You believe that prioritizing economic growth and human progress will lead to a more prosperous and advanced society.
Anti-environmentalism is a political ideology that opposes environmentalism and challenges the scientific consensus on the urgency of addressing climate change. This ideology often prioritizes economic growth, industrial development, and personal freedoms over environmental protection. Anti-environmentalists typically argue that environmental regulations are unnecessary, overly restrictive, or even harmful to economic prosperity. They often downplay the severity of environmental issues or deny the human role in climate change.
The roots of anti-environmentalism can be traced back to…

Would you be at ease with the notion that the natural beauty you enjoy may not be around for your children to see?
@9JX47KR2mos2MO
I feel as though climate change is a natural occurrence and feel as though people are overdramatic when they say everything is going to end in a few years. We've been told here in Philly that global warming is a serious threat, yet we just got the most snow we've seen in my lifetime.
@9JYB3ZJ2mos2MO
it's important to distinguish between weather and climate. Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions in a specific place at a specific time, such as a heavy snowfall in Philadelphia. Climate, on the other hand, refers to the long-term average of weather patterns over an extended period, typically at least 30 years. A single snowy season in Philly does not contradict the trend of global warming; in fact, climate change can lead to more extreme weather events, including heavier snowfalls in certain regions due to the increased moisture in the atmosphere as the air warms. The scie… Read more

The changes may seem small, but if flowers growing in Antarctica isn't enough evidence that climate change is real, then look at how it would affect the ecosystem of animals, and see how many would die if the world's temperature raised only 5 degrees.
@9JX5R5M2mos2MO
Scientific studies have been done and the Earth has been polluted past repair. The Earth is slowly warming, and although certain parts of Earth may have a cold front for the winter, overall, the annual temperatures are rising.
@9JY38YJ2mos2MO
it's gonna continue to get worse unless you do something about it, just because it isn't affecting you currently doesn't mean it won't at all.
I would not be at ease, nature deserves to be here just like the rest of us.
@9KCQ8XC2mos2MO
I feel that our future generations should be able to experience the same things we once did like national parks.
@9K632762mos2MO
The idea that there are animals I grew up reading about that are going to go extinct in a few years is scary
@9KCVR2NPeace and Freedom2mos2MO
I don't think it's healthy for children to grow up in a purely artificial environment is healthy. Children being able to go outside and enjoy the sun, grass, flowers, rocks, etc is an essential part of growing I feel. Playing outside made room for the use of imagination among children. I think sticking them to technology is wrong.
@9KCS9K72mos2MO
there is only one planet, and if we are going to populate it it is our responsibility to keep it alive. it is unfair to future generations to birth them into a doomed planet, humanity will suffer health consequences related to pollution that may lower their life span, lower their immune systems, and impact the development of their bodies. its hard to be comfortable with the thought of actively allowing things to get worse for them.
@9K4WCL42mos2MO
Yes because it will always be around the problem isn’t with pollution the problem is with building thats the issue
@9K62SXK2mos2MO
Numerous studies have shown that the pollution we admit into the environment plays a direct hand in our declining ecosystem.
@9K5PKFM2mos2MO
There are ways to build sustainably and decrease our impact on the enviornment. There's no justification for not changing practices to be more enviornmentally friendly.
@9K4ZVM8Peace and Freedom2mos2MO
That doesn't necessarily have to be the case because we can really change now and have a future where pollution might not be a thing.
I don't believe that the source of destruction of natural beauty is relevant; the fact that it should be protected is still the same.
i would be very disappointed if my children, regardless of if i have any, wolud not beable to see the nature and beauty i was able to.
@9KPCP6Y2mos2MO
the future is unknown, maybe it will be more beautiful, maybe the beauty we see now is on another unexplored planet in the galaxy. the future of beauty in nature if progressed for the better to me would be so much more then now.
@9KPCCZW 2mos2MO
nature is one of my favorite things and i would hate for younger generations to not be able to see the beauty of the earth
@9KPHQ8F2mos2MO
I think that certain lands need to be protected, but there are national parks that are already being protected.
@9KPD3XH2mos2MO
We need to preserve the natural beauty of the earth, and in fact, add more back from what we have destroyed. We need to allow indigenous peoples to be the stewards of the land and guide us.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Do you believe it's fair for future generations to inherit a damaged planet for the sake of our current economic growth?
@9H7TQYJ5mos5MO
It's absolutely not fair that our future generations have to inherit such a damaged planet for the sake our economic growth. We need to save our planet before we run out of resources and a healthy place to live because when it's too late, money won't be able to fix the environment.
@9H7NW4T5mos5MO
I don't think it's fair, but at the same time, I also think the world isn't as bad off as people portray it, and a lot of the damage is hyped up to garner support.
@9HB8LTB5mos5MO
No, it is unfair to expect the next generation to clean up the mess that these already profiting businesses left for them. Businesses should be held accountable for the environmental damage they are doing and should be regulated to ensure they are staying aligned with environmentally friendly policies.
@9H8NCJ75mos5MO
I think it's very unfair that future generations will have to deal with the damaged planet that the generations before have caused without fixing it. I believe we should even care a lot more about helping our planet than we do because you won't even be able to continue economic growth if the planet isn't healthy.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
What would your reaction be if popular vacation spots could no longer be visited due to environmental neglect?
@9JFD6JN3mos3MO
I don't know but how will this affect LeBron's legacy.
@9JFDPSH3mos3MO
It would probably be for the best depending on how healthy or disgusting the place is.
@9JFDF3R3mos3MO
I would probably be sad. Because I love nature so much, that not being able to go and see it in person anymore, is awful.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How would you feel if you had to choose between a high-paying job that harms the environment and a lower-paying job that helps protect it?
@9JB5DH43mos3MO
Money is critical in our country, but I believe a better environment will have longer effects than any money ever will. I would rather take a job that payed lower so the environment would be cleaner.
@9JB6FSGWomen’s Equality3mos3MO
Im not really sure, but I probably would take the higher paying job.
@9JB62TZ3mos3MO
In the united states I would choose the higher paying position because I believe that there are a lot of other countries that need to set environment standards before we start in the US. I also think it depends on the severity of the harm to the environment.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What personal sacrifices are you willing to make today for the well-being of the Earth's future?
@9HCSWVY5mos5MO
Optimize my energy consumption: I can be continuously trained and updated to operate more efficiently, reducing the amount of energy needed to run me. This can potentially lower the environmental impact of data centers.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How would it make you feel to know that animal species are going extinct due to human progress; is that a price worth paying?
Animal species should not be going extinct over human contributions. Human's should be more mindful of the world.
@9H9GKJ65mos5MO
No, it isn't. And steps should be prevented to stop that, but it's alright for humans to proceed.
@9H9FX6T5mos5MO
I know it is happening and it makes me sad. We should protect our earth, nature, and environment at all costs.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How does the idea of technological advancements potentially solving future environmental problems make you feel about current environmental policies?
@9HD2SK85mos5MO
That they current politics are dumb because solutions are available.
@9HD2S2G5mos5MO
current environmental practises are the very best practices in the world and the world will never go bad because they are so good, hail president biden and the biden administration. I pledge to the biden administration loyalty and care about that white joe.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Imagine a world with fewer environmental regulations; does that prospect excite or concern you?
@9H9GLLW 5mos5MO
It highly concerns me. The environmental issue is one that grows exponentially every second. People by nature are greedy and at the current moment there just is not enough benefit to doing the harder thing—which is 'going green'. Regardless of any economic issue it may cause it's better to have economic issues than mass extinction.
@9H9DM545mos5MO
Cars would run better and cost less to repair and maintain.
