It is true that an automobile of any sort is a huge consumer of resources. Preferable would be walking, bicycling or public transportation in electric vehicles. The grid should be switched from fossil fuels to renewables with carbon offsets as we transition. Now that solar and wind are competitive with coal and gas, the switch is occurring rapidly. Electric cars are not the answer. But they are much better than greenhouse-gas producing vehicles. It is always follow the money to some degree when capitalist economies are involved. |

The planet and atmosphere needed to get 400 million ICEs off the road 30 years ago. Now, it's probably too late. Extreme measures are warranted.

Yep. The Parts Per Million of carbon in the atmosphere went beyond the never-exceed limit of 400 PPM a couple of years ago. And, just this week, scientists announced we are heading into the 420 PPM area (literally “no-man’s land”). But, who believes in scientists? Fucking eggheads who spend all their low-paid time researching the natural world. They probably don’t even twitter, for god’s sake. |

Median wage for climate scientists looks to be about $77,000, with a range of $50K to $112K. That is above the all-wage median of about $50K, but definitely does not place them in the salary range of fossil fuel CEOs. The point is that scientists are not researching to make a “killing” in the market. That can’t be said of those on the planet-polluting side. |

We dont live in a democracy, money runs our country. Politicians have learned how to take money from special interests and give them what they want while twisting it to be " for the good of the country". Sure.. these tax cuts are going to "trickle down".. Sure.. this new bill to deregulate (special interest here) will stimulate the economy and create jobs. Sure.. Iraq never attacked us, but this war is to keep Americans safe. Sure.. these tough prison sentences for marijuana possession are to keep your kids safe from drugs. The large contributions we received from the private prison system is just a coincidence. Sure.. these outrageous high drug prices are about supporting capitalism in America. Pharmaceutical companies only donate to politicians as a sign of their good will. Edited by Scribbles on Feb 15th 2020 at 11:30 PM |

There's lies, damn lies, and statistics. Per capita, if you call "All others" the third world nations and the rest 1st world (even though I might consider India third world), then: 1st world: 6.1 billion tonnes CO2/billion people 3rd world: 3.6 "" "" "We" pollute nearly twice as much. |

Or just a bunch who revel in playing devil's advocate? Their stance, on most topics, including nuclear, vary as much as the wind blows: https://e360.yale.edu/features/indus...ming-to-an-end |

Nuclear is just a red herring the radical right uses to attempt to show environmentalists are not serious about global warming. “Well, if you were serious, you would accept this available, ‘clean’ fuel source.” If nuclear were so viable, the nuclear industry could fund themselves. No insurer will cover them and it requires tax payers to cover the risk. That should tell you something. When private capitalism requires public socialism to exist, something is going on. |
