They are protesting wind farms being built on indigenous lands. For the love of god, can you fucking people read an article before commenting, just once?

If you read about it, you’ll find that they are protesting them being put on trial indigenous land. People really need to read before commenting on such things.

I replied to your comment first but then decided to reply to the other guy. But basically, stop making bad faith dumbass arguments. It’s not our job to handhold your baby smooth brain to the truth, which often has nuance and layers to it. Of course climate change is an existential threat—doesn’t mean that you should just cover the world in wind turbines without thinking critically about where to put them.

Yeah I mean you can make a bad faith dumbass argument against anything. Shouldn’t be the job of the people actually trying to change things to handhold you towards the plain truth. Climate skeptics have google and can read the basic facts of climate change themselves. I would call them more like “climate conspiracy theorists.” It’s hard to convince a conspiracy theorist that they’re wrong about anything, as they’re always bending the truth and moving the goalposts. While the skeptics are googling climate change, they can also google why it’s important to respect/protect indigenous peoples’ lands and the wildlife that live on those lands. I’m sure there’s other places that they can put the windfarm.
Climate change is an existential threat. Full stop. It’s not an immediate “right now” threat to the lives of those who live in non coastal, non equatorial countries with modern infrastructure and relative economic stability. Unless you count the lives lost in the increasingly intense storms that are caused by warming waters. We’re already seeing “climate refugees” ie people displaced from their homeland because of the unlivability of their current situation. People are already dying because of climate change. It’s going to get worse and worse if we don’t do anything. It’s that simple, just look it up and read about it

As an American, even reading that article I don’t understand how or why that would work or be good… but I’m glad Denmark is in NATO. You guys rock.

I hope you are joking. I would trade each of my accrued PTO days for any amount of less war.

It called taking a holistic approach. There are downsides to every action. We don't need to cover the entire world with turbines.

Really? How. Explain why caribou grazing is more important than developing alternative energy generation capacity from a climate change perspective.

How does a windmill stop reindeer grazing? Reindeer aren't even endangered. Stupid move.

Reply to comment by Icy_Mousse_4144 in Tourists expecting San Diego sunshine arrive as next storm moves in by McPokeFace
Native San Diegan: May and June are known for generally decent temperatures, but expect high overcast skies, especially along the coast for up to a few miles inland. You'll still have a good time and there's plenty to do, just remember that you can still get a sunburn from overcast skies.
This is the coldest/wettest late-winter we've had in decades.

You hit the nail on the head. If climate change is an existential threat, then everything else is secondary to that. But here it looks like a caribou grazing patterns are more important than the survival of the human race.
