I'll eat beef and dairy every day, we just need to only produce 10% of what we're currently producing and everyone in Ireland can eat beef and dairy every day. We can give the other 90% of land used for exported beef and dairy back to nature. How bout dat?

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for seven days. Eventually, Michael the archangel found him. He inquired of God, "where were you?". God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds; "look son, look what I'm after making". Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "what is it?" God replied, "it's another planet but I'm after putting LIFE on it. I've named it Earth and there's going to be a balance between everything on it. For example, there's North America and South America. North America is going to be rich and south America is going to be poor, and the narrow bit joining them - that's going to be a hot spot. Now look over here. I've put a continent of whites in the north and another one of blacks in the south. And then the archangel said, "and what's that green dot there?". And God said "ahhh that's the Emerald Isle - that's a very special place. That's going to be the most glorious spot on earth; Beautiful Mountains, lakes, rivers, streams, and an exquisite coast line. These people here are going to be great craic and they're going to be found traveling the world. They'll be playwrights and poets and singers and songwriters. And I'm going to give them this black liquid which they're going to go mad on and for which people will come from the far corners of the earth to imbibe. Michael the Archangel gasped in wonder and admiration but then seeming startled proclaimed: "Hold on a second, what about the BALANCE, you said there was going to be a balance.. God replied wisely. "Wait until you see the neighbours I'm going to give them"

"What are YOU doing then, huh? huh?"It's a fallacious argument which proposes anyone who is not flawlessly perfect and beyond criticism is not allowed to criticise anything. This is the default go-to of selfish simpletons who doesn't want to discuss the issue at hand and would rather not have to change anything about themselves. The implication is that if you're not out on the streets fighting off rapists, then you must implicitly support them. Which is plainly stupid.

Thelonious Monk wrote: » Yeah I don't for a second think we're going to change anything in Ireland, but worldwide we need to be giving land back to nature and changing our diets, along with stopping our reliance on fossil fuels, if we want to fix this mess. I wont hold my breath though.
Pa ElGrande wrote: » Don't be so selfish you personally can improve the planet by taking that one simple step.
seamus wrote: » Not really. As they say "when the poor have nothing left to eat, they will eat the rich". This isn't a situation that has any historical analogue. Eventually money will be meaningless, no way to buy yourself out of it. The elites have always relied on their money to buy them protection from revolutions and uprisings using the poor as a shield. But when that money is worthless, they have nowhere to go.

There is a finite level of emissions we can produce before it all goes to ****e anyways. It's not like if we cut emissions by 50% the earth can handle it and things will stay as they are now, things will get worse but just half as fast. So, it doesn't really matter what we do. It's either we experience the extremes of climate ourselves or else we just kick the can down the road so 2 or 3 generations time experience it. I see no difference.

...as the number of pirates in the world has decreased over the past 130 years, global warming has gotten steadily worse. In fact, this makes it entirely clear that if you truly want to stop global warming, the most impactful thing to do is -- become a pirate.

There have been lots of good environmental suggestions in this thread already, including from people who don't believe in climate Armageddon 11.5 years from now. And clocks? WTF is that about? Whats your own position on nuclear power? Wind farms? Its "environmentalists" that normally oppose these kind of solutions.
