Climate Change Thread

Your potatoes and apples and grains are full of poison. Stop growing them immediately.

MY potatoes and apples and grains are still natural enough (although the situation is changing), so you might be correct speaking of YOURS. And you don't seem inclined to stop growing them. Anyway, call Monasanto for further information.

Please.

This is the level of argument I like.

We have established that available fluorescent and LED lighting is straightforwardly less bad than filament lighting and filament lights.

Beer is straightforwardly less bad than vodka, paper bags are straitforwardly less bad than plastic ones, but somehow the "badder" ones are still not banned. How come and why is it different for LEDs and incandescents? And why CFLs are not banned since they are straightforwardly worse than LEDs?
Banning something in such cases is not a solution, especially in the countries that are all about human rights and freedom.

The only concern I will give you is if dictats are too fickle or rapid to cope with for the citizen. But it's not happening anytime soon. Even in OECD countries, the filament bulb is used as majority in residential buildings (though almost not at all in industrial/commercial buildings by now). Incandescents are actually proportionally less-used in non-OECD countries in "the Global South", if only because kerosene lighting is still so popular. So don't worry about it too much, your children will take care of you.

My concern is not about the speed of implementation, but about the imposition of views WHERE YOU LIVE. And I don't worry at all, WHERE I LIVE incandescents (replaced when needed) will last me my life time.

Come-the-on, a whole paragraph about the spatial difficulties of photon distribution in traditional ukrainian homes regarding the spatial properties and material placement of LED light bulbs when capitalism already has you covered:

Yes, it's about as glassy as the indandescent, but that was wanted in the first place, no?
Regarding waste and so on, they also last longer than incandescents, that should reduce the glass waste in comparison.

I will make inquiries about it, but not sure it made its way in here. And the price will aslo matter since if something is labeled as "innovation" it is sure to be not cheap.
