Hey, if you're that insecure about your manhood that you need to judge what people use or don't use to drink beverages, go ahead and continue being the beverage drinking police...

I particular dislike the plastic bags with dog doo in them left along the side of the trail.

No, I far prefer disposable single use bags

I hate that too

I use them as bin bags. When shops get rid of them, I have to buy bin bags which are twice the size. So it doubles the waste.

Like, the one time I want to avoid the stupidity and raicsm of the main board, the idiot mods can't even let me do that.

I prefer brown paper bags at the grocery store. Good for starting fires or going in the garden/compost pile.

1. It’s along with most global warming a marketing lore selling good feelings like charity donation frauds

2. Plastic bags don’t do much to net carbon output… It takes energy to create and dispose of any sort of bag…

3. Carbon output globally is majority a function of standard of living of populations…

4. Other Third World countries are increasing standard of living therefore it is impossible to mitigate carbon output realistically by individual trying to cut down.

5. If everyone in the World teamed up and cut their output by 50% they would be cutting their standard of living hugely… won’t happen…

6. Any excess carbon problem will be solved by chemical engineering solutions and other engineering solutions…

This is a pretty good summary. Although I would say we could dramatically reduce the global carbon footprint. By ramping up fracking which would allow us to reduce the usage of coal, and ramping up nuclear which would allow us to reduce dependence on every other form of energy we could dramatically reduce carbon emissions.

The other thing we could do is focus more on economic development. The reality is countries do not give a crap about emissions until they are wealthy. Why would you care about whether the global temperature rises 1.5 or 2 degrees over the next hundred years when you are in poverty. The only countries to reduce emissions have been rich ones. This means accepting some fossil fuel usage in the short term as nations lift themselves out of poverty then push for cleaner options. Also give up already on solar and wind. They are unreliable, expensive, nations with heavy amounts of those sources actually increase emissions, and the construction/decommission of those sources is an environmental disaster.

"Best move ever." Does your woke country really suck THAT bad?
