    That's either immature or utterly unreasonable... and that's me being kind...

    You have no idea what "leading role" means, then... Esp. given that "we" in the West did the most damage, from the beginning of the industrial era...

    Back to the drawing board for you...

    When one believes in global warming, one likely also believes certain types of insurance are a blessing.

    Being a person of good character, it could not be brought upon oneself to pass an opportunity to engage in open dialog such as this, and so one feels compelled to inform the masses of this great deception.

    With over half of a decade experience in the controlled burn industry, rest assured that where ever we set fire, like clockwork, it becomes a cold environment in the following months.

    Here's an example of a property we burned the entire perimeter, and guess what? Several months later, we now estimate it to be as cold as hell itself.

    This should settle any loose threads or disagreements one may hold regarding the science. Have a blessed day.

    I know and you are right. My reply was related to reducing CO2 level! I did not say that nations with industry do not have a leading role.
    Anything that has to do with pollution and exploiting of the nature.
    The reasoning works without arguing on CO2, though.

    Industry needs energy and resources. And Industry produces waste. Waste during production and later when the product / packaging has 'no use' anymore.
    Fossile fuels and resources are limited. A transition to alternatives is inevitable also to re-use / recycle materials.

    Be mindful of how you use energy in your daily life, it starts with us changing to become more environmentally friendly.

    Personal actions can make a difference in reducing our environmental impact. Being mindful of energy habits is a great start, and you save both our Earth and your wallet. Simple actions like turning off lights when not in use, unplugging electronics, and using energy-efficient appliances can help save energy and reduce emissions.

    Additionally, using renewable energy sources when possible, reducing waste, making sustainable transportation choices, and raising awareness and advocating for policies that promote responsible practices on a larger scale are other ways to contribute to environmental protection.

    It's worth noting that both private jets and the shipping industry are significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Addressing these issues will require a collective effort from individuals, organizations, and governments to prioritize sustainability and reduce our environmental footprint.

    Remember, every little action counts, and collectively, we can make a big difference in preserving our planet for future generations.

    All true - but without changing the system - we'll fail...

    As we focus on reducing our environmental impact, I want to share a story about my father, a diesel engine owner, that illustrates the power of individual actions.

    He has been experimenting with sustainable practices for years, particularly by using cooking oil as a biodiesel blend in his old diesel engine, where he safely mixed it with traditional diesel fuel. By collecting and filtering used cooking oil, he reduced his reliance on fossil fuels and lowered his carbon emissions, all while saving money.

    His story emphasizes how small, everyday actions can lead to positive change. Whether it’s using public transport, conserving energy, or finding ways to recycle, we all have the power to make a difference.

    My two cents.

    It certainly helps - but if we do not see beyond the trees, we won't see the forest and we shall lose the war!!!

    Since 10K years ago, when we invented agriculture ==> large scale ecocide...

    Of course, since you're the Master of the Universe, I don't need to explain what it is, as you know everything...
