Climate change: New Zealand's plan to tax cow and sheep burps

[Cosmik Debris]

I am not denying that.
What I am suggesting is that you read up basic calculus and how exponential functions behave, logistics curves in particular. Your answers and questions show me a profound ignorance of the most basic mathematics.

It's like talking to someone who is innumerate.

We're not speaking math. We're speaking population increase. Answer the following:

1. Is the planets population increasing?
2. Are resources on the planet like coal infinite?
3. Does increased population use resources faster?

Over to you. Until these are answered, I am finished with you regarding your BS on here.

We're not speaking math. We're speaking population increase. Answer the following:

1. Is the planets population increasing?

Yes, but at a reduced rate.

2. Are resources on the planet like coal infinite?

Some are finite, some aren't like water that only changes form, but the amount of reserves are so enormous that that question becomes pointless.
What matters is the price of extraction.
The Simon abundency index shows you clearly that resources are getting cheaper i.e. more abundent despite population growth.

3. Does increased population use resources faster?

No they do not. Resources consumption only correlates with population growth during the first two phases of industrialization.

Think of it this way, if everyone has a house. Why would the sales of cement remain high? The amount of limestone has little to do with consumer patterns.

Over to you. Until these are answered, I am finished with you regarding your BS on here.

I answered them, but you're pretending not to understand and the questions that you're asking shows me a profound innumeracy.

Yes, but at a reduced rate.

Is a reduced rate a billion every decade or so compared to only reaching 1 billion by 1800 for the first time?

Until you are honest with the other questions, you're on hold.

The current rate (that keeps falling btw) the world's population is never set to double. In Japan, China and some places of Europe we might even see a population decline soon. For example Italy is known for having too many old people.

Even if the population increase, our efficiencies keep on improving faster. So it's not a remote issue.

Take the Dutch, it's one of the most densely populated places on earth. Yet rich and prosperous. Then take chad, one of poorest and sparsely populated.

Who has more access to resources?

 

[Paulsie]

Strawman.

It has all been explained to you previously, why do you continue to flog a dead horse?

Because it's @Cosmik Debris. Always stuck with his own thoughts.

@Nicodeamus - you should ask him for his diploma in mathematics, otherwise, according to his own standards, he has no place nor capacity of discussing this topic with you.

Diploma?

Diploma?

Diploma: MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES | Diplomas and Degrees - CPUT

Cape Peninsula University of Technology, a university in Cape Town, South Africa, is the only university of Technology in the Western Cape province, and is also the largest university in the province.

There were no Universities of Technology when I studued. There were Technical Colleges.

What about people burping?

Save the planet, ban beans!!

 

[SlinkyMike]

Sure, cos paying more taxes to fatten the political elites wallets who couldn't even contain a virus in a lab and stop it spreading world wide is going to magically terraform the planet in to the tiny humans parasites ideal utopia... the arrogance of the climate cult believing they can control a planetary bodies billions of years old climate system is astounding

Bro, is anything disagree with not a cult?

 

[MuterOfWorlds]

Magnetic north is as far south as Siberia now and still moving. This must surely have impact on climate?

And how come we never hear about El Nino or La Nina anymore? Mankind kill them off too or just not convenient?

And what about how Sahara was once a luscious forest and Nile ran all the way through to ocean on west Africa. Us humans cause that climate change too?

Why does it appear that debates on climate change tend to look back at little more than past 100-200 years and not further back? To examples of prior actual evidenced cataclysmic climate changes?

Bruh, I'm sticking with moses going through the desert and all their 4x4s. They started climate change.

Not the Egyptions and their ego stroking 'skyscrapers', mining, quarries and and and? One could argue Moses led the first march of the working force to save the climate. Guess depends which version of history you follow.
