Let's be real for a second. Climate change isn't going to destroy Oregon's wine-growing regions within our lifetimes. A solar farm will change it within months.

Let's be real for a second. Climate change isn't going to destroy Oregon's wine-growing regions within our lifetimes. A solar farm will change it within months. You can support or oppose solar farm bans according to your liking, but you should do so on the basis of facts. The two forces aren't even close to equal in magnitude and timing.

The “not within my lifetime so who cares” trope has been around for decades, and guess what? Climate change is happening faster than anyone imagined, mostly because scientists can only present findings on things they are certain about, which makes the predictions conservative. Most people are already seeing the impact of climate change, and if it’s not visible to you personally, it has never been easier to seek out information on those that are. If you really can’t see past your own lifetime and feel that you should be able to take whatever you want from the planet simply because you don’t need to deal with the repercussions, then you are not part of human society and are free to leave the planet at any time.

  No matter how you try to write it politely, "I don't agree with your position, kill yourself" is a shitty comment.

It's already partially responsible [1] for negatively impacting Northern California's wine growing and this year could be worse. 1. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/10/climate-change-california-power-outage/ https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/10/climate-c...

Is that supposed a joke? Solar panels are just blue squares. Other than aesthetics they do practically nothing to hurt Oregon.

Solar is going to ruin Oregon's Wine-growing region in months? Because people don't like to look at them? Absurd.
