    Yeah, I was drinking coffee. It’s some guy complaining about a tree he planted in 1992 or something and how he needs to cut it down because it’s encroaching on his fence and then there’s footage of Nanci Pelosi talking about the Global sustainability initiative in 1992 and then some guy that looks like he belonged to Heaven’s Gate cult talking about a global conspiracy to control population and eliminate American citizens sovereignty by creating biosphere reserves and ties in Covid 19 somehow. Of course I’m paraphrasing but that’s the gist of it.

    So incomprehensible nonsense? Seems on-brand for SB.

    I'd suggest drinking espresso.

    Yes, I’m still not sure what the point of the linked video was let alone what Scotty’s intent was posting it. It’s like he’s trying to highlight this segment of society’s stupidity and ignorance. It’s just pointless jibberish.

    wait but it is true that carbon offsets are pretty useless- the real need is to reduce tco2 carbon generation, offsets are slippery AT BEST and i say this as an owner of a biz that achieves "carbon neutrality" by purchasing offsets.

    and it is true that most of our recycling was simply being exported to china as effectively garbage for them to dispose of, on boats that were doing dead legs anyways to load up more TCUs of containers of shit to ship right back to us. and i say that as a business owner importing dozens of 40'HC containers each year.

    glass and metals are recyclable, and only a few select plastics and only in highly sophisticated facilities that the majority of the country's waste does not have access to. plenty of places are just taking the blue bin and dumping it into the dump with the rest of the trash.

    a carbon tax, however, would be really really effective. it would require passing large parts of the intake back to the population to offset the price increase on goods. but the tax would disproportionately affect extractive industries who just so happen to be the mega wealthy so it barely takes two neurons to understand why it doesnt get seriously discussed, even tho an good faith policy wonk could write the policy on a single page

    Are u guys still arguing about climate change?


    Wake up- marketing scheme…dollar bills, dollar bills.


    Yeah there is a problem but are they doing something about it or manipulating you to sell something? Some companies are legit! Due ur own deligence, most of it is marketing and propaganda…..


    Yes we need to collectively make a change but that’s not going to work for corporations. Buy-buy-buy. Corporations, government and shareholder backed solutions are for you to buy some sort of new idea/product/scheme…the greenback always come first in this manipulative dirty world.

    I believe in climate science therefore i take all carbon tax, offset etc schemes at face value. All of it 100% legit and 100% effective. No question.

    All I can hope for is that these dumb-asses are young enough so that in time they will realize how wrong and stupid they were.
    I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

    I loved talking about the weather and everybody else used "talk about the weather" as a punchline for boring conversation, but I still love talking about the weather and WHO'S BORING NOW??

    While a lot of NA coastline is lined with the temporary abodes of the upper classes, most of the population of the coastline in the world is populated by the very poor. Who will suffer disproportionally far more than the wealthy ‘cottage’ owners. I’ll give your statement the benefit of the doubt, but I don’t think it’ll have the change effect you think it will.

    That’s true but the cost for the maritime industry will be catastrophic. We need a wake up call, we have a very hard time making meaningful change until something awful happens.

    If Miami is suddenly underwater, will that be enough? Or do we also need NYC, Boston, San Diego, New Orleans?

    Miami and NO will suffer the most. I think large areas of NYC, Boston and San Diego will be above water

    No no nope. Its all marketing hype, not human caused and a plot to make the 1st world into the 3rd world.
