airdvr 197 #2377 April 22, 2020 Only thing I know about the restaurant business is the profit margin on food is slim. Seems they make a lot of money on liquor sales...which doesn't exist right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll make it easy for you Environmentalist: "could we have a religion that we are unaware of?"

No, climate change is real, climate changes.(It always has) Nobody disputes that. The religion is that we can somehow change the climate, with windmills, solar panels, bike paths, EVs, public transportation, high density urban living and reusable grocery totes. The real juicy part of the video is where he ties Big Green to the Koch brothers and big banks. Edited April 23, 2020 by brenthutch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no doubt that humans have has some impact on climate, the urban heat island effect for one. The broader question is, can humans control the climate with windmills, solar panels, bike paths, EVs, public transportation, high density urban living and reusable grocery totes. The obvious answer is we can't. There has always been bad weather and there will always will be. The notion that we can "save the planet" by riding a bike to work is nothing more than delusional religiosity. It is no more effective (and no different) than saying a hundred Hail Mary's Edited April 23, 2020 by brenthutch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
