You are just validating my point with that "per capita" narrative. The point is simple: you want to pretend your are saving the planet by allowing China and India to increase their emissions, more than USA and EU will ever be able

My arguments are the facts. Climate action, measuring exactly this, has China as doing "OK" and India as doing "great" when their comulative projected ”increase" by 2030 will be similar than all present emissions by

I know I will be downvoted for stating a fact but I agree with you. The gist of the so called environmentalists is (factually, these really are their proposals when you look at their numbers): ok USA and EU, you have to urgently stop your e

I am also old enough to remember how the Ozone Layer would doom us all and that even if we stopped all CFC emission immediately, it would still take 4 centuries to recover. Reality: Even with China still misbehaving about CFCs emissions, th

And add the problem with plastics with the fact that this marketing stunt with pyramidal tea bags, occupies about 3x more volume and as such take 3x more resources to store and transport than traditional tea bags.

There is no going back about cleaning plastics by traditional methods now unfortunately. The only real solution I see is if we bio-engineer some bacteria/microorganism capable of decomposing it and release it in the environment. It mig

Well, it's very good for still images, problem is, it doesn't work well on videos, since the way it works is not temporally consistent.

I don't like Trump, he is mostly wrong, but pretending absolutely everything he says is wrong, is a dangerous proposition. I still think these wind farms are vastly positive, but we should recognize the problem with bird populations, a

Well, 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.

> 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

When is enough just enough? Do the costumers really care about reducing a further 1mm from the thickness of a laptop sacrificing: keyboard usability, battery life and number of ports?

What do you mean? It's not your racism that has you stating that someone in a country with a very good track record when it comes to CO2 emissions (and a number of other environmental aspects) should stop having children, so that someo

I also had a hunch that you interest isn't really about saving the planet but in supporting the implementation of your ideological agenda.

All this does is to move business out of EU. We are now worst that when we started: Still no right to privacy and now, loosing our companies.

What Earth does care about, is when you decide that's a good idea to have on average more than 4 children per couple over the last 2 generations in India [1] instead of only 2 or even less children per couple like in USA or the EU [2].

Let's please stop with the vegan fallacy. Cutting all meat production (and it's support industries) in USA and EU together, would have an impact of the global emissions of only 1%. [1] [2] The more we try to mix personal ideolog
