It seems to me that the telling factor in the positions of conservatives re climate change is the size and influence of the fossil fuel industry in that country.

So in Western Europe where the fossil fuel industry's influence is relatively small, conservatives adopt proactive positions on climate change. The UK Germany and Denmark are examples of this.

However in places like Australia, Canada and the US, where the fossil fuel industry's influence is far greater, conservatives tend to adopt positions hostile to the climate change movement.

This suggests that the telling factors are the importance of the fossil fuel industry, its scale relative to the overall economy, and of course, the amount of funds it donates to the conservative side of politics. There is no innate conservative position on climate change if one looks at all the Western countries.

The word is 'idiocy', moron. There's no such word as 'idiocity'. Which makes you look like a right idiot indeed. Not quite what you intended. Especially when you thought you were sounding so intelligent! As if ..... !!!

It is interesting to see you demote yourself from talking about terms and concepts about which you seem rather ignorant to using made-up words that make you look just plain ole ignorant. If nothing else that streamlines things.

As your contributions to these boards seem to consist of nothing more than repeated accusations of hate, it's time someone reminded you that those who point fingers at others have three fingers pointing at themselves.

idiocity
What Jennifer and Mel (the first two people two write a definition for this word) are afflicted with. Idiocity is what causes them to be idiotic. (Actually it's a pretty useless "word", and seems to be an overcomplicated substitute for idiocy, but whatever.)
Mel: Here is an example of 'idiocity' in which idiocity is an adjective - "Jake has a severe chance of inheriting his mother's idiocity."
Me: You idiot, that would make it a noun, for it to be an adjective, it would have to read, "Jake's mother is idiocity.", which doesn't make any sense. Man you have a severe case of idiocity.

Jennifer: Hi, I can't find the 'D' key on my keyboard, so I'll just type a 'C' anywhere there is a 'D'...
Me: I have never witnessed such idiocity.

quote:

China added 39 gigawatts of coal-fired capacity in 2014 — 3 gigawatts more than it added in 2013. That is equivalent to three 1,000 megawatt units every four weeks.[v] At the peak, from 2005 through 2011, China added about two 600-megawatt coal plants a week, for 7 straight years. And, China is expected to add the equivalent of a new 600-megawatt plant every 10 days for the next 10 years. These new coal plants that China is constructing are more efficient and cleaner than their old coal-fired plants.[vi]

China consumes more than 4 billion tons of coal each year, compared to less than 1 billion tons in the United States and 600 million tons in the European Union. China surpassed the United States to become the largest global carbon dioxide emitter in 2007, and it is on track to double annual U.S. carbon dioxide emissions by 2017. By 2040, China’s coal power fleet is expected to be 50 percent larger than it is today and these power plants typically operate for 40 years or more.

Why just look at western countries, other than to do otherwise destroys your narrative

In one party communist-ruled China, there is no conservative side, and therefore there are no "donations" to the conservative side:

Could it be that industry simply requires energy?

You have been misinformed. Difficult to judge from here whether they told you 1 %, 10 %, or 20 % of the story ... but hardly more than that.

Chavez borrowed heavily from different -isms to do what he felt necessary for his country (and to keep himself in power).

quote:

Hugo Chávez, in full Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías (born July 28, 1954, Sabaneta, Barinas, Venezuela—died March 5, 2013, Caracas), Venezuelan politician who was president of Venezuela (1999–2013). Chávez styled himself as the leader of the “Bolivarian Revolution,” a socialist political program for much of Latin America, named after Simón Bolívar, the South American independence hero. Although the focus of the revolution has been subject to change depending on Chavez’s goals, its key elements include nationalism, a centralized economy, and a strong military actively engaged in public projects. His ideology became known to many as simply chavismo.

somehow PS (which is an incredibly amazing misnomer isn't it?) thinks that just because politicians in England who call themselves conservative are involved in climate change/global warming initiatives, that therefore disqualifies the movement from being leftist in essence---despite all the evidence to the contrary.

and never mind the possibility (reality actually) that the aforementioned politicians themselves are not acting conservatively, at least in this particular instance.

or, conservatism is whatever the heck he wants to define it as, as opposed to its commonly accepted and understood meanings.

There are some who who are perpertually misinformed missiesFavourite.

german has admitted it wont meet its target to return CO2 output back to its 1990 levels by 2020. This was never going to happen when they shut down the nuclear powerstations before enough windfarms etc were in place. The made up the shortfasll by burning brown coal.

I fucking hate windfarms as they are unsightly and one is about to be built off of the southern UK coast, but it will give a viable source of constant power, due to it being constantly windy here.
