All countries need to work on this. China has issues with pollution because we consumers are buying stuff from China. Meanwhile China has built a large solar farm as well as converting their fleet of buses and cars to fully electric vehicles. But as long as there is a high consumer demand that exceeds their energy production they still rely on coal. 

 

Are electric vehicles perfect? No, but they don't cause cancer, asthma etc when they're on the roads. 

 

It's about clean air. It's about trying to stop an temperature increase past 1.5C etc. 

China has issues with pollution becuse America buys stuff.

Trump is evil for trying to stop it.

 

I love liberal logic

She doesn’t fly?  I heard she is going to Chile,   How is she getting there?

So what is the difference between her and Mr. Lomborg?

She is sailing again. 

 

I'm actually surprised you are even mentioning Lomborg as some kind of opposite of Greta since Lomborg agree that we need to deal with climate change.

China has issues because the entire world buys from them. Love how you guys can manage to throw Trump into any discussion here.

I have never said I did not believe in climate change as the Earth’s climate is in a continued state of flux.  Lomborg proposed logical and real potentials, not just feel good rhetoric.  As to Ms. Thunberg sailing to Chile, the solar hatch has already returned to Europe, so I expect she will be taking a conventionally powered boat down there.

Why would they? We are all living on the same planet. Everyone needs to help reduce CO2 and prevent an increase of 1.5C or higher.

Sorry, my bad. She is actually taking the train according to the Daily Mail. 

 

Lomborg keeps contradicting himself so I don't really know what he wants. Except subsidizing solar panels.

Why don't you google it? She has explained it previously so I doubt it would be hard for you to find that info.

My point is why not just use video conferencing and reduce her carbon footprint?

We could ask the same questions to companies who are flying all over the world to meetings instead of using video conferencing.

I think many are using conferencing. I know I am.  Now if we believe the Democrats here, air travel will become banned, so it won’t be a problem.

Air travel is a huge problem but the democrats have not said they're banning it.
