  • I agree. To many are happy to think its somebody else’s fault and that “our children will pay for me”.

    Another hurdle, and nobody likes to admit it, is that a whole lot of the emissions stem from the wants and needs of the people. Not the wealth in itself. So the responsibility falls differently than the wealth distribution.

    Make no mistake, We need to be better at taxing wealth, with all it’s unwanted social and economic effects and disregard for the ecological ones, but it might prove trickier than expected.




  • I did not in any way mean to suggest sensitivity is not a factor, only to suggest that light sensitivity may be more of a spectrum and that there are persons living in a darker world than others. So, it may not be a person on the top of the bell curve that need more light, but someone on the other end of the spectrum entirely.

    Since the top comment in this thread was about needing more light in an already bright room i meamt to say that there might be reasons why people around us prefer 1 or 100000 lumen…


  • Apparently all eyes are not created equal in ability to transfer light to the retina. Some has narrower or wider fields of vision as well. So, where your eyes may be well adapted to low light levels, others may not be. In a world with no artificial shadows and the sun high on the sky for most of the year, being able to filter out sun light might have been a pro, while now needing lots of artificial lights to see straight.









  • Well, the context for this meme were climate action, so I think you are going outside your own discussion.

    And as for your new point, for an outside view, I for one hasn’t heard as much about American unions as I’ve heard the last two years, so there is that. That’s not something spoken about during the four years prior.

    But as I said, the context here was climate action and in that question I’ve only heard about one candidate promising stuff to Big Oil and talking about pulling back offshore wind farms etc.
