Climate change is an issue that will have apocalyptic repercussions for everybody across the entire spectrum of society. The fact that some may think it's just a political issue that belongs only in politics is very revealing of the lack of understanding of the gravity of this issue by society, especially those in power. Most shocking is the tweet that some absolute moron working for Trump (can't remember his name, not that his name is worthy of remembrance anyway) made back during the World Economic Forum in Davos and in which he told Greta Thunberg that she had better study economics rather than tell the world about climate change. Thus showing his abysmal issue with priorities and the scope of his ignorance. I mean that a human being with an allegedly working brain could think for a second that economics>natural order, profoundly flabbergasts me. But anyway, to answer the question asked here, not a month goes by without some sort of climate change related record is broken and mentioned in the news over here. Hottest day recorded for whatever month we are in, hottest month recorded, most rainy, longest period without rain etc... We are only reaping what we sowed. |
"I mean that a human being with an allegedly working brain could think for a second that economics>natural order"
for the vast majority of people and everyone who visits this forum, economics does trump the natural order
whenever we build houses or lay roads to drive our cars or build airports to move across countries what do you believe is happening?
to access this forum you use a computer built in a factory from materials extracted from the earth connected via extensive networks spanning thousands of miles
how many ecosystems are disrupted within these processes? do you have any idea how much energy is consumed to create consoles and the video games that run on them? or to keep those consoles turned on and connected?
how many people in one breath voice concern about how bad climate change is then cheer at the implementation of 5g networks?
a lot of this crying about how urgent global warming is to me sounds a little hypocritical, i know personally that if it came to it i could go live in the bush off the grid and still feel contentment with regards to life, fully understanding what that means and how much more difficult life would be, but I don't think many of people people lamenting climate change and that WE MUST DO SOMETHING can say the same
