Just to be clear, once again, for Warmists, the debate is not about a changing climate, it is about causation. Warmists say it is mostly/solely caused by Mankind, yet they won’t modify their own behavior to match their beliefs. Strange, eh? Anyhow, Tali Trigg has an interesting essay regarding “climate change” and true environmentalism
If Climate Change Was Not Real…
… there would be a lot of other environmental issues to deal with. This is no big revelation, but it’s a question I’ve been pondering recently: What is the state of the world, not counting climate change? Or rather, what if we managed to reduce CO2 emissions to necessary levels, what would our focus be on then?
Don’t get me wrong, climate change is real, and if you need a proper education on why it is, please see John Oliver’s excellent ribbing on the topic. Rather, what I am wondering here is: what are the pressing environmental issues left, once climate change is left outside the conversation?
There are two reasons for asking this question: first, perhaps climate change is side-lining other environmental issues that need urgent attention; second, perhaps there are synergies between “solving†climate change and the other issues.
Mr. Trigg notes that real environmental issues are being discussed less and less in the media.
What got me thinking about non-climate-change issues was an article in The Guardian newspaper on June 24th, showing results from a report that the global food supply might be in peril due to insecticides. This sounds like Silent Spring all over to me, and unfortunately it appears to be pretty much along those same lines. The End of Food? I hope not.
Le sigh. Getting beyond the notion of Silent Spring being a huge load of mule fritters, and responsible for millions and millions of deaths worldwide, this is one of my big pet issues with “climate change”, or whatever you want to call it today: Warmists fold all sorts of real environmental issues under the banner of their Warmist cult.
