so the privileged should continue to benefit from the benefits of fossil fuels as long as they purchase "offsets" but others can just give up things that make their lives better. it's easy to demand change when it doesn't cost you anything dear.Quote:

Right there is why you and all other wackos have ZERO credibility on this issue (and you have negative credibility overall). You think, pretend, the matter (the science) has been settled and either you accept the bullshit about man-made "climate change" OR!!!!!! you are in denial. I reject the premise.Quote:

There is NO DEBATE...climate change has been occurring for eons, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before man started using fossil fuels. Go ahead...deny that.
If you take someone like Bill Gates as an example, he doesn’t say we should stop using fossil fuels right now. That is a fringe group of activists. The serious activists believe in pushing the renewable shift faster than what would happen without intervention. They believe that the harms of global warming are not internalized in the cost of fossil fuels. It is an externality that society pays for regardless of who does the emitting. Buying an offset is one way of internalizing your costs if you maintain a carbon neutral footprint.Quote:

In the meantime he'll hunker down with the other libtard elitists and pretend they can buy "offsets" so they can continue to burn FF 100's of times faster than the average Joe.
I am not an expert, but I know I am more educated on the relevant sciences than you.Quote:

Great! so what science degrees do you hold, what experience do you have actually working in the field....etc...? I'm sure it is impressive!Quote:

I do think one needs certain scientific credentials to adequately evaluate claims. We are now being forced to accept the “science consensus” of Dr. Franken Fauci and the new Dem clown ADM.Quote:
