not really much normal people can do. voted green on the basis of them pushing work from home (30% carbon reduction) but once in office they dropped that idea, implemented "turbo migration" and forced homeowners (mainly famillies who took loans) to take out more loans to install solar while reducing paid parental leave. basically worst backstab me and my family have ever seen.
even if france as a whole turned 0 emissions, that wouldnt change anything if everyone else is doing business as usual.
The heck does this mean?
Get the fuck out of here with that "turbo migration" bullshit you reactionary fuck.
Sometimes I wish Ibrahim Traoré paid a visit to Paris. With the other goats coming along, of course.
Nah I changed my mind, France deserves hotter
now contrast this with what China is doing and it becomes clear that different outcomes are possible
Last time i checked china was mostly reliant on coal ? They shifted the energy production to something else ? Genuine question, if they took impactfull measures i'd be hapy to hear about it
China bootstrapped using fossil fuels because that was the only technology available, but they've been transitioning away from using fossil fuels at a mind boggling rate. China still uses fossil fuels, but I think it's fair to call it an electrostate at this point.
Yeah if everyone followed their example we'd be on our way to a green future
Thanks to war on Iran, a lot of countries might not have a choice now.
The US is mostly reliant on China, and china's manufacturing is slowly decreasing coal consumption, while rapidly increasing solar, wind and hydro.
Okay well believing China does things better than the west doesn't make you a tankie. I also believe there are many things China does better than the west but I guess that's all subjective.
wow that's an amazing ad hominem you got there dronie, no actual substantive counter points though sadly, do yourself a favor and get off the internet
I mean there is anything positive to say about USA/Europe?
Absolutely there is: they're finally dying
