No gods, no masters.
It’s even worse. The places that sell carbon offsets are often poorer parts of the world. The selling is essentially a privatization of carbon sinks. As is tradition, these privatizations are very under-priced. Worse still, as they’re selling carbon sinks, they will not have those carbon sinks for themselves in the future if they choose to “develop” and emit more GHGs… they’ll have to buy carbon credits from some other fools and the prices are not likely to be lower.
It’s all very silly.

The article is paywalled, so good luck with it. Isn’t “Lemon de” on the conservative carbrain side?
And, yes, speed limits need to be enforced somehow for all motorized vehicles within their contexts. Sidewalks are not for riding fast and bike paths aren’t for riding fast either. Speed limiters are most definitely needed, as is a lot of education. Civilization is 100% not ready for “sharable” scooters either.
The great filter is here. Time to see if this global civilization and shrink its ego enough to fit through it.

When it comes to aviation in general — something only a small share of the world’s population takes part in — it contributes roughly 2.5 per cent of all CO2 emissions and has thus far contributed to roughly four per cent of global warming.
haha
“Ignore the 892 Mt CO2, focus on the 15.6 Mt CO2!”
(from the paper https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-024-01775-z )

Global commercial aviation is estimated to have emitted 892–936 Mt carbon dioxide (CO2) in 20191,2,3 and is responsible for about 4% of global net anthropogenic effective radiative forcing4,5.

End suburbia, install more cafeterias (like schools) to provide good food at a good price. Create schools and some decent incentives to get people to learn to cook.

Holy shit, that’s some impressive conservative bullshit!
Breivik is OPENLY a ‘Cultural’ Christian, he made his reasons very clear. He wrote a damn manifesto, here’s an analysis of it:
Christian Terror in Europe? The Bible in Anders Behring Breivik’s Manifesto
In the attempts to understand the ideology underpinning the terror attack in Norway 22nd July 2011, and the growth of far-right extremism in Europe more generally, Christianity and the uses of the Bible are a largely neglected feature. In this article, I examine the way in which the Bible is used in Anders Behring Breivik’s manifesto, arguing that this provides an important example of the role of Christianity in far-right discourse. I show that the Bible functions as a legitimating device, glossing violence as defense of a Christian Europe; as a motivational instrument, positing God as a fellow fighter; and, as an origin for Europe. The Bible is situated in a pre-modern state where its signifying powers are policed. At the same time, it is wrenched out of this solidified framework, cut up and pasted into the manifesto hypertext in order to serve as a contemporary ally to an anti-Muslim and anti-multicultural cause.
This is right up Jordan Peterson’s alley.
