This is true Mart, but the population has to half for the Earth to be sustainable long term. Half was plucked out of the air, of course.
15 minute cities for a starter ,And saying he might have had a point is being kind.
How exactly is it helping "them" control our lives?
It's conspiracy theory bollox that people tell themselves because they don't like the alternative thought that we're screwing the planet.
Or I mean I suppose all these green political parties could be part of a shadowy sinister organisation really running the show and the likes of the Tories and republicans and all the other far right climate denying fruitcakes are those who are really fighting the good fight to keep our "freedoms" intact from the green fascists.
It's a tricky one
Oh dear...
I read this this morning. A good short read about Climate change, confirmation bias etc.I have a low tolerance for stupidity, this thread has been a great way to filter some of that out, that’s another two on the ignore list.
Now, I know someone will cry ‘but surely listening to different voices is good’ or ‘free speach’, agreed where the comments are no complete
nonsense that have published science behind them. Can’t be bothered having my life polluted with people that have just decided scientists are wrong without actually doing any experiments to prove otherwise.

Everybody has the challenge of confirmation bias, agreed. But on this topic, the evidence is overwhelmingly in support of man made or at least heavily influenced climate change. There's loads of stats on it. There are hypothesis from skeptics, but no repeatable experimentation that proves man made climate change to be incorrect.I read this this morning.

Hit them in the feels: confirmation bias and the emotional component of reason - The Skeptic
We may see ourselves as rational, but we are all prone to judging ideas based on how well they agree with what we already think
That paper is about Philosophical Skepticism which relies on empirical evidence and peer reviewed papers. Not the type of people who believe in conspiracy theories such as MMR vaccines causing autism. It is aimed at people who only believe the science when it suits their viewpoint. LIke this:-
Who said I believe in any conspiracy? Who said I only believe science when it suits my viewpoint?. You're making alot of assumptions about me there, you follow what you want and I will make my own opinions on things.
I like to refer back to what the Romans did when Hadrian's Wall started looking a bit shabby.
Who's talking about smoking? Wow I've really got some people mad on here by not agreeing with you
, I've got my own opinion on things that's how the world works unfortunately.
Right message, wrong timeframe
I remember in the 70s, showing my age here, that the world was entering a nice ice age due to fossil fuels, then it was global warming due to carbon emissions now its climate change , well guess what the climate always changes so they ain't wrong anymore.
Under 40I remember in the 70s, showing my age here, that the world was entering a nice ice age due to fossil fuels, then it was global warming due to carbon emissions now its climate change , well guess what the climate always changes so they ain't wrong anymore.
I'm guessing most people on this board are under 40 and too young to remember the amount of ***** these so called scientists have spouted over the years.
Fact is reducing this co2 and spending trillions and trillions on carbon lowering machines etc whatever is just gonna make certain people more rich and do sweet **** all to the giant ball of mud that we have lived on for 300000 years of the 4 billion its been here
Well how long will it take cos I can only keep my fridge open for so long
Nobody. I said people who only believe the science when it suits their viewpoint and, unless I've read it wrong, in the piece I quoted you mention scientists three times and you seem to believe the science the first two times but not the third when It doesn't align with what you already believe. I apologise if I am wrong.
Yes your wrong I was just quoting the science also says the earth's 4 billion years old, so the science is always contradictory, it's all just theories at the end of the day. Nobody really knows anything about this planet and let's face it we won't in our life times.
