    • @Mephitinae
      @Mephitinae 4 роки тому

      @Jane Smith Traditional animal agriculture never affected the climate. Instead of grazing on natural grass, cows are now being fed massive amounts of soy, corn, and other crops that have to be farmed... and harvested... and processed... and shipped... and then the meat has to be processed, shipped, refrigerated... which all produces CO2 emissions. The point is, MEAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. The real domino effect was the global population boom that led to the creation of industrial farming and global food distribution networks.
      Solution? Just eradicate a few billion people and we're gucci. Covid is doing the best it can, but we need something more effective.

      That's because it's actually the smallest issue because it's easily avoidable: just use a different aerosol. The video even mentioned that in the ozone depletion disadvantage. Instead of using Sulfur, we could use calcite (as the video mentioned), zinc oxide, titanium oxide, or aluminum oxide. To the best of my knowledge, any one of these would actually be *more* effective than zinc (alumina in particular would be 1000x more effective - that's not an exaggeration- but it would have more environmental impact than the other ones I mentioned).

      @@Saplingbat The problem with humanity is seeded in our hypocrisy. Take yourself for instance... You likely get all of your food from a grocery store. Probably quite a bit of it is highly processed in big factory's to make it taste better. All that food is delivered on trucks and harvested by tractors. Then you still need to drive to go pick it up from the store! Between growing, processing and getting it to your house its a pretty huge mark up on emissions over say growing your own food on your own property.
      You likely have a yard in front of your house where you grow a large useless patch of grass. See where I am going here?
      Instead of buying food from the grocery store we could very easily put in some extra physical effort ourselves to convert our useless lawns into a garden/farmland and make real personal impact on how much emissions you contribute to. Can you imagine how much positive change there would be if every lawn in the world was converted into farm land and gardens?
      Now, knowing all this, will you go out tomorrow and start converting your lawn into a garden? Nope. Instead you will tell yourself some kind of an excuse to make yourself feel better - some kind of mental gymnastic to assure yourself that its okay for you not to put in that extra effort or sacrifice those extra luxury's. Then its back to buisness as usual. Like water off a ducks back.

      Hi, I just left a lengthy comment myself and I purposely left out the point you raised “Trust”, (I left this out cos my comment was long enough).
      No one seems to trust thier governments to work in the interests of All its citizens .
      This unfortunately is the result of ‘Big Money’ in politics , I hate to admit this but climate change is always going to be an uphill battle it’s the way governments work, BUT just because the battle is hard is no reason for us not to fight it , we do posses the tools to do this even if those tools don’t appear obvious , for example using a politicians conscious against him, say for instance a politician that is hell bent on voting for something detrimental to climate change problem, you can show him/her the type of problems that his kids or grandkids are going to face partly due to his own decisions/greed .
      Lastly I do understand why you wouldn’t put faith in any one body being incharge of such an operation , but instead of not trying why not look at the problem itself , if it was something agreed by all governments it may mean that finally we all agree that a solution is needed , trust will then hopefully work it’s way in to all of us before it’s to late , I say that cos when we reach a tipping point only a radical idea will work, and with radical ideas come radical, unforeseen fallout which may end up worse than the solution it was meant to be .

We know the cost of war, especially after events in WW1 and WW2. Thus we try to keep things calm, but if someone steps out of line, they're going to get a spanking. In the end we realize that frankly, sh*t happens, and most of the time there's nothing we can really do about it.
      I just wish some people would realize that we've only just came out of a dark age and we're still feeling the effects of them, like the Cold War, the World Wars, Equality fighting from all the way back in the late 1800s and early - mid 1900s as we've seen throughout this year with the Floyd Incident. within the next 50-200 years there's going to be a lot of changes. and climate change will be addressed because it'll be presented as everyone's problem one way or another.
