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.

Sell your people out to big oil and they vote for you. Madness.
So they’re at last accepting that climate change is real?
They know it's real, and have known for decades. They just don't give a fuck.
They were probably the first know. They do give a fuck. About hiding it and avoiding responsibility, while also lobbying to make it as unavoidable as possible. The fuckers knew well before the invention of the fossil fuel engine. Before the cars needed roads made of tarmac. Before the invention of the word jaywalking to keep pedestrians off the roads, so the cars could take over the entire infrastructure.
They knew, not decades ago, but more than a century ago that their product would destroy the atmosphere and they still went all in.
We might as well just close Louisiana to people, and make the whole thing an industrial zone
So .. sue the state?
States have sovereign immunity so you can't sue them either in most cases.
Soap, ballot, jury, lalala there's another 🎶🎵
"Or any other defendant." Meaning that in Louisiana, nobody can be held accountable for climate change.
Is there any place in that state that does emissions testing? Because if there is, this feels like they can't do that anymore.
lets just sue them for not causing climate change instead. watch them fuck themselves over just to avoid a lawsuit.
I mean you could always burn them alive to make them pay for climate change. It never needs to be civil.
Ok. I am going to start crossing red lights. I am fucking sick of this rules for thee but not for me. In their case they are actually harming the entire world. If I cross a red light on a bike or as a pedestrian I am not harming anybody
