Banning ICE and replacing them with EV won't reduce emissions at a first place. It will just move them around. Case and point: Germany.
Banning meat won't reduce emissions, it will just move them around into making fake meat.
Killing unproductives won't reduce emissions, because their bodies decompose and captured carbon will return back to atmosphere.
All this thread, including GP is pointless, because there is currently no solution for excess CO2 in atmosphere and every attempt to reduce it will only increase it (see carbon capture devices). Therefore there is no reason to restrict quality of life of average citizen.
- Timon3 4y agoWhy are you suddenly switching to a different topic? You made pretty strong claims about bans on new ICEs will lead to "killing of unproductives". Are you admitting that you were deliberately hyperbolic and attempting to derail the conversation? Or do you seriously believe in your previous points?
- cassepipe 4y agoWow I really admire how cool minded and topic focused you've remained in the whole thread. I wish I can do that one day.
- Timon3 4y agoOh man, thank you so much! I was never good at it myself, so this means a lot :) I've learned that the best way to engage these discussions is to take your partner as seriously as they say they want to. You cannot counter these things with facts, as facts aren't their own basis. Instead you engage seriously and let themselves display the problems in their logic. A big influence for me has been the streamer Vaush.
- TheLoafOfBread 4y agoI did not switched a topic, I showed you how pointless this thread is, because it does not matter what you do you can't reduce CO2. Everything is on point.
- Timon3 4y agoAm I understanding you correctly that your new point is "humanity can't influence the amount of CO2 added to the atmosphere"? It's very different from the previous points, so I'd like your confirmation before engaging.
