It's a problem, yeah. But we have much bigger problems at the moment.

The earth works in a cycle [spoiler]ice age to the "regular age" we're in now[/spoiler] And we're just about to the end of that cycle or those pictures you see that have a picture of a desert and say this is earth in 2100 are true either way we better start seeking other planets

China is the real problem here, not cars in general. http://www.worldatlas.com/articles/biggest-contributors-to-global-warming-in-the-world.html

It IS a serious problem, and I take public-transportation or go by foot. Look, I'm not going to sugar-coat this, but with the available evidence, of which I will cite at the end of this paragraph, it is quite clear that this is the most dangerous threat humanity has ever experienced, and has the direct possibility of wiping us out in the coming centuries, due to multiple factors including sea-level rise, extreme temperatures, oceanic acidification, mass-extinctions of marine and land life and more. There's also speculation that there could be a refugee crisis by 2100 on the scale of which we've never seen, with North-Africa and the Middle East reaching temperatures too hot to sustain life. It's painfully unnerving that President Trump and his administration not only refuses to do anything about climate change, but fla-out denies its existence and seem to intentionally do whatever they can to make it worse. We've already passed 400ppm, possibly forever, so all we can do now is reduce the effects it'll have on us, but to do this, humanity needs to come together NOW, and fight for clean energy and nuclear energy to replace fossil fuels. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/climate-change-could-make-parts-of-the-middle-east-and-north-africa-uninhabitable-a7010811.html http://ocean.nationalgeographic.com/ocean/explore/pristine-seas/critical-issues-ocean-acidification/ http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/climate-change-will-accelerate-earths-sixth-mass-extinction-180955138/ http://climate.org/sea-level-rise-risk-and-resilience-in-coastal-cities/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/earth-s-co2-passes-the-400-ppm-threshold-maybe-permanently/

It IS a serious problem and I DO have a car. I also DO have alot of beef. I also support regulation to offer incentives on more eco friendly vehicles and to cut emissions of factories. Nothing wrong with pushing for cleaner air. (Could care less for libertarian views on this) There are things i dont want to do and things i know must be done. I remember in my agrocultural ethics class we did extensive study on food sustainability and productivity. I love meat but we could cut emissions by reducing beef trade and replacing with more efficient and cost effective chicken. The amount of land required just to FEED the livestock could easily produce much more food directly from the roots. If we want to feed everyone within the coming decades, we would have to convert to vegetarian diets (or be prepared to pay alot more for beef). Im sure more selfish users would never agree to taking a cut to beef to improve food pruduction. Methane wise, chicken replacing beef would allow a methane cut. Yes that is considering putting in alot more chicken to beef. Again i can have tons of fruit and still feel hungry with lack of beef.. but im also understanding it is inevitable that we take these cuts for future generations.

Apparently 40% of off-topic is retarded. So that's good to know.

Global warming isn't real

We can't just stop people from using cars (although they should only be used when neccesary) but we should be looking at better alternatives - which we're basically not.

Hmmmm majority of the side that thinks it's a serious problem drives thereby adding to the problem... lotta hypocrites on that side.

I'll be dead before it really affects me so idc

It's real. It's not as big a problem as it's made out to be. I drive an 06 GTO and get worse mileage than a corvette.
