Climate Change and the Environment

“Naomi Seibt vs. Greta Thunberg: whom should we trust?” asked Heartland in a digital video. Later this week, Naomi is set to make her American debut at the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, a high-profile annual gathering just outside Washington of right-leaning activists.

For the love of god. It’s literally just run reverse cargo cult - over and over and over - until the end of time. No need to ever switch strategies. This one will always work when something close to a draw is all you need.

I came into this thread to post the same thing.

The teenager, from Münster in western Germany, claims she is “without an agenda, without an ideology”. But she was pushed into the limelight by leading figures on the German far right and her mother, a lawyer, has represented politicians from the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party in court.

Seibt had her first essay published by the “anti-Islamisation” blog Philosophia Perennis and was championed by Martin Sellner, leader of the Austrian Identitarian Movement, who has been denied entry to the UK and US because of his political activism.

A Facebook post by the AfD youth wing names Seibt as a member and she spoke at a recent AfD event, though she has denied membership of the party.

In May 2019 she posted her first video on YouTube, reading out verses submitted for a poetry slam competition organised by the AfD.

I guess the extreme right, as well as being regressive in general, are pro-climate change to get rid of brown and poor people.

I, for one, cannot wait for the “Why are you attacking a teenager?!?” cries of totes good-faith outrage from the right.

A cartoon of Greta Thunberg, a teenager, being violently raped had been disseminated across the internet. Naturally, some oilfield companymen decided to PRINT IT ON A PROMO STICKER WITH THEIR LOGO.

The response from the company?

“She’s not a minor, she’s 17.”

Thankfully this company is being raked over the coals here even in conservative media.

This is truly disgusting.

That’s worth linking to the actual article imo.

One of the odder rabbit holes i went down was actuality the opposite of this. White supremacists who are becoming environmentalist because they see mass migration due to climate change as threat to the white race.

Jesus…

Meanwhile

Coral reefs are dead, they just haven’t stopped moving yet. A rise of 1-2C is enough to kill them and our chances of keeping warming below 2C are essentially zero at this point. I’d be ecstatic if you told me we were limiting warming to only 2C.

RIP, never got to visit the Great Barrier reef :cry:

That kind of stuff makes me much sadder than our current situation as humans, we deserve everything that is happening to us but animals and nature seem so innocent in my mind, we showed up and just took a big dump all over them

So, basically just status quo for Trump’s EPA then?

Still time to visit the great barrier reef but you need to hurry. I have been there in 2001, 2012, 2019 and the difference is shocking but I went with people going for the first time each time and they were still amazed as they didn’t know what it used to be like.
