The River Thames has frozen over near London; a first in 60 years! Must be all that "Global Warming."

I've kept daily weather logs for over 20 years now as part of my business. I dont claim to be a pro on this stuff but our weather here is definitely different then from 20 years ago.

For us so far things are better. Less snow and cold and longer summers and amazing falls. Our springs are almost non existent now. We go from a shorter winter to a snow/ rain mix for like two months and then bam, in like a week it changes into hot summer.

I think your a fool if you deny that a change is happening but I do belive that the consequences are vastly overstated. I also believe that a lot of the green movements profit driven not true environmentalism to help the planet.

the glaciers are melting. We are bulldozing the rain forests. There have been many oil spills around the world, including the exxon valdez off the coast of alaska and the british petroleum(BP) oil spill off the coast of louisiana which have destroyed every creature that lives in those waters.

We are destroying the planet earth, our economies are crumbling, and the current political chaos is the result of the ultra rich scrambling to scrape the final crumbs off of our financial tables so that they can put another $200k of fuel into their megayachts.

omg, dont even look at this unless you want to lose your lunch, this river in the following video was fresh water and had plenty of fish in it twenty years ago, but now it is full of garbage.

Why do environmentalists always have to cram like 4 different political problems into one solution? There wouldn't be so much pushback on you guys if you guys didn't sound like lunatic utopians all the time.

i am not trying to cram four problems into one solution.. instead, i was just explaining to you that there are probably way more than four problems in this world, and there is not even one single solution, for we are quite simply beyond the point of no return..

fresh water is almost gone. we are experiencing some major fresh water shortages worldwide. when the fresh water runs out, every thing runs out and you will die.

the fish are dying... we built hydroelectric dams, which blocked the salmon from being able to swim back upstream to lay their eggs and so we penned them up and now they are all sick because they are living way too close to each other, or something like that, but you can bet that when you go to the supermarket and buy salmon that you are buying a diseased animal and that you are eating diseases.

the bees are dying.. the bees normally have a natural compass that tells them where they are flying from/to, but that compass has stopped working because FUCKING MONSANTO HAS SPRAYED FUCKING POISON ALL OVER THE CROPS WHICH IS KILLING THE BEES. When the bees die, the pollenation process stops and then pretty much all flowering plants will die, or something like that.. when that happens, you will die.

we have found it necessary to genetically modify our food crops to feed the ever increasing masses, and even though these genetically modified foods actually do look like food they are not actually food, but instead they are slowly poisoning our populations..

and, the little critters in our bodies have become resistant to the antibiotics..

and the list goes on and on and on.

and you think that i am trying to squeeze "four problems" into "one solution"?

no, i am explaining to you that we have so many problems and there is no solution.

we have gone way past the point of no return.

this planet simply can not support ten billion people.

and then mankind can return to making porno in peace.

the vaccines will be ready for distribution soon, and bill gates says that they are safe so that is good enough for me.

edit: and omg this is the cherry on the pie... this video is about a body of water that is the drinking water for los angeles i think, if i remember correctly... and they found that there was a buildup of a weird chemical of some sort, some weird word like bromide or whatever, it has been a while since i watched this video.. and so do you know how desperate of a move they made to stop the ever increasing levels of this bromide or whatever? they brought in NINETY SIX MILLION BLACK PLASTIC BALLS and dumped them into this body of water at a cost of approx thirty cents each.. so they spent something like $30,000,000.00 to put these black balls that float on the surface of the water which blocks the sunlight if i remember correctly? which allows that bromide or whatever crap to stop increasing? so that we can still drink that water? oh, here is the really bad news... those balls have a life expectancy of approx ten years.. so, in ten years they are going to need to purchase another $30,000,000.00 of black balls.

in closing sir, we are screwed as a species.

i suppose that you can call me an environmentalist, if you insist.

edit: i didnt mention to you that i actually do know of one possible solution to all of the above problems.. roughly, it involves approx 90% of our species moving to another planet in another universe, in other words 90% of us have got to go..

ok, the vaccines are ready..

who's on first?

We're using up resources at around twice the replacement rate, and that's projected to triple by 2050.

    We might be seeing a decrease in Texas right now.

    I've seen references to the various projected 'reductions in populations' by the so called elites, but haven't studied any of them. It's pretty nuts how things have come to this point.

    So the environment is really simple, is it, and not connected to global weather patterns, corporate greed, corrupt politicians, etc. etc? The pushback is often from well-funded right-wing news and social media that are actively trying to keep people confused. It's not utopian or lunacy to note the problems with several interconnected global developments. Perhaps you're thinking of vegans or far-left arguments that fail to balance the discourse. No one takes those people seriously. But climate change can and should be limited.

    So the environment is really simple

    You guys say that, yet you're the ones with the overly simple cookie cutter solutions all the time. There's always a boogeyman like corporate greed or corrupt politicians, but don't worry, all these problems will vanish with our ideological dogma and throw in some stuff about UBI and environmental racism just for good measure.

    [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

    No - I am not oversimplifying the argument (eg. with only boogeyman, or greed &c). I am trying to unpack the complexity of it. My first comment has a question after it. I am not the group of "you guys" that you suggest.

    [–]insta 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

    I am not the group of "you guys" that you suggest.

    The first thing you did as imply that I don't think global warming is a problem or that it's a simple fix. You guys always do this. Anyone who might have a problem with your rhetoric or ideology immediately must deny climate change. It's like talking with a stereotype everytime.

    [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

    It's apparent that we don't understand each other.

    My rhetoric and ideology is NOT necessarily what's at issue here. The discussion has been mainly about climate change, or whatever it is to be called, or what it is or what it isn't.

    [–]insta 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

    And my argument is environmentalists cannot talk uninterrupted without somehow winding their arguments to "We need to overthrow capitalism in the name of the whales". It's absurd and way too many environmentalists do this.

    [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    ROFL: "We need to overthrow capitalism in the name of the whales"

    That ain't me, but who knows. I'll keep this in mind.

    the glaciers are melting.

    And have been since the ice age ended. There is absolutely no reason to think anything that has been proposed to stop it would have any effect other than to give more control to the dictators and make the 1% far richer.

    We are bulldozing the rain forests.

    There are more trees today than there were 100 years ago. We have developed amazing technology that allows us to plant millions of trees with ease. And nature has an amazing ability to recover. All the claims that there is irreparable harm done is bullshit that an alarmist pulled out of their ass to scare you into doing what they want. There is not one single scientifically verifiable claim that should make you think deforestation is destroying the world. It is unfortunate, forests are beautiful, but it's nice to not have a famine.

    There have been many oil spills around the world

    Oil companies are in fact owned by the most despicable people around. Almost as bad a bankers. We definitely need stronger laws to protect the environment from oil companies who have done some abhorrent things like dumping dispersants onto oil spills instead of cleaning them up, which created an extremely toxic byproduct that they just left to kill everything. Oil company execs deserve to all be executed.

    We are destroying the planet earth

    That is a meaningless claim. Forest fires used to regularly destroy huge swaths of the "world" which are now controlled by humans. Volcano eruption destroy entire islands of life, only to have life reemerge a few decades later. A meteorite literally changed the face of the planet, and arguably its much better now than before. Shit changes, the planet will survive just fine. It's a fucking planet.

    our economies are crumbling

    That is entirely controlled by bankers.

    and the current political chaos is the result of

    They aren't scrambling. They create chaos to control you. They also create doomsday theories like global warming to control you. Fear is the easiest way to control people. They make you fear war, economic collapse, racism, global warming, germs and viruses, shortages of resources, over population, population collapse, famine, super volcanoes, asteroids, solar flares, magnetic reversal, and whatever else you are dumb enough to get scared by.

    and this video is a tribute to the elite rich and how they live while they destroy our environment

    Don't be so envious of the rich. The reality is that the pollution you posted in the first video is not caused by the rich in Monoco but by the poor people living next to that river. The reality is when you go go the ghetto you find that the streets are always covered in garbage. It's the poor who pollute. Or rather the stupid who pollute, who also happen to be poor because of their low intelligence. The solution to pollution is eugenics.

    our economies are crumbling because we simply do not have enough natural resources to support a population of ten billion people. When there are no more potatoes, for example, neither dollars nor bitcoin will be able to purchase a potato, no matter how many dollars and bitcoins you possess.

    We are bulldozing the rain forests.

    once it is gone, it is gone, and you are not gonna get it back.. we are clearing land to grow crops and to raise farm animals so that we can feed our ever increasing populations. At some point, we will cross that magical point of no return, and the sad news is that we may have already crossed that line.

    that just isn't true. they tell you that there is a famine when they start geocoding people with starvation. The famine is artificial. It's all just population control.

    once it is gone, it is gone, and you are not gonna get it back.

    Wrong. Trees can be replanted. The whole claim that if we lose too many species of ants that everything collapses forever is propaganda. You have been lied to about the environment your entire life. The line of no return is propaganda. There is zero evidence for such a claim. There is a mountain of evidence for "life finds a way".

    Without clicking the link, I double-guarantee that river will be in a POOR country.

    Rich countries don't pollute. The worst pollution i've seen is when riding through poor countries, not rich ones.

    Glaciers often melt, and as they do they are revealing the remains of life under them, that was thriving before the area froze over. That should teach you something?

    No one as ever denied that weather changes. It has in fact always been constantly changing. That it changes does not mean that any of the global warming predictions of doom are true.
