Nation-wide climate strike by students

Has this thread been re-opened?

Really interesting to see the diverse set of opinions.

If anything, Greta did a great job to get everyone thinking about climate change. I think that was part of the motive.

Time is a shit rag magazine though, I have a subscription to it and I feel like it's about 75% Trump-bashing content at this point. It got so old I basically just toss the mag in the recycle bin once I get it in the mail.

On a related note, how long does it take to get access to the political forum? I sent a note to budman and got a positive reply in December 5, 2018. Still waiting...

Trump content, either positive or negative, is cheap to write and sells. Of course most media companies will take the low hanging fruit instead of actually paying for good (and usually, expensive) journalism.

Look what to took to get real coverage about climate change. A teenager leading a global student walkout and climate strike, becoming an international phenomenon, then speaking before the UN and before Congress. The number of major issues that get almost no coverage is staggering.

It is binary if you support her vision of ecology.
The way I see it the capitalist West is doing pretty good in the big scheme of things. The fact that she still focuses on Western nations and that criticism of capitalism is fundamentally to her argument it's a clue to the real reason to anyone willing to see plain truth in front of them.

How much of the added pollution that india and china have been pumping out since the 2000's is the direct result of manufacturing from the west relocating overseas and ramping up an industrial base in order to feed that new manufacturing sector? And how much of that pollution is due to western corporations moving to cheaper labor markets?

Vast majority I would say.

I'm not sure where the "too political" line is and I'm not trying to step on Buds toes here
But I have to ask, if you agree with the leftists radicals behind Greta, that capitalism is the issue here. What evidence do you have that socialist planned economy would result in better ecological results?

How the hell is it okay to let this radical leftists bashing keep being repeated in the kitchen sink?

Take that shit to the polsink.

Corb is a troll. I'm not sure why we should expect better from him.

We shouldn't, but we should expect consistency with moderating trollish posts. It's apparent that his posts are being monitored, at least by Bud. :shrug

We are going as fast as we can. Each P Trap post needs agreement by 3 mods.
Several more are in the cue. If you look back you will see several being removed already.

And... I am busy everyday! :laughing

Sure, we are talking about posts made within the last hour and a half right now.

Bud and the mods should be able to take time choosing how to respond, especially since these are comments made after he specifically requested to stop posting politics in the thread.

BTW, I think that the P-Trap method for dealing with politics in KS is working quite well.

Posts and pages were ripping by there for a minute. Are there p-trap notifications? If not, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't see it.

Shit if USA just dropped to Swedish levels of consumption...

This.

Consumption AND profit motive is what's driving it.

And yes China and developing nations have to do their part as well.

Come on man. Are you fucking kidding?
 
I don't think Corb is a troll. He is just so far down the ideological rabbit hole he can't see the light anymore. Probably byproduct of growing up under Soviet rule.
 
We can move on or close the thread.

I would suggest we move on.

Corb has been suspended for 1 week for P Trap violations.
