Yea that’s what pseudo religious psychopaths do.
Duh, they're Repugnants. Not people. Every single pathetic one of them and those that voted for them.
We should try telling them the weather is gay and watch them jump into action.
Send them where the fashionable pitchforks are heading - tell them the weather is trans. That'll work.
The photo is Furnace Creek in Death Valley. That temperature is normal for Death Valley in the summer.
Temperatues above 110F are forecast for agricultural areas in California this week. The central valley isn't supposed to be as brutal as Death Valley
110F
43.3 °C
I understand, it just seems counterproductive to use that photo for this piece. Honestly, 115° at that location is just another Tuesday.
You can't take a photo of an event in the future, so they're pointing out how places people live are going to be like places which are already too hot
Unfortunate choice of photo agreed, but it's call Death Valley for a reason.
What's "climate funding" ?
I agree that the article is not the greatest but it does explain a bit:
Last week, the Clean Budget Coalition – a group of non-profits such as the League of Conservation Voters, Environmental Defense Fund and Public Citizen – identified at least 17 of these “climate poison pills” in appropriation bill drafts. Among them are amendments that would prevent the federal government from purchasing electric vehicles or building EV charging stations; block funding for the Green Climate Fund, which helps developing countries meet their climate goals under the Paris agreement; and prohibit funding for a Department of Energy initiative aiming to send 40% of the overall benefits of certain federal investments to flow to disadvantaged communities.
It sounds like they 1) don't want to support funding anything that hurts the fossil fuel industry or makes us use less oil and 2) don't want to give free climate change mitigation help that goes to communities (instead of business or at all? I don't know). When you put yourself in the mind of someone who doesn't believe humans cause climate change and gets huge amounts of lobbying money from the fossil fuel industry, it makes sense.
They could cut subsidies to fossil fuel industry, which would do more to help climate then this exercise.
Neither side is doing anything about dealing with actual culprits. With subsidies, nuclear and renewables can compete properly but this topic does not get any attention from the fake news.
That's because the fossil fuels industry bought off all the Republicans and a small number of Democrats. This let them force the Inflation Reduction Act to be all-carrot-no-stick
India and Vietnam have higher share of solar in their electricity mix then the US and I kind of doubt they hand out massive subsidies to solar.
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
