Except that he's the one who packed the court, he'll do it more if elected, and they'll be his dutiful toadies.

More future Reform candidates there.

futatorius , to Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics. in China's state subsidies in green technologies significantly higher than those in EU and OECD countries, distorting competition, researchers say

It'd be interesting to know how much of that is a mercantilist attempt to capture market share in other countries (i.e., dumping) and how much is reflective of a sincere effort by the Chinese government to address the climate crisis.

I suspect it's the former, since alongside China's renewables investment, China's emissions of greenhouse gases continue to grow, as does its consumption of coal.

This is likely to become an issue with climate modeling as well, as interested parties attempt to poison the discourse with fake analysis and phony effects models. Perhaps, with the banks, the Fed should require the use of open, peer-reviewed models and reject the use of any closed-source model.

So they've moved past denial to bargaining?

One of the low-hanging fruit in combating climate change is to shut down all the golf courses.

futatorius , to Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics. in The US Supreme Court agreed on Monday to consider reviving a critical approval for a railroad project that would carry crude oil and boost fossil fuel production in rural eastern Utah.

They're all about immanentizing the eschaton.

futatorius , to Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics. in There are better ways to protest climate change than spray painting Stonehenge [with easily removed corn starch] | Just Stop Oil activists could take a page from the civil rights movement, experts say

There is no one universally right way to do activism.

There are, however, many ways that are demonstrably wrong.

If you're acting in a way that gives rise to credible speculation that you're secretly funded by Big Oil, maybe it's worth considering the possibility that you're a counterproductive cosplaying fool.

We need a diversity of tactics.

Running unarmed at a machine-gun nest is a tactic. But a diversity of tactics is only a good thing when those tactics actually work.

Markets don't wait for official announcements. They tend to react to facts, unlike politicians, since their money's at risk.

Individual action's nice. It won't be nearly enough. We need to organize and to overcome massive resistance.

Yead, I agree. I'd rather take a half-step forward than two steps back. A full step would be nicer yet, but we can't let the best be the enemy of the almost good enough.
