Is Ukraine destroying the earth?

Debates


Ukraine is bombing oil refineries in Russia. Is that causing global warming? If so, is the Ukraine war destroying the earth? I am not saying it is, but a lot of democrats seem to think global warming is destroying the planet. Do democrats hate Russia more than they love the earth?

If war is causing global warming and Ukraine is increasing the risk of a nuclear war which would be even worse why is the western world supporting Ukraine in a war that could destroy the planet? Isn't it time for democrats to admit they don't really believe their own rhetoric about global warming alarmism?

Bombing oil refineries doesn't cause global warming? Explain this so you don't look like an idiot. And while you are at it explain how bombing nuclear power plants is not bad for the environment.

Destroying the planet to save Ukraine. Great plan. What planet is Ukraine on? Oh yeah. This one.

We sure have a LOT of people on this forum who live the irony every day.

You and your BS media sources. Who's the idiot? What a gullible moron.

Last I checked, this war was STILL Russia's fault.

So when Hussein hit the oil fields in Kuwait, setting fire to 700 oil wells which burned for MONTHS.
So Ukraine did worse than that?
And BTW, IT IS A FKING WAR YOU IDIOT.
You remember maybe the part where Putin attacked Ukraine for no reason except to expand his territory, go about rebuilding the soviet empire, make it like that again. Brother against brother, you know the routine.....

yes, all carbon burning should be avoided.

I strongly assume thatceasing the "special military operation" would save much more carbon dioxide emissions than pursuing them. How do you feel about that?

Slide rules. That is a museum piece now🙂 But back in the day, like I was in electronic classes at Palomar College, that was all we had, slide rules. Its funny how the slide rule advanced over the centuries, I remember one, circular shape that put the length of the slide rule several turns around so the length would be several times that of a regular slide rule where longer rule=more accurate readings.
I remember seeing one at Bell Labs, 50 foot long slide rule, I guess you get FOUR digits accuracy V 3 normally🙂

Wow.

I remember learning the basics (just arithmetic, no higher functions) of slide rules way back in the day. This was after they became antiques. I had that one weird math teacher who pulled them out one day and blew our minds.

Your caveat, "I am not saying it is," renders your entire thread meaningless.

How large is the Russian army compared to the Ukranian army?

Now, if you were fighting these odds… what would you be doing?

You would have been blown away by that 50 foot slide rule🙂 Wonder what math you could use to get the best readings off such a slide rule and how theoretically it could be in terms of accuracy if you made a digital version of a slide rule one kilometer long, how many digits of accuracy could you get with that Slide rule?

The scientists argue now that the Ukrainian war indeed has a grave impact on Earth's ecosystem.

Whether it remarkably contributes to global warming, I do not know.

Concerning Ukraine's behaviour towards nuclear power stations, I believe it is state-sponsored nuclear terrorism.

Concerning Ukraine's military and political intentions, I do not believe Ukraine is intending to destroy the Earth. However, I do believe that Ukraine's leadership is trying to escalate the local war and to provoke a Russia/NATO war in Europe.

They hope it will help them in their fight against the Russian invasion.

However, I regard such a politics as immoral.
Moreover, I do not believe WW3 would help Ukraine. What they would achieve is the following: Ukraine would be completely ruined, the Western part of Russia would be completely or partly ruined, and Europe would suffer grave consequences.

I have my opinion that, for the purpose of self-defence, Ukraine is using such methods that it is wrong to send weapons and ammunition to Ukraine. In any case, it is wrong to send attack weapons to such a country with such a leadership.

However, Western countries should provide considerable humanitarian help.

Kuwait was slant drilling and stealing Iraq's oil. Putin prevented Ukraine from becoming a NATO member by invading so there was another reason. But your whataboutism is noted.

WHATABOUT? What planet do you come from again? You never saw the video's of the Kuwait oil wells ablaze for MONTHS spewing really BAD crap into the atmosphere, You really think that is somehow nothing compared to Ukraine hitting a refinery?
Can you tell me WHY Kuwait wells burned for MONTHS? I doubt you will answer that one even if you know.
