What everyone can do to combat climate change.

[Woodznutz]

Most of our activities produce pollution, which affects the climate. Most cannot be significantly reduced, such as heating and cooling our homes, driving to work and school, and other necessary activities.

But we can reduce the amount of food we eat. Obesity is a growing problem globally. The production, waste, transportation, processing, packaging, displaying, and finally selling of foodstuffs requires vast amounts of energy mostly in the form of polluting fossil fuels. It is estimated that we eat 50 percent more calories, in the form of food, than we actually need to live a healthy life. If we can reduce the pollution and waste generated by the production and final consumption of food by a third it would go a long way in mitigating climate change. Perhaps even more when the energy needed (pollution) to address the problems caused by obesity are considered as well. Food fer thought, eh?

We could pretend that we have control over the planet’s climate.

Our activities affect the climate. Poking an animal with a sharp stick can cause unanticipated reactions. Stop poking the critter and you don't have to worry about it. We need to stop poking the climate.

We can be rid of A/C ... we lived in deserts long before they were deserts ... and we can significantly reduce our commute distances and ride bikes in good weather ... just simple greed that sends us the additional 75 miles one way ...

"Eating less" ??? ... How about quit wasting food ... upwards of 15% of food grown is thrown away ... all that energy to grow, ship and cook ... there in the trash can ...

Four things we can do to mitigate almost all environmental problems:

2] Reduce passenger cars by 90%,
3] cut back airline travel by 90%, and
4] eat 90% less meat ...

So you AGW Faithers contend. But there is very little actual evidence to support your speculations.

It is one thing to say, don’t pollute. Independent of climate change, that’s perfectly sound advice. But to claim that our very slight increase of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere (which is but a trace level to begin with) somehow has the ability to “change” our climate is just plain unsupported. It’s theoretical at best.

If I have to give up cokes that come in plastic bottles to save the planet...well the planet is screwed.

Still eating taters I harvested back at the beginning of July. Bet they sank some carbon to offset some of my soda pop addiction.

Food for thought?

Yeah...

I think you should shut the fuck up and go eat some KFC.

NOTHING HUMAN BEINGS DO WILL MAKE FUCK ALL DIFFERENCE TO THE CLIMATE.

Not a fuckin thing.

Wanna bitch about actual pollution and environmental damage, go bitch to the chinks and wogs. Then there's the goddamned illegals that have trashed a 50 mile wide swath of the US along our border, then there's all the SE Asian countries that have loaded the pacific with fucktons of plastic.

Shit... There are efforts to clean that up and how much are we invested into THAT ACTUAL EFFORT THAT WOULD MAKE A TANGIBLE DIFFERENCE?

NOTHING COMPARED TO JUST THE MARKETING OF THE BULLSHIT MMGW HOAX.

Yet the oxygen supply also decreases significantly....

"Reduce passenger cars by 90%"
Good luck with that.

2) No
3) No
4) Go fuck yourself.

I won't sink that low but I might just get Little Ceasars today.

These bed wetters believe it. Yet how many of them actually neutralize their own "carbon footprint"? They're always the first to tell us there are "too many people" but too few of them really really commit to their dogma...

 

[Anomalism]

BTW it would be EFFECT you imbecile

Nope.

 

[Pete7469]

If everyone in western society who believes human produced CO2 went to bed tonight with plastic bags sealed around their heads and neck to contain their exhaled CO2 footprint the world would be a cooler place tomorrow morning. I can absolutely guarantee that is a scientific fact. Not only that but the collective intellectual value of humanity would more than double, as well as provide the planet with an abundance of nitrates and calcium that could be processed into fertilizer and used in lumber plantations.

How many new nuclear power plants should we build?

 

[JGalt]

Well damn me anyhow. I guess I picked the wrong week to get a new burn barrel. But the 115 grain 9mm did make some nice vent holes in it.
