@jeffcliff @Hoss @Dudebro @AidanTTIerian @Aly @James_Dixon @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @gentoobro Jeff -- I want you to know that I endorse nuking New Delhi, Mumbai, Bombay, and Calcutta (to name but a few) to save our Mother Earth.

>The point he's making is why should I have to stop eating meat

There's a straw man right there. If the choice is between 'people go without meat' and 'ban private jets' absolutely, ban private jets first by a mile. But that is a false dichotomy. This thread is mostly not that question - this thread is mostly between people who don't believe climate change is even real, and even if it was that we shouldn't do *anything* about it. The "what to do" part is a work in progress, of course but if you want to go into that that's better topic for another thread where detail s can actually be hashed out

> If the climate is truly the existential threat they say it is, the top of the pyramid should be making sacrifices before we do.

They are. That's why they are funding controlled opposition against climate taxes in countries like canada - because they are paying more than 0$ while average people are getting significant carbon credits to offset the *chance* that they might pay some carbon tax. ( There's problems with canada's approach of course - methane and forest fires should be more included in the calculations. But getting there requires people understand that climate change is real in the first place, and that we are having a hand in it )

:doubt: sounds like FUD to me
certainly isn't true in canada

> Banning private planes is such low-hanging fruit.

It's more extreme than what we're doing (mildly taxing them and others who use more than a typical family uses)

The point he's making is why should I have to stop eating meat when the 0.1% are not only not going without, but becoming even more decadent in their consumption with each passing year? If the climate is truly the existential threat they say it is, the top of the pyramid should be making sacrifices before we do.

Your gas-powered lawnmower will flood the earth, but Jeff Bezos' superyacht and private jets are fine because he bought carbon credits or something.

@Hoss @gentoobro @Dudebro @Aly @James_Dixon @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @jeffcliff What our mentally-challenged friend fails to consider is this kind of shit - why are the policies implemented to address "global warming" always the ones that cause the most economic harm, livelihood reduction, & general inconvenience to average White people, with the least reductions in CO2? Banning private planes is such low-hanging fruit.

Don't you know? Cow farts and middle-class car exhaust only makes the weather worse. It never greens deserts or tops up hydro reservoirs.

Because of 8th grade physics.

But, the global warming alarmist argument isn't so naive. They claim that the glaciers on top of land are also melting, which would be analogous to you adding another ice cube to your already full glass.

Their estimates of glacier volume are way off, of course. They don't account for new snowfall due to changes in weather patterns. They also wildly overestimate how much of this landlocked ice would actually melt; imagine thinking that any significant part of Greenland is going to melt because it got 1C warmer. Or 10C warmer. On average.

I would like to see the study on rising atmospheric temperatures vs rising humidity offset for how much the oceans would rise since I highly doubt the scientists ever actually account for that.

@BowsacNoodle @jeffcliff @Hoss @Dudebro @AidanTTIerian @Aly @James_Dixon @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @gentoobro there's a non-zero chance that we may "accidentally" incinerate Jeff. I don't think I want to do that -- the world would be a much less entertaining place without him.
