Are You Worried About Climate Change?

[dave50]

Is it acceptable for this government to ask us to make expensive changes to our lifestykes such as buying electric cars and scrapping gas fired central heating boilers among other things and enshrining in law that we must be carbon neutral by some arbitrary date when no other country on the planet has made such promises. Add this to the fact we only produce 2% of worlds emissions. Are we cutting our own throats to prove how virtuous we are while the biggest polluters of the world carry on as normal?

[dave50]

It's not about saving the planet, the planet will still be here after all life is long gone. Its about preserving our presence here for as long as possible which is irrelevant to the planet itself.

If you do not believe in man-made climate change then you do not believe in science I’m afraid…

I cannot help noticing that climate denialism comes heavily from the right… why is that? Margaret Thatcher was no lefty and grasped the issue and there are some tories who want to act… i think that belief in climate change is seen by some as being a “left wing” thing and that’s enough for some people to abandon their principles and oppose it for the sake of opposing it… how pathetic if true.

'It's like Covid, you have to listen to the scientists'

No you don't. We don't live in a technocracy, thank goodness.
Anyway, there are plenty of scientists, Covid and MMGW, with differing views which are, of course, ignored by the cultists and suppressed by the stake-holders.
The Eviro mental racket is being driven by big energy and chemical behemoths. Go figure.

The climate has been changing ever since it began. Going out and buying Teslas sounds like a great idea though.

I think it’s partly a libertarian thing : “I’m not going to be told what I can and can’t do”

as well as “I’m certainly not going to be told what to do by a bunch of tree huggers” In this respect people like Extinction Rebellion don’t really help. Like it or not this has to be “sold” carefully to sceptics.

and moreover it’s all a conspiracy by them and people who think they’re better than me because they have some “qualifications”

Which is odd, because if anything you’d think accusations of conspiracy ought to relate to covering it all up

Where is your proof?

[Spicerack]

A must watch for the cultists. Real independent scientists and environmentalists exposing some of the frauds that are being pushed on the gullible.

There are probably billions of people in the world who worry about where their next meal is coming from, whether they can keep a roof over their head & get access to clean water and health care. I think climate change will be pretty low on their agenda.

[ichkeria]

They’d be rather foolish then because they’re probably the people whose lives will become unliveable.
Then if you think illegal migration is a problem now …

[Spicerack]

The same people that used Covid to control every aspect of peoples' lives will now revert to GW to do the same. They are fascists.
Please think for yourselves before they turn you into asset-less, NPC proles.

[bobbinwales]

ha ha. I think I know who the gullible are, Spicerack. They watch few boring youtube clips from a few unqualified people or from maverick or unhinged people with some science background (like Corbyn on Covid) who have no support from 99% of scientists

[bobbinwales]

//The same people that used Covid to control every aspect of peoples' lives//
Typical claptrap regurgitated from forums/youtube that at most people with any sense can see through

[Spicerack]

Illegal migration. Lol, we were threatened with that by Untitled last week. Give up your comfortable lifestyles and improve the lot of Africans.
That'll be for you and me, of course. Not Untitled who envisions becoming Comrade Entitled in this Brave New World of his.

I feel sorry for you spicerack... you seem to jump on to every conspiracy theory and "alternative fact" going... what a miserable life.

Davebro @ 08.16. What an astonishing post. Are you really unaware that it is now, right now, that the low income, struggling and developing countries are suffering so badly from the effects of climate change?

[dave50]

The BBC are loving the wild fires in Greece, proof according to them of climate change, back to their favourite subject now that covid is receding.
