I do think its worth creating outreach networks that
A) help people with problems created by climate crisis
B) use open source/public media to reach out to people to help inform them and solve problems.
People use reddit, gofundme etc, but I think it might be more useful to use non corporate media and branch out that way.
EU and China should put a CO2 tax on products from thr US if they want burn the planet
I was laugh-crying when the EU made that comment about the fate of the world being on some rando US state.
America needs to be downgraded in terms of reputation. We aren't protectors of the world, we can barely help ourselves.
We actively harm ourselves for shits and giggles apparently.
Even Scroob would be an improvement.
I said on Facebook this morning: "I'm sorry Americans, I hate this for you" and caught a 30 day ban. Amazing. I am so sorry.
Just give Facebook a permaban. Them banning you is like your boss writing you up for having the best attendance.
Don't you just love freedom of speech?
I feel like they've been waiting for a chance to do this. I got similarly banned after Roe vs Wade was overturned when I offered to mail abortion pills to Americans. Vice interviewed me about it.
Look on the bright side, late night political humor is going to get more interesting. They are putting RFK Jr in charge of key public health industries, which is going to create an entertaining amount of karma.
I do hope that the US is able to rush some Ukraine aid, but it does look like Europe is also going to have a hard road ahead. This isn't just Trump winning out, it is a form of undermining democracies winning out, and it will continue to spread much quicker now.

One positive is that he doesn't seem to be influenced by corporate lobbying.
I hate how this picture is accurate. American inaction on climate change fucks everyone over. There's almost no chance of convincing China and India to reduce emissions if the richest country in the world can't be bothered to lift a finger.
But hey, maybe this will incentivize Elon to double his efforts on colonizing Mars for the super rich!
It will only incentivize Elon (and all the other filthy rich) to build air conditioned luxury bunkers guarded by AI killerbots in places like New Zealand.
Or maybe something like the titular space station in the movie Elysium, where they enjoy the newest medical treatments while looking down on the rest of humanity trying to survive on a planet that has turned into a helhole.
Actually China is leading the planet on renewables deployment.
I haven't combed through the data in a minute, but I want to also say that they're also leading in fossil fuel deployment too. Probably is due to their population size than anything else.
Don't worry though: America can't stand that China is doing better than them at something, so we're going to try to punish them and frame them as the bad guys since America can be the only one espousing leadership, not the Big Bad East.

Yup, China is also leading the planet on new coal plant construction. As of 2 months ago, it seemed to be on track to add 80GW of coal generation capacity in 2024 alone, and accounts for more than 90% of new coal construction.
By way of comparison, the US peaked in total coal plant capacity in 2011 at 318GW, and has since closed about 134GW of capacity, with more to come.
In context, what we're seeing is massive, massive expansion of electricity generation and transmission capacity, both clean and dirty, in China. We can expect China to increase its total carbon emissions each year to be closer to the West, while the United States reduces its own from a much higher starting point. Maybe the two countries will cross in per capita emissions around 2030 if current trends continue, but there's no guarantee that current trends will continue: will the United States continue to shift from coal to gas? Where does grid scale storage, electrification of passenger vehicles, demand shifting, or dispatchable carbon free power go from here, in a future Trump administration? What's going to happen with the Chinese economy over the next 5 years? What technology will be invented to change things?
Thanks for sharing!
Are China the good guys now?
No. But neither are the US and I don't think they ever were. For now, I'd say the EU are the less bad of the biggest (EU, Russia, China, India, and the US) but even we aren't the good guys.

'Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn! Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport, or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours.'
I've got bad news for you about the other primates...
Yeah, but they don't have the ability to fuck the planet like we do.
yep. the lofty goals of clean, cool future are wiped away and replaced with the more basement boons of high, fast burn out.
