Why I laugh at Eco-warriors

Recommended Posts

and their quixotic crusade to save the planet.

From John Kerry at the Paris climate conference

"… The fact is that even if every American citizen biked to work, carpooled to school, used only solar panels to power their homes, if we each planted a dozen trees, if we somehow eliminated all of our domestic greenhouse gas emissions, guess what – that still wouldn’t be enough to offset the carbon pollution coming from the rest of the world.

If all the industrial nations went down to zero emissions –- remember what I just said, all the industrial emissions went down to zero emissions -– it wouldn’t be enough, not when more than 65% of the world’s carbon pollution comes from the developing world."

So what's your point?

Is this like the argument, if we can't reduce gun violence to zero within 1 week with a simple law, we should just continue selling military grade weaponry to everybody?



Military grade?
Just like "hands up don't shoot"?
:D

If you know where I can get some legally, please let me know.
Otherwise admit your lie and move on....

Close, more like:
If a simple law will have no impact on gun violence, we should continue not violating people's rights.

I'd add that if ANY law would have minimal impact on the status quo, just enforce the laws in place. There is no need to further inconvenience anyone else.

Enough for what?

You and Rush have been denying that carbon emissions have any effect on climate change.

So if all the industrial nations would go down to zero, the reduction in emissions would not be enough for what?

Yes a 35% reduction in carbon pollution is not a change.

That's some mighty fine logic there.



Carbon pollution!

Ya'all better stop breathing then

Please!

You eco nuts are funny anymore

That is what makes me laugh. This isn't really about saving the planet. The planet will remain, this is more about trying to keep reduction in population to a minimum.

Though, personally I think antibiotic resistant bacteria will reduce the population long before climate change will.

There's a huge difference between an anti-vaxer and someone who's concerned about the overuse of antibiotics.

I think the antibiotic-resistant bacteria will largely attack the wealthier nations; the people in the poorer ones don't have as generalized access to antibiotics, so most of their bacteria are still killable.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I see that like Rush you believe climate change was invented so the world can trick the US into giving money to the rest of the world.

Interesting concept. Exactly what is in it for Exxon Mobile to agree with Climate Change? Or are they "in" on the conspiracy?

Not as far fetched as you may think.

From the Copenhagen agreement: Agrees a "goal" for the world to raise $100 billion per year by 2020, from "a wide variety of sources", to help developing countries cut carbon emissions (mitigation). New multilateral funding for adaptation will be delivered, with a governance structure.

There is no doubt that in order to combat increasing carbon emissions, money is required in the emerging markets.

Burning carbon with reckless abandon is how the west industrialized. Hard to now tell emerging markets they are not allowed to do so without funding alternatives.

But then, you operate from the premise that climate change is one big hoax, so any conversation really stops after that. Like when somebody says the earth is flat.

So, following that concept, if a simple law will have a significant impact on gun violence, and will not significantly violate people's rights, we should pursue it - even if it does not solve the problem 100%.

Works for both carbon and guns.
