    Those things you mentioned are either way too late and worthless or even harmful to the environment.

    We cant have this many cars and be environmentally friendly, even if they are all electric. The change we need is not the change they are selling us.

    American dairy is a tiny drop in the ocean of emitted carbon and they’ll stop… in 25 years

    Carbon capture is bullshit technology like solar roadways and there is no way in hell it will catch up to what we emit daily in the next century. Go to a coal powered plant and look at the mountain of coal that lasts them maybe a month. Now imagine sucking all this coal back out of the air in the same amount of time… congrats, you’ve just offset one rural power plant.

    There is already no way for us to save the climate we know and keep something that even remotely resembles our current way of life. We are long way away from the point where we should’ve started braking and we keep pretending that opening the windows will slow us down enough to not hit the wall.

      @riodoro1 @blanketswithsmallpox @climate

      They do fabricate a lot of BS to deflect the attention away from the problem. Burning fuel!

      Reduction via energy efficiency & switching over to electricity, via wind, solar, water (wave, tidal, hydro) & thermal is right direction of travel. So yea, electric public transport, instead of private cars, generally does the same task, with far less resources (inc. power demands)
