Dear Climate Change Deniers

I think we should worry about an unsustainable monetary system based on debt before we worry about the earth getting 0.02C warmer.

I think you're perfectly capable of worrying about more than one thing at the same time.

seriously though, i've driven down to big shell (padre island national seashore) when it was endless amounts of trash for 40-50 miles, from dunes to water. it's fucking sad

the annual beach cleanup last year had 500+ people with trailers and 4x4s and they picked up over 800,000 lbs of trash in a 9 mile stretch.

but let's worry about .2 degrees per century.

Ozone is essential to life on planet Earth, but also one of the main contributors to smog. So you don't think it is a pollutant?

Beyond your stated opinion that CO2 isn't a pollutant you haven't said why it isn't beyond referencing photosynthesis.

According to your train of thought, every single trace gas on the planet could be labeled a pollutant.

so true:

We could worry about an alien invasion, or an asteroid destroying Earth, but I don't think we need a $2 trillion dollar tax to combat either of those things.

Call me crazy.

No, that isn't where I was going, and jumping from Ozones proven contributions to smog and saying every trace gas is a pollutant is a rather rash leap that I didn't imply, and here you accuse me of straw men. I was simply asking you where you draw the line and why when it comes to what is and isn't a pollutant.

is 400ppm of CO2 a pollutant? No

is 800ppm of CO2 a pollutant? No

Is any of this on topic? No

 

[Dutch]

are my farts a pollutant

 

[Phyzx]

your farts are non-essential to life on earth, so I'm gonna go with yes.

 

[Dutch]

are you sure

 

[Phyzx]

97% sure

 

[DocHolliday]

I just polluted and it felt good. Not sure how the others in the office feel about that however.

 

[Phyzx]

please send $2.73 to the IRS to cover your pollution tax.

i think we should worry about making me rich before we worry about the earth getting 0.02c warmer

i think we should worry about making me rich before we worry about the earth getting 0.02c warmer

I agree with this philosophy. What could go wrong?

 

[Al'Muktar]

Some pretty hefty allegations about the WH and the current administration.

Obama doubled down on coal, oil, and fracking, while allowing renewable energy investments to fall. But the most disturbing part of the story is that Obama and his officials have been working in secret to weaken environmental standards that his administration has been patting themselves on the back for in public.

Unless there's an equation for how they weakened epa standards, it didn't happen.

This is worrisome to me.
