Home financing ever possible? Probably not!

Well, perspectives can be so different.

Who causes the greater damage? The one who sticks themselves to a road or the one who emits CO2 and thus causes storms, droughts, etc.?
Is something okay just because many people do it?
Is it okay because it has been done that way for a long time?
And do the many do it because they don’t know any better or because they consciously want to change the climate?

Please don’t fall for this crude public broadcasting propaganda. These education refusers and good-for-nothings don’t offer solutions but even prevent photovoltaic companies from doing their work or hinder us engineers in developing better technologies and processes.

There would also be no Tesla or inverter with these owl and Pattex sniffers.

Wonderful argumentation! To be honest, I find it unbelievable how disparagingly you speak about these people. Apparently, these people have achieved exactly what they want with you:

Attention and reach.

That’s exactly what you enable the climate protesters. Thanks to you, the discussion keeps going and people finally engage with the topic of climate change. As long as the resulting problems are felt somewhere in Africa, it’s okay. But woe betide if they affect yourself!

Please explain exactly how the climate protesters hinder you in your work as an engineer. Because you arrive late once or because since this life-changing experience you’ve been whining to your colleagues all the time that the evil government is going to take away your combustion car and even wants a speed limit? Maybe these sensitivities are better off in the Brigitte forum and you will find comfort there.

Yes, you are right, I can't stand these guys, just like most criminals. And they are still being courted by left-wing radicals. That is the problem. Not reporting on them anymore and just ignoring them would be good. The time and energy could then be invested in finding solutions. These few extremists get way too much attention, especially because they spread the lies about climate tipping points. Absolutely anti-scientific nonsense.

The time and energy could then be put into finding solutions. These few extremists get far too much attention, especially because they spread the lies about climate tipping points. Absolutely anti-scientific rubbish.

And how exactly are they hindering you now as an engineer?

And why don't you put your energy into finding solutions and instead whine? Because it's so much easier to point fingers at others.

Personally, since FFF started, I have begun to question and change my own consumption behavior. Sometimes it's exhausting, but it's also fun. We do 98% of our shopping on foot or by bike. It felt strange at first. Now it feels strange to use the car for grocery shopping.

specifically also because they spread the lies of climate tipping points. Absolutely anti-scientific garbage.

Well. It is true that science cannot say exactly WHERE (time, temperature) the tipping points are. Quantitatively. It is not true that there are no tipping points. Qualitatively. Example: The Greenland ice sheet. If it melts from top to bottom, it loses height. Downward, it gets warmer in the atmosphere, regardless of climate change. That means that beyond a certain height, the ice sheet must continue melting, even if global warming were stopped from that point on. That is qualitatively indisputable. So, this tipping point does exist, but it cannot be well localized. It could be reached in 2065 or 2118. With that large tolerance, it is difficult to work.

Example: The Greenland Ice Sheet. When it melts from top to bottom, it loses height. Downward in the atmosphere it becomes warmer, regardless of climate change. That means that from a certain height the ice sheet must continue to melt, even if global warming were stopped from that point onward. This is qualitatively indisputable. So this tipping point does exist, but it cannot be located precisely. It could be 2065 or 2118. With such a large tolerance, it is difficult to work effectively.

When it gets warmer, more water vapor also enters the atmosphere. What proportion of the additional water vapor then comes from melted ice and would thus have no impact on sea level? How does the increase of water vapor in the atmosphere affect temperature and cloud formation? What consequences does this have for precipitation?
The relationships are significantly more complex than to spread panic with one-dimensional statements about what is currently happening, only to then quickly fleece the "ordinary" citizens with the costs for new heat pumps, for which there will supposedly be no electricity anyway.
