Sigh
"using reason and math" and yet you disagree with the scientific consensus that climate change is man made ("only half" is disagreeing) because of a feeling.
Also what's the threshold to "be a problem"? 1.5%? Why?
That would leave only 8 (maybe 10, depending on the source) countries that "matter", with a total of 67-69% of the world's emissions. So more than 30% of the world's emissions are not a problem?
Seriously...
The point is focus. It is futile to point the firehose at the weeds on fire in the flower bed when the entire house is going up in flames.
And right now to put out the fire the focus should be on the countries that can actually make a difference, primarily China, the US, India and EU next.
But those also happen to be our biggest trading partners. So in a capitalist country like Canada no one, including the government, wants to damage the bottom line, so instead of having a policy with some teeth like "we will cut our trade with those countries by half until they lower their emissions" what is the message you hear? You hear, "Buy an EV, save the planet" "Get solar panels, save the planet" as if that's going to actually a dent in emissions in Canada.
It will make an imperceptible dent but the resounding message is please continue to buy buy buy more products and DONT stop spending money on our trading partners. That doesnt make sense and its why I know that our gov's are not actually serious about climate change.
