You get climate denial everywhere, even on HN.

Read the comments in the Wall Street Journal and it’s 100 times as bad.

This should have been a warning to people a decade ago that we weren’t going to do enough to solve the problem.

One group goes to one extreme trying to shame people into not flying, for example. While the other extreme undoes policy that tries to reduce emissions.

When do we start drilling in Alaska?

They had to shut down some nuclear reactors in 2019 in Norway because the ocean water was too warm. Nuclear requires a highly organized society to function. Nuclear is a huge risk since it's getting more probable our societies will collapse in the future. Who will maintain these nuclear power plants when people struggle to feed themselves? We need to start winding down our consumption, not replace it with nuclear power.

People need to stop heating their homes otherwise you don’t think they believe in climate change?

There are over 100,000 global flights a day. Emissions for the air industry amount to 2% yearly.

We really need to start with the big emitters.

Optimizing the airline industry while coal is 40% of emissions is sort of a “penny wise pound foolish” attitude.


>while coal is 40% of emissions

So lets start with replacing those with nuclear and not nuclear plats being replaced with coal.

>People need to stop heating their homes otherwise you don’t think they believe in climate change?

Yup start wearing a sweater. I believe in pollution and keep my usage to a minimum.


Ah, climate scientists are against nuclear or GMO?

Do you have any link to those papers against nuclear?


You have, quite expectedly, completely failed to grasp my point.

Our perspectives on this topic could not be more diametrically opposed.

Perhaps your epistemology needs a checkup? How many other things have you read that fundamentally disagree with you, yet you have incorrectly inferred they did not?


Please don't make the thread even worse by breaking the site guidelines yourself. Personal attacks, in particular, are not welcome here. Nor is flamewar perpetuation.
