"Won't anybody think of the automakers!?" - TACO Administration

[-] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 31 points 4 days ago

The auto industry has not wanted to change during all that period. If they embraced the change then there wouldn’t have been any uncertainty.

Won't you think of the automakers?

“years of uncertainty for automakers.”

Automakers will have complete certainty sooner than you think. No more cars will be sold because everyone is dead and a hothouse earth turned over to the tardigrades.

Cars aren't being sold in the US right now anyways for other reasons. People aren't dropping 80k on cars that were 50k some years ago, inventory isn't moving really compared to before. In addition, repossessions are very high right now.

Doesn't mean the situation isn't dire but I think someone will find out that the slumping sales aren't due to environmental regulations.

Hey, let's give some credit! We'll also be handing Earth back to the Earth's first owners: the cyanobacteria!

Won't someone please think of the shareholder value! /S

Fucking hang them all. Every last owning class bastard deserves nothing but a tortured end at the hands of the people.

Remember when rivers used to catch fire? If not, you're in for a treat.

[-] Cheems@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Remember when they brought all the fun of flaming rivers to your home? Fracking is truly revolutionary.

[-] phar@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

Yea, they tried mushrooms but people ran for cover

Those poor, poor investors.

Trumps on the list, everything he says and does is him trying to cover it up and switch the narrative.

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: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
