  • Hannah Ritchie: ‘Doomsday predictions are a dream for climate deniers’

    Jump

  • Everything those big corporations do ultimately ends being consumed by we consumers. We can't carry on driving SUVs to buy bottled water in Starbucks and saying it's corporations that need to act for the environment. Yes, structural solutions will always be best, but it's not an either-or situation and we can't cop out of taking actions ourselves by acting as though it is.

  • Do we own our posts?

  • I think the problem is that you're not explaining which country you're thinking of, and seem to be suggesting it's the same legal situation everywhere

  • US agency will not reinstate $900 mln subsidy for SpaceX Starlink unit

    Jump

  • Those are much much higher up, which introduces a lot of signal latency. The Starlink types are low down, which makes the Comms faster (and also means they keep burning up in the atmosphere)

  • Can videogames trigger a heart attack?

  • Don't ask online strangers for medical advice. Go to a doctor if you're worried

  • Isn’t the use of strict behaviorism to explain animals kind of obnoxious?

    Jump

  • Comparison with current excitement about AI is interesting. Look at the language people use to describe the behaviour of LLMs

  • Rishi Sunak Reportedly Said "It Was Okay To Just Let People Die" Rather than Impose a Second Lockdown During the Pandemic, UK Covid Inquiry Hears

    Jump

  • You seem to be suggesting that because some level of risk is inevitable, any level of risk is acceptable. There's a big difference between minimal practical risk and reckless levels of risk, but your construction doesn't capture that with its crude binary of "risk or no driving". We could drive with far less risk, eg enforcing speed limits with technology

  • King’s Speech: What policies made it in and what’s been removed?

    Jump

  • He's also a figurehead who announces whatever the government of the day tell him to accounce

  • Are there any active news communities similar to Lemmy/Reddit, but users can only vote and comment, not post articles?

    Jump

  • Flipboard sounds a lot like what you're looking for

  • The World’s Biggest Carbon Removal Plant Just Turned 2. So, Uh, Is It Working?

    Jump

  • Probably not. This sort of project is used by bad-faith actors, and naive policymakers, to justify not taking urgent action to curtail emissions. There's a good case for saying it would be better if this sort of piffling demonstration didn't exist, because then it would be harder to delay action on emissions

  • Do the people in Reniassance festivals occurring in Britain also speak with faked British accents, or do they use faked French/Italian accents instead?

    Jump

  • Because we have a lot of history. If we're doing an historic festival it would be more specific about the period, not just some homogeneous "past". But that said, such festivals are quite rare anyway

  • The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier.

    Jump

  • There are 7 billion people. How exactly are we going to have a system where they all try to be the highest?

  • Nigel Farage called ‘sketchy crackpot’ in secret NatWest emails

    Jump

  • Yes! For a moment I seriously was trying to decide if scunting was a word

  • Amazing Project Could Reduce Stops at Red Traffic Lights by 30%

    Jump

  • This is not good news. Cramming more cars onto the road means more emissions and more collisions

  • Airlines say they’ve found a route to climate-friendly flying

    Jump

  • While there are hungry people, we shouldn't be growing crops just to set fire to them

  • FTX execs blew through $8B — testimony reveals how

    Jump

  • I always hoped Wolf of Wall Street would have a sequel

  • What is the best website to search for scholarly articles?

    Jump

  • I'm a professional researcher and we all use Google Scholar. I've never seen Captchas on there. Are you on Scholar itself, or standard Google?

  • After decades of climate deception, Shell uses Fortnite to court demographic most concerned about climate change

    Jump

  • Genuine question: what value does my telemetry contain to them if I've clicked their link maliciously? Isn't it more likely it helps give them a wrong idea of what people interested in Shell look like?

  • Pope Francis scolds U.S., ‘irresponsible’ Western lifestyle in climate plea

    Jump

  • In large part because we've offshored all our manufacturing there. They're still our emissions, even if they're happening in China. We can't absolve ourselves that easily
