OK, with mod stuff out of the way and to be on topic for the thread. Extinction Rebellion spokesperson quits after researching nuclear power Showing that even people who drank the Kool-aid can come around to see reason if exposed to facts in a calm and logical manner. Simply shouting at...

The Boot is here. The Boot is not happy. @Bacle, @Lord Invictus the two of you need to settle down. Everything isn't a personal attack on you. Both of you have plenty of points to raise that are perfectly fine, just stop thinking that the other is trying to insult you when they raise points...

Simple. Prosperity. If they are able to care for and support their families well, and living lion prides in the wild become more valuable to them because they aren't struggling to survive, then said lions will be protected

One thing I will note about whaling. For most of the history of whaling it was actually done at a quite sustainable rate. Even the rise of factory ships didn't change that too much, since just about all of the whale had some market value and storing all of it took up quite a bit of volume. So...

Well, under my pie in the sky, utterly unrealistic and will never happen plan, those CEO's would have a major problem... they'd not be able to do any business in the US. Sometimes being the big dog does have benefits, ja? I will caution against conflating 'cares about climate change' with...

I completely agree about 'climate change' sucking all the oxygen out of real issues facing the environment. Sound fisheries policy, sound forestry policy, economic aid to third world countries to speed them through the 'poor and polluting' phase of industrialization and get them up to more...

I'm going to reply first to @Sol Zagato for a few of his points then pivot to you, if you don't mind me quoting yours since the meat of this reply will be to you and I don't want to clutter things up in a spaghetti. For your point 1, Sol, you are right, this is typical academic shenanigans...

A combination of being involved in actual conservation work since the early '90s, regularly taking a truly epic number of classes on subjects of interest over the years (if I had ever bothered to actually take required classes outside of my interests I'd have several bachelor's degrees by now...

OK, I'll bite, @Bacle , at least a little. Specifically focusing on the pine beetle problem. Yes, it is a significant problem, and yes pine beetles are inhibited by cold snaps below freezing. But that is not the cause of the problem. The most likely cause is idiotic forestry management...

OK, breaking my normal policy of only posting in mod voice in this sub forum since this is a topic near and dear to me. Climate changes, all the time... but the current changes are neither unprecedented nor catastrophic. For example, we are constantly told about how Greenland is melting at an...
