@dfohio I cannot NOT read this.
@Pungent Hillary would like a word.
@Pungent He may choose to not run for a second term, but by no means should he resign. You never capitulate to bullies. Let the GOP have their hearing. It will be a disaster for them. It will be a surrogate for the George Santos bat that Dems can beat the GOP relentlessly with in advance of the election.
@cmajuscula I suspect that the statistically most common cause of death due to #ClimateChange is likely to be war and the breakdown of civil society.
I think we can safely say that the 1.5 degree C limit for global warming proposed in Paris was at best aspirational. It is clear that the oil producing nations haven't made enough money yet and are too dense to understand that, at this rate, all the money in the world can't save them from their own avarice. The 1.5 number is now out of reach as a limit. We now look to 2.5, but with tipping points on the edge, even now, that goal is also unrealistic. My expectation is now 8 to 12. #ClimateChange
@Charles_Hawtrey Good news? Are you sure? I wish I could be...
@DyDave To all these countries complaining about the word "could"... please. If the US, China and the EU all developed independent and aggressive limits on oil and gas usage whilst promoting renewable tech through targeted investment and regulation, then nothing that happened at COP 28 will matter. No one will buy their oil, as there won't be a demand for it. The problem can be solved by demand-side economics. #ClimateChange
@Kinnison Seems risky...
@nblumengarten Klanned Karenhood is working hard for the old white guys at The Heritage Foundation and the Council for National Policy (CNP). They are nevertheless losing badly outside of Florida.
@cwithav The alternate history program "For All Mankind" imagines a Gore presidency in the 90's.
@PussyFootingAround My question: Why is she obsessed with Hunter's penis?
@JanetZumba_FalPals Your vote is your choice. Around here, I think only two things are required: 1) an open mind, and 2 ) common courtesy.
@DJNoneYa True. But... Wind and Solar cannot be a grid base with current tech. We need hugely better energy storage, and we need other reliable base-load providers. Geothermal can provide this, but will require the expertise of big oil to do it in an economically viable way. The tech is there to make #geothermal viable almost everywhere. Big Oil needs to get on board that train.
@NorthernInvader So, when we screw this planet up, it will be uninhabitable for hundreds of thousands of years...
