Yes, dangerous. If you havenāt already discovered Prof. Eliot Jacobson, can I introduce you to him, he provides easy to understand charts and graphs and near daily commentary on global heating, ocean temperatures, polar ice melts, CO2 concentrationsš š¤

Iām not expecting a cataclysmic collapse Rainforest, just a steady move towards chaos and anarchy as human and eco systems breakdown.
But if youāre looking for solace, then check out Nate Hagens āThe Great Simplificationā one of its mission statements is āBend not breakāš¤

By the way Rainforest Iām okay.
Water is another one of those tipping points in the unfolding poly and meta-crisis.

Admire your belief Robert.
Iām by no means promoting FREE FINITE Flammable Fossils, but Iād have to ignore the facts on REbuildables, sorry, Renewables contribution, but in the endš

Globally only ~20% of energy is supplied in the form of electricity, and only ~2% of that is provided by REbuildables/Alternative Energy of which Nuclear Power is a fraction of that, leaving ~80% still reliant on FREE FINITE Flammable Fossilsā¦šš¤

āand should be screamed from the rooftopsā

Robert if you meme pic reflects your age Iām assuming youāre over 40, in which case a heating planet, depleting energy resources, oil based plastic pollution and environmental degradation, may not be of concern to you.

Iām sure you know this Robert, the blades are constructed from fibreglass, resin, and balsa wood. The fibreglass is fairly inert but epoxy resin and balsa wood are flammable. But I was to a degree being cynical thinking towards when Oilās run out. But whatever they do present a pollution problemš¤
comment in response to

Would those be underground mines, or open pit-mines āRobertā because WT blades may become a source of energy in times to come, so best to keep them easily accessible, just in case.
Meanwhile, donāt forget your medical checkups, you just donāt know whatās in dustš¤

And to add to that not one single, thatās right not one single piece of REbuildableās technology has been produced without FFFFās, and thereās absolutely no sign that is going to changeš¤
comment in response to

Plus youāre fighting a loosing battle, thereās no appreciable sign that REbuildables have made any gains in stopping the burning of FREE FINITE Flammable Fossils (FFFFās). Net Zero CO2 will not stop the planet continuing to heat, certainly within anyone alive todays lifetime.
comment in response to

Recycling particularly when coupled with the word sustainable, is just Greenwashing, but then those with cognitive dissonance would not recognise that.
We could argue ClimateHope about recycling WT blades untill the cows come home, but at the end of the day the environment is the looser.

In four words: Do not believe it.
Dioxins can negatively impact the nervous system, for years they have been used in flame retardants, pillows and mattresses are sprayed/dipped in it.
