it doesn't affect me much.

Great. Good to know Chinese pollution doesn't blow far enough to affect you.

I can testify to that brother! Speaking as a member of the “Take 7 days off” club.

I'm President, Chairman of the Board, and founding member of that club... while others do the exact same with no repercussions. That's the lay of the land around here.

You forgot about the wall! LOL

melting polar ice caps and loss of permafrost regions is not science?

Not if it was reported on CNN...

I agree. That's why I can't understand people who keep bringing up statements from 50 years ago, which are obviously outdated. Science does evolve.
We also are starting to see it more and more from people who don't believe in vaccinating, whether it's for the recent Covid, or to prevent things like polio, the measles and chicken pox. Yet that fear goes all of the way back to the 1800s and the first small pox vaccination.

I will trust scientists and doctors over random internet posts.

Yeah all those trendy anti vax movie stars sure have been quiet lately

The average dolt probably thinks pollution stays within borders. Lol
Thats why I’d rather produce here. At least we could be responsible enough to clean it up instead of giving the pproduction to the Chinese, who don’t care, and will just let the viru….I mean pollution…. lose on the rest of the world.
Just turning your back on a problem isn’t solving a problem

100%.

China doesn’t see pollution as its problem.

Keeping the masses employed is their problem. Unemployed masses tend not to follow Communist dictators. Angry masses are a physical problem for unelected government officials.

The #1 statistic the China government wants from its business managers is employment. #2 is taxes paid. #3 is profit.

MoKelly, it is Earth First. We'll strip mine the other planets later.

Science says the earth is 4.5 billion years old. We have temperature readings going back 150 years. That is the same as reading the last letter in the last sentence on the last page of a 10,000 page novel and saying you know what the book is about. Talk about arrogance.

First it was an impending ice age. Now it we have the hottest July on record. We stopped using paper bags because we were killing all the trees which was causing global warming. Replaced them with plastic, and now we have outlawed plastic bags because they are killing the planet. Gas cars are bad, oil energy is bad. EV cars are good as is solar energy, except for the energy required to make solar panels, and how will we dispose of all the batteries when they are dead in 10 years?

As said before, the climate change "catastrophe" is about power, control and money. It is not about weather or our planet.

This is something which you and I agree on, 100%.

Also, we would retain middle class jobs and control supply chains. We could be so much better.
