I get where you’re coming from but a yoyo forum isn’t gonna change global policy and habits. It would be like a single person recycling. In the end the dump is probably just mixing the bins downstream anyway because it’s not cost effective to recycle plastic when plastic is so cheap to make. Whole community could get radicalized and sort and recycle but the entire system is the issue and as long as we are fracking the Texas flats to the point plastic precursor is so available it’s more effective to burn off than sell it you can’t even compete at any real level on reclaiming used plastics… Same concept with shopping all of the yoyo community could reform our ways but the capitalist system will simply keep going regardless with other things. It’s a tiny tiny cog in a much much larger set of issues. All that to say it’s cold right now and I’m gonna go find fluffy socks to put on. ---

Last couple winters here in southern Michigan have been fairly mild, bar a day here or there where we got hammered. This winter has been a bit colder and snowier. Hit -7F last week and it hasn’t really stopped snowing since Christmas 😃 IMO if the climate alarmist crowd were actually serious, we’d be talking about nuclear more, but we aren’t. You’re just supposed to eat bean steaks and cricket burgers instead.

“Climate change” not global warming. The poles are warming but the way that affects the rest of the earth is much more complex. “There’s clearly this strong relationship between stretched vortex events and extreme winter weather here in the US,” Cohen said. He said that during the period of rapid Arctic climate change, the polar vortex has become more stretched and variable, raising the risk of bouts of severe winter weather in the mid-latitudes, including the US, Europe and parts of Asia” [https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/22/climate/colder-winter-snow-climate-change#:\~:text=He%20said%20that%20during%20the,Europe%20and%20parts%20of%20Asia](https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/22/climate/colder-winter-snow-climate-change#:%5C~:text=He%20said%20that%20during%20the,Europe%20and%20parts%20of%20Asia). ---

By 2024, 18.6% of the USA’s energy was generated by nuclear power plants: [https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/electricity/electricity-in-the-us.php](https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/electricity/electricity-in-the-us.php) There are even 3 nuclear power plants in Michigan: [https://www.michigan.gov/miready/be-informed/nuclear-power](https://www.michigan.gov/miready/be-informed/nuclear-power) Nuclear energy has a few caveats though… 1. The power plants take years to build. 2. By the time they are partially finished, more efficient designs have usually been devised, making the plant obsolete before it’s completed. 3. Due to points 1. and 2., investing in nuclear kinda energy sucks. > [@LinksLegionaire](#): > > Remember when we were going to enter a new ice age? > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/2/0/c2077a31f08a1161a1cc2b4e9c2dd2a2b9a47a0d.jpeg) It would’ve been in the next 11,000 years, so as a species sure, but because of humans that ice age has been delayed substantially: [Human-caused emissions have delayed Earth’s next ice age, study says.

You’re looking at this the wrong way. There are many things that are already too late to fix now, and some other things that could still go back to normal if we started making big changes tomorrow. Year by year, there will be less of the earth-that-was that can still save, but that doesn’t mean we should just give up. Humans are very good at putting off dealing with problems that they can’t see the immediate effects of, but it’s not a healthy desire. ---

If we had similar laws and policy to that of our EU counterparts we could build nuclear facilities significantly cheaper and faster but there’s no appetite in that.

There is one underlying theme to all of these environmental scares: the US economy needs to use less energy and consume less. Translation: others need to slow down the US economy so that their economies can keep pace. This inevitably is universally-supported by Europe as well as any small country looking for a handout. Ice ages, Peak Oil, holes in the Ozone, global warming and now the equally undefined: climate change; they are all the same. Use less resources and handout money to other countries who are not being asked to do the same. Yes there Earth is undergoing ‘climate change’. It has been doing so since the planet acquired an atmosphere. ---
