Correct, the burned material absorbs heat

The emissions absorb heat

but then also the co2 grows plants which cool down the planet

Carbon does that

meanwhile no one talks about pollution of oceans

People do.

no one talks about population growth in africa

imagine all of africa driving diesel cars and having coal power plants

But then conservatives go "ur not taken my straws!"

Great thunberg isnt making things easier either

they are correct tho

banning straws will not solve this

not even close

Nor does it change things

No. But we need to start somewhere with eliminating single use plastics.

or use plastic that doesnt last hundreds of years?

or make machines that remove plastic from oceans?

wait, they exist

but not very known and almost no funding

Yeah.

who is pressuring india, china and indonesia to actually have environmental laws?

trump seems to be the only one putting pressure on china at all

not this kind, but its a start i guess

@Dragun9500 Check "Sulapac" for plastic replacement

pretty much what could be one solution

it wont solve all

but its a start

I personally want to see governments investing in clean energy. Wind/solar/wave/nuclear. We need to transition our countries and make them not so dependant on fossil fuels.

and this needs to be pushed instead of bullshit carbon tax

try talking to far lefties about nuclear

😂

If you are going to start somewhere, then start with Carbo Capture tech that the US is already using and give it to china and India

Wind and solar arent carbon neutral

I actually find more resistance from conservatives on nuclear.

Actually liberals are more anti nuclear

in my experience lots of people dont know shit about nuclear but leftists are more scared

The Green New deal is a great example

Well carbon capture is only neutral. It will never be a net positive.

in germany, *everyone* in the establishment is against nuclear, both left and right

But I agree it is needed.

It stops the carbon ffrom entering the atmosphere
