On: Mars sucks

[saithound]

Designed purely to pit people against one another, this is one of the most intentionally cynically, manipulative campaign against climate change that I've ever seen.

You can help discourage further such campaigns by making sure that they don't achieve their stated goals. E.g. to offset people who might be convinced by this drivel, I just went to the EnergyAustralia website, and opted my home and my business premises out of PureEnergy.

It's got a link to Greenpeace at the bottom. I wouldn't expect any less.

I don't think the link has anything to do with people that created the website which is these guys - https://www.activistalosangeles.com/copy-of-who - there's more about them here - https://www.forbes.com/sites/afdhelaziz/2019/04/11/the-power... - doesn't seem to be any direct affiliation with Greenpeace

"Never tell Australians that their coal industry is killing the world, even if it is."

I mean, really?

[GianFabien → somesortofsystm]

Actually they are shutting down coal fired power stations in Australia.

Most of the coal is being burnt in obsolete plants in rapidly industrialising countries.

They are political activists doing politics. What did you expect them to do? It seems to me that environmentalists are held to a higher standard and that seems unreasonable.

Also, isn't it meant with a sense of humor? I thought it was funny and effective at getting towards a different audience. Why get offended?

Am I the only one who thinks the site was made for humor? Isn't it supposed to be funny, not serious?
