I was visiting The Reference Frame where Lubos was talking about the changes required to become 100% carbon free by 2030 and came across this gem:
All industry and traffic will have to be converted to a new kind of energy that either doesn’t exist today or looks economically or socially unacceptable. Agriculture, transportation, and industry represent significant fractions of the greenhouse emissions and the basic nature of all of them will have to be radically changed. That won’t be enough because even breathing and grilling parties produce carbon dioxide. These processes will have to be banned, too, much like alcohol fermentation, cement production, and dozens of other processes.
How is this complete destruction of our civilization justified? Well, those people think that this radical step will lead to a Flat Earth’s Climate (thanks, moptop).
Well I added some emphasis. And capitals.
That just about sums it up. Flat Earth Climate.

One response to “Flat Earth Climate”
This is not going to happen. No matter what new laws arise to prevent the ozone layer from depleting, our lives depend on things like this. We cannot live or move on without grilling parties or cement production. We have already come too far along and must shape up asap or else nothing can stop global warming!
