Terrible work, everyone.
Looking at liberals who refuse to even CONSIDER putting up an actually pro-climate candidate like
liberals who refuse to even CONSIDER putting up an actually pro-climate candidate
I got a push poll from my Congresswoman, Liz Fletcher (D), accusing her biggest primary race rival of being a far-left extremist who would destroy the Houston economy with his climate alarmism. The poll also accused him of sponsoring Hamas terrorism and being weak on women’s rights because he wouldn’t negotiate on an abortion bill.
Still a little squishy on Pervez Agwan, but Fletcher’s poll did not help her case.
Political polls be like:
Do you support: (A) TERRORIST DEATH AND VIOLENCE (B) RAINBOWS AND SUNSHINE
Published results: 99% of people support ME!
Its more:
How would you feel if you knew that Candidate A loves kittens and personally donated $50000 to the SPAC, has six shelter kittens of her own, and has advanced legislation to fund a study that will guarantee all cats receive adequate housing, food, and medical care without raising taxes or increasing the national debt?
How would you feel if you knew that Candidate B once kicked a stray cat over a fence, took money from an organization that refers to cats as “feral” and “unloveable”, hates Garfield, and won’t support the CATS Acts?
Okay, thank you for your response.
Now, having heard those messages, would you feel more inclined to support Candidates A, C, b, or D?
Houston had not only like 100+ days of 100 degree weather, but we were also entering emergency water management conservation AND fire danger all over texas. It also doesn’t help that Houston has a chemical plant explosion every other month. The idea that the economy and climate are separate it’s so unhinged. Who is her opponent?
Pervez Agwan is the one to watch
thank you. I might
for the dark horse. But I fucking hate this system so much.
I see you’re complaining about climate change again.
Have you personally spent your entire life recycling everything you can, composting all organic materials you touch, eliminating all red meat intake, planting multiple trees per year, growing your own vegetable and fruit garden in the backyard of your house which you own, avoiding purchasing any plastics despite everything being packaged as such, not buying anything anything beyond your extreme basic necessities, never flying in an airplane for any reason, preferring to keep anything broken and virtually unusable instead of replacing it since repairing it is either unavailable or too expensive, and only riding ebikes or only driving Teslas to save the environment?
No? Then you’re the real problem and you can’t complain.
growing your own vegetable and fruit garden in the backyard of your house which you own,
What’s funny is I started doing that years ago less for the reduced carbon footprint of growing stuff that actually thrives in my local climate compared to buying produce from a grocer and more as a zen-finding exercise so [redacted]
gardening is cool mainly bc it encourages people to eat plants but for most foods the carbon footprint impact of growing locally is basically nothing
methane from rice
wut
edit:
Flooded rice produces methane
still wut
As in a natural wetland, flooding a rice field cuts off the oxygen supply from the atmosphere to the soil, which results in anaerobic fermentation of soil organic matter. Methane is a major end product of anaerobic fermentation. It is released from submerged soils to the atmosphere by diffusion and ebullition and through roots and stems of rice plants. Recent global estimates of emission rates from wetland rice fields range from 20 to 100 Tg/yr (IPCC 1992), which corresponds to 6-29% of the total annual anthropogenic methane emission.

oh rad thanks
technically yes but the total amount is so tiny it’s not even worth discussing
even the beef isn’t worth discussing compared to the CO2 emitted from driving and doing a bullshit job
I don’t see any cows out there drilling for oil.
All the small farmers are going out of business and the corporations are moving in with their AI powered sustainable drone systems, stop swallowing the anti farmer propaganda.
Let’s put the oil barons out of business before we put our farmers out of business.
This rhetoric is how you end up getting your daily food rations off Musky and his sustainable lab meat. Consolidation food production is not going to work out great for you average human, VC money funding grassroots left right and centre in this scene also, it’s all propaganda.
jesse what the fuck are you talking about
If you can’t comprehend what i said then the message wasn’t for you.
You think methane emissions from cattle magically reduces because they’re grown on a small farm? Our atmosphere doesn’t give a shit if the greenhouse gases came from a factory farm or an artisanal homestead, it’s all the same in the end.
it is all the same in the end
huh?
Think about what i said, it helps with understanding and stop you from falling for bullshit.
composting all organic materials you touch,
oil executives are made out of backwards chiral proteins, probably aliens
I mean you should be trying to do some of these as much as possible…
big “oh you claim to care about animals but you still eat cheese then you’re the problem” vibes, like… yes, that is actually correct?
Yeah, true that these things are good to do, but expecting all or even most of these things from working class or poor people is unrealistic at this point.
And realistically they would be better able to do these things and the environment would be better if the social economy was organized differently, which once again leads us to criticizing Capitalism as the principle issue instead of blaming individuals surviving and living within their material conditions, so I think people who blame individuals but are unwilling to support any shift in economy or politics are more to blame than people just trying to get by and doing what they can with what they are given.
Even if they did all that, they’d wipe out all that carbon-savings by having a single kid in the US.
ever wished there were a way to score free meat, do good for oppressed people, eliminate animal cruelty AND save the environment at the same time?
don’t look up “how many cops are there” and do not harvest the carbon negative pork!
Oooh saving this one, thank you
When I was young, they told me we were working on new technology and it was going to stop the climate issue.
.
When I was young, I saw polite little PSA’s in magazine’s telling me not to shower too long.
When I was young, I heard of the hydrogen car.
When I was young, I watched the crocuses grow in the spring.
When I was young, the snow fell on the correct dates.
When I was older, I realized the scope of it all.
When I was older, we were setting up the wind turbines.
When I was older, they were testing out new tech to harvest energy from currents.
When I was older, I saw my first electric car.
When I was older, we got new recycling bins.
When I was older, my neighbor threw his oil-heater out.
When I was older, I learned that cold melt water from the pole was slowing the Golf stream.
When I was older, I saw no crocuses.
When I was older, it snowed a day in May.
Today, I fear for it all.
Today, we are throwing the wind turbines in the trash after their use-life ran out.
Today, I know we don’t use solar panels cause it’d make electricity too cheap.
Today, they had posters begging us to sort correctly.
Today, I saw even more electric cars, and I knew they still ruined the climate.
Today, I looked outside, at the snow that came two weeks ago and stayed.
Today, it hit two degrees.
Will there be a tomorrow?
We are truly in
times
Still huffing that “maybe China can do geoengineering” copium so I don’t fucking kill myself
China, build the solar sunshade
My money is also on some form of arcologies as well if it gets bad enough
SimCity 2000 let’s goooooooo.
We’re going to turn the sky white with artificial clouds to block out the sun because that’s the stupidest and easiest thing to do.
We’ll still hit 4 degrees C, but we also won’t have a blue sky anymore.
And then fossil fuel companies will use it as an excuse to keep fucking the planet. Changing the albedo with clouds is at best a delay of the inevitable.
wrongshway erB will unironically do the mayocide
then there will at least be a lot of habitable land in the north
I will not flesh this out further, you have to read into it
wrongshway erB
Is that some kind of pig-latin or code that we’re supposed to “read into”? or is one of us having a stroke?
I can’t tell you or it won’t happen
Weird bit.
Yeah, it’s time to start making apologies for the lack of terror
to the big oil capitalists
Finally, someone speaking some sense.
I’m sure the sun will move away from us any day now and we can go back to normal
Putting sulfates in the atmosphere to dim the sun
Putting a big sunshade between the Earth and the Sun
Pushing the Earth further away
Patrick Star for president
Why did I think that was Todd Howard at first? It makes no sense.
My Dragonborn Shouts Don’t Work Because My Mouth Despawned
Because Todd Howard games are perfectly balanced with no exploits whatsoever. We should put him in charge of the earth.
Radiant quests
please god can we just start killing the people responsible before we turn our home into fucking venus
libs are too brainwashed
fuck 'em. we don’t need them for this part.
think reading this made me dissociate
Welp, line goes up…
My heart yearns for The Terror.
Comrades, this scares me.
every day I get closer to
Yeah but have you considered the oil industry shareholder profits?
It’s been swell Holocene, hope whatever comes next does a better job than us…
Anyone else notice the USDA Growing zones have shifted a bunch too?
Some guy in Ohio noted that his area used to be 4b and is now 7b which is warm enough to grow limes. In the West Coast the change has been a creation of shitloads of microclimates all over the damn place.
The USDA actually updated their zone map the other day to account for this. Some regions saw significant changes.
