Re: Conflicts of interest and transparency
You miss my point entirely. It has not been proven that human industrial activity is responsible for climate change at all, and were it to be proven, it is pointless for any single country to deal with an international issue over which it has no control.

Re: Conflicts of interest and transparency
The only way to 'prove' that is to cease activity and see what happens, dipshit, but then of course you selfish cunts would just say ''but you can't prove that ceasing activity caused the change''. You sneaky little bastards. It doesn't matter how overwhelming the evidence, because the facts don't suit your lifestyle you say 'it ain't so', just like anti-science creationists.bobevenson wrote:You miss my point entirely.

I predict that in another twenty or so years old people will have to live in guarded fortresses to protect them from the young people who are out for their blood for knowingly destroying their planet for them and doing nothing to fix it before it was too late. You will still be under 100, so watch out.

All I can say is that your ratio of words to smilies is exceedingly and pathetically low.

I gather that Trump did not want Pence as a running mate but was lumbered with him by the republicans.
Meanwhile each nation has areas of extreme vulnerability to the effects of climate change. The good news is that, even if we little people are exposed, at least the billionaires and their families will be okay.
You will find that the US and Australia are both fighting against sustainability measures because they have large coal reserves and a lot of infrastructure that will no longer produce dirty "rivers of gold" for certain mining multinationals.Hobbes' Choice wrote:It's always been the US dragging its feet, on this issue whilst being the biggest user of fossil fuels per capita of any country in the world.
Now it is walking backwards.

Exactly what do you have against people indirectly responsible for your relatively high standard of living?Greta wrote:The good news is that, even if we little people are exposed, at least the billionaires and their families will be okay.

Re: Conflicts of interest and transparency
Please, those billionaires are billionaires because they made everybody's life a lot better, and you know it, you damned socialist fool!
Re: Conflicts of interest and transparency
I have nothing against them. They are just people acting in a largely self interested way, as most of us do. Maybe somewhat more but that's not the issue.bobevenson wrote:Exactly what do you have against people indirectly responsible for your relatively high standard of living?Greta wrote:The good news is that, even if we little people are exposed, at least the billionaires and their families will be okay.
Thing is, billionaires have no problem taking wildly cavalier risks with climate change, yet they are not personally vulnerable. So they take the risks with the "little people" so as to maximise their investments in fossil fuel infrastructure.
But that's just survival of the fittest, right?

Jesus Christ, are you serious? Are you saying that somebody like Bill Gates or any other billionaire has the power of God over the climate? What kind of a fucking fantasy world do you live in?Greta wrote:Billionaires have no problem taking wildly cavalier risks with climate change.

Fossil fuel billionaires have a lot of infrastructure invested that they clearly intend not to waste, no matter what the state of the environment. They achieve this partly by manipulating gullible people like you to vote against your own interests in supporting them.
You are a great example of the madness that has afflicted the US - religious mania and fantasies, tinfoil hat conspiracies, always combative, a gun nut, and too mentally neutered by cultural inanities to reason, and are thus vulnerable to all manner of rhetoric.

Re: Conflicts of interest and transparency
If the government wants to put companies out of business, fine, but unfortunately, the government can't put companies in the rest of the world out of business. Do you understand my point? It doesn't matter what anybody does in this country, it won't affect the world climate one iota. When are you liberals going to straighten up and fly right?
