Quote:The Earth is not overpopulated. If it were, nature would kick in and the death rate would go up. Plus, science is now growing meat I hear. There is no need to reduce the population, and if anyone tells you different, they are a fascist.
I agree with you up to your final conclusion,which is an ad hominem. A person may disagree AND be a fascist,but a person is not a fascist BECAUSE they disagree,which is how I read your conclusion. Apologies if I've misunderstood.
I accept the arguments for climate change because it seems reasonable to do based on what I've read and seen. I don't claim to understand more than a little of the science.However,I've seen enough first hand in many countries [starting with my own] to accept we fuck up the environment everywhere and it needs to stop.
PLUS more often than not I'm confronted with something like that video which featured a scientist vs a seemingly thick political hack. I had no problem deciding who was the more credible. Ok,that's not quite true; the hack has no credibility with me at all.
