Oh hey it’s the thing ive been saying. This guy is stealing my material! /joking
Trump just casually solving the climate crisis here.
It took millions of people dying and a genocide for this to happen 🤦♂️ I really don’t understand people.
The answer is money.
I know 😔 I still find it hard to believe that people can be so short sighted and selfish.
So what is the downside of this? It seems like a net-positive. Decreased demand for fossil fuels is great! It’s a shame it took a bunch of death and destruction, but now that it has happened, the silver-lining is quite shiny.
Decreased demand for fossil fuels means lower GDP. “The GDP of a nation is its fossil fuels usage” : Jancovici
Energy use and economic output are interconnected. Wealthier countries typically have higher energy consumption per person, contributing to their higher GDP per capita.
As with all rules of thumb, they don’t tell the whole story. Using fossil fuel usage as the sole stand in for energy usage, in an age when fossil fuel usage is being replaced by a different source… Is dumb.
lower GDP
What America may need to grok is that GDP is not the same as happiness, and in a choice between the two GDP seems to be irrelevant.
This is why China is pursuing electrification. If transportation is battery powered, oil decouples from GDP.
They seem to be the only country on Earth that is actually taking this seriously. Everyone else seems to think oil is forever.
If only there were a way to generate near unlimited amounts of energy without fossil fuels.
The entire concept of GDP is going to be the end of humans
It was just implemented wrong, if you read the original paper military spending was meant to count against a countries GDP, if the US had actually used GDP in the way the original authors described they would of probably had negative growth for years now.
Pardon my ignorance but… So what? Like, what if somecountry isn’t winning the economic dick waggling competition?
Less food
That number is not actually representative of how much food they produce, though.
notice he made an assessment on getting more pil for the North Sea as a useless idea, meanwhile down in dumb fuck Australia
