The environment, too. The planet is collapsing, but because it isn’t a televised sport, we don’t see it. Puts people being off being happy and buying things, if we saw what is happening and how rapidly it’s getting worse.
We can’t keep acting as though all that matters is more entertainment in our lives.
The entertainment being provided so we will buy lifestyles is not sustainable. We all know it.
Absolutely, some of the flights you hear about these teams taking are so pitifully short its mental.
How is this related to this post at all lmfao.
Football players have crossed the limits of what they can handle. We can see that because we watch them play.
The planet has also crossed the limits of what it can handle, but most people are trying to ignore it, and keep eating meat when they like, flying when they like, and consuming as much as they like.
Climate change pollution keeps rising, every year, despite all the green energy infrastructure that’s been built. People don’t see the collapse of our survivable environment, like they see footballers collapsing because they’ve been overplayed.
Like with Qatar and the Saudis taking over the World Cup, the next COP talks on how to deal with climate change have been taken over by the USE so that they can make sure we aren’t doing what we need to do and deal with their business model.
Thought I’d remind everyone that a more important situation is also passing what it can handle. If we don’t reduce consumption seriously, now, all the scientists are saying we face disaster.
If we don’t stop being ‘entertained’ by the expansion of consumption created by the money spent by oil states, we will be living on a planet that we can’t survive on.
Hope that’s explained it to you.
You're way to pesismistic. Europe is geographically the least affected area by climate change. Its also the place reducing emissions the most. Ironically funded by european tax, which football contributes to.
Go speak to the rest of the world and not on a european football competition post. Because they are the ones that will suffer, and we're the ones reducing emissions.
Not true in the slightest. Humans have suffered through far more dramatic climate shifts than even worst case models - whilst being significantly less technologically able. There is 0 risk we cannot survive on this planet in europe.
Now go back to watching football, might cheer you up. No point being depressed.
they are just saying the amount of plane rides teams do is bad for the planet too, is that really difficult to understand lol
If it was only teams it would be okay. But for big clubs you have thousands of travelling fans as well
Hopefully, many of those travel by train or bus and don't use planes but yeah, cars suck as well.
Competitions = Money = Tax = Theoretically more ability to invest in green infrastructure.
A lot of emissions is a money issue. Europe for example is over the curve and reducing emissions. Unfortunately the rest of the world got richer and worldwide emissions keep going up.
However I hate this stupid argument. Because its a drop of water in an ocean. Honestly not worth the argument.
What?
Yup. The whole world can't sustain our habits in the first world. Gotta be some sort of systemic comprehensive change otherwise our children will inherit an alien planet
