Cool Green Pleadge
Calling on all Green New Deal Supporters Poll: Please confirm your Pleadge to NOT turn on your home's air-conditioning - this will save a great amount of energy.
Our power is 100% renewable.
AC pollutes on own no matter if it is powered by renewable
How so?
My electric bill is on average ~$0. Why can't I use AC?
I don't have AC, not hard to give it up.
What sort of environmental impact does forums being polluted with conservative straw-men arguments have? Buying special light bulbs and riding a bike were the liberal answers to climate change. The Green New Deal, however, is focused on structural changes, not liberal personal-morality environmentalism. (Probably why it scares both the right and centrists.) Itās the right step towards actually addressing these issues unlike conservative denial and liberal thumb-twiddling. (Also, i donāt have AC... just go to the movies to mooch their AC when itās too hot. I though it was conservatives who liked to complain that low-income Americans are spoiled if they have AC.)
You must lead a sheltered life. Each personal decision adds up to the sum total impact. Mooching AC from the theater isn't impact free - unless you live next door, you get in the car/Uber and burn gasoline, versus streaming the movie off Netflix. Having children brings more carbon-consuming people to the planet for 80+ years. Taking a plane from NY to Washington, versus Amtrak has an impact - AOC. So, keep on burning hydrocarbons and think the liberal elite can legislate us to a cleaner cooler climate and that you don't need to make any personal changes.
Sorry, iām not a liberal. I donāt think structural problems can be solved by various random individual choices and āmoralā consumption. Canvas bags, specialty foods and Teslaās bought by random yuppies does nothing to offset pollution by companies or larger structural things like car-based infrastructure and urban development.
Deal. On a related note, how about all supporters of the heartbeat abortion ban abstain from sex?
There is zero connection between those two issues.
Between sex and unwanted pregnancies? Are you sure?
