> The poor in India should increase their emissions, because otherwise they'll die. Life expectancy has risen from 40 to 68 years since the 60s.
So, you are saying that CO2 emissions are actually good for the population and the way forward is to actually increase them even more. Interesting turn of events from an environmentalist.
> You want them to die because of the choices their parents made.
Funny thing to say, since you want the West to pay for the choices our grandfathers made and descend into deprivation, so that the rest of the world can go on polluting even more.
Here is the thing, people with your discourse aren't interested in saving the planet but into forcing your ideological agenda - which is got nothing to do with environmentalism but with your personal concepts of morality - upon the rest of us under the threat of environmental catastrophe. And the worst part of it? It does nothing to tackle climate change.
P.S.: > If you excuse me, I'm going to go take a shower. I honestly can't believe I'm having this conversation on HN.
Go easy on that shower, it's a big toll on the environment and, after all, you just spent the last 24h telling us all how those resources actually should belong to be used by people in India and not selfishly by me or by you.
- reitzensteinm 7y agoMy ideological agenda is valuing the life of an Indian equally to my own.
- familysized 7y agoDon't feed that troll, just downvote and move along.
- reitzensteinm 7y agoSeems we both fell in to that trap.
- wtdata 7y agoWell, my agenda is about reducing global CO2 emissions so that we can save the planet. But, there is nothing wrong with you having your agenda... just don't go around pretending you are pushing it due to environmental concerns.
