What are they having you do and what is the ship's duty?

I don't care how desperate people get. Theft is not the answer. There's nothing so important that you have to risk a prison sentence just to have it.

The government has money. The Republicans know this. They were the ones who authorized the purchase of two Gulfstream private jets for Kristy Noem as well as the money for Trump's ballroom. That money could have easily gone to pay federal employees.

It used to be when people talked about the end of the world, we laughed them off or locked them up. Sometimes both. But we never took them seriously.

Maybe we should have.

The dream of new lands and a new home is a powerful lure.

That's like giving the winner of a Vodka-drinking contest more Vodka and thinking it will make him less drunk.

They want to save the planet, but they also want more pollution-generating factories and data centers because they think the solution to the problems caused by technology is more technology.

This is literally the logic these climate change hawkers are using.

Data centers alone contribute more than 150 million metric tons of CO2 every year, and yet we praise companies that want to build more data centers to support our insatiable appetite for more technology. And that's not including the CO2 emissions from the electricity generation to power them.

We literally cannot meet the climate goals they set for us, without giving up our technology. That's the thing people need to realize.

We have to decide between saving the planet or having our technology. We cannot have both. Anyone who thinks we can, is a liar.

The pollution generated by the factories that manufacture our phones and computer parts, and the pollution generated by the data centers used to run our technology, are all ignored by these climate change "scientists"

Our technology is the real problem.

The problem isn't what these "scientists" say it is. They all claim it's because of all the fossil fuels we are burning, but the hard reality is that the data shows the spike in CO2 emissions coinciding with the beginning of the mass production of consumer electronics.

Literally the ONLY way we can meet the climate goals these "scientists" are telling us to meet, is to give up our technology.

At some point, we will be forced to choose between saving the planet or having our technology. We cannot have both, no matter what we think.

The problem started when we became greedy and wanted advanced technologies to make our lives easier.

If you go back and look at the data, you will see that the sudden increase in CO2 emissions coincides with the beginning of the mass production of consumer electronics. Our technology is the problem

Besides, while all of you are running around like Chicken Little trying to figure out how to solve the problem without actually doing anything to solve the problem, I'm over here preparing for the inevitable.

Are you sure about that? All the data I am seeing tells me we are very close to the peak, if not rapidly approaching it.

Do you want to save the planet or do you want more technology? You can't have both. It's one or the other.

Choose wisely.

In 2023, data centers accounted for a substantial portion of U.S. electricity use and contributed approximately 105 million metric tons of CO2 emissions.

And yet here the lot of you are praising companies that build more polluting data centers just to make your AI or tech toys run better.
