Nuclear exists but it is only a portion of the global energy paradigm.

yeah but speaking about the US

I am making a far better case than you. You seek to dismiss or discredit those who oppose you, rather than making any actual arguments against their points. You misdirect, lie, deceive, and mischaracterize. If I am angry, it is because I have a _right_ to be angry. Or is that a luxury allowed only to Conservatives?

Gas has 1/2 the emissions of coal (you know what powers most of Asia which is where CO2 emissions are growing)

People like you make me sick, Jym.

Les than half if you use combined cycle generators.

Be sick then. I am not responsible for your emotional instability.

because both sides of the conversation have magically made the conversation whether the US alone should or shouldn't do something. like, seriously, it began as 'all countries should contribute", then out of nowhere some dipshit tried to claim "they want america to shoulder the entire burden", and before anyone could correct them, and even bigger dipshit came along and said "hey, that's not a bad idea."

You have a right to be angry just as you have a right to be wrong. I trust you will exercise both.

All countries SHOULD contribute, Joker. People in the US are just seeking to do what they can to lessen the burden however they can. For US citizens, that is working to make the US do more to help fight climate change.

hylia

you believe in climate change?

<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

America has decreased carbon emissions more than any country on earth (in total tonnage). We met the Kyoto target in '14 we are on track to meet Paris even though we signed neither. All this is readily available information.

let me ask you this. Do you think China would ignore climate change to gain an upper hand on western society?

especially if we decided to handicap our industries and economy to protect the globe or whatever

There are global efforts to fight climate change, too, of course. Do you think Greta was scolding the US alone? She was scolding the _entire_ united nations.

oh hey, found one

greta is the WORST person they could have used

was that your cat on the keyboard?

exploiting children for political gain is wrong. no matter how true the science is. causing a child with mental instability to fear for her life... thats wrong.

The largest carbon emitters are all in Asia. What can fix that? The same thing moving from coal to gas. Who is doing that? The US. We've opened 2 more LNG terminals and are working on 4 more.

the top 5 worst rivers in the world are in africa and china

many more are in india

these rivers dump god knows what into our oceans

China would do whatever it could to gain power. We must keep a close eye on Xi Xinping, lest he try and expand his influence further. But protecting the climate and not giving China control of the Earth are NOT mutually exclusive.

they are if protecting the climate means handicapping ourselves

@Jym That's good.

Which it does

thats the whole point

Let's keep going.

wow, so we did find one on this server, that didn't take long

ima laugh in 20 years when florida is exactly the way it is now <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898> just saying

I was kinda joking, but the joke became real

So if (imagine) you are not a socialist but are (gasp) *actually concerned about global carbon emissions* you want more fracking in the US.

all these politicians claiming that the sea level will rise and etc. meanwhile they buy houses on ocean front property

I didn't say Greta was right about everything. I said she was right to be angry.

you know why? cuz they know its bullshit to scare the population into voting for them.

just rewatch an inconvenient truth

it's funny

I don't give a fuck about where some rich idiot buys a house, even if they are Liberal.
