Global Warming Discussion (31 Viewers)

It’s easy to blame China like everything else, but China have expanded their renewable energy production 300% in the last 15 years. The USA has increased by about 100% in the same time frame. And their per capita fossil fuel usage is still lower than the US.
Also, plastic waste polluting the oceans and killing marine life is an issue separate from global warming.

Anybody who believes this just proves you’re lacking common sense.

Money makes every decision in this world.

Are you serious?

Are you serious?

Are you honestly asking me if I'm serious?

Yeah, I had the same reaction.

I can't tell if you're citing something or making a joke.

Damn, my bad.

Agree, but on the flip side you have companies like ExxonMobil who lobbied and ran a marketing campaign of climate change denial despite their own internal scientists and funded research concluding that man made climate change was real back in the 70s. Or for example BP creating the "carbon footprint" PR campaign that accepts man made climate change as a reality but aims to shift blame from the fossil fuel industry to the individual consumer.

Same as with those tobacco companies that lobbied and fought for years against the links between smoking and lung cancer.

Thank you for smoking is a great movie.
The Insider is more gritty and realistic but also recommended.

I love that movie.

After 80% population drop in 4 years, Alaska cancels snow crab season in unprecedented move

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/10/14/alaska-snow-king-crab-disappear/10496997002/

Alaska is the fastest warming state in the US, losing billions of tons of permafrost and ice a year. The crabs need colder water to survive and flourish. Speculation is their moving farther north or off the continental shelf. Last year's crab harvest was the smallest in 40 years.
