A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

All gas, no brakes...
We just broke the record for fossil fuel production back in October, and we've doubled production since 2012

We can't afford to wait four more years and hope we have a pro environment candidate. At this rate it'll take decades to correct another four years of stalling.
It’s too late. There is no correcting this. People really need to wake up and prepare for the worst.
FYI, this is the new argument of the conservatives hellbent on stopping normal people from addressing climate change.
Not addressing climate change has a worse outcome than addressing it.
It's not just 'conservatives' making this argument.
Anyone with a brain can recognize how we won't stop burning fossil fuels until it's no longer economical.
This is the result of greed, plain and simple. There is no solving it because we don't want to solve it.
I mean, historically, we correct anti-social behavior using violence.
How are you going to beat the vast majority of people into submission?
This isn't a "ruling class" issue. It's an "everyone" issue because we're all in on it.
If you didn't forego directly using fossil fuels, you're part of the problem.
If you don't want to acknowledge you're part of the problem, you're part of the problem.
I am probably part of the issue, even though I never drove and I stopped taking planes.
Not with wishful thinking and techno-optimism, that's for sure.
Is it? Can you quote one? Link? I’d love to see one admit it’s real.
You can't prevent it. This is the new normal, now let's support our workers and support fossil fuels
oh fuck right off, doubling down supporting fossil fuels is not pro-worker
A pro-environment candidate wouldn't be able to fix this anyway. 2/3 of the world live in rapidly developing countries and without their cooperation, nothing the US does will matter.
Someone has to lead the way, why not the countries that got us into this pickle?
Gotta start somewhere.
The average westerner have order of magnitude more of a footprint than the average indian. Not to mention importations.
But I agree, a truely pro-environment candidate would probably get assasinated. Energy quotas aren't that popular.
