@augustus speaking of #Japan `s #typhoon meteorologists now forecast that Mother Nature is lethally next set to devastate the entire U.S. East Coast anywhere from Savannah, #Georgia to #Richmond #Virgina and beyond! This is very close to the world's largest Naval Base. Meanwhile reality deniers like Trump merrily tore up the Paris #climate #agreement
@augustus Augustus if #climatechange is all "one big corporate hoax" as your #toot inherently implied, how do you/we/humanity account for the NASA verified and certified data that has been captured by scientifically-precise
earth-orbiting satellites and other tech advances. Augustus are you point blank denying the very heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide (C02) and other gases ? An inevitable, inescapable heat which we witnessed at the dawn of what you termed the "industrial revolution" (i.e. middle of the 19th century). Do you put forward a blind blanket dismissal on the increase of greenhouse gases causing the Earth to warm as attested by NASA/other bodies ? Let us be realistic and practical. Entire samples of Ice cores drawn from #Greenland #Antarctica and tropical mountain glaciers show that the #Earth ’s #climate responds to alterations in toxic greenhouse gas levels. Scientific testimony demonstrates this to us in ocean sediments, tree rings, coral reefs, and layers of sedimentary rocks. Globally eminent climatologists are reminding us, time and again, that if by 2030 we do not reduce the global climate by 2 degrees celsius we are in for a rude awakening. Why are entire cities reducing their carbon footprint ? Augustus logically all this can`t be reduced to a corporate mafia conspiracy here is why - remember the il and gas and automotive industry stand most to lose from these bitter realities. Paleoclimatologists testify that current #globalwarming is mathematically occurring 10 times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming. In light of all the above and so much more evidence (melting of the glaciers, warming of the oceans etc) are you dismissing all this data as "weather channel fake news" ? I know we live in a "post-truth" world but common Augustus...... ?
@shpufeff @noyoushutthefuckupdad @augustus @arteteco not that "classic" tbh it is this sort of reductive over-simplistic binary left-wing/right-wing mentality that has irreversibly polarised us in a "post-truth" world
Sorry if I didn't explain myself properly. I am from a very different context (in my country, Italy, there is not such a political debate around climate change), and I am a natural sciences student who is interested in the matter per se. I didn't mean to attack you, and I don't have a political, ideological or crypto-religious (what does that mean?) agenda.
I don't know how you can say that I have "a powerful ideological incentive" to "interrogate" you. I was trying to have an exchange of ideas.
Nevermind, peace.
@arteteco ciao how is Italy under Salvini and what is your take on him, I believe his populism is toxic for #Italy @shitposter.club @augustus Augustus I came to #qoto as I have had it with #twitter their #shadowban #censorship & purges (for today at least) are you folks on twitter if so what are your handles ? Augustus do tell me more about shitposter.club as in how many subscribers there are ? ( for e.g. I know qoto.org has 2 million listed subscribers (though it seems much less ) and Augustus & Arteteco which other emerging #socialmedia platforms do you recommend for reasonable intellectual ideas exchange ?
