    Regardless of your animosity toward Cal or Vambo or me or anybody it's not so much old people that are voting against your panacea for global warming but because even though you won't admit it, every generation prefers creature comforts to sacrifice when push comes to shove. As long as environmentalist politicians live in homes with a carbon footprint the size of a small city or socialists are living in million-dollar mansions or covid mandate Warriors are partying Like It's 1999 mask free when they think nobody's looking... Well no doubt you understand that.

    But of course we'll be dead in a couple of decades and you will be pissed off about something else probably those "damn kids" who are breaching the sanctity of your lawn.

    No animosity towards anyone. But as usual if that makes you feel better to think that way then knock yourself out 

    Look at any Gallup or pew poll and concern towards climate change increases with younger generations. 

    Real meaningful change comes from government regulations of large companies. Those are what is affecting the climate the most. We get it, you don't think humans are doing anything, and if they are you don't think there's anything they can do to fix it anyway. You want to frame it completely as a personal responsibility thing and then say "no one is doing that so why bother!" But that's a tiny fraction of what would actually make a difference. It's no surprise large oil companies push the same agenda, saying individuals need to do more. Could individuals do more? Sure. But any meaningful change has to be directed at the largest polluters, companies.

    Absolutely no doubt. I personally give a lot less of a s*** about it than you do but what's the difference? Still I think you confuse actually making sacrifices with public hand-wringing. Then again the latter is a lot easier than the former and gets more TV. coverage 

    Did you happen to see that Bill Maher clip I posted about that subject? Compared the following of Greta thunberg and some fashion twit.

    As to the underlined section great. It gives you an excuse to not do anything uncomfortable.

  • woodpecker doesn't get definitions. We'll have to post a definition that he will actually READ and understand.

    or, somebody could convince him to actually look up the definition alone. We can't even convince him to answer

    Vapor's legit questions. Woodpecker dropped out and sent silently in his own direction again.

    You're missing the point or choosing to ignore it. Individuals doing things that are "uncomfortable" isn't going to make a dent compared to actual regulations. I realize you like saying that because you want to spin it back on people and say "ha! See! You won't even do this!"

    Right, we get it. Congrats. Do your song and dance but that doesn't change reality. 

    The push towards personal responsibility is a ploy to get attention and heat off of large corporations. That's where actual improvement and change can happen. 

    I'd be happy to eat meat less, recycle, etc (a lot of things I already do) but that isn't going to amount to much at all. 

    That's the point. Real impact needs to come from the top down. And it seems like we won't get any until voting demographics shift. Because this country had unfortunately politicized a scientific issue.

    1) weren't you and Vambo just posting about a semi crash full of people?

    2) what is the appropriate amount of time to talk about the cause or solution to a tragedy?

    Thought you had me on ignore.

  • while i believe biden is a pos and trump was a dumb fuck climate change is real and i get sick of hearing how we need to save the planet  Earth will be fine after it shakes us all off like fleas from a dog

  • well, they USED to call it "man-made global warming" until they were proven to be

    morons for buying into it ....

    so they renamed it "climate change" because the climate DOES change.

    If their rallying cry was "unicorn!" they would look like morons again, so they would change it to "horse" because

    horses exist.
