Buffarukus Posted June 23, 2022 Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) been watching this guy for a bit. not sure if hes a huckster or what but he certainly seems to pull up alot of very old news articles and scientific studies/graphs. i live in buffalo and see a diff in the winters from when i was a kid but also know that gov seem a more concerned with human behavior which is relatively small contributor and less involved in changing the fundamental of industrial contributions. simply buying and selling carbon coupons like baseball cards while allowing foreign powers to ignore it all which everyone agrees will negate ANYTHING we do. in the end covid really destroyed any confidence the scientific consensus narrative has. of coarse leftists that went full steam authoritarian don't blink a eye at the economic damage they authorized. not sure where they can say anything on these types of topics and expect credibility. makes you wonder if opposition has been silenced for a long time. i think we should stop our economy from collapsing first any means necessary. its kind of important too. check him out and see what you think. has a library of vids full of "misinformation" Edited June 23, 2022 by Buffarukus

aristocrat Posted July 14, 2022 Posted July 14, 2022 Why don't we have a national recycling program? A worldwide one? Why don't we force companies to make more high quality products instead of ***** ones that last short periods? Especially wood furniture. Nuclear power as well. Instead we just talk about ev's.

Expand Like anything else, I'd assume it ultimately comes down to money. Cheap junk needs to be replaced more often, so the consumers buy more. Nuclear has been regulated to the point where its almost impossible to build a new plant. But electric vehicles are new on the mass market. There's still large amounts of financial gain to be made, especially at twice the cost or more of a conventional vehicle. You just need to convince the public that the enviro-apocalypse will occur if they don't make the switch. Thats not to say there arent some real environmental issues underpinning it, but most of the nuts leading the charge at the policy and business level stand to make a fortune off it. 1 1
