Not sure if you caught the text of what they’re saying: people who can’t afford to eat rice starving to death aren’t removing much of humanity’s carbon footprint.
Look further down the thread, its a joke and i know that.
Where you suggest twice that nuclear war would be good or that your whole life is a joke?
I feel fucked up ways about stuff too. Nothing wrong with it and all that negativity’s gotta go somewhere. Just wanted to head the ecofascism train off at the pass.
I literally clarified that while it would help against climate change its not something that is a good option at all and that im against it...
Its a Example of some fucked up view that would at least make sense on a technical level, unlike making food prices higher and killing those that already don't pollute like at all...
It doesn’t make sense even on a technical level. Cities are all near water and their fallout plumes would irradiate huge swaths of the earth to the east in addition to everything downstream.
The infrastructure of civilization is all clustered around cities as well, so we’d lose access to the best spots to live.
I got nothing but sympathy for you, thirty years ago that bit would have killed. Today everyone assumes you’re serious.
No humans = No worries about climate change...
So it does work. The point is that its absolutely not a Reasonable option at all.
Also nukes aren't dirty bombs, they don't do that much radiation, most of the nuclear material gets turned into pure fusion energy. So they are kinda environmentally friendly in a way...
Good troll. You got me.
