More than 16,000 scientists from 184 countries published a letter in 2017, warning that "human beings and the natural world are on a collision course." https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/05/world/climate-emergency-scientists-warning-intl-trnd/index.html Do they suggest we use more carbon neutral energy sources, or do they think raising taxes is a more effective method of reducing carbon emissions? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this though, this is some grade A level salespersonship: Barnard said the changes shouldn't be seen as "sacrifices," but as a way of "transforming things that we have found stressful." "Everything from road rage and congestion and dirty air," she said. Anyone who does not support the elimination of fossil fuels immediately supports road rage...and stress. *if 16,000 climate scientists wrote a letter in 2017, why are only 11,000 speaking put now? Have 5,000 changed their mind, or we they off somewhere enjoying a little r&r before the planet blows up in October 2030? Selfish pricks! They drowned in melted polar ice caps?

I can’t accept this answer because the topic is science. 5000 scientists don’t drown in “melted polar ice caps“, they drown in water, water is the answer. I also would have accepted Hlittle2O, and “Eaten by sad Polar Bears”. Maybe next time, less time reading about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Teen Vogue, more time getting real with a science book, mr 4mer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 These include replacing fossil fuels, cutting the emissions of climate pollutants such as methane and soot, eating less meat, restoring and protecting ecosystems, building a carbon-free economy and stabilizing population growth by investing into family-planning services and girls education. So it’s the dumb girls fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, didn't we go through this with you just a month or so ago? Tell me - do you believe that if a majority of scientists say one thing, that's it's automatically truth? Especially if they're debating a branch of science that is likely younger than you are? Those professionals who disagree do not qualify as scientists in your view?

What is it about global warming that scientists agree on? That it needs to be seriously studied and at the least make common sense changes to error on the side of caution. If there ends up being no global warming , cleaner air and water are good. Edited November 6, 2019 by ALF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/4168388002 11,000 scientists call this a climate emergency. In in my opinion, it's already too late. Here in NYState the attempt to green the energy is going to destroy national grid and the gas companies. Imagine the fall out from that? Or of a gas tax? Sadly, fighting climate change changes is a big winning issue for Republicans who see major benefits of letting the planet get destroyed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
