Tbh, I don't give a shit. We have a massive overpopulation problem. I have embraced the darkness. Might as well go out with a bang.
Peace is a lie. There is only Passion.
Through Passion I gain Strength.
Through Strength I gain Power.
Through Power I gain Victory.
Through Victory my chains are Broken.
The Force shall free me.

I think we need to be clear about which environmental issues we talk about.
TBH the boggst one by far is environmental pollution and devastation. I hear China, for instance, is in terrible environmental shape.

Exactly, the sad reality is that it seems as though focusing on global warming has pushed pollution to a back seat. We have the great pacific garbage patch, the atlantic garbage patch, islands covered in plastics/trash, that is a today problem.......except that its not.

Indeed, think of all the cool species we might be stopping from returning somehow. You can't prove 100% that there aren't dinosaurs hibernating in the center of the earth waiting to return one day. You just can't prove it. I dare you to prove it. The planet is just waiting to give birth to a T-Rex.
Anyways, for no particular reason at all:

Right. We talk about leaving a better world for our children and many of us are going apeshit over the carbon and green house gas issues. That's not the real issue. We will go through the warming, anyway. Just faster. Nothing we can do about that at this point, actually. Not sure why we focus so hard on that.
We need to focus more on making the world cleaner for all life to live in, at this point. As a secondary benefit, green house gas emissions would also be reduced.

Yes, these are some of the things I had in mind.

Oh, so now all the deniers are on board and are just saying, "Oh, well, too late anyway. Just bring it on."Well good job, morons. If you hadn't been morons maybe it wouldn't be too late.
Maybe if we kept our eye on the ball and didn't let pollution get so out of control in turn we would have been more mindful of greenhouse gasses as well.
Planned obsolescence will never coincide with saving the earth through conservatism of energy/things. The companies are too greedy.
Take cars. More and more components are being made of cheap plastics and less metals. They claim it's to save weight, but aluminum is similar in weight but far stronger as a material.
It's certainly possible for a well-maintained older vehicle to out-live any modern car. It's also cheaper.

Is anyone in this thread a denier?
We can go back to 2008, on KMC, and see evidence that I'm not a denier.
And, according to the scientific community, it has been too late for many years, now.
This video really brings it up (it's dramatized, but actually sought to capture the real situation as part of the show):

That's a really irresponsible and f#cked up thing to say, to want millions of people to die from horrible storms, drought, and famine. It's not gonna be just a few tides rising. It will lead to some really f#cked up shit for the less fortunate.
And we wouldn't have so much of an overpopulation problem if we'd use our resources more wisely.

Pollution has always been on the table as a problem/not a problem though, well, at least since the late 50's/early 60's. People have argued "pollution is becoming a problem" and "nope, no pollution problems, keep on keeping on" since then,
It's also hard to separate man-made climate change from pollution, they're intermixed. The reason we're heating up faster than normal/natural, is because of pollution.
