it wasn't supposed to be a documentary!

>>213613944 (OP)
Turned out to be fiction

I think environmentalism is a good thing, it just should be locally focused, leftist environmentalism is just global money laundering. But I'm all for jailing people who pollute rivers and forests and shit.

>>213614013
That's hate speech. Watch it.

>>213614054
It's the liberal mayors and county officials. They bring in shit like data centers and Amazon warehouses for more tax $$$.

AAAAAAAAAAAAND IF YOU TOLERATE SOMEONE OWNING A RELIABLE EARLY 2000's GASOLINE POWERED CAR THEN YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT

>It's another conservatives make up persecution fantasies rather than confront actual issues episode
Oil companies have known about man made climate change since the 70s. Ask yourself why you're parroting
>Smoking is safe and effective in moderation!
Talking points.

>grocery store bags now cost $0.10 in my state
the environment is safe

Stop noticing.

Science is truth. We're going to use the power of fossil fuels to mine and refine and create scientific solar panels which we'll then put on gigantic cargo ships to send all around the globe so they can then be placed on land that has been strip mined of all flora and fauna so that they can stop working when clouds are overhead and when birds shit on them all the while driving up the energy costs of our ngubu infested smart city utopias. Capitalism and carbon is finally going to get Thanos snapped out of existence. BOOM!

But it isn't a documentary. It's basic propaganda. It's gaslighting. It's the same old fear-porn nonsense that has been exploited and peddled for decades, but now repackaged under a new name.

>>213614054
I took a fat shit in the woods and buried the evidence. Good luck finding it. I'll fucking do it again.

Disingenuous. The top was taken during high tide, but the bottom was taken during low tide. The Statue of Liberty regularly floods, if you actually lived in New York you'd know.

>>213613944 (OP)
they didn't need to exaggerate. global warming is real, but it's not going to put Florida and Manhattan underwater. we'll lose some coastline and the weather will be more unpredictable - more violent storms, heavier flooding, colder and snowier winters. Bangladesh will probably get heemed by a cyclone again. shitty part will be mass migration driven by food insecurity and retarded politics

>>213615706
If we pay enough taxes we can save the planet, bro

It's okay the nerds are done creating new plastics and toxic chemicals to release into the wild, they're now on the case of the eponymous bovine farto!

>>213615706
they should've scared people with hoards of jeets invading new york, not a shitty animation of manhattan streets flooding
>>213615809
a carbon tax on the oil and gas industry isn't entirely retarded. funds could've gone towards developing nuke, or just anything useful. instead Trump put a halt on it for 20 more years and lowered government royalties on leased federal land and waters. have no idea why the oil and gas industry needed that. they're plenty profitable already

>>213615957
Basically they just need to do this and black out the sun and we'll all be fine in our pods.

>>213615706
It's also not Floridaman's fault.
China, India and the US make up 50% of the worlds carbon emissions as the top 3 contributors.
China on it's own is more than half of that, and it's been on a meteoric rise over the years.
Americas emissions have been dropping by 10s of %s, China and Indias are going up by 100s of %s despite China already causing more than twice as much as America to begin with.
Nothing America does matters. Soon India will surpass it into the 2nd biggest pollutant. American polution is inconsequential at this point, let alone the rest of the western world being told they need to settle for a worse quality of life.

Global warming is real and none of the larp the West does is anything but needlessly making life worse for it's residents.

>>213616006
>our pods.
easy now, you won't own the pod

>>213615991
Those taxes were never going to go toward nuclear power and you know that. It's all a scam to siphon money.
The fact they've been Chicken Little-ing about this for decades and refused to switch to nuclear showed their true cards. That and all the beachfront property being bought by elites.
I don't deny the climate changes, I just don't believe their apocalyptic gobbledygook.

Aw yeah back when they called it global warming

>>213615670
Proofs?

>>213616028
China's emission levels will probably keep rising for the next five years, but they've at least been building a lot of renewable generation. more out of necessity than anything I'd guess, but i could see their carbon emissions start to decline within the next 10 years. that country can throw up a lot of shit really fast. India would need a lot of foreign pressure to change

>>213616089
>Those taxes were never going to go toward nuclear power and you know that. It's all a scam to siphon money.
they could light the money on fire. if the tax incentived the oil and gas industry to address carbon emissions resulting from their operations it'd be a win I think

>>213616277
Are these carbon emissions in the room with us now?

>>213615511
I feel ripped off. I was promised that God would flood the world and rid us of the coastal sinners, but every year they keep existing and making our lives worse.

>>213616458
that is literally the last thing that you should be concerned about

>>213616434
Humanity has survived through so much calamity and survived. We are at our technological peak. Weather will not be the death of us.
What truly scares me is the competency crisis and society being unable to maintain complex systems.

regardless of whether or not climate change is real it’s just a massive fucking scam to make more debt slaves with carbon taxation.

True, the problem is self-correcting

The global population will be < 1 billion by the end of this century and it'll be alright.
Of course, it's not going to happen peacefully, but that's fine.

nah. nowhere even close.

I mean compared to any other period of time in history. Though I do believe we may be trending downward soon if not already.
Just looking at literacy rates and what happens in the meatgrinders that are public schools fills me with anxiety.

That's just imported third world.

>>213615706
More like human beings are horribly inept at noticing long term change. Florida is (unfortunately) not underwater but the incrementals aren't going away and by the time it becomes actually horrible you will not be able to turn back the damage done. Fucking hell it takes like 15 years to even think about building a nuclear power plant the world is so done by the time people get their shit together.

>>213618262
And blacks kids, yes. But that will be the majority when we're old and that's who will steer the ship directly into the iceberg.

>>213618370
Better kill yourself then! Seriously get a fucking grip, man.
Want to guess how many doomsday predictions have ever come true?

>>213614054
Environmentalism is absolutely based and red pilled, climate change has nothing to do with it

>>213615396
>so they can then be placed on land that has been strip mined of all flora and fauna
Photovoltaics go on buildings. Power plants use mirrors and are solar-thermal.

>>213618586
>Want to guess how many doomsday predictions have ever come true?
The Fukushima radiation leak as a result of being hit by a tsunami was predicted and nothing was done to prevent it.

>>213618961
How many people died and what were the long-term effects?

>>213616156
>India would need a lot of foreign pressure to change
Didn't they have a lot of pressure, internal and external, about how they needed to plant trees to prevent drought or erosion or something and it got vetoed?

>>213618961
>doomsday scenario
Fukushima is completely clean now, while socialist tards reactor will need new concrete bunkers for hundreds of years

>>213618874
You need to update your marketing spiel firmware, they're getting grants to put photovoltaics on farmland and other green belt areas now, which is strange because grass itself sequesters lots of CO2 and also why go in on solar when they also want to dim the sun. Science is awesome though

>>213613944 (OP)
>documentary
Laughing stock of the century.

All it proves is that people will do massive amounts of mental gymnastics to not consider the fact that the sun and the solar system have more effect on the climate than any other man-made thing in existence.

Climate change and all of its policies are just flatnout grifting and scams. Sorry.

A good documentary though if you want to see how all of these Scare Tactics turned out to be nothing burgers.

I never understood the talking points about glaciers and the Arctic circle being gone. For the vast majority of the Earth's history, there wasn't glaciers or an arctic circle. So why the fuck would it matter now if it goes away?

You did this yesterday poltard.

>>213615396
Does anyone have a legitimate argument against free energy? You could slap a bunch of panels over parking lots and they'd pay for themselves. You'd have to do some mining for the materials but it'd be way less destructive than fossil fuels in the long run. I understand that I'm replying to a polbot/mossad glowie but whatever.
