The discussion about the "Lying FLat" movement hitting Britain is interesting to me. Because when I was younger in Texas, I experienced the exact same things. I was working TOO hard to maintain an apartment and I had lower quality food or put up with ramen packs. It was only later on that I realized I could save a lot of money if I CUT out the landlord in my expenses and lived in an RV. Which I did. And you know what happened? My quality of life shot up immensely. I ate out as much as I wanted and my life became easier without that monthly payment hanging over my head. So much that even if I return to the USA, I am straight away getting another RV and won't even bother with property prices or high rent. I WAS NOT PUT ON THIS EARTH TO MAKE A LANDLORD RICHER!
The situation is very simple, and I have predicted this many years ago. Lowering consumption of fossil fuels is not going to happen. Too many countries profit from pumping up oil, and too many countries want/need the cheapest possible forms of energy. Don't bother even trying. What we (Europe) need to do urgently, is two things: 1) get rid of fossil fuels, not because of climate change, but for strategic reasons. We don't have fossil fuels ourselves, so we shouldn't want other continents to be able to blackmail us with it, like Russia already did. They won't be the last. 2) Prepare for the consequences of climate change. It's going to happen, so find out what will happen exactly, and prepare for it.
Labour's budget didn't support de-carbonising despite Starmer's claims today. Road fuel tax escalator unused for the 15th year (so continuing Tory policy of no increase), no road schemes axed, not even the ludicrous Lower Thames Crossing. Rail fares once again subject to an annual above inflation rise as they have been every year under the Tories, and track access charges for rail freight likewise. The crazily uneven playing field for transport has once again been further tilted in favour of road against rail. Oh, and no rail electrification, a real de-carboniser, either. Methinks Starmer speak with forked tongue.

As long as the biggest polluter (America) doesn’t really care or is playing both sides, nothing will be fixed or improved. I have to live upstairs from those guys. It’s embarrassing. I feel like Canada and Mexico should kick the US out of North America. It’s making us a 💩 hole continent. 😂
What kind of pollution are you referring to? Canada is (marginally) a greater CO2 per capita polluter than the US and fails in the same ways to effectively regulate the big international corporations that are globally responsible. For example, the RCMP actually helped shift indigenous communities to allow the CGL pipeline to be built on behalf of a (not just Canadian) company and several international partners
Now it is too late to do anything. If we had started 20 years earlier - something impossible - maybe we would have done something. Now it is too late, it is now impossible to reverse the climate. But if we started 20 years ago, in order to have hope, we would of course have to immediately start reducing Carbon Dioxide emissions. That is very abruptly, for example a reduction in the first years of the order of 5% per year but as the emissions decreased we would have to accelerate to a 10% reduction every year and from 2030 onwards more than a 10% reduction every year. Only in this way would we have any hope of reducing emissions to zero by 2050 and that the average temperature of the Planet does not rise above 2°C... But a reduction in Carbon Dioxide emissions means a reduction in the energy produced, thus a reduction in development, or in other words de-development and austerity. And this of course presupposes, but at the same time it would result (because one will affect the other), a different society right? We would now forget about today's society as we know it. We should go into Degrowth. This could not be done in a capitalist system, ie a system of overconsumption and "free" market where the rich do whatever they want and there is constant growth. In other words, we would go for an immediate reduction in everything, oil is finished, electricity very expensive and shortages initially in all products. Then things would get better for basic necessities as there would be control and moderation in their consumption. And this is the reason why there has been no Degrowth so far, nor will it ever happen. There would have to be a lot of restrictions, not only on the citizens to consume products and services, but at the same time restrictions on the rich and on the multinationals on what products and services they can sell to the citizens. Because there wouldn't be enough energy to produce everything as it is now, but we would have to choose to produce the bare necessities. Of course, this would happen gradually. Those products, materials or services that would not be essential, those that would not contribute productively and those that would have a large carbon footprint, regardless of what they are, would slowly disappear. Eg decorative home items, expensive stylized clothes or accessories, expensive electronic devices, air travel, fruit from the other side of the planet. Also products that would be necessary but require raw materials from all over the planet or would require too much water or too much energy to produce, ordinary citizens would not have access, only the states would have with special international agreements. We should be able to balance all this Degrowth, without collapsing the global economy, initially somewhere "low" from a technological and economic point of view. Eg in an economy/society similar to that of Western countries at the beginning of the 20th century. And then, once we found a way to increase clean forms of energy, then technological and economic progress would take over again. Only when the production of clean energy would be in a quantity greater than today but a price lower than it is today, only then would technological and economic development will come back to today's levels again.
There's little debate that the climate is changing (believe me, I've seen both extremes of the argument) however, the choice for slowing the acceleration of climate change is ultimately with the oil, gas and coal companies. They're not going to make the change overnight.
How about all the eco zealots don’t have kids. Having kids is the biggest contribution to CO2 emissions an individual can make. Don’t breed. Save the planet 👍

Yep. Because people whine yet don't ACTUALLY change their ways, and even if you do that won't stop the sheer amount of pollution and waste dumped by India and China (the 3 biggest sources of man-made waste and plastic dumped in the oceans come from rivers in India and China), and the fact that over 70% of the World's pollution comes from just 100 companies...sitting at home with some special lightbulbs and a shopping bag for life won't change anything. We need to stop buying stuff from China, but that means paying more. We need to scrap all forms of combustible engine transportation but that means paying more. More than you aren't willing to pay. So hypocrisy wins again.

Any analogy that contains "souls" or things similarly impossible to define or quantify is kind of pointless. How can we get people to "believe" in climate change or trust intelligent people to provide us with evidence when they also believe in things like eternal life after mortal life. Its ridiculous.
The earth periodically goes through warmer and cooler cycles that cause the ice caps to form and melt again. Humans and most other living things adapt and cope with it. In the past it has benefited human evolution. We can certainly adapt to two degrees warmer.

I partially agree, but unless you've gone out to live self sustainability and constantly protested and petitioned for climate policies, you (we) at least in some way deserve it. There were choices you could have made that would have helped but you didn't. I take your point on ethical consumption under capitalism, but who keeps the capitalist system running? If we really cared that much we could have stopped it, but we're too invested in our own convenience.

Because when I was younger in Texas, I experienced the exact same things.
I was working TOO hard to maintain an apartment and I had lower quality food or put up with ramen packs.
It was only later on that I realized I could save a lot of money if I CUT out the landlord in my expenses and lived in an RV.
Which I did. And you know what happened?
My quality of life shot up immensely.
I ate out as much as I wanted and my life became easier without that monthly payment hanging over my head.
So much that even if I return to the USA, I am straight away getting another RV and won't even bother with property prices or high rent.
I WAS NOT PUT ON THIS EARTH TO MAKE A LANDLORD RICHER!
Was you put on here to make your boss richer then?
The situation is very simple, and I have predicted this many years ago. Lowering consumption of fossil fuels is not going to happen. Too many countries profit from pumping up oil, and too many countries want/need the cheapest possible forms of energy. Don't bother even trying. What we (Europe) need to do urgently, is two things: 1) get rid of fossil fuels, not because of climate change, but for strategic reasons. We don't have fossil fuels ourselves, so we shouldn't want other continents to be able to blackmail us with it, like Russia already did. They won't be the last. 2) Prepare for the consequences of climate change. It's going to happen, so find out what will happen exactly, and prepare for it.
Labour's budget didn't support de-carbonising despite Starmer's claims today.
Road fuel tax escalator unused for the 15th year (so continuing Tory policy of no increase), no road schemes axed, not even the ludicrous Lower Thames Crossing.
Rail fares once again subject to an annual above inflation rise as they have been every year under the Tories, and track access charges for rail freight likewise.
The crazily uneven playing field for transport has once again been further tilted in favour of road against rail. Oh, and no rail electrification, a real de-carboniser, either.
Methinks Starmer speak with forked tongue.
The car lobby has a complete stronghold on transport in most countries.
Yes. We are.

As long as the biggest polluter (America) doesn’t really care or is playing both sides, nothing will be fixed or improved. I have to live upstairs from those guys. It’s embarrassing. I feel like Canada and Mexico should kick the US out of North America. It’s making us a 💩 hole continent. 😂
America

The US will probably annex you both in the near future after Trump finishes converting Mexico into a mad max hellscape.
What kind of pollution are you referring to?
Canada is (marginally) a greater CO2 per capita polluter than the US and fails in the same ways to effectively regulate the big international corporations that are globally responsible. For example, the RCMP actually helped shift indigenous communities to allow the CGL pipeline to be built on behalf of a (not just Canadian) company and several international partners
Now it is too late to do anything. If we had started 20 years earlier - something impossible - maybe we would have done something. Now it is too late, it is now impossible to reverse the climate.
But if we started 20 years ago, in order to have hope, we would of course have to immediately start reducing Carbon Dioxide emissions. That is very abruptly, for example a reduction in the first years of the order of 5% per year but as the emissions decreased we would have to accelerate to a 10% reduction every year and from 2030 onwards more than a 10% reduction every year. Only in this way would we have any hope of reducing emissions to zero by 2050 and that the average temperature of the Planet does not rise above 2°C...
But a reduction in Carbon Dioxide emissions means a reduction in the energy produced, thus a reduction in development, or in other words de-development and austerity. And this of course presupposes, but at the same time it would result (because one will affect the other), a different society right? We would now forget about today's society as we know it.
We should go into Degrowth. This could not be done in a capitalist system, ie a system of overconsumption and "free" market where the rich do whatever they want and there is constant growth. In other words, we would go for an immediate reduction in everything, oil is finished, electricity very expensive and shortages initially in all products. Then things would get better for basic necessities as there would be control and moderation in their consumption. And this is the reason why there has been no Degrowth so far, nor will it ever happen.
There would have to be a lot of restrictions, not only on the citizens to consume products and services, but at the same time restrictions on the rich and on the multinationals on what products and services they can sell to the citizens. Because there wouldn't be enough energy to produce everything as it is now, but we would have to choose to produce the bare necessities. Of course, this would happen gradually.
Those products, materials or services that would not be essential, those that would not contribute productively and those that would have a large carbon footprint, regardless of what they are, would slowly disappear. Eg decorative home items, expensive stylized clothes or accessories, expensive electronic devices, air travel, fruit from the other side of the planet. Also products that would be necessary but require raw materials from all over the planet or would require too much water or too much energy to produce, ordinary citizens would not have access, only the states would have with special international agreements.
We should be able to balance all this Degrowth, without collapsing the global economy, initially somewhere "low" from a technological and economic point of view. Eg in an economy/society similar to that of Western countries at the beginning of the 20th century. And then, once we found a way to increase clean forms of energy, then technological and economic progress would take over again.
Only when the production of clean energy would be in a quantity greater than today but a price lower than it is today, only then would technological and economic development will come back to today's levels again.

There's little debate that the climate is changing (believe me, I've seen both extremes of the argument) however, the choice for slowing the acceleration of climate change is ultimately with the oil, gas and coal companies. They're not going to make the change overnight.
They're not going to make the change whatsoever.

Yep. Because people whine yet don't ACTUALLY change their ways, and even if you do that won't stop the sheer amount of pollution and waste dumped by India and China (the 3 biggest sources of man-made waste and plastic dumped in the oceans come from rivers in India and China), and the fact that over 70% of the World's pollution comes from just 100 companies...sitting at home with some special lightbulbs and a shopping bag for life won't change anything. We need to stop buying stuff from China, but that means paying more. We need to scrap all forms of combustible engine transportation but that means paying more. More than you aren't willing to pay. So hypocrisy wins again.

Any analogy that contains "souls" or things similarly impossible to define or quantify is kind of pointless. How can we get people to "believe" in climate change or trust intelligent people to provide us with evidence when they also believe in things like eternal life after mortal life. Its ridiculous.
The earth periodically goes through warmer and cooler cycles that cause the ice caps to form and melt again. Humans and most other living things adapt and cope with it. In the past it has benefited human evolution. We can certainly adapt to two degrees warmer.
