Comment on: r/science welcomes discussion, so long as you tow the party line
Mate, they're lying to you that it's about people denying climate change. It's not. Sure, a couple of morons don't believe climate change, but the argument isn't if it's real since some years now, it's if the man-made part of it is of a catastrophic magnitude and if/or the goverment is the one to fix it and if the cost to the economy is worth the agreement. The US sunk their emissions by over 50% since 2000 and will continue to sink it regardless of the Paris agreement. People are really saying that somehow it doesn't matter that much if China is in on the deal because they sunk their emissions a teeny tiny bit the last couple of years but somehow that doesn't apply to the US that's steadily sinking their emissions since 2000. Many scientists share that opinion too (the famous 97% is if they believe the change is real at all, it's not even if there's any man-made part). Many countries don't even do anything to lower their emissions, it's just virtue signalling, like Canada that signed an agreement but then backed off when they realized that their emissions rose or like Germany that is shutting down their nuclear power plants in favour of coal, meanwhile they're telling their neighbour countries that they have to shut all of their coal plants down, even tho Germany's emissions are higher and are rising. This is a prime example of how Germany uses it's influence in the EU for their national interests and disguises it as global interests. The same people who call people with this opinion that they are "anti-science" are often opposing nuclear power plants and disregarding the fact that they need non-renewable energy, even if they'd put all of the world's money into their renewables, so they will be relying more on coal themselves while bashing the evil US. The same people will also disregard science completely when it comes to abortion because it doesn't fit their narrative. (I'm not anti-abortion myself) Keep in mind, the USA could never back off from the agreement (if it's really that great then why didn't Obama show it to the senate) and then just disregard it completely and nobody would bat an eye. So how anti-science am I?
