I see how bringing these topics up tend to bitter the taste of us gamers. Can I ask a mod to take remove this or how does it work? Report? lol
1 degree... Fahrenheit.I have a question for the right wing:
Just how much degrees (celcius) ARE you okay with the earth warming?
For some freaking reason, this whole debate gets presented as if it's something people on the left want. But I'm pretty sure that IF the climate spirals out of control, we will all either die or be worse off. So with the scepsis of scientists as taken for granted (or is it? It's often presented as if people on the right side distrust science, but I honestly don't know for sure )...just how many degrees do YOU think is smooth sailing?
Most definitely true or how they do in Reddit: ^ThisSeveral things arose but one of the big ones was that the right wing parties by measure of their typical talking points have gone rather more centrist in recent years

Pretty unlikely. Scientists are desperately getting countries to keep things within 1.5 degrees Celsius heating That's about 2 degrees Fahrenheit, so that would make political right even more eager to put through than the left (granted : it would fit the description of 'conservative ).1 degree... Fahrenheit.
I know all that. That's precisely why I'm asking. Look... If a location raises 100 degrees Celsius - that's the difference between the freezing point of water and its boiling point - then no sane man is going to argue it's no longer livable. There is no "but the economy" or a"its not our fault " question then but a " this place is uninhabitable ". Would that be a scenario worth trying to prevent?Well, most republicans I know take a very nihilistic viewpoint to this(if they think global warming is even an issue, and even then, most of them think it's due to natural causes. Pompeii and other volcanic explosions eventually led into the ice age they claim). Basically, after looking at the simulations, most of them have determined that anything we do in regard to global warming is pointless. To stop global warming, not only would we have to shut down tons of factories and power plants(Millions without a job). I would predict the biggest economic crash since the Great Depression. Possibly worse. Even beyond that, there's no guarantee the other countries will do the same. China'll just snicker as he asks how we'll pay off our debt now.
But besides that, the market has been moving to nuclear and solar for years now, without any government intervention. Because it's plain cheaper in a lot of cases.
Then we'd have to delete the blogs section, the EoF, General Off-Topic Chat, etc.Get rid of politics section on GBAtemp. This should be a gaming centric site.

Sorry... I know you can't answer that on behalf of an entire group. But that debate is getting me more and more the mental image of one group trying to rescue the human race while another basically says "screw future generations".
The leaders of both sides seem to agree on this, but I no longer see much support for endless meddling and war among their subjects.Things both sides seem to agree on. Drone strikes and projection of power - killing innocent people to further our geopolitical interests.
That's a very silly question. Of course nobody wants the Earth to heat up, but you have a couple options to stop it.Just how much degrees (celcius) ARE you okay with the earth warming?
