I'm just so surprised
On one hand it seems we do so many "green deals" that it's basically impossible to manufacture anything in Europe anymore, and every house has a solar panel (made in China), and there are electric cars roaming the streets
On the other hand it seems it doesn't really help?
- Toutouxc 3y ago> impossible to manufacture anything in Europe anymore > every house has a solar panel > there are electric cars [in significant amounts] Not one of these things is true.
- Yizahi 3y agoWhy are you surprised? The amount of greehouse gasses in the atmosphere is only increases, and nobody is meaningfully removing it. Of course heating will continue, even if emissions will suddenly really go to zero (which they are not).
- solumunus 3y agoThe vast majority of cars I see burn fossil fuels and I rarely see a solar panel on a house. Where are you living to have such a radically green experience?
- aaomidi 3y agoAlso, the worst polluters are militaries and various industries that arguably may or may not actually need to exist.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoThe big "4" climate change sources: - transportation - electricity generation - heating - agriculture everything else is single digit percentages. Those single digit percentages can still be massive numbers (aka a billion tons of CO2e per year for cement production), but they aren't "worst polluters".
- aaomidi 3y agoMilitary famously doesn’t get counted in these.
- D13Fd 3y agoIt's impossible to say for sure whether and how much the efforts helped, because we don't know the alternative. If we hadn't done those things, maybe the indicators would be 20% worse. Maybe 40%. Maybe 1%. We literally don't know. I do know that if you are in a car headed for a brick wall at 50 mph, taking your foot off of the gas is a good idea.
