What power source does Suzuki support then? E: http://energyquest4nanticoke.ca/suzuki.htm quote:Instead of nuclear, we support the implementation of a multitude of approaches including energy conservation and efficiency measures, as well as renewable sources like wind power, sustainable biomass options, and solar applications. All of these options are cheaper, safer, more versatile, and create more jobs and local self-reliance than nuclear power. Vintersorg fucked around with this message at 14:53 on May 7, 2018 |

Just like Al Franken wasn't as bad as Harvey Weinstein, but they were both bad and needed to go away. Bad things can be bad without all being equally bad.

We aren't convincing people to use less, they can't afford more efficient gear, wind farms use a LOT of land, "sustainable biomass operations" are hardly realistic to a generation who still can't figure out how to use a green bin without it bursting into maggots and solar doesn't work if the air's so filthy you can't see the sun. Nuke baby nuke.

Biomass also involves burning stuff which is something we should be moving away from for electrical generation no matter what the fuel source.

You drew a comparison to Pol Pot as a means of saying "Suzuki is a piece of poo poo so don't listen to him even when he's opposing an rear end in a top hat like Kenney".

quote:“At time zero you have one cell; one minute you have two; two minutes you have four; three minutes you have eight; four minutes you have 16. That is exponential growth and at 60 minutes the test tube is completely full of bacteria and there is no food left, a sixty minute cycle. When is the test tube only half full? Well the answer of course is at 59 minutes; but a minute later it is filled. So at 58 minutes it is 25% full; 57 minutes 12½ % full. At 55 minutes of the 60 minute cycle it is only 3% full. Look, I'm just saying, out of an abundance of caution, maybe we should make sure Suzuki doesn't get his hands on the last infinity stone.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

Even if it was, that kind of glosses over the fact that population growth has always been tied to the carrying capacity of the ecosystem. The population in ancient China exploded because they developed a way to double the annual rice harvest - the invention came first, it wasn't in response to a population that was way too high to sustain. Saying "we're going to run out of space soon!" ignores the fact that we've hit peak population tons of times in the past and instead of growing too far beyond it until mass starvation kills off the species, we just kind of sit at peak until someone invents something that raises it.

TheKingofSprings posted:Just admit you were wrong and move on how is this hard I didn't make a claim (beyond "Suzuki is poo poo" which is trivially correct) so I don't see how I can be wrong. I can admit that people who like Suzuki may have found his presence in a simile with a mass murderer distasteful, but that's a different thing from it being wrong.

CLAM DOWN posted:Omfg what is wrong with you why are you doubling down What is wrong with you that you can't admit Suzuki is a garbage person with a broken brain who should not be listened to? The fact that he has brought environmentalism into the public eye doesn't change the fact that he's an idiot and shouldn't be listened to. That's the whole point. Do you disagree with that? Why listen to Suzuki when we could listen to other scientist-entertainers like Bill Nye or Neil DeGrasse Tyson, who also advocate for many of the same causes but without the nonsense and being complete assholes? EDIT: I'll admit I find it hilarious how much my comments have upset people. I think I get why people enjoy trolling now, it's fun even when it happens by accident!

He's trying to play puppet master now that he's made a complete idiot of himself by comparing Suzuki with Pol Pot.EimiYoshikawa posted:What the gently caress is wrong with you? I really don't understand why people think that PT6A is a reasonable human of some sort just because he doesn't vote Conservative anymore, he's still a conservative piece of poo poo. Not hating gay people isn't enough to make you a good person, it's just the baseline of what should be expected for common decency.

It's a low bar for basic decency around here, I claim, even as I desperately try to hold back my despair at having to make this admission, given that I was born and raised here and know there are at least a few genuinely good people too and also have no financial capability to move away and am also bound by my need to care for my dementia-ravaged grandmother and ailing mother despite my own crippling chronic health problems and poverty. Look, I'm basically saying that deluding ourselves that at least half of this goddamn province's population are under that low bar and not completely worthy of righteous culling is the only thing that keeps some of us going, so don't judge me.
