I already commented this elsewhere, but the phrasing wasn’t phony. The bill was endorsed by the Citizens Climate Lobby: https://citizensclimatelobby.org/get-loud-take-action/baaja/
They believe (and say on that link) that the bill with result in net reduction of emissions.
BAAJA was officially endorsed by Citizens Climate Lobby because it fast tracks permitting for green energy projects. https://citizensclimatelobby.org/get-loud-take-action/baaja/
Helping fossil fuel projects was probably part of the bipartisan compromise, but I trust that organization to do the math on net climate benefit.
Yea, I guess I figured if the worst takes 15 years to get here, then I’ll be older and killed by it and it’ll be okay because my kids will be young adults with their best chance of survival.
But if it’s next year, then my kids are still pretty young and vulnerable. And if my kids don’t make it, I don’t really care to either.
I think it’s probably still outweighed by his axing subsidies on renewable electricity generation, axing subsidies on electric vehicles, removing regulations on fossil fuel electric plants, and subsidizing coal plants.
I was almost excited, but then you (rightfully) crushed it, OP.
With all sources of carbon considered, including deforestation, total global CO2 emissions are set to continue increasing.
Sigh. Still on track for my children starving to death in the famines to come.
I don’t know how they were trying to observe the drone, but there are image processing techniques in the visible spectrum and signal processing techniques in the radar domain to detect rotating objects. Do you just mean a smudge to the naked eye?
Also it makes no sense how a rotating drone would be good for wildlife watching. Wouldn’t your sensor on the drone be rotating the whole time? That’s another step of processing to continuously correct for a rotating reference frame.
I don’t disagree. (The tone of this is agreement with you, not defensiveness)
Ohh, that would be amazing. It seems like it might require ironing out medically assisted suicide though?
The innocent lives lost to criminals should be weighed against the innocent lives lost to these law enforcement groups enabled by the spying apparatus.
Do tell! What is that?
I’m over the SC. Can we get constitutional amendments for this already? My list so far:
-Add Supreme Court term limits and enough justices that every president nominates 2 and bind them to a code of ethics.
-The president should be bound by criminal law and a constitutional code of ethics similar to the Hatch Act.
-The electoral college should be abolished.
-Corporations are not people and do not have political speech rights.
-An updated version of the ERA with specific protections for abortion rights.
My life is seemingly filled with dementia-addled seniors at the moment. Age is definitely a problem.
I was hoping to outsource searching for links to corroborate/ disagree to Lemmy users… I guess it’s a big assumption that they would cite their sources.
My co-worker claimed that Mississippi has no legal path to even authorize a recount. Do you know if that’s true? Sometimes her facts are… Off.
There are several congressional races that are also this close
Good job!! Me and my uterus abandoned Texas years ago, and every time my daughters ask me when we can move to Texas to be with the rest of our family I tell them never.
Maybe that can change now.
Because the Supreme Court ruled that whatever the executive does is legal.
Also the “customer”/“conflict-of-interest” part.
