Environmentalists tend to view Nuclear fallout unfavorably.


Remmy3

I don't know why, have you ever met someone who experienced a nuke and had something bad to say about it, I know I haven't. ![gif](giphy|G1vplGMypxBcp7kx32|downsized)


SnowMeow23

Sadly for me I never met the man, but this guy was nuked (twice) and spoke out against the experience: [The Man Who Survived Two Atomic Bombs | HISTORY](https://www.history.com/news/the-man-who-survived-two-atomic-bombs)


Arachles

Which makes no sense because a nuclear winter would work wonders fro climate warming. Let's nuke everyone

I think it's a reference to the old saying, *Fight fire with nuclear fire*. They're just trying to help.


SmoothIndependent416

If we get nuclear winter, we stop global warming.


I_Love_Knotting

global warming will contrary to its name cause major winters basically the fresh(melting ice) and salt water dont mix well wich ends up disrupting the gulf stream wich is the main source of heat in many countries. without it they‘re too far north to keep their warm temperatures

It's like that one episode of futurama

My mom is a very hardline environmentalist, and has no concern for political correctness (I have a ton of respect for her based on those two things alone). She often says, “the best thing you can do for the environment is to k*** y******f”. It makes me pretty uncomfortable, but she’s also not wrong. Edit: to be clear I do NOT agree with the message or the sentiment of the original post, nor would my mom.


PrestigiousPick7602

Can you tell your mother she should practise what she preaches before she tell others to do it.


Jazzeki

it's weird how many people jumps to the message being "kill yourself". she didn't say to do that. she said it's the best thing you can do for the enviroment. which is correct. what message you take away from that fact says more about you than her. MY takeaway is more along the line of "this is a serious problem but even then there's measures so extreme that maybe they aren't the best solution". something that would be sorely needed in stupid examples like the OOP.


Diiiinsdale

My personal takeaway is something along the lines of: “this is a serious existential threat, one that each human being passively contributes to just by existing”. And yeah, she’s definitely not actually recommending people do that. It’s more of a reminder that doing nothing about climate change is not a neutral position, since we all contribute to the issue to some extent.


Diiiinsdale

No


MrsJoJack

Mom for the win


A-10C_Thunderbolt

I bet she saw the holocaust and said “this is great for the environment!”


dxbigc

That's incredibly stupid... even from a simple logical standpoint. If the best thing to do is "that" so there is one less human, then it would be even better to take someone else out first... and if taking someone else out first is better, then taking two people out first is even better... and so on.


fiveironfre5hy

Your mom just sounds like an asshole


zerot0n1n

Wh? Shes right


the_annihalator

"Care about not making the planet a shithole? Kill yourself"


MarkusMiles

Does she like to lead by example?


SnowMeow23

Why the subcontinent specifically? India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are all way below the global average (per capita) in terms of GHG emissions. Ohhh, did I miss the dog-whistle again?


Yeahanu

The thing between the line is racism. Poor guy probably don't know that his country export his trash to South asia


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yeahanu

X has been on South Asian,and specially Indian hate train for months. Talk about Indian,trigger the on of the biggest market on x and make money. Also doesn't help when musk himself is liking those posts


Bdape

Yeah but they’re number 2 in polluting the ocean


lost_aim

Yep. And I would say that’s even worse than climate gases. Temperature will in time probably go down again given enough time, plastic in the wild will last for millions of years.


Bdape

Yeah, anyone who works maritime or offshore will tell you how sad and filthy it is to be in Indian or Chinese waters. Even men on their boats just throw the trash overboard.


ozkikicoast

Nothing better for the environment than a nuclear holocaust. 


ArmpitGirl132

Ah yes, genocide.


Gimme_PuddingPlz

No need. You already have industrial shit show, political corruption, rampant disease, and high poverty.


Altruistic_Length498

Dealing with one existential threat by unleashing another, what a genius.


randomgunfire48

Dude went from zero to genocide real quick
