It's not a matter of denying global warming, or even anthropogenic global warming, because the fact is that if all the alarmism is true, we would have to literally destroy our entire economy and degrade our standard of living to pre-industrial revolution levels to have any chance of reversing things. Since that is simply not going to happen, merely doing serious harm to our economy as a sacrifice to Mother Gaia is just some kind of weird, pointless, faith based initiative that assuages our guilt but does nothing else. |
Or the fact that essentially, trying to stop global warming is 100% worthless.
It's funny, I just read a times article talking about how every green effort has actually more or less been worthless, since the hydrocarbons(coal in the US case ) that would of been used there have just been exported elsewhere to poorer countries who have made use of the cheaper and more avaialable energy.
Research shows there has actually been zero positive actions done thatnks to the kyoto protocall, showing even less done then was done before.
Assuming global warming is real, it's like living with a bunch of friends in a house where nobody else is paying the rent.
You can either get a small collection of friends, save and basically stress yourself out, and then STILL be fucked, by maybe if your lucky, extendeding your rent by a month.
Or say "Fuck it, we're screwed anyway. So lets just do this."
Since quite literally the way hydrocarbons work, short of a world dicatorship to keep third world countries in like... don't really see how you make any real meaningful change.
