A world that has never known the horrors of the cult of death.
My hope is that in time, Islam will be nothing but a bad dream

Over WHAT -- the contrived climate change alarmism that people of your ilk swallow like a baby magpie being beak-fed by its mother? No thanks, I'd rather expend my energy over real crises, not subtle attempts to extort billions of dollars in guilt tax from industrialized Western nations like mine.Hebe wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2019 3:12 pmDo you people have any idea of how you look expending so much energy against a child who has ideals and the guts to stand up for them? Jesus Christ, get over yourselves. If you feel so strongly, why don’t YOU get out and act, instead of sitting on your arses on the internet insulting a teenager who happens to disagree with you?
You disagree? Well, even if you believe in manmade climate change, here's what ought to send your BS-ometer needle into the red:
Total CO2 Emissions (Tons)
China 9.04 billion
United States 5.00 billion
Now guess which country got a 15-year pass on having to curb their CO2 emissions under the Paris climate accord? (Hint: Starts with a C.)
But wait, it gets better! Not only does China -- the world's biggest spewer of CO2 -- not have to reduce their emissions; they also have a free pass to do this:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/ ... e-capacityChina's appetite for coal power returns despite climate pledge
Capacity rose by 42.9GW in 18 months, far outpacing global efforts to cut use of fossil fuel
China’s growing appetite for new coal-fired power stations has outstripped plant closures in the rest of the world since the start of last year, data shows. Elsewhere countries reduced their capacity by 8GW in the 18 months to June because old plants were retired faster than new ones were built. But over the same period China increased its capacity by 42.9GW despite a global move towards cleaner energy sources and a pledge to limit the use of coal.
Meanwhile, for those who actually believe that CO2 is destroying our planet, here's how it is on my side of the pond: "The U.S. has reduced energy-related carbon emissions 14 percent since 2005." Yet the Paris agreement -- which Trump wisely decided to use for toilet paper -- required the U.S. to not only cut its emissions by another 28 percent, but pay $3 billion of our taxpayers' money to a U.N. climate fund.
https://eidclimate.org/eia-u-s-carbon-e ... tural-gas/
All of which brings me back to Greta. I might have some modicum of respect for her if the little Borg Princess were at least consistent in her outrage and intelligent about her target.
Instead, she follows the lefty script to a T, staring daggers at Trump and demanding that the United States assume its "moral responsibility" for combating climate change ... while not even troubling herself to stand on the steps of the Chinese Embassy, let alone take her environmental clown show to China.
So ... if my attitude toward Greta "triggers" you, maybe you should look for a safe space with coloring books and cuddly puppies. I know a left-wing prop when I see one, even when it comes in the form of a self-righteous teenager.
Sorry, I don't need a homework assignment. What's your point?

Re: Greta Thunberg
Per capita we’re the second largest producer of emissions in the world.

Re: Greta Thunberg
And many down the list are either third world shite holes or so overpopulated that they are killing the world with ever expanding population growth.
Population growth will destroy the planet before climate change, and is a primary contributor to climate pollution.

Fair enough. I got my info from a Climate Council report mentioned on the news yesterday. But I can’t find it on their website. Are CO2 emissions the only ones we need to be worrying about? Sorry, I’m a bit distracted lately and don’t have the time (or inclination) to spend hours looking all this up.
