Look, can I just say that this whole “net zero” and stopping all fossil fuels exploration thing is a bit of a pipe dream as currently you need it to make steel and other materials (cement, plastic, grease, solvents, synthetic clothing, wax, lubricants, etc).
Where do you people think all of this stuff (materials) comes from??? Mines. People need to consume far less, and doing that is probably going to wreck the economy, so we’re all fucked either way. I say this as a former materials scientist. It’s not as simple as stopping all oil and gas exploration, as that oil and gas isn’t just use for petrol and coal fired power stations, but many other industries too. Most people (leftists) don’t seem to realise that at all. They need to use less hair dye, get less piercings, less tattoos, less jewelry.
I already know that we’re going to miss all our targets. Because of basic human nature. People are too hooked on consumerism. People won’t even stop their car engines idling when they are parked. Stopping cattle farms won’t work as farmers will be more likely to simply sell up and the land that once had grass and trees on and it will then get developed for housing instead of being turned back into native forests.
We’re already on a set path, our entire civilisation has been built up on consumerism (which relies on fossil fuels, mines, and deforestation). Even if you buy services instead of products, you never know what other people are going to spend their money on.
I think leftists have singlehandedly taken (set back) the environmental movement back about 10 years I’d say. Because it became to woke, too much about political correctness. The best thing leftists can do today to help in the fight against climate change is to make their “movement” (if you want to call it that; it behaves more like a cult today) about the environment again.
Abandon all this complete woke nonsense. Forget gender. Forget trannies. Forget foreigners (I like cultures, I like languages, but islam not so much… I wonder why).
Forget wars. Forget illegal immigration. Forget victim inversion. Forget people altogether. Forget globalisation. Forget cancel culture. Forget deplatforming. Forget lawfare. Forget debanking and bankrupting people who you don’t agree with. You need to refocus your efforts. And take some of what the you keep calling “the far right” is saying on board. Because just as their are patterns in climate data, there are patterns with other cultures too, and not all cultures have equal set of priorites and values, and the sooner leftists realise that, the sooner we can all get back to caring about the planet again.
Leftists need to be able to convince conservative people that biodiversity is in decline, because a lot of them are in complete denial too. And calling them “racists”, “nazis” or “islamophobes” at each and every opportunity, wishing the bullet hadn’t missed trump and joking about that within your own circles is certainly not helping your cause in any way whatsoever.
We’re fucked!
