You remember that time "The media" tried to communicate nuance, and it worked?
The reason you don't is because you can't. People are not equipped to receive that.
The real issue here is industry is destroying our planet, and you nitpick the media because you can't handle the real problem. Bike shedding.
- goatlover 3y agoThat's an extremely reductive take. Industry provides the economic activity for billions of people and our modern lifestyle. Clean energy will still be provided by industry, as will carbon capture and other mitigating solutions. What do you propose, going back to a preindustrial lifestyle? Do you have something better than we do that or we all die message that I'm criticizing? Bike shedding my ass.
- myshpa 3y ago> Industry provides the economic activity for billions of people Bullshit jobs 40-75%, transport & cars to those bullshit jobs, too much stuff produced we don't need, ... > as will carbon capture Not soon, no. Lookup how much is already in the air and how much is the technology able to capture. We'd need tens of thousands of such factories. We have the technology - we have trees. > going back to a preindustrial lifestyle Living sustainably != preindustrial lifestyle. > something better than we do that or we all die Doing what we've done before (= more of the bad stuff that got us where we are) will get us to the "we all die" part.
