You havent offered anything !!! Who says there is no alternative ?
I have offered an explanation of why it is impossible to stop using fossil fuels âcold turkeyâ, without disastrous results to the worlds economy.
You have not offered anything at all. Do you have a solution? (4X)
Who said anything about stopping immediately? Why do you have to constantly misrepresent others?
OK, set me straight. What is your solution? (5th request)
You dont get to demand others provide a solution when you havent demonstrated why yours is the only way. Gradual is undefined

Neither of you are offering much of anything. Frank just tells people they are wrong. Liberals have been doing that since the 60s and they made a lot of cultural changes, but not much difference in how the world is run. He finds fault with that, but no solution. Write is a classic âthe way out is the way throughâ argument. There arenât flying electric cars at the end of that path.
Back in those 60s, a Minnesotan solved a famine in Mexico and the US government took that and called it the âgreen revolutionâ. We sent tractors and technology to the countries bordering China, countries probably would have been absorbed to their authoritarian rule. We combined the stories of feeding the world and fighting communism to get everyone on board.
Feeding the world is a hard sell. People are charitable to their neighbors, not the other side of the world. We had a chance for peace in the 90s but thatâs not very good for an oil-based economy. When we wanted to defeat Nazis, we grew gardens and rolled our toothpaste tubes up to recycle into war machines. Now we need to defeat hunger, disease, and pollution, ah, too much trouble, I need to drive from my mostly empty house to right in front of my office and on the way choose from 23 types of bagels and get a coffee grown by a guy who is surrounded by paramilitaries that are a direct result of that war machine we built. But itâs good for the economy.
This short clip is a juxtaposition of realities, that makes for great comedy. Yes, Iâm ruining the joke. Just before this bit, where he feels at one with everything, feeling unconditional love, he would often do a bit on the hypocrisy of religions, like how they kill doctors in the name of saving unborn children. He was a solid atheist, so his use of the word âgodâ and âspiritâ here are memes about the sense humans have for connectedness and compassion. Stories like this, drawing on those natural feelings, have motivated people to build cathedrals and expand their territory for what they considered were the right reasons. Since weâve covered the whole world, figured how to feed ourselves, figured out where we are in the universe, we canât figure out what to do with the cathedrals. We say we canât afford to care about people who arenât born yet, but when Notre Dame burned, suddenly numbers were being written on pieces of paper. The economy is fake.
Bill Hicks: Why Psilocybin Mushrooms Should Never Be Legalized
Yes, I do get to demand from you if you demand from me, idiot!
If you tell me that I am wrong but you do not offer a viable alternative, you are the one that is in error.
I am telling you that there is only one way and that is gradually and requires the use of the remaining oil, because to do anything at all in the current fossil fuel based economy, it requires the use of fossil fuels to proide the transports of replacement materials worldwideâŚ
In this case gradual is defined by the availability of remaining oil reserves, which is estimated to last at most 40 years (4 decades). All people under 35 years will experience the END OF OIL.
Do you have a better alternative? (6th request). If you do not provide an alternative to my analysis, you are just a troll!
False . Frank asks why are you right. A hostile question in CFI world
The swamp rises . You have to dip into loser name calling to save your arguments
Sorry to see you go Frank. You could have made the slightest adjustments in your choice of words and kept your account. P
