@RustyCrab @waifu @BowsacNoodle there's a scam, but it's layered on top of a death cult that wants to reduce the human population by 99%, and the primary tactic used by this death cult is demonizing every last bit of human behavior. no serious scientist* thinks cow farts are a problem, but cows are kept by humans and enable humans to eat evil meat and dairy, so cows must be demonized

of course we shouldn't just dump actually harmful waste into the environment in volume. but the key is "actually harmful waste" and that category is a lot smaller than people have been led to believe by the death cult. there's also a discussion to be had about accepting producing waste in the short term so we can get to the point that we don't need to produce it anymore, but that's a different kettle of fish

most of what you see being released into the air these days in western countries is just water vapor. we've been offshoring our pollution for decades. as a result, it's worse than it would have been and we can't stop it anymore because it's not under our control

*note - many "climate scientists" are straight up retards who don't understand scale
