that's just your usual, vague, climate-change 'sceptic' / appeaser talk, trying to not sound like a complete science-denier, but still wanting nothing to fundamentally change (which is only a reasonable and logically coherent position if you actually DO reject the overwhelming scientific consensus regarding climate change).
here's a simple question: do you acknowledge the increasing frequency of extreme weather events (droughts, floodings, temperatures, hurricanes...) around the globe, and do you realise those are a direct result of man-made climate change, do you realise that we don't have ANY time to wait and see IF we're even responsible, but that everything we do RIGHT NOW will only limit the scope of the negative impact, or do you just dismiss that as alarmism / "cult"?
also, we've been over this a dozen times already, but the fact that it's basically impossible to make pinpoint predictions for something as complex as climate, does not mean the underlying findings and conclusions, the general predictions and trends are somehow all baseless conjecture. that's the exact same "logic" fail and lack of understanding of scientific methods and terminology as creationists pointing out that evolution is 'only a theory', lol.
simple question, simple answer
there is no increasing frequency of extreme weather events just like the popular "earth is burning" propaganda for every fire in california or australia is complete fearmongering
the real issue is terrible land management and increasing population
you cant build in classic fire and flood areas and whine about climate change
i dont dismiss environmental protection whatsoever and cutting emissions is a part of that
when i look at a coal power plant i am not concerned with CO2, but with actually bad things coming out of there
however, all this talk about having to cut all emissions at a certain date with no clue if thats even possible to prevent a completely theoretical scenario......thats just stupid
and predicting an apocalypse to force a certain political agenda on people is not only stupid, its evil
fossil fuels for generating energy will automatically be phased out eventually in favor of more efficient technology, thats how it has always been
self proclaimed climate activists want us to move back, but there is only one way and that is forward
these people want to abolish this and that, while whining about capitalism on their iphone
how about focusing on real problems right now, overpopulation, chemical pollution (plastic), destruction of forests and oceans
