Thanks for the link GM- I hadn't seen. Riveting.
As much as I want to join the chorus of climate activists- I can't.
There's so much research waste as is, climate data is no different. It assumes causation under one theory and absolves local issues like tackling pollution. The pope supports climate change because the papacy/holy see has an agenda against corporations from expanding and progressing. They burn candles and have nothing to lose.
Every country has a policy for climate change since the Kyoto protocol. These include reducing carbon emissions, investing in renewable energy sources, cleaner and tabling less fuel dependent strategies. It's ingrained in every govt agenda and energy company. The hype is that big oil giants are doing nothing bla bla bla but that's rubbish. They're slowly changing practices because of safety and its cost effective to not rely on conventional fuel sources. Oil giants haven't just gone through 'de-symbolification' eg BP changing their logo to green, but oil scientists are exploring clean energy sources like ethanol. This isn't because of climate change but because oil is finite and causes wars.
What more do climate activists want? Stop all access to oil? Ban all vehicles? Submarines? Ships? Planes? Airbases, nuclear plants, light, electricity, transportation, stocks, imports, exports, dissolve the military?
Moving societies away from an oil eco-system takes time. It's not going to happen overnight. If it happened overnight, people won't be able to get to work or even work if they get to work with no power, electricity, computers, no phones, no mobile, no ipad. So you stay home to watch netflix but there's no power. You want to cook but there's no food. You might be able to grow vegies catch a squirrel and get a firepit going.. no running water from water hydrohaulic pumps in dams at a standstill. No hospital equipment or medicines...
Should the theory climate change be given that much credit? Absolutely not. It's been heavily politicised when it shouldn't be.
I believe an asteroid has a better chance of wiping us out or even sun flares that happen every 11? years and scientists have been climate intervening by melting slabs of ice in the ocean and nuking the sun to "shield the earth" lets not forget how they're still testing nuclear bombs on the moon and that's why we don't have cities on the moon when we should by now. How come these issues aren't being addressed?
