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
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
then why are you responding
Oh maybe it didn't go through
Continue. Sorry to interrupt continue
Introducing a carbon tax =! giving up your nation's sovereignty
Carbon Tax is dumb, it only gives more money to the government and doesn’t help pollution
If you do believe it helps pollution, I’d like to see the graph
