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
Which it does
thats the whole point
Let's keep going.
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.
She's not even right to be angry. Norhaus estimates 2-4% less GDP than otherwise from global warming by 2100.
what her parents are doing to her mind is sad really... i feel bad for greta
can you imagine having these mental issues and ur parents are like.. btw we are all going to die in 12 years
But hey, know what? I still want to reduce CO2. I just want a plan that might actually work.
i want to pump out MORE co2
personally
She has a right to be angry. Any progress we might be making is nowhere near enough. Also, Greta's parents were influenced by her, not the other way around. Her mom changed careers to support her daughter's commitment to fighting climate change.
im thinking about buying some hairspray and shit and just spraying it into the air
burning tires
things like that
okie dokie, scott, how about oceans
