Up to you, do you care about global Co2 levels or not? The rate of Co2 emissions is itself increasing y-o-y. We're still accelerating.

- akira2501 3y agoI care to know what a reasonable upper limit is. It is the height of western arrogance to say "it's currently 400ppm, we already got ours, and so it cannot go /any/ higher, which means everyone else has to pay for out past extravagance." If we're truly that concerned about it, then we need to get to work on carbon capture and conversion, and do our part to be carbon negative so that non industrialized areas of the world have an opportunity to catch up. And this isn't just about industrialization, it's about quality of life, it's about longevity, it's about wealth. Pretending that CO2 is the only concern leaves everything else on the floor. And without any diplomacy, this is the kind of policy that starts wars. Up to you if you actually want to solve the problem in the long term or not. So, again, what's an acceptable upper limit?
- mjburgess 3y agoI dont know. i dont care very much. the question is just the one you have proposed, in your colonialist defence of the colonies.. yes, indeed, it lies with what we believe of them in otherwords, our own deindustrialization is irrelevant
