Carbon Schmarbon.

We can use all the CO2 we can pour on.
You're a fucking idiot.

Not an argument, just a statement. No arguing to be had with someone so ignorant, selfish and short sighted. You'd burn down your own house if it would take your enemy with you. You're no different than a suicide bomber.

How many children do you have? Idc about the atmosphere (neither do you in practice) but growing population and growth based economics will doom any sort of pie in the sky dream. You are delusional if you think otherwise. If you cared about the environment (which I don't btw) then having children is literally the worst thing you can do for it. This is non debatable.

Seems a little extreme.
Dude doesn’t find kleptocracy disguised as faux humanitarianism to be a just form of rulership, so he’s a suicide bomber?
A couple of steps might have been skipped in the rendering of that analysis.

I was responding to "Carbon Schmarbon. We can use all the CO2 we can pour on." That's a suicide pact. As is Daralon's witty recommendation.

My witty recommendation is the hard reality. If you don't care about the environment, fine. Most don't. If you do, that is what you need to do and convince others to do. All this other shit is window dressing. I doubt you'd convince others, but I would at least be impressed by your convictions. Most of environmentalism boils down to:

"Someone should invent something!"

"This thing is bad but I still do it. Other people shouldn't do this thing I do!"

No, it's not. It's stupid at best, venal in the middle, and viscous at it's worst. It says "I don't give a fuck about the world I leave behind me as long as I get to do exactly what I want". Same as a suicide bomber.

Climate denial is the same as 'cigarettes cause cancer' deniers, in many cases it's the exact same people.

What are you doing about it? Are you consuming less? Hell no. Lol, you said you own multiple fucking properties. Why not tear them down and return the land to the Earth? Once they are occupied by tennants, they will use electricity from the grid and cause more gases to be emitted. Are you having less children? Again, the answer is no. Are you wasting electricity and creating greenhouse gases by posting on this frivolous forum? Yes. You are not even willing to go without this forum or youtube. You waste electricity on fucking Spartacus and Netflix. You probably drive when you could walk, you want the best life possible for you and I'm sure you want your kids to live even better than you did. So again, how is "not caring about the environment" more moral than "caring about the environment but doing absolutely jack shit in actually changing your behavior?" Seriously, explain to all of us the steps you take in reducing population or eliminating growth based economy. I'll bet your carbon footprint is bigger than mine. How many cars do you own? Do you share a car with your wife? Do you carpool to work? Do you ever consider that going to Wal Mart for toilet paper is more environmentally destructive than taking a shit in your yard and wiping your ass with a handful of grass?

This is why environmentalism is such a joke. You don't do a fucking thing different than some random buster on the street who drives a diesel truck and works in an oil refinery, but you act like you are on some moral high ground over him because he hasn't seen An Inconvenient Truth. You implore scientists to invent some magic wand that will change the laws of thermodynamics, but you probably run your A/C when the outside temp gets above 70 degrees. You use every plastic product that is available, just like everyone else, and you eat shit that is flown or sailed across the world just like everyone else because you can't be bothered to garden.

If you have children, then you are not an environmentalist.

What have I said that isn't true?

You are the one in denial my friend.
