It's the Climate, stupid

[Three Berries]

Outspoken AND incredibly stupid

call you reacharound sue

Explain to me how you are going to go without plastic or oil based products in your life.

And because I'm so stupid, explain to me how my view points on plastics and fossil fuels are stupid, not using current political climate science as a reason. I will accept logic.

Obviously it's all or nothing, right?

That's the narrative. There is not something you can touch that either isn't made with oil or used in it's manufacturing.

And plastic in the ocean or plastic straws is not a US problem.

Look for the rivers of plastic videos

Nothing but insults...... Obviously just brainwashed.

So all these US based community plastic recycling projects just bail the stuff up and send it to timbuctoo? What's a guy to do? The politicians pulling a fast one probably making bank on it too.

You should be happy to know I burn almost all my plastic, completing the carbon cycle.

You are correct about the plastic waste in Latin America. The amounts are shocking. It is not solely a US problem. It is a human problem, a world problem. Oil, the wonder dug that cured our ills, is drowning us. The USA can afford to export plastic waste to our closest neighbors.

U.S. plastic scrap export destinations 2021 | Statista

The leading destination for scrap plastic exports from the United States is Canada.

We have plenty to export too.

U.S. plastic waste generation 1960-2018 | Statista

The United States generated 35.8 million metric tons of plastic waste in 2018.

www.statista.com

When more than 180 nations agreed last year to place strict limits on exports of plastic waste from richer countries to poorer ones, the move was seen as a major victory in the fight against plastic pollution.

But new trade data for January, the first month that the agreement took effect, shows that American exports of plastic scrap to poorer countries have barely changed, and overall scrap plastics exports rose, which environmental watchdog groups say is evidence that exporters are ignoring the new rules.

The American companies seem to be relying on a remarkable interpretation of the new rules: Even though it’s now illegal for most countries to accept all but the purest forms of plastic scrap from the United States, there’s nothing that prevents the United States from sending the waste. The main reason: the United States is one of the few countries in the world that didn’t ratify the global ban.

Maybe the USA is a part of the problem?

How do you burn your plastic, @Three Berries ?

 

[mexcurandero420]

There is a shortage of diesel.Why export plastic, when you can use it to make diesel by dry distillation of plastic.

Why do you think that is, @mexcurandero420 ?

 

[mean mr.mustard]

I will accept logic.

Objection on the grounds of bullshit.

Patently false claims have no place in the discussion.

 

[mexcurandero420]

European economy must go down, no Russian diesel thnx to Sleepy Joe.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

Yes it was the US president.

Nothing at all to do with Russian aggression and supply disruption.

In the US they get gov monies to make diesel out of soybeans. They get gov monies to have urban plastic collection programs.

They are always talking about a trash to cash incinerators here that produce electricity but that is all verboten now. And when it wasn't the NIMBYs rose up to stop the incinerators. It's the NIMBYs are who also stop the plastic from being buried in landfills.

Trying out a new nickname?

You would die of sheer ecstasy if Trump was tweeting again... wouldn't you?

I keep thinking about your suggestion that petroleum is eternally produced by Earth's mantle.

I have yet to find a limit to the obscurity of the "facts" and theories you conjure.
