Except that when companies can't make money they adapt by buying politicians to mandate use of their dirty product and outlawing alternatives. Voting with your wallet only goes so far, whereas taking out one CEO has managed to affect the behavior of an entire class. Imagine if they were hunted at the rate of american schoolkids.
Upvoted for freetube link, Chomsky is also pretty on point most of the time
bbc bringing the hard hitting investigative climate updates again
Dunkelflaute sounds like a ridiculous pastry. Agree with summary that storage is key in a clean generation system, but that is obvious. Also NYT is shit.
There's also a very uncool colonial system involved where many small growers are not allowed to sell or export thier coffee crop without jumping through exploitative regulatory hoops that increase the cost at every step. Not to discount the climate impact on the crops. The added cost comes down to greed in both cases - the ones taking advantage of farmers developing countries and marking up the product more and more and the greed of people profitmaxxing regardless of causing and making the climate crisis worse.
The idea of the family is so pernicious when it is used to justify abuse and avoiding responsibility and consequences of bad behavior. Cutting people off when they're consistently being harmful assholes shouldn't be contigent upon blood relation or any other kind of personal or group association and all the people selling "family is forever" or "traditional family values" are doing it because they themselves are the abusive asshole that doesn't want to be cut out
from what i understand it's moving to an even hotter place either next or in the next few years
I would think the Muslim world would be getting more interested in climate discussions with temps during Hajj being lethal (1200 deaths this year alone)
i'm a little late to this but consider adding beans, and you can have a "three sisters" garden - a synergistic planting where each helps the others and benefits the soil
we did elect gore, he didn't have the heart to fight for it
moving soon and I hope the new neighbors aren't like that :P (the homophobes, i meant - the ones in the article souns amazing)
"a state appeals court has indicated it will uphold rules limiting the construction of sea walls along the coast." oh thank fuck
only if they see profit in it, or a way to oppress marginalized populations & women
The article's pretty optimistic. It's predicting a move away from "reducing emissions" messaging to "ending fossil fuels" next year. It thinks that's going to be more effective, and I hope so but I don't see a reason why it will be.
these seem like they'd be great for a UPS, or even home battery and wind/solar
that's cool. might be super effective to throw stuff up like that around outside lands while it's on, if you're able to plan that far ahead. is this right in front of mozilla & xitter? lol
Looked it up just now, and it seems they had plans to collaborate but abandoned them a couple years ago. I'll have to correct hubs next time it comes up.
