The little ice age was not an actual ice age, and it was a tiny blip on the global average temperature charts compared to where we're headed right now. Have you seen any of those charts? I have no idea how you could still claim "this is normal and has happened before" after you've seen them.

If you think this is a ploy for control, please tell me, who do you think is attempting to control who here? Because the people usually accused of that kind of thing (governments and billionaires) are the ones doing frustratingly little to admit and tackle the problem, and they are the only ones who actually could produce meaningful change.
@TIEPilot @hikaru755
China and India don't pollute much per person.
But the point is we need to continue developing clean energy so that it is the best economic choice so that other countries use it.
"China and India don't pollute much per person"
Not accurate, its easy to divide up the industrial waste on the common folk (per person). Ive been to China, its horrid. Makes Buffalo in the late 1970's seem green.
Nuclear, then batteries that are made from more common and easier materials that can be safely recycled.
@TIEPilot
"Not accurate"
You're simply wrong.
Yeah well thats like your opinion, man.
@TIEPilot they pollute less per capita than almost every other developed country.
The fact is, this nonsense is rooted in racism and is frankly disgusting.
What is the per capita carbon emissions in China and what is it per capita in your country?
I'll help, it's 7.8metric tonnes per capita in China.
What country are you from?
EDIT: Oh and it's a paltry 1.74metric tonnes per capita in India.
Ah yes the CCP bot has been ID'ed
1.41 billion * 7.8 = 10,998,000,000
335 million * 13 = 4,355,000,000
Still making less
You've just independently derived the meaning of "per capita". Congrats!!
Per capita is what matters mate.
Let's not forget that they're also making literally everything you use too. If you made that in your own country their emissions would drop off a cliff and yours would rocket lmao.
Stop being so intellectually dishonest. You're not thick, why pretend to be?
Previously you said CO2 isn't an issue so why are you even bringing up India and China's pollution levels if you don't think pollution is to blame for any of this?
Furthermore how can you claim the current trend is a 'nano blip' while we're still in the 'blip?' This is like being able to predict when a stock is at its lowest or at its peak, which requires you to know the future.
