RE: Is this the truth about the “climate change deniers”?

in #science7 years ago

Pretty cool article lennstar (sorry late to the party haha)
I see some people saying CO2's not a big deal right now etc.. But I just want to point out something real quick :

Many ideas like that comes from occidental peeps. Living in nice suburb areas where you get a pretty cool AQI 25 (It's the pollution index, based on many things but also the particules from cars and human trash). Now, get closer to countries like China, Vietnam or other over polluted ones where nature looks like a post apocalyptical world. And the fog is so dense you don't see 1m in front of you.

You'd wish the world to be green. (Actually I'm an occidental peep rom a nice suburb etc, but from my pov, we don't get how bad it is until we actually see it, especially in Europe or North America where we don't see such heavy problems, it seems far away and out of reach.)
Sorry for the rambling =))) Cheers !

Too bad the people on the top cannot feel it. It's not Trumps golf island that sinks right now, just the home of a few thousand poor people.

I am quite sure the reason why China is going so hard towards more eco friendliness is that they always have their biggest meetings in Beijing. They KNOW what smog combined with increasing desertification means.

Agree, and not only poor people, I forgot the name of the islands but some are pretty fortunate with big tourist economy, just they are 1m above sea level =/

Also Chinese people begun to complain about the Smog since a few years and so it is quite a problem there. But Trump's living the Paris agreement puts China on top of the discussions I guess, which is a good thing for them so economically and politically it aligns.

But in other countries they just manipulate the pollution numbers when big meetings happen haha -_-
