This outright ignores multiple facts.

1 we have known how bad this shit is since the 1970s. When Exxon was the company that released the research. Yes Exxon discovered climate change.

The company then changed leadership and spent a fortune trying to bury their own research.

The simple fact is. Without government bans. Corperations have 0 motive to change their previous investment strategies. And huge motive to fight any competition that dose.

People have known electrical power is more efficient and cheaper since the 1900s. But as oil corps have been investing in infrastructure and government control since then. They have sold convenience as an intrinsic element of fossil fuel. Dispite the huge huge investment tax payers have been forced to spend to create this network.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
