A minor technology tweak isn't going to defuse that time bomb.

So switching from petrodiesel to biodiesel wouldn't have any effect?

And a big change can have a small impact on the individual level. Lead contamination of soil dropped by a massive amount, and the consumers didn't even notice that it was anything different in their gas tanks.

Are you going to build a billion cars and two billion mopeds out of recycled toilet paper?

All those batteries will be poisoning our environment for decades after you dispose of them.

BTW, fossil fuels have helped improve the standard of living for billions of people all over the earth.

If you think swallowing cyanide pills is science, I think you are missing a few brain cells.

But go ahead and call it what you want.

Unfortunately, none of these Big Problems are going to be solved until the Baby Boomers die off. The Boomer agenda is to live as long as possible at the expense of the younger generation(s). They don’t care about long term problems; they know they’ll be dead by then.

The only prostitutes are those that will sell their children's future for a few pieces of silver today. Give some your posts recently I will concede you may have more experience in the area of prostituting yourself than I do.
A regular gas burner car is more environmentally friendly to build than a hybrid.

You are wrecking the planet.

Fake news guys, we all know scientists worldwide were reprogrammed by liberalism in universities and are part of a billion-dollar conspiracy to make rich white men look bad so a few small energy companies can make money. Every other significant group of people on earth acknowledges that humans are ruining the climate on Earth but they're all wrong except for us.

-LITERALLY the Republican perspective on climate change

The point is taking incremental steps to confront the coming environmental tsunami. It doesn't mean going from cars to horses, it means taking steps to reduce fossil fuel dependence, weaning off plastics, halting over fishing and taking better care of our natural resources.

My parents sacrificed for me and I will sacrifice for my children if it means a better life for them.
I don't why that is such a radical proposition these days.

You completely missed my point. But that’s not surprising.

If you dispose of them properly, they won't. You're completely wrong.
