Do you see pollution as less of an issue than climate change or more ? Or is climate change and pollution really the same issue repackaged and presented in different ways ?

How does pollution directly affect people vs climate change ?

Is pollution a local issue or a global one ? Is climate change a local issue or a global one ?

Please discuss.
 
Pollution can cause fetal injury and slow development. Where you at pro-lifers?

We can control pollution. I'm not convinced man is the sole driver of climate change. Cleaning up our act can't have any negative effects on the environment so that should be priority number 1.

Carbon footprint is a huge thing we seem to ignore and it factors into both aspects of the environment conversation. I'd like to see some neutral 3rd party work on a CF rating system to slap on products. Recyclabilty, environmental protection standards from place of origin and shipping involved in bringing said product to your local market could be the big 3 factors when eating products. This would help people make informed decisions via slapping people in the face with harsh realities. This would greatly help with both pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Win win!
 
Pollution is how we see ecological damage under a human lense. I'd like to restore large portions of the natural world and defend them with murder bots. You dump a drum full of waste in north Canada or burn some trees in the jungle for graizing land? Murder bots curtousy of the NWO. Ohhh yeah
 
Pollution can be localized or destroy an entire watershed.

I grew up in northern PA coal country and under no circumstances could you drink from any of the natural springs in the area we played as kids because of the heavy metals in the water from the old mines. That's fairly localized.

You've also got things like the gulf of Mexico dead zone from agricultural runoff from all along the Mississippi river. That's massive in scale.
 
Pollution is the equivalent of taking a steamer on your own door step.

Then doing it so many times, you're tippy toeing around it, trying to find a path through it.

And then continuing until you have to accept you need to walk in it every day to live your daily life, then thinking, 'Oh well - beats the effort of not shitting on my own door step'.

And who knows, some disingenuous character making money from the fact you walk through your own shit each morning might even convince you walking through your own shit isn't even that bad, and critics are being super fussy!

They might even convince you to eat it :)

Happy New Year, Sherbros!

Agree with most of your post , I don't think it's important whether we are the sole driver of climate change as we are definitely having a negative impact.

Moving as quickly as we can to renewable energy sources is common sense .

I thought the same thing.

Whether you're the sole contributor to a specific negative isn't important.

If you're a contributor or not is what matters.

But rather than address that, I started rambling about poo.

Thanks for making this point!
 
I don't know which is more pressing, but I think focusing more on pollution would have a greater impact. No one can play dumb and question the science. It's pretty simple: you throw enough shit in the ocean, the ocean is filled with it and animals choke on it.
