Happy Earth Day, NYC!
 
An affordable city is a sustainable city. I'm proud to support NYCHA’s ambitious new Sustainability Agenda, which includes heat pumps, electric vehicle charging stations, induction stoves, and other energy-efficiency upgrades for NYCHA residents over the next five years.

Nazis are the ones that care about iconography.

CA anti-high speed rail people: it's way over budget and off schedule.
Me: that's because it's build around roads, instead of tearing out roads.

What llms do is qualitatively different from what humans do. The problem is jamming them all into the same economic hierarchy. If not for insufficient unemployment benefits, llms would merely shelter artists from those that settle for llms.

Accctttuaalllly, they came for economics first, and no one noticed, because they invented it.

functionality was not broken from the start? maybe it is just me.

If we give land back, or provide reparations, before destroying an oil company, would the oil company perish anyway, or would big oil find some other way to cause the harm it needs to survive?

The timeline's days are numbered. A whole new batch of formats will come out soon.

I mean, I wouldn't mind if the replacement was the idea to destroy oil companies, but that's not likely, because they are all part of the same economic hierarchy, and big oil is still at the top of the hierarchy.

I've got so little cachet, I'm tempted to concede to what I know to be false. Renewables are decreasing fossil fuel production. All we have to do is bring back Biden's funding of renewables, or maybe increase the funding a little, and we'll be just fine.

Legal immunity is business as usual. Their traditional immunity was codified by citizens united. This bill would change the keeling curve no more than personhood did. The only solution has not changed, and never will. Existentially delicense an oil major.

If growth is your only tool, charts are going to ratchet.

awfulness is almost as important as central casting

Reducing fossil fuel by reducing emissions is like herding cats.

Reducing fossil fuel with renewables is like getting a bull to go where you want.

I'm waiting with baited breath which company gets to put its name on the whitehouse.

Trends in CO2 - NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory GML conducts research on greenhouse gas and carbon cycle feedbacks, changes in aerosols, and surface radiation, and recovery of stratospheric ozone.

Could someone please tell me why NOAA hasn't updated the GHGs this month?

It's getting towards the end of April and the usual update happens on the 5th of the month.

It's no coincidence Trump and Mamdani find common cause on build baby build. That is just new and improved more of the same. It shields politicians from criticism without fixing anything. For lower prices you have to increase regulation, prohibiting the construction of anything priced above median.

Does anyone believe reducing fossil fuel would have been as much of a failure as increasing renewables has been?

He thinks sucking co2 is a thing.

Also, reducing fossil fuel, instead of electrifying everything, might reduce agricultural emissions by forcing farmers to be more sustainable. And good luck producing cement without fossil fuel. Artificial scarcity of fossil fuel might force them to use sustainable materials too.

Ok, so electricity is only 25%, so if renewables reduced electricity CO2 by 10%, that would be only 2.5%, perhaps not noticeable in the keeling curve. But reducing fossil fuel, instead of increasing renewables, is still better, because it also reduces the other uses of fossil fuel.

Yes, as in the military, employees of corporations don't work for the harms the company does. They work to support those they work with. Fossil fuel workers will never vote for humanity to survive, because that would cause their company to disband. Are we at more than 50% fossil fuel worker yet?

Big oil knows that the electorate needs things to destroy, so it set up Tesla and Palantir as things for pundits to blame. The first candidate to promise the destruction of an oil major will win by a landslide, even if they are not in any political party, and don't have Gandalf's blessing.

Your classifications are loyal to fossil fuel producers. To be constructive, you'd have to lump all the fossil fuel into one category. Cement and agriculture (aside from the fossil fuel burnt to produce them) would be the other two categories. What is it? 90% is due to the existence of big oil?

Yes, Zeteo supports Platner by lobbing softballs in an interview. Heck, Hasan Piker would probably support him if weighing in on a candidate in Maine were not beneath Piker.
