China and climate change

We're taxed to the bones because of this boll@x they call "climate emergency".

It's all the same bowlox as the virus or new variant 'emergency' - to scare the gullible and keep them down. Same with recycling, diversity, etc, etc - they pump this shoite out as blanket propaganda until the majority let it become embedded in their heads. Then job done - it's like a new religion and the shee, sorry disciples go out out there to try to shame the unconverted into becoming as gullible as them. It's always the same formula, and it always works on the unthinking majority.

For example, some years ago used to laugh at a friend and his Mrs (actually it was mostly the Mrs) who became evangelical about recycling as they had allowed themselves to be conditioned. They recycled everything, and I mean everything. They had about 8 bins in the utility room to sort all this stuff. It seemed to form an important part in their lives. Then a scandal emerged that the local council was re-combining all the sorted recycling and dumping it in landfill. :ROFLMAO:

2. How much CO2 a volcanic eruption generates? (More than we do in a year)
Yeah, you're not even close. Volcanos drop about 1/60th or less CO2 into the atmosphere that we do each year.

6. Most importantly, why don't you challenge "emerging countries" that are polluting 99% of the environment and instead you tax me because I don't drive a prius?
Again, your numbers are pretty far off. The US produces 15% on its own. If you classed everywhere other than the UK as an emerging country then you'd be right.

Priuses are so last decade. Nissan Leaf or Teslas are the green vehicle of choice.

It's depressing how many of the 'im being oppressed by the vegans!' crowd fail to pay any attention to what's going on in the world.
 
Wildfires have burned for very many of the millenia since the coal was laid down. Indeed, that coal seam was no doubt laid during a wildfire.

How deep is your confidence in your beliefs?
Probably not, since you get coal from decomposing plant matter, not burning it.

Coal takes millions of years, millennia are thousands of years, you mean kilo mellenia or perhaps millions of years since the coal started to form.

It doesn't matter whether you believe in anthropogenic climate change, or not.
What does matter is that it is not right to just gobble up the planet, because we can.

Waste less, consume less, be tidy. Be considerate.
 
What is the downside to taking action to deal with climate disruption?

Trouble is, it's all a bit schizo now. We've been rebranded as consumers rather than citizens or subjects. We're encouraged to consume more and more (witness the panic when the economy dips due to consumption dropping), but at the same time told to use fewer resources. o_O Western society thinks itself virtuous because it recycles it's Pringles tubes and Nespresso capsules, but in reality it's really the most wasteful and energy hungry generation in history. Too much hypocrisy to take all this seriously.
