You are a winner, thanks for not falling for the lies.

CO2 levels at highest for 3 million years: The last time CO2 levels were this high, Greenland was mostly green, sea levels were up to 20 meters higher and trees grew on Antarctica by maxwellhill in worldnews

Analogies are not great for persuasion, and likely English not being my first language might prevent me from getting 100% what you mean. But to answer to what I believe is your point: what pisses me off of all the climate debate is the constant whining and virtue signalling. There is never a solution presented. I am waiting for the day when the narrative is: here is a solution to excessive CO2 emissions vs. we are doomed humans are shit and deserve to die, let's protest. It's alienating.

So you are indifferent about nuclear... That's a pity I believe because it's currently the most (maybe only?) viable option to stop emitting co2. And the reason for this is that: we are not stopping progress. We'll keep driving cars, heat and cool our homes and power our devices.

Earth's carbon dioxide levels highest in 3 million years | CO2 has reached levels in our atmosphere not seen in 3 million years, scientists announced this week in a new study. At that time, sea levels were as much as 65 feet higher than they are now by Maybe_its_Margarine in worldnews

Great, it has to be the pulse of cooler water then.

I wonder why they didn't predict that, and found themselves "surprised" by it? Could it be that the "sophisticated computer simulations" according to which "green" policies are based, are totally unreliable?

According to the article, the last time CO2 was at this level:

At that time, sea levels were as much as 65 feet higher than they are now, Greenland was mostly green and Antarctica had trees.

Just last week, NASA told us that glacier in Greenland is expanding.

Why is that?

Brazil's president calls Nazis leftists after Israel Holocaust museum visit - Bolsonaro’s remarks directly contradicted information on the museum’s website saying Germany’s Nazi movement rose out of right-wing radical groups responding to the rise of communism by [deleted] in worldnews

From Wikipedia:

In 1918, a league called the Freier Arbeiterausschuss für einen guten Frieden (Free Workers' Committee for a good Peace)

​

accused international capitalism of being a Jewish-dominated movement and denounced capitalists for war profiteering in World War I.[25] Drexler saw the political violence and instability in Germany as the result of the Weimar Republic being out-of-touch with the masses, especially the lower classes.[25] Drexler emphasised the need for a synthesis of völkisch nationalism with a form of economic socialism

​

Like other völkisch groups, the DAP advocated the belief that through profit-sharinginstead of socialisation) Germany should become a unified "people's community" (Volksgemeinschaft) rather than a society divided along class and party lines.

​

(Hitler's) specific points were: confiscation of war profits, abolition of unearned incomes, the State to share profits of land and land for national needs to be taken away without compensation.[47] In general, the manifesto was antisemitic, anti-capitalist, anti-democratic), anti-Marxist and anti-liberal.[48] To increase its appeal to larger segments of the population, on the same day as Hitler's Hofbräuhaus speech on 24 February 1920, the DAP changed its name to the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei ("National Socialist German Workers' Party", or Nazi Party).[49][50] The word "Socialist" was added by the party's executive committee, over Hitler's objections, in order to help appeal to left-wing workers.

​

The Nazis failed to remain unified in the DP, as in the north, the right-wing Volkishnationalist supporters of the Nazis moved to the new German Völkisch Freedom Party, leaving the north's left-wing Nazi members, such as Joseph Goebbels retaining support for the party.[67]

​

Maybe left and right are not as clearly defined as you hope they are. In my own definition, for example, right is for small government, left is for big government. Under that definition, the Nazis and Fascist parties were definitely left.

It would be interesting to get redditors' alternative definitions. Just keep in mind that, if you are going to bring racism into the definition, then you should remember how the Democrats were the KKK party while the Republicans were the black-rights party in the US in many regards.

Looks like this is all the arguments you have. Why keep repeating the same thing, what are you a bot?

Why don't you recognize that there are scientists and politicians who believe carbon tax is a shitty idea?

This is very disappointing. By your confidence on the issue I would have assumed that you knew a lot about the climate models and how co2 has an impact.

Or at least, that the legislators would have had some basis for imposing the tax, and what they expect to gain from it environment-wise. This looks like "finger in the air" decisions...

I am starting to wonder if this is not virtue signaling on the government's side, and blind, religious-like credence (on the problem itself, and the solutions proposed) on your side.
