Saving humanity from climate collapse is not political

I mean its also not possible to save humanity from fossil fuel induced runaway climate catastrophe, I just applaud anyone willing to take extreme measures in that pursuit. No hubris whatsoever lol

"Saving humanity from the sins of the west and their ideological indoctrination is also not political. "

  • Osama Bin Laden (probably)

Just call it what it is then say it's justified if you think it is. If you can dress this up as not terrorism then nothing is.

One is literally happening outside as we speak, one is based upon an extremist interpretation of a 2000 year old book. Can you spot the difference?

The existence of God is unfalsifiable, so you can't say it's untrue to the believer. Just make the rules and play by them. Also it's more like 1500 years ago 🤓.

The idea of climate change and it's causes IS falsifiable though, which is why taking actions related to that cause is a bit different than something that has no way to be proven.

🤷 Guess we'll just have to let oil companies keep killing us all.

In which scenario do you think that you're gonna live for longer and/or with a higher quality of life.

  • Mass blowing up and destruction of fossil fuel infrastructure
  • The status quo

Think about the implications of each scenario and let me know.

I think you're an idiot if you think it's the status quo. Even if we stopped producing fossil fuels tomorrow its too late to undo what we've already set in motion anyway.

[–] spookedbyroaches@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If we stopped producing fossil fuels tomorrow, you don't think they're gonna be mass famines and global economic collapse?

We depend so much already on fossil fuels. The solution is to invest more into renewables and plastic alternatives, not to rip it out without proper work to avoid disaster.

I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that I could be swayed either way. I think climate collapse is inevitable and out of human hands at this point. Have a nice life pal ✌️
