News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

That's cool and all but what is anyone supposed to do about it?
Canadian cities are centered around cars.
Winters are harsh, summers are plenty hot.
Most power is supplied via 80% non fossil fuels and trending in the right direction.
Obviously theres room for improvement but Canada is just not positioned to have low per capita emissions, it will always be lagging on this point.
...currently.
Insulation is neat.
Woo!
Especially if we tried nothing else and got nowhere.
Look; I agree we're not gonna get there with a red government; we certainly aren't getting there under a blue one with their love of selling dinosaur juice and dinosaur farts.
But we can't get a happy shiny gov when everyone's fear-voting to avoid the racist ponzi-schene alternative; or fear-voting to avoid losing grip on the dream of just one more tax break for the rich-bitches to start that golden trickle-down.
So my thing is, get a new voting setup. I like the simplest, because the rest are too hard for people to care about, but yeah. And while we're already 10 years out and even more fucked than now, at least the rich bastards will be dead and we can kumbaya around the burning husk of civilisation (because everything's burning) knowing we're maybe on a better path.
When our descendants revert back to conservatism and invade the surface world, at least we'll have left them the seeds of a better world to grow up here while they're down there hiding from the radiation.
No clue how to reply to schizo posting like this.
Well done
Same thing as us. One big thing for everyone, not just centered on climate, is get semis (mostly) off the road. Primary method of shipping should be freight trains, for multiple reasons including environmental.
You could feed the damn trains with coal and it'd better for the environment than running a hundred semis across the country and all the road maintenance that requires.
Our last administration was doing pretty well on green energy. We can both do better than 80% if we include nuclear.
EVs over ICE vehicles. Charging stations. Encourage home solar and battery solutions.
Actually regulate industry.
Regulating the seas might be more difficult and require more cooperation.
Honestly it shouldn't be hard to get out of the top 25 countries for per capita CO2 emissions.
You know whats ironic about EVs and their charge stations?
They're often running on diesel generators, very common on Tesla charge stations
