@renewablesmiffy Farmers are a primary constituency lobbying against climate and environment policy. Should be made to take a severe haircut (they will, of course be bailed out by the public as usual).
@renewablesmiffy I think it was mostly about the far-right govt taking their cues from Trump, who also cancelled wind farms on "defence" pretexts around the same time
@TheLastFarm@barbarismcrit Is there a non bad way to do this? Seems like a good idea if you want to avoid synthetic fertilizers. And using 'night soil' has a long history.
We all know the situation is bad but still shocking to read explicit climate denial from Socialdemokraterna. Really rubbing people's noses in it here.

@laurimyllyvirta Ok, but on what timescales and with what cumulative emissions?
Also, Piketty does not exclude technical solutions so a bit of a straw man
BIG SCOOP: Energy reps tell me the Trump administration is now extrajudicially blocking all new wind projects in the United States
Apparently the Pentagon is refusing to sign off on FAA airspace clearances even when military assets aren’t around

@MartinNordin1 Äntligen någon som tar upp sakfrågan isf meningslös metadebatt om parlamentariskt regelverk.
Det övergripande syftet är att skapa exploaterar arbetskraft som saknar grundläggande civila rättigheter. Alla partier förutom V/MP är överens om nyliberalismen och därför >
My MAGA uncle still complains about how fuel economy regs “killed the American muscle car industry.” Apparently, he was a full-on tie-dyed hippy longhair in his youth.
Never really made the connection before
The more I talk to my boomer parents about their teen years the more it feels like the 1973 energy crisis was The defining socioeconomic moment of the 20th century on this continent possibly including the second world war lol
@RKelanic Not sure what it adds up to, but in 2010s CA drought people managed to reduce water usage by ~25% in short order. I don't see why 10% or more shouldn't be feasible for oil in transport.
@RKelanic I remain skeptical of 'can't quickly decrease demand' at least re: transport. If you know reasonably well-off US surburbanites, you know they
- make no effort to carpool even when feasible
- never take transit even when feasible
- make little to no effort to chain trips
