If we really cared about the warming component of climate change, we would stop funding natural gas and dump all the money we would have spent on natural gas infrastructure on renewables. We would roll back the ship fuel sulfur ban (which has a cooling effect) and rely on corrective measures for pollution problems in exchange for preventative measures for warming problems.

Because of methane leakage and other factors, natural gas is only a net-positive effect over coal in terms of greenhouse effect somewhere between 20 to 100 years down the line (imo reasonable estimates put this at around 40-50 years). Until then, natural gas has a more significant warming effect than coal because of obscenely high rates of methane leakage during transmission and distribution (which are underreported by relevant agencies to the order of 2-5x).

There is no one solution to climate change, but the question now is whether we care about it as the only problem or just one of a myriad of problems caused by human activity.

It's motherfucking happening

Ahead of schedule

With accelerating velocity

It's fucking happening AHHHH

There's domes everywhere, not really sure what The Guardian is talking about

Shoigu is being replaced by Belousov, an economist. Shoigu was planning to retire before the invasion of Ukraine anyway, but this reflects either a dire need for an economics expert or a lack of need for someone with conflict experience.

Given Russia's recent successes in the Kharkov region, it's looking like Putin has already assumed that victory is inevitable and is planning for how to manage the post-war economy given the rapid expansion of Russia's military-industrial complex over the course of the Ukraine conflict.

That, or Putin is unhappy with Shoigu's progress... But again, looking at recent successes in the Kharkov region I highly doubt that.

It's actually absurd how the Xiaomi SU7 can sell for the same price as a decent Camry.

Israel

Perhaps the most harrowing claim is that Patten met with no Israeli victims of sexual violence from 10/7

This entire report is based on second-hand reports, circumstantial evidence, and propaganda.

What? You mean the US was lying?

The Wahabbi interpretation of Sharia law in Saudi Arabia maintains that acts of homosexuality should be disciplined in the same way as adultery - with death by stoning. Homosexuality or nonconformant gender expression can also be punished by corporal punishment, flogging, imprisonment or forced ‘conversion’ therapy. 

This isn't unusual in the Middle East. There's a number of reasons for this (mostly based on colonialism and imperialism by more powerful players), but this is unfortunately the status quo.

CNN, the same news org that runs ALL their reporting on this issue past the Israeli government?

Yeah...

An opposition Turkish lawmaker died on Thursday, two days after suffering a heart attack and collapsing in front of parliament as he finished a speech criticising the government's policy toward Israel.
