We know that the planet is warming, we know humans are responsible for the vast majority of that change, and we know what it will mean for the biosphere and the things that depend on that, i.e you and I. I'm not sure why you think we do not. There is 20km of air between the ground and space, you can breathe in the first 5km of that. We have been pumping billions of tons of C02 into that 5km for the last 200 years, what did you thing was going to happen, nothing ?
The next bit of your post exemplifies exactly the king of thinking that brought us to this point in human history. And then you end with the silly strawmen, seriously ? Do you really think 3rd world countries are going to repeat the same mistakes, why will they build coal plants when they can have of the shelf solar plants for a fraction of the price ?
- ThomPete 8y agoI think first you need to learn what a strawman actually means. Yes the 3rd world absolutely wants the prosperity we have. You might disagree with that (and you would be hard-pressed to find many countries who don't aspire) but it's certainly no strawman. But hey keep telling yourself that so you don't have to deal with the facts. With regards to whether humans are responsible for that vast majority of the change again it's not as clear cut as I am sure you would like to portray it. None the less even if that was the case it's certainly not going to be solved by stopping countries from aspiring for more prosperity for their citizens.
