the introduction of the idea of "climate justice"

not only do first world white countries need to cut their emissions to an economically cripplingly level low level, while at the same time not saying a PEEP when China and India and other asians do the vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions....

but ALSO now climate change also entails white people giving their money to third world countries to atone for their sin of maybe in the future third world countries suffer worse.... according to the "models". must gibs money now -- africa will spend the money on building dykes or something, so 1 bil per subsaharan country at least

China and India produce what the West consooms. Western countries (especially the US) have higher carbon emissions per capita than China and India.

They don't have the capacity to alleviate these emissions while they compensate for Western excess by exporting cheap commodities. Capital accumulates in Asia but it is a slow process and they are overpopulated. I would love to hold China and India to the same standards and they should be held to certain standards but then you would have to address the economic imbalance. Somebody somewhere on a council right now is trying to deal with this but nothing is going to happen without concessions. You're not allowed to tell poor third worlders to suck it up and accept our embargoes and emissions regulations if you're not going to assist them in lowering their emissions, because they literally functionally do not have the capacity to handle both without starving more people

yes, this is the standard argument for why China and India are the main drivers of global climate change. it doesn’t change the fact that they are in fact destroying the global climate. it also doesn’t change the fact that “climate justice” if a fraud unjustly applied on the EU and US, which is what causes this massive imbalance in global industrial demand which FORCES asian nations to fill the void of demand. it is not their fault that they are the only ones allowed to burn the gas and burn the coal needed to sustain the world. and nobody is allowed to build nuclear of course. the elites have picked this model, which incidentally ensures europe and the US have a horrible system where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer while China and India and southeast asia do all the greenhouse emissions that destroy the world while no actual technological improvements to energy infrastructure occur (because disrupting that would disrupt the elite power structure)

You'll never learn will you? EVs are required to have hydraulic brakes for safety. Modern EV batteries use a liquid cooling loop that uses your hated antifreeze. Most EVs use a gearbox to transfer power to the wheels because one motor is cheaper than 4.

? Tesla uses 11 liters of coolant, and a regular car will use a few liters. Can you be more specific with what models you are referring to in either scenario and how they relate to the overall market as a whole. I could argue that a regular ice vehicle has market support and staying power in spite of insatiable government taxes, while the green vehicles you wet yourself to have none with mountains of subsidies driving them.
EV cars are also going to have brakes. Regenerative braking is not fool proof and requires nice circumstance and cannot be a prime braking mechanism in any hazardous condition. The bottom line risk is failure of braking resistors which can be sudden and would immediately cause total failure of the braking system. Luckily some cars have redundancy here. Running electronics on such an unprotected system, one without something to keep generator voltage spikes down, could lead to extensive damage on other electronic components.

Climate change is a policy debate, not a scientific debate. There's a real debate to be had on which policy tools to use, who should bear the weight of the policy, how to avoid free-riding, etc. but the anti-intervention side of the debate would rather pretend climate change isn't an issue than provide good-faith arguments for their positions and propose viable alternatives.

Twice as much coolant as what? Other EV cars? And how many times the weight in batteries do they have compared to ice vehicles?
And you mentioned braking, so it is not irrelevant at all. Braking is optimally done through hydraulic fluid and I would wager a significant amount of money that EVs use more braking fluid, that is either a bigger reservoir or more frequency changes, on average compared to ice because of
1. higher weight to slow down

Ah yes you recognize a mildly relevant point which has no logical collection to the conclusion and then bring it up without even taking a moment to wonder why it was ignored in the first place. Classic midwit moment

National efficiency is universally measured per capita. Comparison of total military expenditures would have you think that Israelis are fucking hippies compared to Chinese people but that couldn't be farther from the truth. In a society where you at least attempt to value people equally rather than willingly enslave foreigners to work in sweatshops for your benefit you will calculate the actual magnitude of your personal negative externalities because that indicates how much a society actually contributes towards fighting climate change rather than. A rich country with trillions in capital, advanced technology, and a flexible economy unable to lower their carbon emissions per capita to even be competitive with sweatshop countries demonstrates the wastefulness that we can come to expect of industrialized nations.

Keep flying fucking planes to visit your friends a couple states away every holiday. What do you think that would look like if everyone in the world was doing it? That's the problem. Everyone in the world wants to be like us and we can't even manage it ourselves without pointing the finger at poorfags just trying to climb into the middle class.

It is acceptable and competitive to force internationally standardized carbon emission standards and hold China to them but it's wrong to look at China's total emissions and think that it's proof that we've invested and self-regulated more into the climate than they have. I'm not aware of how much effort China really has put in towards being green but they're obviously going to look like shit when they produce everything nowadays

No, taking a flight to the Bahamas every winter is not cleaning up your act. It doesn't matter how much cleaner your machines are if you use them 5x as much. The only "fair" way to balance this is to tax carbon emissions equally across the world. Then the holders of the most wealth will continue to pollute the most but at that point it will be a symptom of le capitalism and nothing else

If you want to continue to externalize dirty production to other countries then you can't count their emissions against them.

You're still not judging them for the same sin ie valuing profit over long term environmental effects. Here is the reason India and China are fucking up the planet, because their governments have too much control over their economies. This means their leaders can make all sorts of promises and even sign those promises into law, corruption will see all said promises swiftly undone. Another climate summit isn't going to do jiggity shit because national leaders can never enforce policies which will upset the established order. If tommorow Putin decides to end the war he will be killed and replaced. The ONLY way for us to take any sort of steps towards progress is to allow people to innovate in the free market.

I'm pretty sure they're just ignorant. They have no idea what "0 years before present" means and they vaguely assume that it's this year or maybe a couple years before when the graph was made. When a graph does include modern data the warming is so great and so sudden that they subconsciously deny that it could be happening and criticize it as being "Mann's hockey stick" which they were told by actual shills that Mann falsified and was later sued for.

The earth is becomming noticably greener. Since the 1980s, 29% of human CO2 emissions were cancelled out by the CO2-induced greening of the Earth. The post-2000 vegetative greening expansion has been so massive (5.4 million km2) its net areal increase is equivalent to a region the size of the Amazon rainforest.

And not with like absurd amount of CO2, but with the exact proportional composition as out Atmosphere has, then increasing it to the double and subsequently demonstrating a "wariming" effect?

Does any of the "CO2" meme ever exclude or include the influence of the asphaltation of the world?
Dos the Temperature meme ever include and correct for difference and density of weather stations arround the world and over time.

For example up until the 70s there wasn't even normed and standartized measurment techniques.
Nor did they measure all day, but only three times a day.
9am 3pm and 9pm.
Then adding all temps from each time together. Weighing the 9pm measurment twice and then taking the average.

Now they measure each hour and then take the average.

And frenzied doomsday cultists who enjoy all the comforts in the world say shit like this? Those billions of poorfags don't give a shit, they see what we have and they want it too and they'll do everything in their power to obtain it. I'd do the same.

Sagan was the same guy who got famous for shilling the "nuclear winter" meme, which was also another CIA lie. If he was shilling global warming that means its guaranteed to be fake.

If climate change was truly an issue that could be guided through human actions, then there would be significantly more obstacles for international travel especially among civilians. World governments have airports by the neck anyway so what's stopping them?
