In my country, the party that proclaims the end of the world due to climate change (note how it is no longer just „global warming“) shut off the last remaining nuclear power plants, increasing lignite consumption.
Holding conflicting POVs at the same time is not a challenge for these people.
- FredPret 3y agoThey aren't conflicting points of view... because these people don't care about the climate at all. If they did, they'd be all for: - transitioning dirty fuels to natural gas - transitioning natural gas to electric - nuclear power - economic growth (green solutions are expensive and only rich people care about the environment) - dense cities But as you point out, they cherry-pick only some of these. The reason is simple... they believe in one or both of two things: - getting elected - anti-humanism The medieval Christian belief in an inherently wicked humanity (original sin) has been replaced by a modern anti-development, there-should-be-fewer-of-us mindset.
