Carbon is causing global warming. We know how to fix global warming because we are causing it, we just have to stop doing it.

This article is about global cooling which is bizarre and not something we expected would be happening. We haven’t got a clue why it’s doing that. It maybe natural, or it maybe it’s something we’ve done in a complicated way, but we don’t know so we don’t know how to fix it.

If this is just an ice age why may as well burn all the coal now to try and stave it off.

Although in reality I think this needs a lot more research before we do anything because this announcement makes no sense within our current understanding of the environmental science.

Yeah it’s a big that needs looking at.

Also try changing your volume.

It seems to be a standard at the moment. Look at the UK conservatives. Their policies and rhetoric of become increasingly fascist over the last 15 years. But boy do they blow a fuse if you point it out.

The big difference being they don’t have a big dedicated voter base.
It’s where does it in the US they do have one.

That’s what pinch points are for. I have no idea what the French call them but they are these things.

The attitude is odd.

For example I’d love to buy an electric car but they’re just far too expensive for me to be able to afford. I need something, so I get a cheap and 2nd hand car. Inevitably that is an ICE because even second-hand electrics are hugely expensive. Yet somehow I’m the one targeted?

Why are they not targeting the people who are actually the problem rather than irritating the general public who broadly agree with them in principle who but lack the ability to really do anything effective.

I don’t think it is though, it’s just you being cynical and somehow trying to turn that into a movement.

I had one that did that.

Also a rescue. All affection had to be on her terms as she was a strong independent cat who needed no human. But if we wanted to feed her, and give her a comfortable place to sleep, that was acceptable I guess.

Will they say they’re targeting SUVs

My problem with that is if you go and look up SUVs online you’ll find that everything from actual suvs right down to estate cars are considered to be SUVs these days.

Admittedly they have said before that they’re not particularly interested in trying to regulate open source projects. So it’s not so bad.
