I can't even convince my "liberal" friends and family to buy an electric car (That I know they can afford), because they are afraid of the slight inconvenience of charging. He is right, the West is unwilling to accept a lower standard of living to address oil usage.

I know I'm generalizing a large group by saying this, but the type of farmers protesting are usually generally against government regulations. I believe in this case, they are protesting restrictions on pollution and nitrogen use, not asking for regulations on distribution.

These farmers are idiots and are protesting the government instead of the corporations paying them low prices and making massive profits

This is the real disconnect. As long as executives' pay are related to profits or stock prices, they will never make safety the #1 priority.

And that point is?

He did from the perspective of the Orcs

Maybe not unpopular on Lemmy, but definitely is in real life.

He doesn't give the math of what he's spending now vs with a heat pump, and he doesn't say he CAN'T afford it, just that it will take too long for him to see the financial benefits. When others try to ask him about details, he doesn't respond.

The whole reason why we're in this mess is the full cost of carbon is not paid by current consumers used to cheap energy. People need to accept that their western standard of living will be reduced to match the correct cost of these comforts without taking a sort of "carbon loan" for the future generations to pay.

It's a very hard pill to swallow, I understand.

Sorry I thought everybody here understood personal sacrifices will need to be made in order to solve the climate change problem. Apparently not, we just like to blame corporations for selling us the things we demand (like gas heating)
