@canadian_lefty Not being sarcastic here, honestly. But did I miss something? I’d genuinely like to know if I did.
The liberals platform to me, was nothing about fighting the climate crisis, and all about adapting to the changing climate.
@DavidPiccini@conont@andyianmitchell What about working towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and investing in renewable energy projects? Instead of filling the pockets of fossil fuel magnates.
@DavidPiccini Hearing from them and doing something about it are different things. Perhaps these youth should be given party memberships, as the majority of conservatives won’t admit climate change is real.
@remedios_peter@SaskPatriot@carletonjtysick That’s fair, you don’t. You asked for the reasoning behind my opinion, so I provided it. I wish you the best of luck in your riding and take care.
@remedios_peter@SaskPatriot@carletonjtysick Climate change is both natural and human caused. The Paris agreement suggests ways to reduce human based contributions. Your party’s stance on adapting to “natural climate change��� and by withdrawing, I feel your party denies any human involvement.
@SaskPatriot@remedios_peter@carletonjtysick I’m willing to listen to any counter arguments. I don’t believe in climate hysteria, but an informed opinion will inherently be biased. That’s called taking a stance on an issue. I’m willing to listen and adapt if the argument is convincing.
@SaskPatriot@carletonjtysick If, by having an opinion that is contrary to yours, you perceive that as wilfully misleading myself, then I could certainly say the same thing back.
Disagreeing with you does not mean I’m leading myself in a direction I don’t want to take.
@SaskPatriot@carletonjtysick My opinion is more malleable than I feel you’re giving me credit for, I’m willing to listen to your opinion and arguments if you’d like. I just don’t see enough from the PPC platform specifically.
@ciciwanita@carletonjtysick Read it over and you are correct it isn’t stated anywhere. Aside from guiding parties to monitor their “contributions”, it doesn’t state anything about natural climate change. However it doesn’t explicitly state that climate change is entirely manmade either
@ciciwanita@carletonjtysick This a quote from the IPCC FAQ section: “The major natural factors contributing to climate change on time scales of decades to centuries are volcanic
31 eruptions and variations in the sun’s energy output.”
I’ll check the Paris Agreement now
