bro what are you talking about
I am actually a bit curious to know how you went from climate activist, to thinking that a LNG conference is good 🤔
Some rich people will always profit from change; some profit from keeping things the way they are. The machinations of (m/b)illionaires is important to understand, but doesn't affect empirical reality.
I feel like you want to make a point, but are avoiding it. The billionaires, paid activism, people having agendas... these are all accessory to the important questions of e.g. does CO2 increase atmospheric energy retention? ...
"CO2 = plant food." Sure, as is NPK & water. But you don't deny that increased CO2 increases solar heat retention, increases ocean acidity and
decreases human cognition?
For example, it seems you think it would be good for more humans to exist. Why? How many more?
What about the rest of life on earth, considering most people on earth want to increase their material wealth?
the Forbes article: first, I think there is *no* consensus about geoengineering or carbon capture and storage like you say. It could make sense to cut and store wood as described, but unless it was much better argued than in the article, I would say it's a bad idea.
I get the feeling you are much more sure "the climate agenda" is wrong than I think it is correct; that you think it is more unified, and I think it diverse
Also, if you could reply in one thread, it would make it easier to talk.
I gave you no promise of response rate.
it seems you have a sufficiently large prejudice against people living in the north/west that I'm not going to be able to gain your confidence.
I think it might be better for me to switch medium and do a call, would that be something for you?
In any case: bad people holding an idea does not make that idea bad. Ideas must be talked about on their own merit, not attacked ad hominem, and you are smart enough to know that.
Which bit of the climate "agenda" do you take issues with?
Also interested to hear about your climate activism more generally.
Look, I am an anarchist.
I guess you are talking about how the mainstream thinks that green = "green growth", electric cars, etc. In my mind, the global North/West absolutely needs to consume way less and, like you say, stop being the worlds jailers.
I appreciate you liked my calendar-wheel diagram years ago, but I really don't appreciate your periodic, bad-faith and ungrounded snarks
talk or stop or block
