>> Don’t be fooled. It’s mostly a distraction from what we really need to do right now: phase out fossil fuels and deploy more effective climate solutions. > This is a false dichotomy. I’m yet to find a person that claims these solutions will be enough. It’s just a piece of the puzzle. 1) That's not a dichotomy because it's an AND not an XOR. So it's not a false dichotomy. 2) "Deploy more effective climate solutions" seems awfully open-ended. How is that "a piece?" I would argue that the phrase means roughly "actually solve the problem(s)," which would also be a complete solution. > Also, replying ad hominem to an article that is ad hominem as well - people who are against CCS are people who are degrowth and just want to get rid of technology altogether. 3) Making a claim about what people believe or how they act is not an ad hominem. An ad hominem attacks the person rather than the argument. Best of luck to anyone cramming for a philosophy final next week!
