I Never Really Understood The Left's Obsession With Saving The Planet

[surada]

They sit in their EV humming kumbaya totally oblivious as to the destruction being done to manufacture the crate

Conservatives used to be conservationists..

So how has he "capitalized" on fear and rage? Did his net worth rise during the time he was President?

Absolutely not. He actually lost money during his time as President.

Aside from his biggest spending coming during the pandemic, which was a necessity at the time, did he spend many trillions of dollars on some imaginary "boogieman", like you leftists have spent on your fake "climate change" bullshit, or like you're spending on the war in Ukraine?

Absolutely not, bullshitter.

Trump spent 10 the presidential salary on golf.

 

[PredFan]

The planet is not in danger.

The planet will still exist for millennia after humans are gone.

Trump spent 10 the presidential salary on golf.

Debunked

Our rating: Missing context​

"We rate this claim MISSING CONTEXT, based on our research. References to Trump's golf trips have been well-documented throughout his presidency. The president, himself has admitted to visiting golf resorts owned by the Trump Organization while traveling abroad. But the reason for his official travel is at the discretion of the White House. Much of the costs for golf outings and resort stays are estimates. Absent that confirmation, we cannot say with certainty this number is true."

Fact check: Estimated taxpayer burden for Trump's golf outings is hard to pin down

YOU actually have MAGA blinders. You see nothing else.

I didn’t misss that you dodged the time issue!

 

[konradv]

There is no higher hatred, fear and rage than what the left dish out.

Criteria?

 

[Dante Reawakened]

Do you have any comments about how these lefty policies actually hurt the planet instead of saving it?

Go talk about bringing back coal and drilling in pristine areas, and shitting all over our national treasures for profit

 

[Billo_Really]

So we can assume you don't use fossil fuels and drive around in an electric roller skate, right?

No, I'm a gas gusler.

 

[Billo_Really]

Do you have any comments about how leftist policies don't actually save the planet after all?

No, all my comments are how leftist policies save the planet.

 

[fncceo]

Think about what you wrote. Seriously. Think about it.

The question isn't about the Left's desire to "save the planet" which, on the face of it would be a laudable goal IF, the planet actually needed to be saved, which it doesn't, OR if just adopting a Neolithic lifestyle could actually "save" the planet, which it won't.

The hard reality that obsessed people cannot face is that the world has been around for Billions of years without even noticing our existence and Will be around Billions of years after we're gone.

 

[Independentthinker]

No, all my comments are how leftist policies save the planet.

Show us one that does and we can show you how bad that policy is for the environment. Did you even read the OP?

Any sustainable energy source saves the planet. Wind, solar, nuclear. They all save the planet.

Guess you didn't read the OP. Please read it before saying stupid stuff.

 

[Matted Joybeard]

Once you strip away all the lib/con crap, the mundane chat about CO2, fires and temps in whatever span of history that didn't involve the existence of modern society and then focus upon present ecological and economic problems that are mounting, it becomes clear that there is no solving the existential polycrisis that is unraveling the world we know.

Fuck you, you little fossil fuel bitch!

 

[Independentthinker]

Fuck you, you little fossil fuel bitch!

You are a denier because you refuse to read the facts linked to in the OP.

 

[Billo_Really]

Only 25 guys believe climate change is not real!

 

[Independentthinker]

Only 25 guys believe climate change is not real!

Yes, the climate changes. Even cave people knew that. Why do you refuse to read the OP? Why are you a fact denier?

First, we have EV's to help us save the planet. Now, recharging them takes electricity and most all electricity pollutes the planet so just charging them is bad for the planet. Then we the batteries themselves:

Battery life has been one of the most pressing issues facing Tesla and the electric vehicle (EV) market as a whole. Lithium-ion batteries, which power EVs, are notoriously difficult and costly to manufacture due to the fact that they necessitate the mining of materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel.

Mining these materials comes with a considerable negative environmental impact, as it requires the use of dirty energy, utilizes massive amounts of water, and contributes heavily to land degradation.

Lithium-ion batteries are also difficult to recycle

Tesla shares a surprising revelation about how long the battery lasts in some of its most popular car models

Tesla has struggled throughout its existence to keep up with the demand for the product.

Next we have solar panels.

Solar Panels Are Starting to Die, Leaving Behind Toxic Trash

Photovoltaic panels are a boon for clean energy but are tricky to recycle. As the oldest ones expire, get ready for a solar e-waste glut.

Then we move on to nuclear power

6 reasons why nuclear energy is not the way to a green and peaceful world - Greenpeace International

With the costs and efficiency of renewable energy solutions improving year on year, and the effects of our rapidly changing climate accelerating across the globe, we need to take an honest look at some of the myths being perpetuated by the nuclear industry and its supporters. Here are six...

The planet is fine. It's a rock in space. It will always be there. It's the humans we're trying to save.

Conservatives, they seem to hate humanity with a seething white-hot blazing hatred.

Conservation used to be a thing.. clean water, no dumping toxic waste, clean air, preventing forest fires...
