Global Warming

Postby High Rise Nation » Thu Apr 11, 2019 9:32 am

I believe global warming is happening but we aren't doing much to stop it. In my biology class I learned many changes that are happening to our planet due to global warming. More ice in the north and South Pole is melting. This is affecting the polar bears and many other different species. What are ways we can help our planet?

Tell the truth, OP, this is a very tired subject, and it seems like your post is severely lacking in new talking points...

We could Nuke unimportant places. The resulting nuclear winter would cool the earth a little.

Or we could just build nuclear reactors. Either way nuclear is the only solution.

But yeah we have been over this many times. Nuclear power is the solution, but people find it scary (despite it being the safest, yes safest form of power).
So we will destroy the environment in the name of anti-science, anti-nuclear fanaticism.

I think that it is real but it isn't going to end the world in 12 years time as I feel like that is just a fear-mongering tactic used by left wing politicians in order to gain votes whilst they personally are living a high emissions lifestyle instead of actually trying to stop global warming.

natural means it has to happen. It is a cycle, a loop, it gets colder, then warmer. I live in a country which is very cold.
There are many reasons why they are pushing it. They are running out of oil and it's better for them if you waste less. Stop driving your car, they say, flying on their private jets. Also they tell you to have less children to combat global warming and then.. low birthrates! importing humans from overseas..

I have to agree with Fjordbjorg. For the past thirty years we've been told that the world would end or be irrevocably changed within 10-15 years, yet every doomsday declaration has failed to pass. Instead, the most technologically and environmentally progressive nations are told to curb their own economic progress and pollution-combatting measures in order to send money to India and China, while those two greatest industrial polluters on the planet are excused from any regulation.
The reduction of pollutants has been mostly ignored in favor of anti-carbon actions, while climate-change alarmists travel around the world in private jets, burn freon like maniacs and even spend water to mist the sand and dirt so politicians' shoes don't get dirty. Especially in the last decade we've seen endless propaganda telling white people that they're the problem and they have to have fewer children, then we're told that white nations have to import migrants to replace their waning populations. Even terrorist attacks and ideological crusades are blamed on climate change.

Polar bears and penguins are both seeing massive population booms, the north pole's ice is melting and becoming more livable for the creatures there while the south pole's ice is increasing and helping the animals there.
I believed in global warming and tried to fight it, but the crusade never ends while the supposedly settled science always changes its warning sirens. Global warming is just an economic and political scam, intended to boost corporations' ability to pollute without regulation while weakening the very nations that would normally take a moral stance against such practices.

1) Was it scientists who where making those end of the world predictions or was it the media hyping up science. The media is notoriously bad at making accurate scientific articles and movies. If scientists please go ahead and source those claims.
2) Source that they are excused, source that they are significantly worse then the US given population sizes and densities. Source that the US is forced to give them money at the expense of the US, and finally source that new technologies and methods developed to reduce pollution also necessarily cut economic progress.
3) Source for the claim that the reduction of pollutants has been ignored for anti-carbon stuff, and that the focus on carbon if it does happen is inappropriate. Source that those alarmists have anything to do with the actual science of human influenced climate change.
4) Source that this is focused on white people, source that this has anything to do with the claims climate scientists have been making, source that the stuff you said about terrorist attacks and crusades has anything to do with the actual science behind climate change.

This entire post was one big appeal red herring.
