lets say it's factual) and not the 49% greenhouse gas emission reduction

If I was more suspicious of you, I'd say you cherry picked something that looked intentionally "small"

That's a bold intiative, 49% of 1990 levels

The Dutch will figure it out, they have no choice lol

Can't lie, Dutch Women #1

It's considered one of the most ambitious climate deals, making the Netherlands a "leader" in that area. Just another benefit to the money being spent on this - publicity, tourism, etc.

I like the ag section

and the fiscal action required will be a nice job floor, something so hard to get American right to get

let's see what Dutch bonds are going for

-0.11% God help us

The most part of the Netherlands didn't want that deal to be made

Citation?

I don't like having to look up all this stuff - especially now that it seems like you might be a foreign agent, tasked with spreading disinformation

Even so, you didn't address all the above. Now you're moving on to the ins and outs of the Netherland's legal and voting process to get this thing passed?

Lol

You did waste my time, having me look it up btw

So you can have that satisfaction

I was hoping to find like an obvious result of some vote or something

Seems like it might be a little more complicated than that though

Im saying that hard-working people shoudn't be punished because of some weird xeal

Deal*

Can you show me where most of them didn't want the deal made?
