Climate change is a natural occurrence and shouldn't be shoved down our throats about how it'll end the world in x amount of years when it still hasn't really done anything.
@9WZXYSY2yrs2Y
Certainly, climate change is a occurs naturally as multiple forces contend on the surface of the planet, as well as above and below the surface. The human species has terraformed a majority of the land surface of the planet and measurably altered a significant portion of the water. Our impact is so great that our glowing metropolises can be seen from space. It is impossible that we have not become a powerful force that impacts the planetary climate and thus contributes to climate change. Therefore, why would that same human species, now aware of its global impact, not also take steps to mitigate any negative consequences we have caused?

Renewable energy is not a consistent or reliable energy source yet. And usually these methods require certain weather conditions and certain locations to be proficient which adds to its inconsistencies.
@V0t1ngJackrabbitGreen3yrs3Y
I understand your concerns, but I wanted to share that innovative solutions are being developed to tackle these challenges. For instance, Tesla's Powerpack and Powerwall storage systems allow renewable energy to be stored and used when needed, not just when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. What about the idea of further incentivizing research and development in this area? Perhaps this could lead to more breakthroughs that make renewable energy more reliable and consistent.

If politicians and these globalists really believed in climate change and wanted to do something about it they would quit flying around and their big jets quit driving SUVs and quit living in mansions that use massive amount of electricity they are nothing more than hypocrites that think they have the right to tell the peons how to live PS God's in charge of the climate not the politicians or the elites
“they are nothing more than hypocrites that think they have the right to tell the peons how to live PS God's in charge of the climate not the politicians or the elites”
I agree that a lot of politicians are hypocritical when it comes to issues, especially climate change. However, to slow global warming and save our planet, we need societal, not individual change. Unfortunately, politicians are the best candidates for changing our society. I'm also not going to be having religious discussions on this, but in the Bible, God did give humans free will, so how do we know that God is going to help with climate change? Better to put your trust in people that we at least know exist.

The making of solar panels and wind turbines requires vast amounts of fossil fuel in countries like China. The wind turbines are killing whales and birds and many other species. Solar farms require distraction of trees also important to ecosystems. In addition these forms of energy are very limited and inefficient. The USA has many of the cleanest water ways, healthiest forests on the planet. Science currently shows that fear concerning anthropogenic causes of climate change are small and most of the fear is being used for political goals.

The installations for such energy collectors are at risk of being built on fertile soil due to possible corruption attempts at local or federal level. Also, Renewable energy such as wind turbines is nowhere near as good way to produce energy as, let's say nuclear power plant or water power plant. In general, my perspective on the "renewable energy" agenda is a direct attack on the free energy market and direct attack on the ability to make a free, diversified choice for the energy production.
Proponents of renewable energy argue that it does not run out, but this advantage is negated by the fact that it is unreliable due to its dependence on changing weather conditions. It is far more costly than other alternative energy sources such as nuclear power and hydroelectricity. Renewable energy is also not as environmentally friendly as it might seem — the expanded use of wind power in particular often necessitates the clearing of forests and the disruption of aquatic habitats. Solar power is good in small doses but is too dependent on weather conditions to be used for the entire energy grid. Nuclear power and natural gas are the future.
