*no shit*

bunch of climate activists arent logical anyway

pretty much all of the politics with climate change is bollocks, left or right

funnily, the first politician to bring up climate change as an issue was the iron lady her self, margret thatcher

btw, in australia we tried a carbon tax... *it actually worked well*

because many companies did the smart thing and just became a bit more efficient

putting thermal skirting on fridges in grocery stores and such

its like leaving your fridge open all the time

the money from the carbon tax was then used a taxcut for consumers, and to subsidise solar implementation

*the issue of the sun not shining in australia is pretty much not a thing*

our skies are cloudy like 2-3 months of the year

*if that*

the carbon tax was then abolished by the next people that came into power for literally *just* political reasons

Issue a carbon tax and build nuclear powerplants

Evidence based policies should take priority

lmao, if we had evidence based politics everything would be better

problem is people pick their "evidence"

People are faggots.

What do you mean by "evidence based policy"?

If there is "evidence" that gun restrictions reduce gun related crimes, that still wouldn't be a justification to take away inalienable rights

Similarly, if there is "evidence" that lax immigration policies lead to economic development, that wouldn't justify sacrificing the sovereignty of a Nation

Politics has a lot of dimensions than just "evidence" for a single factor

it can also find evidence to contradict that

the amount of crimes stopped by armed citizens would probably outweigh the gains

You're missing the point

*yes, but its also a nitpick*

Gun rights are NOT predicated on that evidence of "probably outweighing the gains"

They are inalienable rights, based on philosophy

Not empirical evidence

there is "probably" evidence that gunlaws decrease gun crime

*but theres also evidence to show they do fuck all*

***wut***

I just said it was related to last night

no you didnt

@Black Knight Patriarch you've said fucking nothing

Oh maybe it didn't go through

Continue. Sorry to interrupt continue

Introducing a carbon tax =! giving up your nation's sovereignty
