Politics Climate Change Paradox (cont in part 2)

[Seeds]

We have more than enough water overall. However, we don't have the capacity to store it and divert it to where it's needed.
There seems to be no real political will to change this. Dams are bad. Pipelines too expensive.
We also need to have a long hard look at what we're currently growing.
The ongoing resistance of transitioning from cotton to hemp, (as an example), is instructive.


Indeed, but the current trend/fad towards plant based diets will only see it increased.

If people start dying due to thirst then you may be surprised how quickly the political will changes to do something about it.

I'm not sure it's 15 countries that she has sued, from what I can find is she and 15 other teenagers have sued or trying to sue five countries.
Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, and Turkey.
Don't know what the criteria for selecting those countries was.
They say they are suing them because they have violated their rights as children by not taking sufficient steps against climate change.
Bat s**t insanity if you ask me. Why not include China or India or Indonesia or Bangladesh? China is the worlds biggest polluter.
What about the corporations? why not sue them too?

i bet they all have a nice new smart phone and tablet though...those eco warriors that they are

Well its clearly not targetting the west then is it. Only two western countries included and germany and france are cleaner then most other western countries. How odd. Wonder what the reason is.

Edit - here is the reason. They were named since they are the highest emitters that have ratified the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child, on which the complaint is built. China, USA, Saudi Arabia, Russia etc haven’t.

We dont have enough drinking water with current infrastructure. Its the infrastructure thats the constraint with drinking water. The planet is full of water.

If people start dying due to thirst then you may be surprised how quickly the political will changes to do something about it.

Drinking water is not the issue, but even if it was, it makes your 10 storey inner city farming operations even less feasible.

Same issue with fresh water. If there are significant economic gains to be made with expanding infrastructure for fresh water then it will be done.

However energy will soon become basically free at which point the whole equation changes.

Lol how soon?

If people start dying due to thirst then we’ve had a massive systemic collapse where the ability to do something about has entirely disappeared.

How on earth is someone as dumb as you so confident?

You were responding to a self declared farmer. ?

Six towns in QLD are already trucking water. There are several in NSW likewise, and disturbingly even some 20,000 population ones like Tamworth are getting close.

Many farmers have suicided! They get to reducing stock to breeders, then have no income, some in the recent drought in 2000-2009 NSW couldn't afford the bullets or petrol to shoot them (the struggling remainder)!

"Political will", IS ******ED, because of people like YOU!


Sheeeeeellllllll be right!

"When we have cheap near free energy"
" When we farm in 10 story buildings"
" When we go to Mars"
etc

If you are a reverse troll (Ie stating the opposite case , of your real opinion, to fuel anger and dedicated opposition)
then well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More likely you're simply a hopeless moron.
But, we are here to help you!

However only if you take note and drop the pretentious BS!, and listen up!

Dont give me this poor farmers bullsh**. Pay for insurance to protect youself against drought and if you cant handle it get out of the industry and find something new like everyone else. No one is forcing you to be farmers.

Farmers always cry poor and ask for handouts during bad times despite not getting properly insured and never give back their handouts back to the public during plentiful times. Socialists in bad times and capitalists during the good.

You are a genuine moron.

There is no such thing as drought insurance.

Just another city dickhead with no idea but lots to say.

There have been drought insurance programs for farmers across the world for well over a hundred years. If there are parts of australia where you cant get insurance then it means its not profitable to insure which means farming shouldnt happen in these places. The economics of farming is no different to any other exercise.

Stop making up shit you idiot, it's embarrassing.

Farming groups call for drought insurance tax breaks

Farming groups will use the Prime Minister's Drought Summit to push for tax incentives to encourage farmers to insure themselves for drought.

www.abc.net.au

"Multi-peril crop insurance is widely used overseas, and pays farmers out when natural disasters wipe out crops.

Farmers here have been reluctant to use the products because of their complexity and the perception they cost too much."

I.e Australian farmers dont want to pay the cost of insurance cos they know the public will bail them out with drought relief a large share of the time.

So there isn't one, is there.

Nice try though.

The rest of your post is meaningless, factless, farmer hating bullshit.

Come back when you've got something...anything.

I believe Queen Thunberg! This is a mass genocide. The world is going to end soon. Everyone quit your jobs, stop going to school, stop caring about anything! Just sit outside with signs and your demands to stop this catastrophe! How dare you (not)?!

Except when it comes to halal foods, sharia law, etc. We need more of those. These will help to address climate change and appease Thunberg's anxiety so the more of these, the better. We need to do everything we can to make Mother Greta Thundberg happy.

No, seriously, if you want to stop going to school (and be a loser) or quit your job because you think the world is going to end just because a child said so, go ahead. I'll keep working on improving myself and my life (and making more money AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!) while you continue being a loser.

^Get a life loser. If you really want to improve yourself then quit being so riled up over a teenage girl with autism that was used as a political pawn.

There was no message, apart from meaningless platitudes with no factual basis, and a hell of a lot of ...ummm...emotion.

This kid is, allegedly, an Asperger's sufferer, and her parents are very well locally known far left wing vegan activists.

What possible chance did she have?

Her parents should be locked up for child abuse.

again am wondering whether those that are so quick to defend greta would do the same should it have been a kid putting forward far right views...

Can you find a post on here telling you to take her seriously because she's a teenager?
Of course you can't.

Can you see multiple posts on here telling her that you should ignore the science? Of course you can.

 

[its free real estate]

Thunberg isn’t a scientist and says she can see CO2, a colourless, odourless gas that can only be detected using specific equipment. There is nothing scientific to Thunberg, she is instead a messianic figure.

Her name is soph

exactly. And the witch hunt isn't even comparable. Soph is excommunicated and banned from everything.

Greta will get a Nobel prize
