Science....CO2 causes global warming and it's dangerous...the entire world has to not only stop emitting CO2 but lower their CO2 emissions
Reparations.....the vast majority of countries can increase their CO2 emissions until they make enough money...and global warming is not dangerous
Pick one....you can't have both...they are a contradiction
The US was the primary generator of fossil fuels for over 100 years and has the highest per capita income and the plan is to suddenly slam the door and tell a developing country like Bangladesh they have to lock down emissions tomorrow. That doesn't sound rational.

No it doesn't, I agree......actually none of it does
Say there's two companies...and both put arsenic...a deadly poison..in the ground
One company is profitable...and has to stop immediately
...the other company is not profitable and they get to continue polluting with arsenic until they make as much money as the first company...
Is arsenic really poisonous then?? or not?
But that's the way the UN/IPCC has it set up...
The USA has to close coal power plants...because of CO2
China, India, Japan, etc are building hundreds of new coal plants all over the world...
...what was the point in closing our coal plants then?...so everyone else could build new ones?
Saying CO2 pollution is tied into per capita income....and poor countries get to increase emissions until they catch up....is a total contradiction to the science the UN/IPCC puts out..and the danger the UN/IPCC says it is
And if you cut animal agriculture, where will the food come from? Let the poor starve to death?
Meat is luxury item that is heavily subsidized in the USA it should be a once a week thing not a every meal thing. That alone would do wonders for environmental destruction.

I don't know about "once a week" but, certainly, cutting meat consumption would have major environmental benefits. Perhaps you missed this earlier post:

I mean if you don't care about deforestation and the changing climate by all means have at it. Dosen't change the fact animal agriculture is one of the primary culprits for climate change.
