Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

Why is this in the entertainment section?

"Hey, wanna see what's playing at the movies, and maybe we'll find a human torso on the way there?"

 

Move over Beijing...



New Delhi's toxic, polluted air chokes city's 20 million people, and the haze can be seen from space !





"I have a headache every day I wake up. It's suffocating to breathe sometimes. And inflammation in the nostrils and all. And eyes also. Like it kind of burns," Ankusha Kushi, a student, told the Agence France-Presse news agency.

A public health emergency has remained in place in the city for the past five days as the air pollution is at its highest level in more than three years.

Every winter, the city is blanketed by a poisonous smog of car fumes, industrial emissions and smoke from stubble burning at farms in neighboring states.

Experts said breathing the air in New Delhi is equal to smoking 50 cigarettes a day.

Dr. Salil Sharma, a throat specialist, said 95% of the patients he has treated over the past 10 days are sick because of the foul air.

“I have patients from all age groups, and most of them are nonsmokers who complain of breathlessness, chest congestion, fatigue and weakness,” Sharma said. “In some cases, I had to put some patients on a ventilator because they couldn’t breathe.

 

But we American’s need to cut down on the greenhouse gases we create and that will save the planet. Yeah. Right.

 

Exactly what I was going to say. Beat me to it.
Hey Greta, why don’t you sail your fucking boat there and lecture them, leave us the hell alone you little shit.

 

She's waiting for someone to give her a boat, or give her a free ride on a boat.

Sadly, she's just another puppet...

 

Yes, we do!
Adjusted net national income > Constant 2000 US$
India: $1.15 trillion Ranked 3rd.
US: $11.13 trillion Ranked 2nd. (10 times more than India)

CO2 Emissions per 1000
India: 0.922 Ranked 112th.
US: 86 Ranked 4th. (22 times more than India)

Climate change > CO2 emissions from electricity and heat production, total > Million metric tons
India: 963.48 Ranked 5th.
US: 2,478.03 Ranked 2nd. (3 times more than India)

Climate change > CO2 emissions from electricity and heat production, total > Million metric tons per million
India: 0.789 Ranked 82nd.
US: 7.95 Ranked 10th. (10 times more than India)

 

With all due respect, and I understand the sentiment. But we have exactly one planet. Someone needs to do something, and it's not going to be India. If not America as a Global leader and powerhouse, who?

 

If you believe that bullshit, I’ve got some other bullshit to sell you!

 

That isn't greenhouse gasses, that's the nasty toxic stuff the US started regulating heavily in the 1960's, and we've only ratcheted down on those regs since then. I cant imagine going back to those days.

 

I did the leg work for you.

Unless you don't want the FACTS to cloud your judgement.

 

Well that’s just shitty

 

First of all, wikipedia is not a valid source, as the data is easily manipulated. Your HS teacher should have mentioned that...

With that said, I can provide numerous articles countering your point of view on this, with facts. At the end of it, they're both political opinions from either side and don't need to be discussed here.

 

The great thing about statistics is you can interpret the numbers from any point of view.

 

Very true.

I can't wait to see all of these so-called solar Tacomas driving around, because #hypocrisy

 

People can debate "facts" all they want but if you grew up or were around large population centers in the 60's/70's you know. Horrible orange air that burns when you breathe. Now, not so much. That didn't happen on its own. Fuck going back to that because anti-government, anti-science, anti-regulation flag waver/chest beaters bristle because we are doing something but some other country isn't.

 

One thing to keep in mind is that the facts and predictions with regard to global warming existed long before it became political. Heck, even Exxon and Shell have studies from the 1980's predicting global warming caused by hydrocarbon use, in which they decided that it would be up to governments to figure out how to deal with it.

 

This was political long before the 80's.

What's amazing, is those who push this agenda the most (politicians, celebrities, tech giants) never seem to live their lives the way they tell us to.

 

I won't argue with you on that one.

 

Save the planet! I agree!
Stop the 'politics' on this thread! I agree!
Do the right thing for the environment, but arguing about it on the internet will not help one thing.
