You know, I'm maybe of the unpopular opinion around these parts in that I think human activity can add to climate change and that we should be looking at ways we can reduce carbon emissions as a matter of prudence.
But I simply can't take things like this seriously because these people don't seem to be really serious about it. Their plans always involve racketeering schemes into projects that don't work like Solyndra that harm everyone. Globalists vs. people again. Solar and wind are pipe dreams. Period. The choices we have with just solar and wind are business as usual, extremely punishing taxes and regulatory schemes, or reducing our standard of living by a lot.
It's a joke because the new generation of liquid thorium nuclear reactors produce very minimal waste and one of those takes ten coal plants offline. They emit no carbon either. But the stupid greens and liberals don't want them because they're scared and nuclear = baaaaad. Meanwhile we're such dopes that Washington finances India to develop the reactors and actually builds them for them so they don't become a coal burning monster like China, but we won't invest in our own damn infrastructure and piss that money away on bullshit solar and wind programs.
Like Trump said in Crippled America: solar and wind are scams. They take decades just to recoup their costs. Solar and wind are simply not energy dense enough for an economy like ours and to maintain high standards of living. Nuclear is the only presently foreseeable alternative to fossil fuels.
If they were serious about curbing emissions they would agree to replace coal plants with liquid thorium reactors and on safe and improving waste disposal measures. Then in the long term they would finance a multinational effort to bring nuclear fusion power plants online sooner, rather than in the latter half of the century.
But they don't do this. They just talk and make agreements that help absolutely nobody except maybe the Saudis and the other shitty sheiks who will keep selling us their oil and financing terrorism only now we'll have to pay an added tax and go through more bullshit regulations for the favor.
TL;DR, I'll believe that manmade climate change is as serious a threat as they say it is when they don't involve punishing solutions that don't really work anyway.
