Oh, for fuck's sake, the vast majority of supporters of moving to a more green economy aren't saying we need to stop using planes or trucks or cars. It's about transitioning to more renewable energy sources and seeking new technology to keep the economy going without continuing to pump vast amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. Stop equating extreme positions with everyone along the spectrum.
Unfortunately, that is not the case. Sustainable, and intelligent move towards using direct solar, wind, tidal energy, geothermal has been on the cards for a long time. However, the focused efforts to lift the poor around the globe to better conditions has required the added use of conventional energy sources (btw, they are all solar energy, coal, peat, oil etc). So now the wealthiest nations who waste the most energy.... do you really need 3000 Sq ft + homes, large SUVs etc, and 'stars' who waste more than anyone else (how much money and energy was spent on Jane Fonda's never ending cosmetics surgeries, activist travels etc), have found God, and want everyone else to repent. Living in Canada we need to heat our homes, period. If we are serious, we should stop all immigration, and we should all plan to move to a more temperate climate.
As for the ignorance, how many homes have their south facing windows with the blinds drawn down all winter... protecting their furniture from sun damage
. And we talk endlessly about climate change initiatives.
Real action is personal... walking that distance while not driving (EV, it's still energy, not self propulsion), smaller homes, one less child ... and stopping immigration... and all of us migrating to ... some new place warmer, but not too hot. All very inconvenient, so let's just yap some more. Btw, I'm enjoying burning more Shell V-Power 91 RON gasoline, so those who don't like it, can suck it up.
