No one coming to this thread wants to read this.
Take it outside.
I beg to differ. I always find it very entertaining when I stumble upon random drama in threads
I don't see any drama though. I have responded respectfully with a insight that very few are aware of.
Please read up on who Frank Luntz is, then read the leaked memo, then read up on how the rhetoric and arguments surrounding climate change changed because of it and then see that Luntz himself accept climate change.
He did the same thing with Estate tax, first most americans were for it, then he told them to call it "death tax" and say so and so and suddenly everyone was against it.
He is a marketing propaganda genius. Read his book "Words that work"
Yeah, because saying skeptics can't understand 5th grade science and just read tabloids is SOO respectful.
And I fully except that the climate is changing. It has for millions of years. I'm just anti-initiation of force. If you GW alarmists want to plant a bunch of trees to try and make things better, go for it. Just don't ever try and shove some mandatory carbon tax down my throat and I'll be happy.
Well this will be my concluded remarks on this as I frankly do not care.
1) The emissions that we are responsible for is mainly methane and Co2. Once you understand how these work in the atmosphere and then understand the basics of sunrays, the rest is self-explanatory. Which is why this was predicted a century ago. So obviously *any* person who rejects the *SCIENCE* behind climate change, simply do not grasp or comprehend 5th grade science. It is not my opinion, it is not an insult, it just is. As a independent fact of our Universe. Just like anyone who wants to claim that 5+5 = 332.87 simply do not understand 1st grade math.
2) As the memo *proves* the rhetoric that is regurgitated by climate skeptics come from the bs the Bush administration fed the tabloids. This is well documented and perhaps one of the most insightful modern studies on propaganda.
3) Natural climate change vs man driven is two very different things. The first takes place over millions of years, slooooooowly so that all life has time to adapt. It's when shit hapens so fast that there is literally zero evolution taking place, that species suffer. For instance Titan boa (biggest snake to ever have existed). It could crush the largest crocodiles ever (size of trucks). If you had suddenly placed it in a cold climate overnight, it would die instantly and the specie would go extinct. However if the temperature drops over the course of millions of year, they simply adapt and shrink. Which they did.
This is the problem our own specie aswell as several other innocent ones are suffering from today. We do not have time to adapt and so we get fucked instead.
4) I have never ever argued for any sort of policy in any of my climate change debates. So no idea why you bring that up. Do we *have* to deal with it somehow? Of course. Am I arguing for one way or the other? No. It would be a gigantic discussion. Which leads me to my conclusion...
Whether or not you accept science and whether or not you give a fuck about the environement, you should still be able to see what I've been arguing for over and over: THIS IS A GREAT MARKETING OPPOURTUNITY. The NXT community already having such a initiative on the exchange can give headlines. Especially given the fact that PoS is so green compared to Bitcoin.
This is a marketing oppourtunity above all else in the context of NXT
If you want to talk about it in terms of Nxt marketing, I think it's a mistake. If you want to promote it to other people that believe in anthropogenic GW than go for it, but I think you're underestimating the amount of 'people that don't understand 5th grade science' in the bitcoin community. If you guys think our little debates are bad, try talking about GW on a grand marketing scale for Nxt and watch what happens...
