To those worried about the climate, and more precisely (because I am not talking about the micro-climate or the regional climate, but about the global "climate" in the sense given to it by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC) to those who think that:
1. the earth is warming, and that
2. this warming is due to the greenhouse effect, and that
3. carbon dioxide is the cause of the greenhouse effect, I ask:
Are you doing something, practically, to solve the problem that concerns you? If so, have you found a way to verify the effectiveness of your action? And if not, what is the practical consequence of your climate concern?
For example, here are some practical, easy actions taken from my personal experience, whose effectiveness is easily verifiable:
- to reduce air pollution in the city: Walk, cycle, use public transport, refuse electric vehicles - which pollute more because of their weight and tyre wear.
- to reduce soil pollution: Reduce electrical gadgets, keep your cell phone and computer longer (continue to use it even when the battery, after 6 or 7 years, no longer takes a charge), continue using old, lightweight and "offline" software, refuse electric bicycles, scooters and cars, eat less meat, eat more organic products, avoid plastic bags...
- to reduce pollution in homes and fight against the epidemic of catastrophic fires: Eliminate plastics (including plywood and particle boards or "OSB" full of glue), PVC floorings, polyurethane foam sofas and beds (yes, 95% of IKEA is to be rejected), and even acrylic paints and "vitrification" of wooden floors and even certain "linseed oils" which contain chemical hardeners, and prefer lime paint and mustard or other natural oils, in short, make your house thinking of your baby crawling on the floor and putting everything, absolutely everything, in her mouth. It is not always easy, but very simple, and doable without asking "experts".
- to fight against desertification and the poisoning of water and soil: Refuse pesticides and "pest control", plant diverse and local species, preserve wetlands, use dry toilets.
- to fight against the increase in our economic vulnerability: Make bioclimatic homes, cities and factories, where natural light, natural ventilation and passive solar design ensure a comfortable climate without depending on machines (which humanity has done for 12,000 years until 1950-80, and continues to do in many regions of the world);
- to fight against world hunger: Refuse necrofuels and burn, in vehicles or for heating, exclusively fossil fuels (gas or petrol) or otherwise, agricultural waste that you produce yourself (pruning branches, dead leaves, etc.)
- to fight against the deterioration of the (micro) climate: Refuse artificialization of soils, plant trees (local and diverse);
- to respect our children and grandchildren: Refuse nuclear energy.
Etc. etc. Only simple, feasible things, easy to understand, explain, verify, prove. Nothing controversial, by the way.
Compare with the crazy or criminal, unverifiable "solutions" of the apostles of the "climate"...
What is "scientific"?
An action whose effects can be verified immediately and by our own means?
or complicated theories that do not lead to any concrete action with verifiable effects?
Unfortunately, late Bruno Latour, who argued that science is the product of scientific institutions and not the other way around, has successfully given theoretical foundations to contemporary political philosophy, that of Covid, Nuclear Power, Liberal Nazism, Democratic Genocide, Jihadism in Business Suit, and War abroad as a guarantee of "Peace" at home.
