Few things before I get down talked

  • I am not an extremists and I believe in Tech, I mention it because getting rid of everything like cars, airplanes is for my understandings not an option for modern society. I know some people here see it different but please keep that in mind.
  • I know some things I mention are highly controversial because everyone has its own opinion but I think proposed ideas are necessary trade-off.

You do not need to like it but this is what I suggest.

  • Invest more money into Fusion Power.
  • Remove all nuclear power plants and replace them with wind, earth thermal energy, water, and the other usual renewable suspects.
  • Create more decentralized networks for energy create more batteries on bigger scale, the money we use for nuclear and power plants can be used to create batteries facilities near wind off-shore parks because wind and sun is not always blowing and shining.
  • Declare coal and nuclear illegal, positive effect for climate directly because no nuclear threat + better air quality + less people die because coal has bad history regarding your health when you work there or live near around it.
  • 2 humans only policy. I think 2 children are enough. Of course this is against freedom but I see this as necessary evil. However, I am against shooting someone, the punishment should more to cut funding from government in case you violate it. I am not someone who says you should get rid of the child or something, because there is still rape etc. I think life should be valued but there should be some restrictions on how you punish someone because otherwise people find excuses to bypass this rule. I am aware that this is alone is controversial and delicate topic.
  • Renew the energy networks, the ones we have a not really designed to be used the way we use it and we need fundamental upgrades to handle decentralization. So we need money here to improve the situation.
  • Money for research should be a much higher priority. We should fund good ideas and instead of wasting 2 trillion each year on war, weapons etc, we should use the money for good. This also can be used for medical things.
  • Create at least in the cities better infrastructure for bicycles and open supermarkets 24 7. In my country supermarket often closes and running them maybe 24 7 helps to hire more people, easily ride with your bicycle into it whenever you have time, after work etc.
  • Getting rid of plastics or drastically reduce it, the effect would be noticeable I think, see oceans, micro-plastics, cancer rates etc.
  • Support more vegans and find better ways to make it more attractive. I tried it several times and it tastes awful, maybe I had bad recipes or wrong guidance, aka none. I think we should make people more aware of their options and directly provide guidance in the supermarket or via apps funded directly by the government so you know it is open source, no scam and everyone could help submitting new things.
  • War should be declared - useless - and we should work together. Getting rid of all weapons in the world should be a long time goal. I mention it but that is just not realistic until 2050, but I personally would like to see that we evolve to such a point. Positive effects are so many, I do not think I need to mention them all.

This is no end solution and only my first abstract what I think is necessary and needs to be done. I clearly want to outline that all of this is a team effort and we need to come to an common ground and understand + act pretty fast on this if we really want to turn something bad around to gain more time.

It is a team effort sure thing, mentioned already. I care more than most people here cause I have solar, wind and other stuff on my roof since 25 years.

[โ€“] GayLegend@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah but by not sufficiently looking into the political causes for why we're in the situation we're in now you're accidentally enabling further climate catastrophe. That's very good you've had solar and wind on your roof for 25 years, but that's certainly not a reasonable solution for the single mother of 3 in the city. What I'm saying is that your framework is fundamentally built around liberal thinking, and you should expand it by seeing what scientific marxists have to say. Because they've had the solutions for a long time, they're just not at the steering wheel. One scientific marxist I enjoy is Second Thought on Youtube, but I know the blog red sail is pretty swell as well.

[โ€“] CHEFKOCH@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Further climate catastrophe... there always will be the next catastrophe, I think you are delusional how thinks actually on earth work, there always will be an earthquake, volcano etc. This is why I highly suggest getting rid of nuclear energy because the next shit will happen and you measure it on worst case scenarios and not hopes and dreams. Next tsunami will come, with or without our influence and the next power plant will blow up like popcorn and there is nothing you can do, which is the entire basis for my proposal.

The govt needs to support those changes to make it more attractive and not advertise, oh you can sip nuclear waste like mother milk. You need to change things now, we had enough time, now we are running out and nuclear did not solved anything at all, even time is not an argument here since we barely created alternatives in the time, those solutions are as old as humans we only improved it.

You and your maxists I give no shit about politician direction or philosophy we need to do this together, everyone.

[โ€“] GayLegend@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah but there's a reason when covid came there's a million+ american deaths and only about 4 thousand chinese deaths. The difference is marxism, call me delusional all you want but having the right ideas at the helm will actually affect change, not telling people they as individuals can fix and debate it (they can't)

[โ€“] CHEFKOCH@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

We had viruses before covid, we will continue to have new ones, man made, or natural bottom line here is there will be new ones, unpredictable. You cannot predict all possible outcomes, it is not like in a marvel movie. What we learned from Fukushima was, you cannot control and predict all nature based events and disasters but there will be some... END.

Right ideas, can I see your proposal. This thread is my idea and proposal that can work if we all supporting it as fundamental ground.

[โ€“] GayLegend@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I can't give you the whole shpeel, but I can offer you this youtube video that acts as a nice overview of what the socialist project in Bolivia has done. For further research on what marxists do when in power, I would also look at the sustainability policies that Cuba is working towards and how China is working to wean itself off coal by 2040 and expand it's anti-desertification policies. I can reccomend this video for specific policy for cuba and what the cuban people have found to work for them.

Additionally, I would reccomend asking comrades on !genzedong@lemmygrad.ml for more knowledge research on what China does and has in plans to combat climate change, because many of the sources are not available easily in english and many comrades over there can speak and read mandarin sources (if not find well translated sources that I would otherwise link).

[โ€“] CHEFKOCH@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I do not give much about YT videos, I already expressed it, YT and Wikipedia are not sources, they are stitch something together based on actual sources and those sources are books and scientific research. So link the research not a video switched together by a clown.

Since you love YT crap I have some videos too

Pointless, you see, as I present videos, there are same amount of counter videos claiming the opposite, Yt is by no means any credible source, especially not from clown youtubers.

[โ€“] GayLegend@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Oh, actually I found this really good rebuttal to most of those videos

spoiler

The point you missed is that you yourself are bad at considering other people's perspectives and believe yourself to be always right and that's why everyone on this thread is disagreeing with you. Your solutions range from impossible to implement to useless and you're not open to real discussion about it, making this thread not about climate change, but about debating you for no reason whatsoever. Stop taking it so personally and being so self righteous

  • I explained in-depth now, across several threads that nuclear provides no solution over the long run, there is nothing to debate.
  • My solutions are sure as hell not impossible, they need effort from everyone. Your claim is based on nothing. Everyone can do little things, put solar cells on their roof and all such little things.
  • I provided real insights, links and I am not the one who posts memes here, that is you.
  • There is in general no debate with nuclear people possible, as you clearly display here.
  • I am not self righteous, I provided a long term solution that will so or so come in place as depleting resources comes to an end, building more plants will just speedup the process, waste money, pile the trash even higher and the next tsunami will prove me right.

Nuclear people are just incredible low minded in general, you bring arguments forward like that uranium runs out in 130 years and even then they refuse to accept reality.

Opinions from nuclear supporter are so incredible weak and delusional and so far from reality that its grotesque. We had nuclear for 50+ years now, it did not worked out and in the meantime we wasted resources and opportunities in mass to build better and more secure future.

Aww, you're so right :) I was talking about nuclear the whole time and not the fact you were ignoring capitalism as the culprit
