I genuinely don't know if you believe this, or you're just repeating a talking point you've heard that somehow makes "your team", the "this isn't happening" team, the "scientists are conspiring to lie to us" team, the "Chinese hoax" team, seem morally superior. But on the assumption this isn't just about spewing political catchphrases at people, you're wrong and the person you are replying to is correct. You've absorbed the subtext of climate change denial propaganda, which says "this isn't happening, if it is happening it's not our fault, if it is our fault then it's not so bad, if it is bad then the alternative is worse, and finally, it was your fault anyway". Specifically, we're on those last two steps. Dealing with climate change isn't expensive. Dealing with climate change denial is very expensive. Anyone telling you that we all have to make sacrifices and go back to the stone age because solar, wind, EVs, eating less meat or whatever is impossibly hard, is lying to you. Just internalize the external costs and we'll have lots of cheaper power. The only real problem is trying to co-ordinate everyone when some people are very prone to believing obvious lies and people can profit from that at the expense of everyone else. |
What "catchphrase" am I even repeating? I feel like you didn't even read what I wrote lol. Like, do you honestly think the only way I could come to that opinion was if I was parroting some talking point? No, I have just met way too many fake activists who clearly only care so long as the only effort they have to put in is criticizing other people, while doing nothing in their personal lives to solve the problem.
I think we do have a pollution problem, I also think we have a hypocrite problem. I take issue with fake people preaching down to people while doing nothing themselves.
You can believe whatever you want about me bc of it, I couldn't care less
