You signing up for mystery bags of food?

I would not, but that's a nice development.

How greenhouse gasses are affecting the atmosphere observed for the first time.

"Zombie fires"

Shell ordered by court to cut emissions.

This is a really big deal. A court ruling that a massive corporation is doing damage to its community via pollution.

The article discusses how these kinds of cases should now explode everywhere.

Shell wasn't the only Big Oil company to get hit Wednesday.

Just wow. Truly impressive moves. Maybe someday we can have nice thing?

China will more than make up for carbon emissions. I saw a stat that for every coal plant shut down somewhere in the world, China builds 10. Maybe an exaggeration, idk.

New concrete fix will also absorb its CO2.

The Gulf Stream is faltering.

Nothing lasts forever.

That was a feature of my "western droughts" thread.

Ecosexuals.

Funny how they can't exactly get the Earth's consent, so isn't that rape?

This map is interesting because it doesn't seem to line up with the narrative we hear about people not believing in it. This map says the vast, vast majority of people are on board.

"People" can't change anything. "People" don't make a dent compared to what corporations/governments do. Putting the onus on individuals was a brilliant piece of propaganda that kept the focus off the factories spewing pollution.

This.

Dancers to produce electricity.

This is actually cool, but reminds me a bit of S1Ep2 of Black Mirror.

Leaded gasoline goes the way of the dodo.

Plastic waste fills in for sand shortage.

Considering what we're learning about micropollution thanks to plastic, is this wise?

[TheCatt]

Leaded gasoline goes the way of the dodo.

I wonder if it made the countries still using it dumber.

Charlie's mom makes a solid point, and it's further proof about how corporations try to gaslight into thinking we're the polluters, when they're the actual problem.
