    A generation’s fault =/= the fault of every individual in that generation

        Except it literally is the fault of like 30 people. We can directly pinpoint the cause of the problem onto the actions of specific individuals.

          Everyone else could have voted for regulation to prevent them from doing those things. You can’t just expect corporations to not do evil if you allow them to. They’re heavily incentivized by the system to be as evil as possible. The solution is to limit the amount of evil they’re allowed to do.

    It’s so funny how OP and people like him took the bait from the big capitalists and now are complaining about old dudes that never had any power instead of the ones that had and have real power.

    They have no clue that in the future they are the ones who will have fingers pointed at

    Maybe for boomers generation we should bring back throwing the elderly off cliffs, then stop. It’ll make future generations wary of the tradition returning. 🤔

    It’s really not the fault of any individual. Well okay yes it is, but it’s like 200 individuals at the very upper echelons of society.

    One thing I’m unsure of is whether warming is so bad because a) planet was warmer multiple time in prehistory and it led to abidance of life b) we live in interglacial period and if that perid ends we are going to fight much worse calamity and need much more energy. Even getting out could become life threatening.

    On the other hand Venus situation is also not ideal.

      disclaimer: opinion here ofc deciding if it is bad depends very much on the viewpoint. But yourself as a human should probably view it from the viewpoint of mankind in general. And then, yes, it is undoubtably bad. It is going to cost humankind an unimaginable amount of money and it’ll increase inequality and unfairness in unimaginable amounts. That’s also why there are so many people denying or not believing it. A lot of humans are uninformed or unable to grasp the issue on a logical level simply because of the scale of the issue.

        Is it though? There are scientists who claim golf stream will stop but also that it won’t. There are scientists claiming that warmer temperature will cause horrible food shortages etc but others who say it will also create better enviroment for plants (warm + CO2) which among others are main source of nutrition for humans and animals consumed by humans. It might even extend tropical life rich waters. Human understanding came far but it’s still lacking. I’m all for nature preservertion but is building huge wind plants in middle of mountains forest gonna safe us or have any effect as oppose to negatively affecting nature?
        We need reason and not sensationism to drive these changes, IMHO.

          I didn’t get notification but i cannot let stand your statement. You’re just wrong. Pretty much all of scientists agree that it is unimaginably worse than good. Trying to argue about that is just yourself coping with denying the issue at hand.

      Speed of change.

      Natural climate changes happen over tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years

      Not tens to hundreds of years.

    The “okay boomer” era of the internet came and went. Idiotic to blame climate change on an 80 year old person when we know exactly who paid for and then covered up the data suggesting manufacturing and transportation was harming the planet and ourselves.
