A question to climate deniers on here: Do you believe the markets should determine how we generate our energy?

@SumKindaMunster Then why is renewable energy uptake increasing exponentially worldwide?

And https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/carbon-brief/. Pro-science. High factual reporting.

@SW-User Dude...I was agreeing with you....🙄

@SumKindaMunster ok my man.

And also, one scientific study coming your way:

pertinent phrase "In 2019, China’s carbon emission intensity decreased by 48.1% compared with that in 2005 (National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBSC)5), achieving the reduced CI target of 40–45% by 2020 proposed during the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Change Conference. "

@gol979 First off it is climate change. And I am sorry you have a hard time reading and understanding grade 9 level science.

Hate to upset you but your SUV doesn't run on pixie dust.

@gol979 How about you answer my question?

@SW-User you have to define what you mean.....then we can answer your question. The definition is clearly an issue because multiple people have asked for a definition

@ElwoodBlues Yep, and the irony is that market forces actually incentivised the widespread burning of fossil fuels in the Industrial Revolution, creating the mess we're currently in, and now those markets are driving a renewables revolution that will help fix it!

@MayorOfCrushtown How about you answer my question?

@MayorOfCrushtown The recent change is counter to natural change.

@Patriot96 So you agree that the markets should determine how we generate our energy?

@akindheart Thank God you do.


I disagree

China and India may be the largest polluters NOW, but the US, UK and the Western world have emitted FAR more pollution than India and China ever will. It should have been up to us to do our bit first, but we're passing the buck.

@SW-User nope. i don't agree. look at all the chinese production. they should not have been given a free pass. they need to do their part. we have made some strides in emissions at least. everyone should contribute

@akindheart China have made huge strides in curbing their emissions. They are massively investing in renewables and EVs and have slahed their carbon intensity by more than 50% in just one decade. They are most certainly "doing their bit." . And what do you mean by a "free pass"? If anything, it is the US and Europe that are getting a free pass, angrily pointing fingers at China and India and saying "what about them"? as if we in the West are not ultimately responsible for the mess we're in.

Still, at least we're singing from the same songsheet in that we want emissions curbed ASAP.

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP Yep, markets will actually end up fixing the problem that they created way back at the start of the Industrial Revolution.

@SW-User try reading some actual climate data.
Its been hotter before, on several occasions, its been much colder too. Weather happens, the climate changes, so does weather, long before the industrial age

@Patriot96 clearly. But you’re missing the point entirely, (and I suspect deliberately), which you would know if you had read some actual climate data 🤦🏻‍♂

@MasterLee Triggered

@SW-User you should really work on that.

@SW-User

@SumKindaMunster How about you answer my question?

@SumKindaMunster I guess you walk out in the hot sun and say it is freezing.
