I'm a guy that recycles and is for movements like planting trees, cleaning the ocean and forests and protecting the wild life but I just can't buy in to all the hysteria around climate change.
The entire idea of using fear to manipulate people has the opposite effect on me.
Same.
People could do a lot for individual climate change by planting trees, improving your soil, reducing waterway run-off, using different species of grass for your lawns, and making a pollinator corridor.
Also, I can't buy into the hysteria because I'm more aware of the science behind it. The projections are still a 3 degree Celsius increase on the planetary average temperature by 2100.
There are problems that come with that, but "we all gonna fuckin' die in 12 years" ain't one of them.
I don't care about any predictions because they are all made up by magical models that no one is allowed to see, which is functionally no different from reading entrails. Climate change is progressive eschatology.
I do care about properly conserving the enviornment, which is why I despise the blights that are wind turbines and solar panels.
My favorite analogy was when some article described climate models as "video games". Climatologists use video games to guess what will happen. Not entirely accurate but close enough.
Why do you need different species of grass for your lawn? I also have a lot of clovers, I wanted just a few but clovers are like weeds and take over everything.
I think you should really want a mix of whatever grasses and wildflowers that are native to wherever you are. This is kind of challenging on the prairies, but there are programmes for preserving and reintroducing pre-Columbian grasses (my home town has one such area. I remember driving past it one time, when the prairie grass was so high you could literally hide elephants in there.)
I do have a mix of grasses that are suppose to be local but it was not for any environmental reason. I just figured native grass will grow easier and stronger for my soil that happens to not be all that great. I did the same with planting cherry trees because they seem to grow well here unlike peaches or apricots that seem to die off after 5 years. Prune trees grow well here as well but I've not planted any yet.
Outside of metals recycling is mostly worthless.
Planting trees does nothing if you aren't considering soil quality and density.
Cleaning the ocean from a western standpoint is pointless when the vast majority of trash and pollution comes from China, India, and Africa.
Protecting wildlife outside of basic, mostly hunting and fishing, standards is retarded and has done more damage than good.
Pretty much all of the modern social causes that are commonly pushed are scams.
Recycling is one of the shittiest things to do for the environment. We ship a lot of our plastic to places like Indonesia and SEA, where the majority of plastic is just dumped into their rivers, which is dumped into the Pacific. It's why there are two giant garbage patches in the ocean. Landfills are unironically better for the environment.
Forget where I heard that but I think the source from here.
This might have been it: https://www.city-journal.org/needless-panic-over-disposable-plastic
Ah close but not quite, I recall an image of plastic straws at the very top of the page, and one of the two big garbage patches in the Pacific, but it's not a big deal. I might be misremembering where I saw the link.
The people in favor of the tactic would argue that you wouldn't care about any of it without years of hysteric propaganda.
See, all of these are tangible objectives with issues and results observable to the naked eye. Politicians and charlatans can't have that. Issues for them need to be perpetual, vague, and only observable through them and their friends.
You can tell an environmentalist is fake when climate change is front and center in their stated goals
