Why move away from it? It's not doing any harm

Why not move away from it? Is it going to be cheaper? Or is that just another fallacy that we've been told? Non Renewable are exactly that, they won't last forever so why not move away once the technology is there?

Also worth remembering that Carter put solar panels on the roof of the white house in 1979
only for Reagan to take them off 7 years later.

Something has been preventing clean infrastructure for 40 years, I wonder what?

On behalf of all of us concerned earth citizens and GOTers, I would like to thank @Tipp blue for his extensive research into things Al Gore said in 1999, which has finally debunked the vile false claims of the entire global scientific community. Please, feel free to burn your fossil fuels and pump your carbon freely into the atmosphere and know that it is completely fine

Thank you.. now was that really so hard?

by infrastructure, what do you mean?

Updating electric grids?
Wind turbines, solar arrays?
Updating hydro and decommissioning coal?
Electric trains?
EV charging networks?
Perhaps looking at modern Nuclear, or possibly fusion?

Edit: we probably should have done all this when Al Gore told us to!

I'll raise you Jimmy Carter

FFS you already did

haha, I was posting about Carter as you were posting this!

Turns 100 this year. Biden should get him on the ticket.

If you don't believe our carbon emissions are causing climate change, why move away from it, just cost?

Pollution.. you do know that carbon dioxide which isn't a pollutant is not the only gas released by burning fossil fuels right? There are toxic gasses released too..

ok, but thinking that the pollution is damaging the atmosphere is a bridge too far?

 

[orchard]

How many? I'd guess at least half of people in western civilization think this, not understanding what that means

Bloody 'ell

Change is the bridge too far for this one

 

[Ruairi77]

Pollution.. you do know that carbon dioxide which isn't a pollutant is not the only gas released by burning fossil fuels right? There are toxic gasses released too..

and the other toxic gasses like black carbon also contribute to climate change.

I'm still trying to figure out how you could doubt the human impact on climate change and call for clean infrastructure.

 

[Tipp blue]

Carbon dioxide isn't a pollutant.. but the others are more of a health risk to humans. Carbon monoxide and formaldehyde .

I believe the Earth is flat because B.O.B said so.

Despise mainstream sheeple like you. It's clearly doughnut shaped.
