The problem here is that we all lose. They ignored the warnings about climate change but now we all suffer the effects of it.
The climate hasn't changed, the humans have changed.
We had electric cars over 100 years ago, and surprise surprise, those things didn't explode into hellfire.
I'm confused by this because the climate is indeed changing
The climate is only changing because the humans are rapidly changing.
Name me one other species that refines and burns gasoline, diesel, etc...
If humans had never interfered, the climate would be much more stable.
Good, my confusing comment got you to thinking about these sort of things...
Now reverse my comment to back before the industrial/oil age, if humans hadn't mucked so much with nature, we wouldn't be anywhere near this predicament we seem to be in today...
Your comments confuse me. What the hell are you trying to say?
nobody knows, but it's provocative
My thoughts exactly. The first two comments directly contradict each other immediately. "The climate isn't changing" ... "the climate is only changing because of humans"
I think they think this is some deep and profound personal insight that the rest of us just can't comprehend.
Feels like you are going to propose developing a time machine instead of just doing literally anything else about it.
Nobody has to develop a time machine to learn knowledge of the past, they're called books.
Humans successfully lived over 100,000 years without massive industry or vehicles or anything like that.
Best invention I've seen in the past 200 years is the bicycle. Try riding one instead of driving a car once in a while, or God forbid, try walking every now and then.
Then maybe you'll be making a difference.
Why are you deleting your comments? Cowardice getting the better of you?
I'd rather not argue with folks, plain and simple. I deleted my comments because I have nothing more to say.
You have a good day stranger.
Cool, next time think that first, save us the trouble of putting you in your place.
No no, I'm reminding you that we're all in the same place. You are just as much a part of the problem as every other human.
And hell, the government mandates that you must have electricity, running water, air conditioning, etc, to even have a child.
All artificial requirements, bestowed upon us by greedy government and corporations that insist humans can't live naturally and coexist with nature.
Do you practice being this stupid or does it come naturally?
You sure say a lot for someone who has nothing more to say. Looks like you can't even learn to shut the fuck up which takes no effort, why would I want a discussion with you?
If you'd like to have a civilized discussion, that's cool.
I don't think the climate would be changing all that much if humans had never interfered. We humans are our own problem. We created this energy consumption issue, no other creatures on the planet do that or even seem to need that.
So, if human revert to monke, maybe the world can heal itself..
You dropped this.
