You know what the difference is between the climate crisis and the ozone layer that the author of that video so thoughtlessly compares? We learned of the ozone layer, and the entire world banded together and stopped using the products that caused it. We’ve known about climate change for longer than we did the ozone layer. We know definitively what causes it. Yet, in all of that time, none of the causes have gone down. Fossil fuels? Used at record levels every year. Cattle? More and more every year.
I’m still watching the video, so I may edit with more thoughts, but that was just a GARBAGE comparison to start off with. If we wanted to do the same with climate change as we did with the ozone, we’d NEED to degrow the economy. Activists have been and are talking about this, for decades now. This isn’t doomerism. It’s a wake up call. There’s no magic solution for climate change. There is only one solution at all: STOP USING FOSSIL FUELS AND ENGAGING IN MASS ANIMAL
GENOCIDEAGRICULTURE. That’s it. If we do that, we survive. If we don’t, we don’t. The same is if we hadn’t banned CFCs, the ozone hole would be bigger.Edit: already, he’s ignoring the growth of natural gas because coal is going down.
I had more written for another edit, but I’m not even going to finish this video. This is ridiculous. Yeah, blame 8 billion individuals, the majority of which live in massive poverty and have little to no Choice where they get their products, who are overworked and underpaid, scraping by by the skin of their knees. Yes, it’s their fault that they have no choice in their lives other than to sell themselves into serfdom or starve on the streets, not the systems that fail to provide safety nets, livable wages, adequate regulations, or even basic human rights to many of its people. It’s the Paupers fault for buying from the Prince, not the Kings fault that he allowed the Prince to crush all of his competition and create such conditions in the first place. What a hack.
You just want to continue dooming so that you can only cry and be angry at the world, because nothing can fill the void in your life other then anger and sadness.
Nah, I just get tired of idiots like that fellow putting out blatant misinformation and slanted coverage. Dude is harming society with his content if even one person believes that drivel.
Fun fact, I don’t have a “void In my life”, I have young family that are growing up in this world, and they’ve got idiots like you trying to ensure they don’t have a livable climate when they grow up. That’s where my anger comes from, and why I will never sit down and shut up. Idgaf if you personally have a livable climate. From your posts here, neither do you. I do care about children suffering because people like you refuse to take this thing seriously and believe in techno-capitalist hopium.
The IPCC report is actually outdated and conservative in its estimates. It definitively asserts that even were all currently committed to climate goals met, which they aren’t, billions of people will suffer.
