>or don't do anything like every asshole human
Some people did the math and you'd have to use one of those re-usable cotton bags every day for more than like 60 years for it to provide a benefit on the environment.
we already fucked everything up anyway, nothing we start doing now will change that.
The planet will be fully destroyed in 200 years
cry more faggot
The problem with liberalism generally is that they ascribe structural problems to individual actors.
For example, the 2008 crash and subsequent depression is blamed on "bad bankers". When crises are simply inherent to capitalism. They blame sweatshop labour on "immoral capitalists" when profits can only exist from paying workers less than they produce. They blame climate change on consumers when it is infeasible for us to work, commute, eat, etc without polluting.
Liberals do not address these structural problems because if they said "the problem is capitalism" they wouldn't be liberals anymore.
Nah.. another carbon tax (on consumers of course not polluters) will do it. Get your yellow jackets ready lads...
But surely that's a favourable alternative to constantly creating and discarding millions of plastic ones daily
So wots yr point here
>we
are you chinese or indian?
daily reminder that climate change is a doomsday cult
This, we went beyond the point of no return a while ago. Might as well just sit back and wait for the inevitable now
>or don't do anything like every asshole human
What exactly have you done that benefits the environment?
Nothing can stop Bagger 288
We've created something far too powerful
every industrialized country is to blame

>mongoloid explains the world
Except these 2 are the worst offenders by a far stretch
The plastic ones are pretty efficient because they're made of nothing and most people (atleast in aus) reuse them as bin liners. Denmark did a holistic study on it and ended up keeping them as they were the best option iirc
The point was that the production of those cotton bags has such a high impact on the environment that it would have to be used to an absurdly high degree (to the extent that it likely would not even remain intact long enough), for it to provide any benefit whatsoever to simply using a plastic bag.

Also they import dirty littering foreigners that undermine the country’s ability to be clean and do great projects
not the guy you're responding to, but I know plenty of economists who are liberal that don't fit his description at all. his premise is based on caricature rather than reality.
Every other country is only down in pollution metrics because they import from those 2, if other countries had to produce the stuff they import from China or India they'd be just as bad relatively
my local recycling plant just admitted what everyone already knew that nothing gets recycled (besides metal) because it's too expensive. everything goes in the landfill and always has
Literally look up the cause of the housing crisis to find a litany of credible arguments disproving that stupidity.

My strong suspicion is we get the world we deserve
I for one welcome human extinction
Reminder that it's 100 companies owned by less than 1% of the world's population that causes 90% of the pollution and that the increasing rate of algae blooms, mass droughts and sapping of soil minerals and nutriets are going to result in a lot more immediate and sudden ecological crisis under their policies because the boomer owners know that they'll be dead of old age before it hits
??? Do you think im a conservative? The user is referring to classical liberalism, not the burger definition of what liberal
>now
One of the core assumptions of liberalism is the rationality and agency of the individual.
So kids who are born with aids in third world countries deserved it?
those issues are only inherent to capitalism in so much as individuals are bound to make the decisions which trigger those issues.
>For example, the 2008 crash and subsequent depression is blamed on "bad bankers". When crises are simply inherent to capitalism.
But is was bad bankers. The abolishment of glass-steagall, and the securitization of bad housing loans is what led to the crash. Both of these were the result of "bad bankers"
luckily, academics and professionals are capable of nuance and there's a decades old branch of liberal economists who accept behavioral finance/economics.
have you even take intermediate macro yet?
Yes, but what hes saying is, in such system "banks gonna bank" sooner or later. So more more "bad bankers" will keep popping up
Reminder that more than half of the money in the world simply does not exist
It is money based on speculation that has nothing to do with liquid assets, production, employee count or anything "real" and is instead based on the perception that someone has money that is actually credit based on the creditor having the money to back that line of credit dozens of times and that the threat of the Yellow Vests pulling their money from the banks was the first real tangible threat to this literal religious system that is continuing the consolidation of wealth, the destruction of the environment and violent corporate imperialism all over the world
Makes more sense, appreciate it.
/r/equesting anons drawing of this pic from memory, it always put a smile on my face
liberal economics blames exogeneities for crises, and implies that the problems of the world are simply one of incentive. For instance, the GFC was an intersection of many different types of individual (mortgage brokers, investors, investment bankers, etc) who, by their individual actions caused the GFC.
The implication is that crises are caused by bad actors, moral hazard, bad incentive structures, rather than crises simply being the inevitable consequence of the contradictions within capitalism itself.
Climate change is a great example. If firms simply "internalise their costs" though carbon taxes, they will have the incentive to reduce negative externality of pollution, so we are told.
The problem with all of the above is that the emergent crises of capitalism, are consequences of the very profit-maximising premise of capitalism itself. So that simply appealing to that premise can never offer any real solutions to the crises. We can only every manage the problems. Liberal economics is never about eliminating boom/bust cycles, but trying to reduce their amplitude though monetary policy... Again, no structural change, simply a management of the problem.
The only way to actually resolve these crises is by appealing to something outside of capitalism itself. Capitalism and its ideology (liberalism) is unequipped to resolve the problems it creates.

Human impact on climate change is a spook. You don't affect anything. If you really really feel guilty about using resources and producing waste, you could kill yourself. That makes you very eco-friendly. That reduces your impact.

Did you copypasta Zizek?
>chong chong ding dong china do no wrong
Maybe you should take your own advice and kill yourself.
Is it true I should invest in water?
The contradiction of climate change is that capitalist firms seek profit though destroying the very planet they need to generate profit.
Similar to how the capitalist maximises profit by lowering wages, and yet by doing so they lower the economy's purchasing power, lowering their sales and so profits.
Capitalism requires constant change to survive, and so it destorys all social relations it comes into contact with; it destroys patriarchal relations, religious, and political ones; and yet for it to even exist it must preserve the relation between the capitalist and worker. Capitalism is both hyperprogressive and hyperreactionary.

Not him but Japan has a huge problem right now in terms of what to do with their plastic recyclables. They used to just ship them to china but even china at this point cant find any use for bottles and whatnot, so into the landfill they go.

Should I be a vegan too?
They aren't "made of nothing" though. They're generally made from non-renewable, harmful resources and an unfathomable amount of them are produced continuously, every day. They're going to end up burned or in landfill, so filling them with trash beforehand is hardly an impressive ecological offering. So long as the status quo is upheld, the impetus to improve is deferred. Biodegradable, non-synthetic plastic alternatives already exist and are in use moderately, but they're progress is buried beneath the systems already in place, enabled by the sloth of the everyman; by removing the abundance of plastic carrier bags, we create room for those just as competent, yet renewable, alternatives.
Just for the record, I think it's quite blatantly not nearly enough to just get a tote bag and stop using disposable straws. The back-patting of people who helm these myopic crusades are seriously damaging to any attempt to get out from the under the environment arrears we find ourselves in, often doing more damage than good by placating people.
Biodegradability, recyclability and being a switch from non-renewable to renewable resources are three easy to see benefits, all while doing the same job; generally, any movement toward removal of superfluous plastics is surely positive.
LOL nice estimates. Scientists long since predicted we have 30-60 years left actually. If you're young enough, you'll get to see it with front row seats!
>imagine unironically believing the environment would be better off in a soviet-style communist society
I'll extend you an olive branch and say that you're right in a sense that there wouldn't be billions of people to starve since most of them would've already died by purges or by forced labour.
You're an idiot if you thinks he's talking about just trash and not pollution.

It's literally a narrative of the upper class media shills shifting the blame from the corporate oligarchs and capitalism to the populace
Even if half the world went vegetarian right now it wouldn't affect over 2/3rds of the pollution generated by 100 companies
wouldn't the carbon tax affect the polluting companies mostly? these companies can either pay the fines, which should then go to funding sustainable alternatives, or dodge the costs by improving their processes.
while i agree that big companies are at fault, these companies exist because we the consumers allow them to live by buying their products. if we reduce our consumption, there'll be a decrease in output from companies. for long, we've had a linear economy focused on growth, but that practice is not sustainable, and we'll notice soon that trying to grow continually, we'll collapse.
everyone becomes a victim from climate change so everyone should take some form of responsibility in it.
i think that some people hyperbolate the effects of climate change (e.g. we'll die in 12 years), but to ignore CM as a whole is really dumb. the proponents of CM are pushing things that are common sense like using cleaner forms of energy, switching to a linear economy and reducing our waste and consumption.
A silly assumption that's disproved daily.

In reality I think that the harvesting of nations' natural resources should be left up to national programs instead of extranational corporations that don't give a shit about the damage they cause to a country they have no loyalty to or aren't even based in
Look at BP and the Deepwater Horizon bullshit or the myriad other oil fuckups
It's always management going "to hell with the regulations time is money" and then causing hundreds of billions of dollars of long-term environmental damage and then shrugging off resulting fines and none of them go to jail
White collar crime causes infinitely more damage than blue collar crime but penalizing it is impossible with the current system

again, even if half the world dissappears or goes vegan or all the other shit, the corporations doing the deforestation, water harvesting, fracking, mining, drilling and all other shit would keep on going because they have no reason to stop, which would still generate that 2/3rds of the world's pollution

>a headcase on a Cambodian basket weaving forum is a "science man"

Not him, and I agree with you, but you are equating the growing problem of epic city scale landfills with plastic bags. People reusing plastic as bin liners is a type of efficiency, them winding up in a landfill is part of a greater problem that needs solving.
I know venezuelan people, im not from US. They are desperate, and many of their university titles are trash.
If you like that a military sphere controls you everything you do, controls when you live, and if you dont like it, they will put you in jail, its ok, but dont say it like that is heaven.
They are false socialist, they want to control you, like the corporations, but also, controlling the goverment, laws directly. Its a distopian society where one corporation controls everything you own and is good. They use the "america is evil" narrative to make their authoritarism a good thing.
The opposition are fascist and the goverment too. There arent good guys any of them.
I too want free education, but i dont want to lick someones boot and be a good boy to the State. And by State i mean corrupted motherfuckers, the good ones left by force. By the corrupted leeches seeking money.
Yes, for now. But if current predictions are right, Africa will experience an exponential raise in population that the world simply isn't capable of dealing with assuming we don't have any major technological discoveries to enhance productivity in the continent in the following decades.

In the next 25 years fiat currency will collapse, the environment will go apeshit (B-BUT MUH LIBERALS, IT'S PROPAGANDA, EVERYTHING IS FINE!), full automation will fuck over 95% of workers, debt based economy will crash, and designer babies will replace organic humans.

>I know venezuelan people,
The only people who are really complaining are from two strata of Venezuelan society
People who grew up rich or came from rich families before chavez
Or people who are literally paid by the opposition party to riot every few months in a couple days' flareups (where they murder people with molotov cocktails) and then disappear for months on end
Every part of the crisis in venezuela can be traced to foreign money, economic sanctions, the literal withholding of food and specialty goods from venezuelan stores by the corporations, almost none of it has anything to do with Maduro's government
The people who complain the hardest are the ones who have the most to benefit from returning to the hyper-capitalism that existed pre-Chavez, where 95% of the wealth generated in that country was split between foreign governments and an upperclass
The peasant and working class population of Venezuela benefitted so tremendously under Chavez and Maduro that 20-30% of the population are declared "die-hard" supporters, with another fifty percent of the country in favor of the government's policies
You need to look at some pre and post-Chavez statistics and see just how radical the transformation was with even just a few "socialist" policies
It was literally like FDR during and after the great depression

If you weren't an unskilled burger flipper you'd know the insane amounts of cash western countries spend to make industries green. A power plant down in the states just spent 300 million dollars on a limestone scrubber to clean waste of H2S and other sulfates and sulfides. You think chinks or street shitters are spending a fraction of that on something as mundane as a garbage can? Non-whites are the reason why the world is such a polluted shit hole. Of the few white garbage scandals, if you dig deep enough you actually find kike hands behind shit like dumping toxic waste in the ocean.
THIS. The fucking corporations pull the same shit all the time where they put the blame on the average citizen and try and get us to bicker with each other while they just get richer. The fucking propaganda for people to help the environment was absurd, and people fell for it. Folks will act like you are literally Hitler if you admit to leaving a light bulb on that you're not using, meanwhile, corporations and commercial industries are leaving thousands of light bulbs on every hour and treating our oceans like a giant toilet. But I'd better recycle and not use straws, or I'm an asshole!

The effects of this famine will spread into the ME and Africa since they depend so heavily on imported food.
The resulting refugee crisis will be GG for Europe and Australia. You guys literally do not have enough bullets to kill everyone who will want to come in, and your leaders won't be willing to do so in the first place.
This will be the death of a substantial fraction of everyone living in Eurasia, and also Africa.
Hopefully this will be a wake up call for the Americas to get their act together and mitigate the aggressiveness of agribusiness practices. NA and SA will be insulated from the fallout because of their oceanic borders. If they fail to learn from this then the whole song and dance will repeat 10 years later.
This will be the end of human civilization as we know it.
>You need to look at some pre and post-Chavez statistics and see just how radical the transformation was with even just a few "socialist" policies
That's historically what has happened with every socialist country before they degrade into a state of absolute chaos causing them to go back to square 1 or even below that.
Meanwhile undeveloped countries that adhere to capitalism not only see improvements in life quality that far surpass those of their socialist counterparts but also tend to only improve.

Oh yeah, a certain strata of society benefits, but the majority populace sees the further consolidation of wealth, defunding of social programs, pollution, stagnating wages and all the other shit that leads to another crisis point forcing radical reform/revolution
They have roads now, but they fall apart and need repair every few months and the corporation doing it cuts costs
They have schools now with thirty year old textbooks and a budget that gets cut by their oligarchy to subsidize the corporations there to "entice" them to create more jobs that still pay the same shit wage and no benefits

more like we need to take responsibility for our retarded invasions that ultimately resulted in broken down states aswell as supporting certain sides in conflicts with arms and supplies. aswell as we need to take responsibility for arbitrarily drawing up borders in two continents
those practices can be changed. what can't be changed is 800 million indians shitting into the ocean, and 1.5 billion chinese with mouths to feed. the removal of their presence would have only a positive effect on the planet
i know poor venezuelan people. the richs went to america, im not from US. The goverment now are not socialist, they implement a few socialist ideas, to have a hold on the working class population, when they leech the country. They dont want to socialism to thrive ,they use it to get rich. And maintaining that status quo of corruption by force. The ones that wanted a change, now are gone. Segregated by the groups of corrupt and rich people.
You tell me, what is the difference, if a bank owns your house, or the goverment owns your house?
If you like oppresion, militaries on goverment and pseudo-socialism to controll people, just say you like fascism.

Say that to SE asian countries. This sort of thing only happens in latin america which has a tendency to reelect left-leaning politicians after the initial capitalistic jump.
Reminder that Globalism and Environmentalism are the antithesis of one another.
Unfortunately global warming/climate change has become a partisan issue meaning any articles or news on this topic are very suspect.
The truth is that the Sun regularly goes through cycles of activity. This influences the overall climate of Earth among other things. We are still currently exiting the last ice age. It's completely normal for the caps to melt and the climate to warm.
The question is whether human activity has had any meaningful impact in multiplying the rate of the natural cycle on Earth, which I would argue it probably has by a small amount. But the Earth was going to get warmer anyway, we can't change the output of the Sun itself. It's human hubris to think we're going to turn the Earth into Venus overnight. Political scaremongering.
However that's not to say we shouldn't be reusing and recycling, and looking towards renewable energy. Nuclear power paired with hydropower is the answer that's often overlooked (solar and windfarms are largely a meme).
>What do you think will happen when 2 billion asians lose access to water? Where do you think they will go?
does that mean i will get an asian gf?
wtf i love climate change now
He's quoting the UN for example.

Except Chinese eat a fucking SHIT LOAD of meat
No American eats meat 3 times a day, dipshit
>1.5 billion chinese mouths eating rice is less environmentally ravaging than 300million americans eating meat three times a day
1.5B Chinese mouths eating rice that was delivered in plastic packaging and then tossing it into the Texas-sized ocean garbage patch is shit
and you think those chinese won't start eating more meat as they make more money? you think they won't start driving more cars? buying more plastic garbage?
dog has a far smaller environmental impact than cow
Kek
No, only those two. Poo niggers can't even keep their sacred rivers clean, they don't give a shit about anything.
>one of the most realistic environmental threats is overpopulation
>let's keep giving shithole countries free aid so that they can keep pumping out babies at an exponential rate without producing anything, this will certainly fix the problem with diminishing resources
I fall into this category. I’m super into the idea of self reliance and disconnecting from the industrial world, but I’m also a cook that fully takes advantage of modern bullshit cooking appliances and conveniences.
>pay taxes in venezuela or just happen to be born there
>get free government housing with utilities
>get healthcare and education
>get food delivered to your doorstep if you can't afford it
>get welfare that actually is liveable
>pay monthly payments on a house owned by a bank
>they can modulate the price at any point and kick you out for any post-contract revision they want on top of you having to pay for the utilities yourself
>welfare/unemployement in the US is so shit you have to resort to full-time work to subsidize it, which on its own isn't enough to live on and the corporation has the option of terminating you at any point for any reason with no repercussions
Again, you need to check the statistics and actually talk to people in venezuela, not the specific quasifascist stratum that regularly visits Yea Forums to talk about how the congo man fucked up their neighborhood

Because you people need a trigger warning: It is a video SHITTING on John Oliver and pointing out how much of a liberal shill he is
Liberals support fascism as long as they get some kickback in the form of a check
I don't care about future generations of people, just future generations of animals and plants.
>They dont want to socialism to thrive ,they use it to get rich
That's what socialism is. Don't be fooled by the claim that socialism is for the wealth of all.
imagine living in china

But the whole run-up was energy related, not banking / housing.
>tfw you're in that sweet spot where you'll be dead before the great famine
>Liberals support fascism
When will people read books about what fascism actually is and stop using it as a catch all buzzword for big bad gubmints?
You can probably have motorsport in a world where people don't use a fucking SUV to drive to the convenience store and mcdonalds drive through
Wasn't there studies that showed the world was actually hotter in the past 5 or 6 centuries, with places like northernmost Canada and Greenland actually being habitable? Like you said, it's very hard to take studies on the environment at face value.
based and redpilled
Reminder it isn't pollution it's the clathrate gun that's going to kill us all
>but on the other hand i love motorsport
The dumbest and most boring sport ever invented by mankind
>links a video from empire files with abby martin who gets paid by the Venezuelan Government
i didnt say a carbon tax is sufficient. it's simply one of the tools being used. but yes, governments should be harsher with their environmental standards.
in any case, i agree with most of your post. i think we need a societal shift. move away from fossil fuels into cleaner and renewable forms of energy. this takes time and there are still design constraints for a lot of these clean energies so something like the Green New Deal is not realistic in any way.
the only thing i sort of disagree with is having energy managed by the government. the pitfall with this is if the government, like the current American one, doesn't care about the environment and pushes for coal and oil. in an ideal world, the government is there to benefit its people
this is what i hope for, also many scientist say its too late already. the human cancer will soon be gone, im so happy
I like how lefties arguments are always vague or straight out name calling.
i wonder why
the whole lead-up was loan/credit-related user
housing loans were a major part of it, but just like the great depression, it was credit loans based on credit based on the perception of money backing it
Loans based on loans based on loans ad infinitum
Every time the market gets deregulated that begins to happen and has resulted in several slumps and crisis in the last 100 years
The collaboration of the financial sector and government continues this cycle, fucking billions of people and walking away as multibillionaires
Liberals supported Hitler until they realized that if Britain and France lost the war we'd lose their debts to us
Liberals put Pinochet and the other SA puppet governments in place
Liberals are the PR branch of the ultrarich user
There is a reason that every liberal talking head on the television is a millionaire
They have no actual morals or ethical standard and only spout idpol platitudes to make the masses THINK they have an interest in the individual
>asia exists
>the west thinks anything they do will help the world without turning everything from Syria to eastern China into a glass crater first
Silly.
