Climate change

[Jazzman1218]

We are taking action, relax. Nothing Canada does or can do will alter climate change, we could vanish like the Anasazi and nothing would change. According to an ongoing temperature analysis led by scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the average global temperature on Earth has increased by at least 1.1° Celsius (1.9° Fahrenheit) since 1880.
That is to be expected with the added 9.2 billion people.
The governments will spend trillions, they along with their friends will make hundreds of millions and nothing will change, it never got worse and they will claim victory.
Same as if we did not go full retard ( From Tropic Thunder ) and continue on a feasible and thoughtful pace.

The Earth's population is presently 8 billion. Since 1980 the rate of warming has more that doubled what it had been over the previous century. Yes action has been taken to mitigate greenhouse gases, but much more action is necessary. There remain those who have denied the existence of man-made planet warming and those, who no longer call it a hoax, but are against the actions required to address the urgency of the problem. Those folks need to stop being obstructionists and be part of the solution not part of the problem.

Not obstructionist but realists. We can only advance at a certain rate, causing a panic to spend more money ( see the Canada carbon tax ), governments giving billions of taxpayers dollars to fund other countries which will not see 10% of given funds to climate change. Scrapping save the trees to rid plastic use ( it was found the glue used in paper straws is bad for the environment but the media will not report that ). I am all for the environment but more for having the future generations ability to live in a economically sound environment.

"Realists" who for years have denied the existence of man-made climate change and, those that now acknowledge it, are against efforts to combat it. Those "realists"?

I tend to not put all people into one group, the vast majority of Republicans / Conservatives do know the climate is changing but also understand we are working on it and it will take time ( 10 yrs on earth is like a nano second in your life for comparison ). There are the wack job climate people who glue themselves to cars and roads but I do not group all Democrats / Liberals into the same group by adding Ultra leftwing as liberal people do who they do not agree with.
Been reading that the Canadian environment minister set a date of 2030 or something like that for net zero but has recently been appointed to some China council of some sort and OK'D them to 2060. Makes sense to who? Climate change agenda is making many millionaires while it make the middle class poorer, and for what? If you never read your choice of media and was not alarmed would you have even noticed it?
As I stated, almost certain that if we kept up with the normal advancements the climate would not amplify as the alarmists claim.
1.9 degree increase in 150 years with speculation of an emergency, well.

What efforts have been made to combat it? Get real here. Politicians are increasing the population because all they care about is making money. Liberal governments are using man-made climate change to scam people into adding a carbon tax but in reality it is nothing but a revenue collection scheme. If they really were serious to want to combat climate change they would start by slowing down population growth. Too many humans represents the biggest threat to the planet. More humans = more man made climate change. More humans = more destruction of natural habitat. Nature not only absorbs carbon dioxide to release oxygen it also acts as a temperature moderator. Trudeau and other politicians would stop zipping around the world in their private jets. Btw over half of forest fires are caused by humans and razing forests to build more man made infrastructure to house more humans makes forest fires spread very fast.

Always so much to unpack with your posts. I'll leave that Herculean effort to someone younger and with more free time. Nevertheless, it's worth saying that politicians don't increase population - people do that all by themselves. If you're referring to immigration, that's a different discussion. However, immigration relocates worldwide population it doesn't reduce it. And how does government intervention by slowing down births square with a libertarian "freedom" argument? (that's a rhetorical question by the way).

Not at all. I am referring to child care benefits. I already posted a link with all the countries offering many financial incentives to have more kids. I am against that. As for immigration, that is a big part of another problem not related to this thread.

The Government Will Pay You to Have Babies in These Countries

Strategy to address plunging birth rates.

money.com

Examples of what I am talking about. I took this out of the article I just posted.

In Estonia, families are rewarded for having more children. The larger the family the more money they receive. This, combined with other financial benefits and a year-long paid maternity leave, has helped birth rates to rise, and could be improving or at least stabilizing the economy.

That is so wrong to tax single people to pay people to have more kids. This in a nutshell is what I was talking about governments increasing the population. As you can see hidden under the agenda all they care about is making more money. The whole climate change thing is just smoke and mirrors. Actions prove what I am saying is true.

When a government increases child benefits it increases population, basically a proven point. For the population in Canada when the government ( Trudeau ) wants 500,000 immigrants a year the politicians again increase the population.

No, it doesn't. Government programs that benefit children are what governments are supposed to do to protect their most vulnerable citizens. Can we get back to discussing Climate Change please?

That is in addition to 900,000 international students, 500,000 temporary foreign workers, and who knows how many refugees probably at least half a million. That is a minimum of 1.5 million people. Yet they want to reduce the carbon footprint and make ppl stupid by saying that a carbon tax will do that. Lol Trudeau tricked many gullible ppl to collect more revenue to fund his spending spree.

But climate change is due to population, this was brought up to show governments increase population which causes increased climate change.

Spending other peoples money is easy. Government programs are organized theft. The government essentially turned kids into a commodity, they turned them into future potential taxpayers a means to make profits. They are only protecting their own revenues. And you are in denial if this has nothing to do with climate change. It is a matter of simple mathematics, more humans means more pollution. Our Socialist mayor is trying to force everyone to ride the bike and use public transit while herself goes in her large SUV. She said there are too many cars? What to expect when Montreal's population is over 4.5 million people. The more people you bring to Canada., the more Canada pollutes. How much of Montreal's and surrounding area greenspace is being wiped out to build more condos? Destroying all this natural landscape is a big contributor to pollution. Trees are need to release oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide and they also moderate the temperature. I love nature and animals and governments are wiping it all out just to make more money. They are increasing the population just to make more money. All they care about is money. Greed will be humanity's undoing.

But that's a fallacy. Your entire argument is based on erroneous assumptions. Governments don't increase worldwide population. A population increase in one place due to immigration is because of a population decrease somewhere else. Government programs that take care of children doesn’t result in more births.

Not erroneous at all. Governments are bringing people primarily from poor countries and they always have lots of kids. They come running here for the social benefits (government programs). I saw many many with 4+ kids, think of how much free money they are getting. They are also the first to get social housing. Many are not even working and do not need to. Raising lots of kids is a money making business mostly for poor people who came from poor countries. So yes governments are increasing the population worldwide. This is not just happening in Canada, they are doing this in many other G7 countries and the root of all of this is the far-left organization The United Nations. It is weird how they push for climate change reduction while at the same time actively boosting the population which increases pollution. It is kind of like constantly filling your tank with gas but someone else is making the hole in the tank bigger.

Agree to disagree. It's pointless to continue this discussion. Let's get back to Climate and get off these anti-immigration and anti-government themes.

Agree...well said...thoses topics are so divisive and endless sterile debatess....so for sure it will go on....lollll

But if the immigrants are coming here to take advantage of our generosity ( and yes they do ) it does increase the population. In Canada with Lord Trudeau announcing child assistance rate increases so people will vote for him will increase the population if there was no assistance, same with other countries. With your last sentence, tell that to the natives, the more kids the more money.
Known that other races take advantage of Canada's generosity also and pump out kids for the money.
This is not anti-immigration, racist or any other form you put out there. It is about population increases global warming as many tend to agree with. Stop giving money for kids and the population increase will slow down.

You are entitled to your opinion no matter how dark and disturbing it is. I find myself pining for the days when all you heard from the right about climate change was that it was a hoax. LOL.

You again seem to group all into one category that do not have the same beliefs as you. Have never said it is a hoax and the vast majority do not say that either. Nothing I mentioned was dark or whatever, basically just the truth. I am waiting for the day when the alarmists are proven wrong and there is no emergency to get it done now and it better not be in 10 years or we will be doomed.
