@Jens_Rasmussen @Arkana @Some1Actually >man-made carbon emissions are so little that it cannot become an issue within a predictable timeframe
I've seen these and found them lacking. It's trivial to estimate the emissions we have, and it's trivial to approximate change in co2 content of the atmosphere. These arguments about how much co2 were in the atmosphere before, or how it's a tiny percentage of a tiny percentage are just making logic errors, akin to saying "a tiny percentage of arsenic won't hurt me" and drinking half a gallon before dying.
>periods of temperature swings, on par with or greater than what is currently seen, have historically happened in pre-industrial times, leaving doubt as to whether carbon emissions are a factor in recent temperature increases at all.
that doesn't follow.
>Academics who have claimed that climate change would be a catastrophic issue are proven wrong when their doomsaying doesn't actually come true, which also leads to a general trend of distrust towards people making such predictions.
yeah, big problem. people are getting sick of cleaning up the environment if all it ever leads to is migrants and eating bugs.
I think renewables should be well liked by nationalists, because they make your country less dependent on imports of fossil fuels and they are distributed, meaning less chance of military adversaries knocking them offline at once.
