Ok this was posted in the Ale House but it’s incredibly relevant.
I’m a motoring enthusiast and huge recycler. I am very bothered about the state of things climate-wise too.
I have a very economical petrol car, however I’m not against electric cars in any way. The only gripe I have is with that self-driving garbage.
I recycle absolutely everything going.
So why am I made to feel guilty about pollution when Russia and China (and the subject of the above meme) do what they like in regards to air pollution? I have to drive for work by the way, community specialist nurse and that.
Modern ICE vehicles are clean, moreso than ever before. They’re picking on the wrong people.
That's a blanket statement that doesn't really mean anything with respect. The original post was also a false equivalence that plays into doomersim that leads to scepticism by a daily mail reader.
Who is making you feel guilty? As someone actively involved that line of things all I've seen asked from the general public is engagement with the information and being open to making changes where you can, not everyone has the capacity to reduce their footprints in the same way and without those people being facilitated in doing so, it's hardly their fault. Not voting for anti science right wing scum is probably the first and most powerful step, which I know from enjoying your occasional political posts is the case.
I'd also suggest more research in China's policies on air pollution and investment in renewable and sustainable energies, they've pretty much been forced into action by predicted outcomes.
China is actually the biggest producer of Green energy.
Back in 2022 they spent more on low carbon technology than the rest of the world combined.
They are the worlds biggest emitter of green house gases but thats because they produce the majority of the worlds goods.
The Chinese actually believe the science.
While in America.

This is brutal and will probably be even worse in places like Pakistan and India

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
Propaganda from Irelands national broadcaster, apparently temperatures between 22 and 25 degrees is a reason for increased hospital admission for heat related illnesses.. there's people in parts of the world that set their air-conditioning to this temperature to escape the heat. 22-25 degrees is not hot it's a nice day.

There is evidence that higher temperatures significantly increase hospitalisation rates, a report from the Economic and Social Research Institute has found.

There’s tonnes of mitigating factors here right.- Status
