Ask HN: Why don't we talk about climate change more on HN?
- jppope 7y agoMainly because it borders on politics. Political articles will get flagged and removed.
- goodcanadian 7y agoI've seen and even participated in quite a few climate change discussions recently. I would suggest that it is a well covered topic.
- h2odragon 7y agoI'd agree that there's enough coverage already, and that discussing it is hard anyway. Both ends of the spectrum of opinion have faith based outlooks; the ditinction between discussion and argument is hard for them to make. Why does a hacker forum need more discussion of this? Can't we discusses computer shit here and let the climate change debates happen elsewhere where people are actually more interested in that focus?
- sigmaprimus 7y agoI'll bite, I'm pretty sure climate change is taking a back seat to the clear and present danger of Wuhan Fever. I have seen a few new stories regarding climate change on HN but they haven't gotten enough traction. I wonder if this is a subtle part of the human phyce, what would happen if a person that is terrified of both roller coasters and clowns is forced to be seated on a coaster ride next to a clown?
