One such one that I've seen online is how a single commercial airliner trip, I assume of some good distance, can burn so much fossil fuel, that how can people argue for recycling if they've ridden on one? What is one trip but burning the equivalent of who knows how many plastic milk jugs and water bottles?

Another argument, one against electric cars, simply states that electricity to run the cars could come from fossil fuel plants. That would reduce pollution where the cars are running, but not in the overall scheme of things. Of course, the solution would be to get solar powered cars.

This is a stupid argument, one thing has nothing to do with the other. I can take a flight once a year and recycle, or I can take a flight once a year and not recycle, clearly one is better than the other.
 
Caring about the environment is wonderful and teaching children what to do and not to do is essential. What I don't like is the guilt trip that people like to put others on if they want to drive a gas powered car instead of an electric one. It's as if someone feels more elite because they think they're saving the world or something.
 
Some say a lack of sunspots might cause a new ice age and global warming would slow it. However, of course, that's not justifying global warming.
 
Overpopulation is part of the problem. More people means more and more pollution. Meaning a lot of those problems are going to be repeating itself simultaneously. Overpopulation also means You have just as many people who don't care about the environment versus those that do care. More people equals more problems.




Everyone thought recycling was great. But truth is most countries turn around & dump all of that plastic that the USA ships to them into the ocean. India being one of them who either dumps it in the river or out into the ocean.



I thought a great solution was to burn it. But people argue that that's bad for the ozone layer and contributes to global warming. So I don't know. It seems getting rid of trash just causes problems either way you slice it.

I'm just not seeing any good solutions.
