Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

queermunist , in California Governor Newsom signs first-in-the-nation corporate climate disclosure bills

"This product is known to emit carbon in the State of California"

And then nothing will change.

queermunist , in You need to be saving more for emergencies, thanks to climate change

Let them eat savings

queermunist , in After decades of climate deception, Shell uses Fortnite to court demographic most concerned about climate change

Love living in the cyberpunk timeline

Well, that sure is fucked up. I’m afraid we’re just starting to see the worst of this.

The_Hideous_Orgalorg ,

We're just starting to see the start of it getting worse, but it's only going to keep getting worse, and continue to do so even more quickly.

queermunist , in The Climate Fight Will Be Won in the Appliance Aisle

No it fucking won't lol

queermunist , in Biden Administration to Offer Fewest Offshore Oil and Gas Leases in History

I can think of another way to limit offshore oil and gas.

😉

queermunist , in Meet the whale that may upend the US offshore oil industry

Aw I was hoping it was a killer whale sinking vessels or something.

Don't worry, the industry won't let something like a pesky endangered species prevent them from drinking that milkshake.

queermunist , in A Known Risk: How Carbon Stored Underground Could Find Its Way Back Into the Atmosphere

Don't worry, carbon will never be stored at a meaningful scale 🙄

silence7 OP Mod ,

It's already being stored at a big enough scale to be dangerous, because Occidental pumps CO2 into oil deposits to squeeze more oil out.

queermunist ,

There's no way there's enough CO2 being pumped into oil wells to matter nearly as much as burning the oil itself.

silence7 OP Mod ,

I agree, but having that CO2 escape is still a big deal; it could suffocate people locally by displacing all the oxygen, and it's just like any other CO2 once it mixes into the atmosphere.

queermunist ,

Oh definitely - they're trying to build CO2 pipelines here in Iowa and if one of those ruptured it would basically just be a mass death event.

It's such a stupid idea. I don't think it's ever going to become something that happens on a truly large scale, but people will get hurt.

queermunist , in ‘China’s World Bank’ plans to triple climate change lending by 2030

But at what cost?

silence7 OP Mod ,

This is a decision to redirect funding which had to a large extent, been going to building fossil fuel burning facilities. The "cost" is not burning coal.

queermunist ,

But at what cost???

queermunist , in Addicted to cool | How the dream of air conditioning turned into the dark future of climate change

Regulating air conditioning is a non starter, even more than cars or meat. Absolutely no one wants their thermostat fucked with.

librechad , in AOC Says Climate Movement Must Become 'Too Big and Too Radical to Ignore'

I don't get why people support AOC, as far as I can tell after she blatantly ignored New Yorkers who are fed up with the current migrant crisis. She's not open for debate, she's just pushing her own agenda.

iByteABit ,

You'll see an actual migrant crisis in the coming years because of the climate change republicans keep ignoring

Nonameuser678 , in AOC Says Climate Movement Must Become 'Too Big and Too Radical to Ignore'
@Nonameuser678@aussie.zone avatar

In Australia we've just essentially criminalised climate protesting. Climate protestors now risk a huge fine and even jail time. A lot of people suspect it's because governments are preparing in advance for what might become a huge movement that they can't control. So they're trying to disincentivise people before shit hits the fan.

queermunist , in US Federal Emergency Management Agency rolls out climate adaptation loans for small and overlooked communities

Oh wow, loans, how generous!

silence7 OP Mod ,

It counts for something when they're at a 1% interest rate instead of market rates.

queermunist ,

It doesn't count for shit because the money should be freely given, no strings attached.

sin_free_for_00_days , in Biden says global warming topping 1.5 degrees in the next 10 to 20 years is scarier than nuclear war

Biden literally just cancelled oil and gas leases less than a week ago. I agree he hasn't done enough, but there is some validity to the old statement that perfection is often the enemy of good.

queermunist , in Shoppers say they want sustainable goods, but won't pay more

"Shoppers don't want to pay more for worse products"

Wow!
