- mehphp 1mo agoIt’s about retention not generation. The problem is greenhouse gases changing how much of the sun’s energy can escape. I think you’ve simply misunderstood the basic mechanism/claim here.
- Ancalagon 1mo agoWhat are these bot accounts shilling this for?
- CodeWriter23 1mo agoI'm a person YIC. And to answer your question, a gas composing 0.04% of our atmosphere does not trump the sun's energy in any way shape or form.
- Ancalagon 1mo agoThat's exactly what a bot would say.
- gs17 1mo agoGreenhouse gases cause warming powered by that sun-delivered energy!
- CodeWriter23 1mo agoSo you're saying energy + inert gas is an energy generator? Politely, GTFO.

- vivzkestrel 1mo ago- i wonder what would happen if the whole world went vegan from tomorrow - would it actually cut down emissions, methane? co2? - the price of veggies would obviously go 10x in the short term but would be the impact long term
- anon48293 1mo ago- people would have nutritional deficits - methane production would only drop by a max of 32% due to farming - rice alone already emits 12% of world methane, this would increase - only 15% of co2 comes from farming. - 45% of the co2 from farming is plants. This would increase. So it wouldn’t do anything.
- triceratops 1mo ago> people would have nutritional deficits Follow traditional cuisines that have worked out healthy vegetarianism. Don't buy fake meats. > methane production would only drop by a max of 32% Only? If I cut your salary by 32% would you say it isn't much of a drop? > rice alone already emits 12% of world methane, this would increase And would be more than offset by the methane emitted by cattle. > 45% of the co2 from farming is plants. This would increase. Why? Feeding people plants takes less plants than feeding animal plants and then feeding people animals.

- gs17 1mo ago> - 45% of the co2 from farming is plants. This would increase. And what percent of that is farming plants to feed animals?
- anon48293 1mo agoSince rice alone is more than 33% of farming methane, I’d wager not that high a percentage actually. The thing is, as you can see from the data, it’d reduce methane and co2, but not substantially. Bottom line is that there is too much heavy industry, too much oil, gas and coal, and too many people. The problem isn’t me eating meat. It’s 9 billion people eating anything.
- metalman 1mo agothe problem, that is not bieng discussed is that the high temp record is different than anything else historicaly as the average temp is attached to some realy wierd cold water upwelling just about everywhere https://www.ospo.noaa.gov/products/ocean/sst/contour/ https://www.ospo.noaa.gov/products/ocean/sst/contour/ and what I believe will end up bieng record low artic summer ice https://nsidc.org/sea-ice-today https://nsidc.org/sea-ice-today and what is heading towards record low antartic winter ice https://nsidc.org/sea-ice-today#nav-paragraph-308563 https://nsidc.org/sea-ice-today#nav-paragraph-308563 more graphs and charts https://climatereanalyzer.org/ https://climatereanalyzer.org/
- krunck 1mo agoI'm glad that France, Germany, and England are getting hit hard. It means that some of the most powerful countries in the world will actually take action. If it were only some countries in the Global South then there would be less incentive to fix what we've broken.
- croes 1mo ago> It means that some of the most powerful countries in the world will actually take action. They wont. When the IPCC said the worst case scenario is off the table, the reaction of the conservatives was, now it’s time to reduce all that climate change stuff and put some "common sense“ back in, so the companies have less environmental laws to follow
- overflowy 1mo agoThat's hilarious, since France, Germany, and UK combined barely make up 8.7% of China's total CO₂ emissions [1]. In other words, China emits about 11.4 times as much as France, Germany, and the UK put together. [1] https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-by-country/ https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-by...
- triceratops 1mo agoChina is also 10 times the size of those countries put together. So they're about equally responsible. China also makes most of the world's solar panels, EVs, and batteries.

- pipes 1mo agoYou are glad people are dying or losing their homes?
- tonyedgecombe 1mo agoThe UK has more than halved its carbon emissions since 1990 despite a growing population.
