You're not as green as you like to think

does nothing but costs a lot of money.

they can do this individually, we don't need to do it collectively.

How does imposing heavy taxes that we have no say in how they are spent "going green"

Because being an ignorant fundamentalist with team colors is more important than scientific fact to the right. And the left can't stop overreacting to everything to make the needed progress either.

There's nothing wrong with any of that. That's why we're already doing it.

It's co option by leftist extremist that want to attach Marxist principles to any agreement to implement it world wide.

the amount of available fossil fuels and their effect on the environment are misrepresented for the sake of "green companies" that cause more environmental damage than nuclear energy or even fossil fuel but ultimately benefit a handful of politicians and their buddies, effectively unimaginable amount of tax payer's money goes into making nothing
similar thing to what's happening with gmos, they aren't intrinsically bad, it's bad that a group of jews can exploit them to fuck whole countries over

I actually understand Trump's logic very well.
When your currency value depends entirely on how dependant are other countries to oil, it makes no sense helping those countries leave oil behind.

Don't you have butt stuff to be doing, Bill?

This is just as stupid as saying don't dump toxins in a river if you want but don't ask everyone to stop.

This x1000000

Green doesn't include nuclear even though it's one of the safest and cheapest forms of energy that doesn't produce much waste.

"green" is bullshit designed to get you to pay money for the poor little pandas, they don't want to solve the issue, they just want to profit from it.

Market forces have greened up the planet more in the last five years faster than any draconian global wealth distribution program ever could.

Sounds like industrial capitalism. Oh wait it IS industrial capitalism you just described

How do you get 3rd world nations to abandon cheaper methods of energy production? Every developed nation used oil and coal and now we're telling the rest of the world they shouldn't. Giving them an incentive to find different means while innovating new technology and selling it to them with the money we gave them is win-win. This is what we do with weapons all over the world. Why not with solar panels?

Going green is OK, but subsidizing it before its manageable in the free market is a bad idea and dead-weight.

Climate change isn't a hoax but it's used as an excuse to implement an international bureaucracy. Also environmentalists love to preach going green but they are huge hypocrites because they themselves use vehicles, electricity, and devices which contain heavy metals. Demand for energy created this mess and the only true solution is global nuclear winter or primitivism.

>Green doesn't include nuclear
Never heard this before, why not? Because of the waste that no one has figured out what to do with?

Low energy output.
Nuclear is better in every way and can power electric vehicles unlike green energy sources.

I'm not against capitalism you idiot. I just want people who really want to fix global warming to stop falling for the panda propaganda. If they want to build windmills, let them, but people should know that it's not gonna do jack shit.

Because it's scary and it would actually stop global warming which is bad for the green people because they wouldn't be able to profit from it.
And the waste is tiny compared to the waste building millions of solar panels would create, it can also be reused in other types of reactors, and by the time we run out of uranium, we can start importing it from mars or whatever.

If we wanted to battle climate change we would build carbon reducution technology.

There's a huge static cost with setting up an energy distribution network - pipelines, gas stations, refineries, electricity grids.

The sell is that once solar+storage comes down in price sufficiently, decentralised and small-municipal solar wins against large-scale generation. It's called the leapfrog effect, but we need to subsidise solar storage so it bootstraps to volumes where it becomes cost-competitive.

>go green
>show down coal power plants
>replace them with wind and solar
>wind doesn't blow and sun doesn't shine

I hope your frozen goods were frozen good. I hope you don't mind energy intensive industry leaving your state. I hope you enjoy levying higher costs upon your citizens (consuming an ever larger chunk of the poors take home pay).

There is nothing wrong with going green. There is something wrong with forcing it and crippling your people and economy. When wind power because so good that coal seems useless the market will naturally switch. When electric cars are able to take a single detour without dying because you missed the charge station they will naturally take over.

Why are you wasting valuable natural resources shit posting on the internet?

Oh ok, so you were bullshitting me.

>cripple own economy for nothing
>outsourcing manufacturing
>not actually reducing world pollution
>being a faggot

kys shitlib

morw like crony capitalism with the amount of subsidies and regulations they have benefitted from

>windmills don't do shit
You don't get out much do you?

>we need to subsidise solar storage so it bootstraps to volumes where it becomes cost-competitive.

We need to pay hundreds of billions of tax dollars to make something privately profitable.

Ok bud.

I dont get ya. windmills are meme. Same with solar.

Tax subsidies for big corp. That's all they are. Mlst power companies won't pay am effective tax the next 20 years. Meanwhile the dumb ass rate payers and tax payers pay for this shit power source. Good goys.

>Fuck people are just too stupid to save

The (((Climate Change))) agenda is basically yet another incarnation of the of the 'seize the means of production' communist theory. Enforce an artificial limitation as an effort to controls economic, industrial, and overall development.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Means_of_production

>INB4 But.. but... user the weather is 1.7364782 degrees warmer than last year and my college professor said that the science is settled and (((CNN))) said that anyone who questions (((Climate Change))) is a "denier".

Seriously, if you want people to get on board with your (((scheme))) you are going to have to force all of Asia and Europe to self impose strict limitation and then we will still not get on board but rather be ahead. There is no real circumstance in which you will get any nation to self impose restrictions... even if everyone else pinky swears they will also.

It does reduce world pollution by quite a significant amount though estimating that temperatures will drop by 0.3°C sounds tiny, it's huge compared to the 2°C+ rise expected. Standing down leaders of the free world is far worse than paying some poor nations in green credits. This was a huge mistake.
ridiculous conspiracy theories

And likely miss when people like you get called out and scurry from the woodwork? Nope

>estimating
oh yeah, their predictions over the last 50 years have been so so spot on. totally trustworthy.

It's expensive. Also, alternative energy sources don't produce nearly as much energy as most think. If solar and wind were more efficient than coal, we'd be fucking using it

The cost associated with it, my friend.
The USA has mostly been spared of this lunacy, but my country has not.

The cost of building a house is through the roof here, every year the regulations on insulation and energy savings get stricter. It's literally impossible to build a house here for under €100k. Meanwhile, my friend in Missouri built a house out of wood for $10k.

Add that to higher taxes on more powerful vehicles (on top of higher insurance), more taxes to pay for green energy, taxes on fuel, plastics, a "recycling" tax you pay when purchasing anything electronic, etc.

We're coming to the point where we are taxed so much that we can no longer afford to have children. At that point, why care about the future of the planet?

We barely even had satellites 50 years ago.

>people are stupid for not saving
>windmills are bad though
U wot

Inb4 hurr durr they aren't good enough thiugh. Ever tried using a windmill for power? No? Then your opinion is irrelevant

hell just look at predictions 10 years ago. snake oil

And yet their models have remained just as inaccurate.

Knowledge bomb from a utility fag here

There are whats called wheeling charges. You can't "wheel" power from most areas good for wind and solar to most major power users.

Libshits cant even science how the grid works but want your tax dollars to manage this renewable meme.

We have been predicting global warming since the 90's. Since then we have observed the ice caps melting.

You'll kill a shitton of people because the price of food and power (and basically everything else) will skyrocket.

You no longer have BASED allies like the Saudis

>why don't people want to ruin the planet economically to change the climate by 0.0001% in 100 years??????????

>Getting bilked out of 100 billion dollars a year while India and China continue polluting the planet to the point that they need surgical masks to ho outside and are advised not to exercise due to the toxic air quality

Like it or not, Trump is much smarter than the average person. If someone doesn't agree with him, they're probably miseducated or being overly emotional.

Considering the amount of money that corporate CEOs collective evade in taxes and store in offshore banks to just pile up, I don't buy the argument here.

They can afford to increase wages while not increasing prices. They've been hoarding trillions of dollars so that's a fact.

>2016+1
>not wishing for eco-socialism

>power plant nigger here

I work for a major power utility in the south east. Phone posting from work right now.

Solar and wind is a joke you fuckwit. Our execs love it, great tax breaks from the silly goys. Im not saying you dont get power from them but it's not wide grid capable.

Tell me more about not knowing shit fag

I'm not averse to it at all. I am only averse to large international treaties that accomplish nothing to fight global warming while funneling wealth out of the US. Actively creating an economic incentive for the developing world to pollute more is not a viable solution.

We will still reduce our emissions. Through technology, social pressure, and the grant programs of individual nations.

>If someone doesn't agree with him, they're probably miseducated or being overly emotional.
can you shill any harder?

all that money it costs for one

Going green is good, I want to go green. But apparently the only way to "go green" is to give shitskins and commies billions of dollars to take your industries and relocate them in China.

That's not really green, that's just global-scale gibs.

Basically the kikes want their oil money and they want to hurt whites and uplift browns. Somehow they found a way to do both of these things under the guise of environmentalism. Anyone who points it out gets called a dumb climate change denier. Another basic bitch jewish trap with a different coat of paint.

>using extremely uneconomical solutions
>better world
lol

There aren't any downsides to going green.

...

yeah, and I remember growing up in the 90s and having to watch a "we're all going to die" by 2010 infomercial in school.

>they work but its not a viable replacement because its not everywhere already
>that makes you stupid
Nice logic.

People are fucking greedy and stupid

Look at CA

>Tax on pollution pumped out from factories. They wanted to turn the pollution measurements into a tradable resource. A celebrity could fly their jet across the country and just trade the resource and be ok.

>Measure exhaust from cars and a tax if the exhaust is too high. Oh you have a antique car in mint condition that can still be driven? Here's your fee. Oh you don't have the latest model? Better hope it meets the new measurement or a fee for you!

>Nuclear power is a extremely clean form of energy. Unless you know nothing about it and find it scary. Toxic waste is dumped behind a locked door, in drums, in the bottom of a mineshaft, in a desert that has been dry for eons.

>Just look up their retarded bullshit that caused all water from the ocean to be banned from being turned into fresh water. Short story: PETA convicted a judge a tiny fish that was too small to be kept out shouldn't be sucked into the grates of the water processing plants. The fish was a invasive species.

15 trillion Carbon tax concocted by Al Gore

>What exactly are the downsides of Going Green?

Jewish control of the earth and the extermination of white European Gentiles. Look at what groups support these initiatives and you will find they are mostly Jewish.

You're an idiot.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

>ridiculous conspiracy theories
>Muh Russia did it!!!

Seriously, you are welcome to go spread your (((agenda))) in China or India as they are the worst offenders and lets see how far you get.

Nice argument.

yes building (((green))) with old world tech is not fucking green. the technology is not here yet.

Yup. As I look at all the MW on our system lamba... would look at all that renewable power in the bottom right 1/4 of our country.

See... too stupid to save.

kys

You mean we haven't noticed glaciers melting before the 90s? It all just started happening then? You're certainly right that's when this meme was heavily pushed, but they've been slowly melting since the end of the last ice age.

...

>earth is warming
>economically cripple yourself and subsidize Sub-Saharan African solar powers to the tune of a few trillion dollars
>somehow makes the 3rd unliveable
>literal subhumans have no choice but to flood in to western countries
There's a reason the left went quiet about "overpopulation." Global warming is a much more convenient means of guilt-tripping whites into shooting themselves in the foot.

Is that legitimate debate without censorship on reddit?
who said anything about russia? Now I'm a part of the global conspiracy...everyone against you.

The US pledged $3 billion total and paid $1 billion already. The $100 billion is the total fundraising goal to be mobilized from both the public and private sectors of nearly 200 nations. It's not exactly a huge burden on anyone. They already raised like $68 billion so stop talking out your ass.

There's a difference between going green and going (((green))). The best thing to do for the environment is to stop giving shitskins money, aid, and medicine. Let them remain small insignificant tribes in the jungle like they were before western intervention. You won't have to worry about any "carbon tax" from them when they're chucking spears in Africa. But liberals expect to give modern western amenities to 5 billion shistkins at the end of the century, and are gullible enough to think we can do it while reducing pollution.

Another great solution would be to stop giving China our money, because they don't give a single solitary fuck about keeping the world livable in the future. It's best to leave civilization in the hands of whites. We are the most capable of handling it responsibly.

There's nothing to argue. What you've posted doesn't relate in any way and shows a childlike understanding of economics. You only warrant ridicule.

Love watching wind turbines sit stationary on a breezy day knowing the grid can't handle the inconsistency. Libfags haven't the slightest clue how generation and the grid actually work.

Petrodollar loses a lot of it's meaning if cheap energy becomes a thing

>g-guys the jews who have armies of lawyers and accountants to find tax loopholes will pay their fair share this time

yours wasnt much better.

Its basic logic.

If I have *trillions* in a bank somewhere, I don't NEED to jack the prices up of everything I sell to compensate for paying $2 more per hour to my minions. That's objectively reasonable.

You would have to try, hard, to accomplish burning through even 1 trillion dollars, let alone the fact that their money is still building up.

Operation OTG now in effect.

>What exactly are the downsides of Going Green?

It costs more, it's better to go black

/thread faggots can't comprehend the wisdom that is worshiping God.

Its offten used as pretense to raise taxes and shit on people or countries. On other hand, all the dirty shit goeas to 3rd world, which don't need to have regulations.

I make a supposedly "green" soap ingredient at work. We produce over 300 gallons per minute of waste water - 24/7, 365. Now since we outsource a part of production we likely use foreign slave labor to source raw materials.

You're not as green as you think

buzzwords: the post

>It's basic logic
No, it's really not. I also love how you believe there are single individuals who have trillions.

>You would have to try, hard, to accomplish burning through even 1 trillion dollars, let alone the fact that their money is still building up.
You have no clue how expensive this country is do you?
So, there's around 50.4 million school aged kids in the US. They're in school for 180 days out of the year. It costed $2.68 to provide each kid lunch. That's a bit over 24 billion per year. Doubling that cost would see it at just a hair below 50 billion. We've taken care of 5% of that just by doubling what's paid for school lunches, a pretty goddamn cheap thing that by itself will eat up a trillion bucks in just 20 years. You have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

>i literally have no arguments haha just listen to what I say lololo

>Pushing literal (((Global Warming))) global communist agenda
>Plays victim by stating "Now I'm a part of the global conspiracy"

When you push (((Global Warming))) agenda you are indeed declaring yourself apart of a global conspiracy. You can not separate (((Global Warming))) from the global effort by globalist political powers to enforce Communist style policy.

As to "who said anything about russia?". When you align yourself with the (((Global Warming))) agenda pushers of the left who are deep into the "Muh Russia did everything and nothing is our fault" agenda you will get lumped in whether you like it or not. In other words you can not be a supporter of (((Global Warming))) agenda without being drowned in the politics of the left. (((Global Warming))) = (((Leftist Political Agenda)))

>INB4 I am just here to support the (((science)))
Does not work that way.

Waste water is recyclable, though

this. if environmentalists don't kill themselves then they're not practicing what they preach

>When you have different opinion then me you, you align yourself with everything I'm against.
You're just a nut.

>Sacraficing our way of life for the future generations.

C.u.c.k.

You either do it collectively or you don't do it at all if you truly want results. That's how math works my fellow burger. This isn't about morals.

Bullshit. Prove that in any way.

My argument is the 93% of the valid opinions on the subject are telling you it's scientifically irresponsible to even the immediate future generations to behave this way. Your argument is that the 7% are the only ones NOT bought off, as BIG SOLAR bought out 97% of scientists in non-us countries.

Big issue why people have a problem with the global warming agenda is that people advocating for it are primarily demanding regulation on Europe and US, but seem to generally speaking leave China and India alone when it comes to criticism.

You've got people demanding that we need to build green energy sources in Africa with goverment money instead on your own nation's soil.

Global warming agenda is headed by people who are anti-western profits.

3rd world nations are the least of our problems when it comes to climate change. Unless you consider China and India third world.

Im assuming you used 3rd world to mean developing since the cold war is over.

Yes, developing is a better term.

That's 2nd world

Thats politics chump.

When you push leftist political agenda such as (((Global Warming))) you are officially talking politics. You can not play politics and not get dirty.

Also, you are on Sup Forums. All topics are viewed through a political lens. Want you push (((Global Warming))) and not be faced with the politics... Sup Forums will not be the place for you.
