Climate change and the fossil fuel industry

Climate change is inevitable. It has changed in the past long before human intervention and it will change in the future no matter what we do about it. This is natural order in the works, period.

Unfortunately, environmental lobbyists and their roommates (Democrats) don't get the aforementioned fact and want to kill the American fossil fuel industry (Obama administration has nearly killed coal mining industry for example). Do these idiots understand that even if they kill the American fossil fuel industry, they cannot do jack about it in other countries? Do they even understand the implications of killing American fossil fuel industry for the economy and working classes irrespective of race? What is the alternative according to these morons? How about they abandon all forms of technology, shift to caves and experience natural environment at its finest there?

The 6th mass extinction is underway, we may as well go hard now and kill as much of the diversity of life as possible. We should also finish off what we started in the rainforests--cut all of them down and replace them with strip mines and farms.

And those polar ice caps aren't going to melt themselves. They need our help so that they can raise sea levels and force hundreds of millions of people to flee diminishing coastlines. Then we can look back on the comparatively insignificant refugee crisis of the early 21st century with whimsical nostalgia.

But don't take our jawbs.

😆 Excellent Post, Wonderful Satire.

Of course the ice caps aren't going to melt themselves. The Russians are behind climate change. We need to go on the offensive! Russian boogeyman are destroying this planet.

They are behind every negative thing in the world bro. Did you stub your toe once as a child? Yeah, the Russians did it. I mean an electrical grid was one thing, but causing climate change? That is going too far.

Ever heard about El-Nino and La-Nina? This phenomenon is millions of years old and affects biodiversity in a natural way. Some species will perish and newer ones will evolve. Like I said, this is natural order in the works.

For a layman, global warming and global cooling are natural trends and will occur regardless of fossil fuel industry in the picture or not. We cannot preserve the world in its present state. If an Ice Age is to come, it will come regardless of our activities. If a super-volcano (e.g. Yellowstone) is to erupt, it will erupt regardless of our activities. We cannot alter the course of natural order. Polar caps have melted before and will melt again.

Fossil fuel industry is the lifeline of economy of a large number of countries. This industry has changed out life-style for the better.

Prematurely killing fossil fuel industry is not wise and will eventually destroy the economy. Encourage eco-friendly Industrial revolution but not at the cost of millions of jobs and sinking the economy of the country.

U.S. is a huge country with 174 million hectares of arable land. I don't think that American fossil fuel industry is even close to threatening all of it and neither it is present in every state. In-fact, shale industry has minimum impact on the well-being of environment. Coal mining industry is not wide-spread either.

If a forest becomes a casualty of industry in one region, plant a large number of trees in another region to offset any imbalance.

Otherwise, why bother building large cities even? Why not live in caves?

In short, stop kidding yourselves and destroying the livelihood of others for the sake of a misinformed lobby that has emerged as a threat to jobs of millions of people and the economy itself. You cannot survive on energy (imports) for an indefinite period. National Debt is piling up and increasing the cost of living accordingly. It is only a matter of time until the investors feel that the Titanic is sinking; bail.

The only reason climate change is a politicized issue is because Big Oil stands to lose profits with the emergence of clean renewable energy.

And as we all know, Republicans embrace Big Oil lobbyists by accepting their campaign contributions

Greed in this country has a nasty habit of holding back progress.

Yes never mind the fact that regardless of the impacts of climate change, pollution from fossil fuels acidifies the ocean, which is where phytoplankton are, which is where 50% to 85% of the atmosphere's oxygen comes from 👆

Nah but **** our environment and our oxygen supply, let's continue to be a bunch of greedy swines and **** up this closed system we live in just so some of the richest people in the world can get richer.

Let's just cover our ears and ignore what the vast majority of scientists are telling us just so we won't feel guilty and afraid of what we're doing, just so we can feel content with our current way of life and delude ourselves into thinking we don't need to change it. And of course so we can worship our lord and savior the free market 👆

Hells yeah! I mean I doubt we'll have to suffer any major consequences in our own lifetimes, so who cares, amirite?

I'm glad you see he isn't a puppet. You're doing good, real good.

Surely all one needs to do to convince Trump is to show him the 100% conclusive evidence on climate change and global warming and all that shiznit.

Once he gets in office and he gets that stuff I think he will perhaps change his tune.

I always knew you were a climate change denier. 🙁

Look at this:

Notice the percentage of petroleum in use? That is not changing anytime soon. Electric cars are a step in the right direction but they will not replace other cars in 2017.

No problem with promoting alternatives but change should come with planning; not in a haphazard way. If you will stop extracting fossil fuels, you will have to import them from other countries and this is contributing to trade deficit (exports < imports). National debt is climbing as a consequence and cost of energy is increasing. Jobs opportunities are limited and people have to struggle more to pay the bills. Rich (including politicians) are profiting while working classes continue to suffer. The economy will continue to experience periods of recession.

It is really stupid to ignore economics for the sake of appeasing a lobby. Please understand that climate change is inevitable and a part of natural order.

Our fight should be directed towards pollution. But stopping the industry and reliance on imports for domestic energy requirements is not a sustainable goal.
