They would be pleased to know that now, 40 years later, we are releasing record amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. #progress…

Reddit has the same issue. People will post an article in like 6, somewhat related subreddits and the feed would be quite repetitive.

Probably via some attempt to force everyone to verify who they are online by providing their identification documents. It will probably be managed by some company specialized in handling that data, and of course willing to share the data with police and other gov organizations. Data that will be used to track citizens.

Just another endless battle to keep net neutrality alive.

As someone who does R&D testing on plastics that are used in medical devices, I have some insight. Of course the type of plastic matters, but all plastics use carcinogenic chemicals during the manufacturing/extrusion process.

To make most plastic, a polymer resin is mixed with additives such as solvents, plasticizers, and stabilizers at high temperatures. Ideally, you want the additives to evaporate out during production so that you’re left with just the newly formed plastic.

But some of these additives get trapped in tiny air pockets between polymer chains. When they’re reheated, the polymer chains relax and release the volatile, carcinogenic additives into the air.

This is likely where the toxicity is coming from, not the polymer chain itself. So regardless of the type of plastic used, reheating the polymer during 3D printing will release some volatile additives.

Gold Rush = high demand = invest in (aka buy) shovels

Same thing, no?

• During/after natural disaster, buy cheap land. Probably works during an economic crash too.

• Protests & Riots happening? Invest in glass companies

• Cloudy & rainy every day? Sell coffee (looking at you PNW)

• War happening? Just sell bombs! (see USA) This one is particular good cause you can always start another war. It’s just smart business!

Seems about right. Profit over people, right?..

4-5 year prison sentence for planning a roadblock… I’ve seen child sex offenders get smaller sentences.

It was probably because the munitions didn’t fit in the cargo plane with the fighter jets and armored vehicles that were due to be shipped.

Hopefully it’s just a minor delay and we can get back to killing children soon 🤞

Hahaha exactly 😂😂

I still don’t get the reasoning behind these sort of geo engineering projects. Let’s say, best case scenario, it works wonders and cools the planet significantly.

The fact that we found a “solution” to the warming temperatures will justify the actions if the corporations pumping tons of CO2 and methane into the atmosphere. If anything, it will encourage them to pollute more, as there is now a way to solve the problem.

De-growth is the only way to actually solve the problem. But since it’s not profitable, it won’t happen under the current economic system.

I remember reading a study from Japan a few years ago. It related the country’s percent GDP investment in renewables vs power consumption of the population over time. The conclusion was, that the more GDP they invested in renewable power generation, the more overall power was available, which the population consumed.

Old power sources didn’t go away. There is just another source available. It’s an addictive effect, not a replacement of power sources.

I tried searching for the article again a few months later, but I couldn’t find it… I wouldn’t be surprised if it was removed or hidden, considering it is objective evidence against being able to buy our way of this problem.

I’m 30 and I literally have 2 electric skateboards lol

Global Agenda

Progress… We should keep using the same methods to stop fossil fuel companies. That’ll show em

Same. I consider them a marvel of engineering and an extremely useful tool. But, like any tool, they can be used incorrectly and cause damage.

That’s-a-me!

“Lawyers are responsible”

They’re responsible for the lax climate regulations. They are also responsible for putting more strict regulations in place.

It will never be enough…
