@TeWaio said in Climate Change #3 & Other Environmental Issues:
capitalism / economic growth is the only thing that's going to generate the technological progress to solve/adapt to climate change.
This is pretty much my opinion
It's not an opinion, it's an historical fact good enough to make predictions qhen compared to every other model.

fake news!
Hate speech!
Tweet sized responses?

@jegga that is pretty cool, and a tangible and seemingly science based approach. Funding green projects to offset industry in developing countries is hopefully a way forward. And if those green projects have economic benefits like this one then let's go! This could be an actual good thing to come from the UN.

@jegga those "solutions" don't mention dismantling the Patriarchy so I can't see how they would work.

Less of the mansplaining thanks .

@No-Quarter and trees are obviously phallic!

I’d be interested in people’s thoughts on this
Excellent initiative. I look at what Ethiopia is doing in a massive attempt to restore its forests. Apparently 30% of the country was forested in the 19th century, it's less than four per cent now.
China is also involved in a massive project to prevent the expansion of the Gobi desert which is another man made issue thanks to Mao.
Then there's this bloke doing it all himself:

Phillipines and India are also in on these huge replanting projects too.
Then there’s disturbing thing

@jegga any tome you plant trees is a good idea. At least something physical is being done other than disrupting society, incessantly screaming a version of what everyone knows and simply pointing at leaders to change it all, with no coherent plan. (Same leaders that profit from tge status quo and are now going to benevolently fix it all!!)
Don't know if it'll work but infinitely better than just virtue signalling

Loved that. I spent 3yrs of my life researching stuff related to this field.
Any insights you could share?
I know very little..but at least I know I know very little, extinction rebellion and the majority of social media posts are from folk who also know very little but think they know it all. I've met one guy who is an actual climate scientist and he knows less than what these religious fanatics somehow apparently know.
It's all very confusing.

I remember a classic thread back in the day where I think it was you that systematically took Winger's arguments apart.
