Climate change is the absolute most critical issue humanity faces today.

It has to take priority over everything else.

This means building nuclear powerplants as soon as possible to enable us to close coal, gas and oil plants, it means building winmills on indegious land if that is the best place to build them.

You’re absolutely right and don’t deserve the animosity you’re getting in this thread.

Thank you, I mean no disrespect to anyone who are fighting for a just cause, but activism dilution is absolutely a thing I see with regards to Greta

Yeah, it’s a problem in general. People can’t be experts on everything, and most contentious issues have at least two sides and a lot of complexity. Yet a lot of people go around pushing their strong opinions on others.

The difference is that it’s not going to stop anyway because China’s not going to stop burning coal. It’s a global issue, not a local one.

How about we tear down your home and neighborbood and build a windfarm over it? You will also not be compensated in any way or enough. I accept no arguments here, this is literally what you’re saying is okay to do to someone else.

That is not what anyone has suggested we should do to indegious people and their homes. This type of strawman arguments are extremely counter-productive.

So far, I have not heard that they were going to tare down the houses to build the wind farm, do you have a source about that?
