Multiple huge homes sucking up tons of power, private jetting all over the place. These dudes are frauds.
Al Gore left the White House worth less than $2m. He has amassed a $300m fortune since.

Re: The Incheon Report
I would like to think he does stuff personally like many others. But I can’t say for sure. Foo and Jason and all skeptics will grasp any minor hypocrisy or ambiguity to try and ignore the scientific research that paint a clear picture of an actual disaster in the making. The standard cant be to have only saints lead the fight or concede the fight and die.zombie wrote:if everyone takes the approach of sticking to their lifestyle because it changes nothing in isolation, then that does have an effect and an impact. if a public figure speaks out, but then is shown to continue doing things that are supposed to be contributing to the problem, what are we to take from that?showa58taro wrote: It changes nothing in isolation though it would set a good example. But I don’t know what he does or doesn’t do.
If the report is to be believed then everyone has to do things more or less. So it does matter. But it struck me as your question being one relating to Al Gore and hypocrisy which doesn’t matter.
hypocrisy does matter. saying one thing and then doing another does matter. if foo and jason saw al gore (and other public figures) making changes, do you think that could lead them to see this as potentially more of a concern than they do now?
Re: The Incheon Report
How about air conditioning? We could set a universal standard of 84 degrees. 78 with proof of respiratory or other condition that requires cooler air. In the winter, 60 degree heat cap.
That would be HUGE in terms of impact to the environment.

Of course it will as you are using less energy.showa58taro wrote:If it will have an impact then 100% on boardFoo wrote:How about air conditioning?

Go ahead and start. I already do this to acclimate for the food truck.

Also, for a small fee, I will protect your community from BugBears. They are coming, I assure you, but I know how to keep them away. Will just be a small percent of your income. Can you afford to not believe me? They will kill your children.

The UK has mandated smart meters to encourage energy awareness. Appears to work a bit at least

Re: The Incheon Report
I am talking real steps, not bullshit. Real change through real sacrifice. Want to change the world, stop eating meat, drinking coke, and traveling, and climate controlling living space.showa58taro wrote:The UK has mandated smart meters to encourage energy awareness. Appears to work a bit at least
How much energy does the post office waste delivering mail? How much energy does Amazon waste delivering billions of packages? Computer games with massive servers sucking more power than hundreds of homes. Fortnite alone has over 50 million players, those server banks have to use up enough energy to power a small neighborhood.
Google alone uses the energy equivalent to over 200,000 homes.

Re: The Incheon Report
Or how about telling idiots who can't afford to take care of their kids anyway to stop breeding? Look up all the countries with the highest birth rates, and you will notice they are not only among the poorest, but also among the nations that would be most impacted by climate change. Should shitholes in Africa have the highest birth rates? They can't support themselves now.
Re: The Incheon Report
no, that can't be the standard. the standard should be just moving toward more conservation as a nation. flying less. driving less. making it more practical to cut back on both, in the day to day would go a long way, but that doesn't look to be the case.showa58taro wrote:
