Now it gets serious! Despite all the protests and all the resistance, the climate communists of the European Union are increasing their commitment and demanding that the citizens of the European Union reduce CO2 emissions by 90% by 2040. According to the current ideas of the Davos infantil ideologists, 2050 should also be there the emission of CO2 will be completely ended. Anyone with a functioning brain cell can appreciate how crazy this idea is!
It meant nothing other than a complete change in the way we produce, how we transport our consumption and how we live. Only someone who is either completely disconnected from reality or who benefits monetarily from the transformation that is sure to fail can come up with something like this. The clean-up work alone, which awaits future generations to repair all the damage caused by these communists (just think of the hardly recyclable wind turbines), is immense. Our descendants will never forgive us for this ideological rampage!
completely disconnected from reality
There are a lot of people who think water comes from the sink and electricity comes from the wall.
It's easy to persuade such people with flowery rhetoric, because they have no capacity to even think about the costs.

But You can pursuade them easily by another narrative, too. We need 16%, the chasm, to change the course
reply
I agree, where do you get that 16% number from?
reply
I had once learned the 16% from the gaussian distribution as a critical mass.
reply
2 standard deviations away from the median
reply
Just one actually, and from the mean of a normal distribution.
reply
One SD is 34 percent
reply
That's on both sides and it's 32. Two standard deviations is how the standard 95% confidence intervals are formed. That only leaves about 5%: https://www.z-table.com/

Actually, climate change is real, a big issue, and not a psyop.
I agree that the EU central planning strategy is dumb tho. Free market would have chosen cheap, abundant and co2 neutral nuclear energy.
reply
I agree about nuclear energy. The part about climate change being man made or caused by fossil fuels is absurd
reply
It's their lever. Besides this these people are naked!

You should read more of the NASA and IPCC data. Real experts that are working on a daily basis on the field. People often get absurd information from for example big polluters. Itโ€™s more easy to fell into conspiracies and to destroy than read lot of difficult specific studies. Like saying that bitcoin is bad.. easy to say but reality is different. https://climate.nasa.gov/
reply
The nasa webpage is propaganda.
What does NASA know about climate change?
They specialize in space shuttles that explode.

I can't stand the phrase 'the science says' or 'the sciene is clear' or 'the majority of scientists says' ... as if science were a democratic process without any state manipulation. Who is running all these institutes and organizations? (With our money)
reply
Who would be running them if it wasn't them?
reply
Think of the science that is done by free enterprises. Universities or education in general are naturally organized privately like in former epochs. It's a big psyop to make us believe only the biggest criminal organization of coercion, the state, is able to run this.
reply
No one so these organizations can die
i am merely reporting on the effects of this policy. the broad debate about climate change or man-made emissions has long since been settled - for me it is sheer nonsense. be careful not to fall into the trap of state propaganda, which occupies over 90% of opinion-forming. that's all i'm going to say about that.
reply
Science is never settled especially if politicians say it

what is your best steelman of their argument for why itโ€™s important to cut emissions?
reply
466 sats \ 6 replies \ @TomK OP 8 Feb
the best argument is that this policy destroys any growth and destroys any capacity for innovation in the economy. a path to a better world is not possible this way. and besides, I doubt any relevant influence of man-made CO2 on the climate. 99% of climate change comes from solar activity.
reply
Solar activity, interesting. Good response
reply
The problem is that independent scientists have so far been largely suppressed by the media in their presentation of opinions, but this is slowly changing.
reply
We create too much CO2, we are 7 billion people! With cars, industries, burning things and tons of other bad recent habits. We emit lot of carbon dioxide. CO2 is bad because of the solar activity. So we really accelerate things like never before. Fact. Bad policy can destroy economy, yes. But it can also be the key to destroy polluting business or at least make them change for good. Adequate climate policies can really create big opportunities (Renewable cheap energy, more jobs, more happiness and sustainable future). Imagine having free solar energy on your roof. Charging your Tesla with your free energy.. and being waaay more Nature friendly than any other fossil fuel house/car.
I see a lot of good people/businesses creating new innovative solutions and being ignored just because big heads want to keep business as usual and keep selling oil/coal/gaz without environment taxes. Although I start to see change in people minds right now ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ“š I was in London and there is electric cars everywhere! Amazing
reply
We can never create enough CO2.
Climate change is socialist propaganda.
The goal of climate change propaganda is to make everyone poor except for Davos attendees.
reply
and do yourself a favor and stop with the infantile CO2 nonsense
reply
Congratulations! it's nice to be able to live in such a green neighborhood bubble. it sounds a bit surprising, but this planet runs on oil and gas and other fossil fuels. and that won't change as long as we live and as long as our children live! being mature means recognizing realities and not forcing dream bubbles on other people

I wondered if anyone here can comment on the feasibility of carbon capture, geological storage, or reuse, converted or not converted.
I don't think I see the feasibility. Maybe there's something I'm missing?
Geological storage is burying the carbon under the ground (after transporting it) into mass graves for carbon. Like collective landfill sites for carbon. Is that seriously accurate, or is someone trolling me?
Conversion is reusing carbon emissions to be used in ... anything. Because everything contains carbon. Have I got that right? Or is there some kind of idea that it could be captured and sent into the ground again to push out oil or deposits of other minerals that are difficult to extract.
Just checking I've got this straight because there's little mention of whether the EU would actually make any serious dent in global emissions, which seems a little pointless, if there's little evidence of other nations stepping down on carbon emissions.
reply
net Zero is clearly a political lever to push through a certain political agenda. in my opinion, the main point is that the Europeans, who have no collateral energy, want to keep the other relevant competitors at the table. that's why they are forcing their net Zero model on the world.
just to add to that
reply
I see. Seen from that viewpoint. I understand why this is emanating from the E.U. There only seems to be external interest when there is political or economic motivation for a certain amount of integration, manifesting in support for Green (like EV industry, solar industry or most obviously, being at loggerheads with energy abundant nations.)

Yep
