"Tomme" kollektivfelt. Det er da ingen som er så dumme at de tror at hvis bilene fikk stå i kokkeltivfeltet og lage kø også, så kunne de på magisk vis flyttet seg når bussen kom?

Hey 👋 everyone who added me from @costasamaras.bsky.social’s climate starter pack! Hi! I work on electricity policy for energy justice. I’m part of the California crew who fought for “equitable building decarb” and a member of @cplusc.bsky.social. I’m queer. And I’m a former oil and gas engineer.

How far will the fossil fuel industry go to protect itself from climate impacts it helped cause? A $21 billion liquefied natural gas plant in Louisiana will be surrounded by a 26-foot-high steel sea wall to stave off rising seas.

Right wing, conservative, libertarian etc ideologies break at every intersection with climate. Preventing it, dealing with it, understanding it, ensuring all of those things don't worsen the others, etc.

Back in the early to mid 2010s there was this view that you should gently convince right wingers to believe in climate science and my response was always: "a right wing that believes the science is scarier than one that denies it"

One of the most head-spinning but largely unchallenged fossil industry lies in Australia is a monthly "warning" issued that there's a "gas shortage" which requires a million new gas fields to be opened up. More gas is burned *just to process gas exports* than is used domestically in manufacturing.

It was universally other young people of colour - often in unsafe positions and with a lot to lose - who just immediately stuck up for her. All the white progressives staying silent about Payman will retroactively claim to have always supported her, when it's safe for them to do so.

The thing that pops into my memory here is that during the first few days / weeks of the Yassmin Abdel-Magied outrage, a huge swathe of white centre-left "progressives" either quietly condemned her or said nothing at all. It was only when they had safety in numbers that they supported her.

The ickiest part of this is that even the slightest adjacency of human influence when it comes to afforestation or reforestation is counted as fully human induced and counted as negative emissions, like heavy rainfall on lands vaguely where people farm and decided to not entirely destroy the land

Pretty astounding that Canada's 2023 wildfires emitted four times more carbon than global aviation, but these emissions are not counted under Canada's accounting standards.

It seems tough to verify. I found one project at least that seems to take both funding from Team Trees but also a partner sells carbon offsets from the project. The TT website features such little information that you can't match up projects easily
