As always, the key question for these guys is: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU ARGUING AGAINST. It is wild how they just Make Up A Guy constantly, and it doesn't occur to anyone to ask them who the hell they're talking about. Spend 0.0001 seconds looking at eNGO climate pages, folks

here’s a doomsday view of climate change that goes like this: In a few decades, cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization. The evidence is all around us—just look at all the heat waves and storms caused by rising global temperatures. Nothing matters more than limiting the rise in temperature. Fortunately for all of us, this view is wrong. Although climate change will have serious consequences—particularly for people in the poorest countries—it will not lead to humanity’s demise. People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future. Emissions projections have gone down, and with the right policies and investments, innovation will allow us to drive emissions down much further.Threats Effects of climate change Climate change poses a fundamental threat to the places, species and people’s livelihoods WWF works to protect.Humans and wild animals face new challenges for survival because of climate change. More frequent and intense drought, storms, heat waves, rising sea levels, melting glaciers and warming oceans can directly harm animals, destroy the places they live, and wreak havoc on people’s livelihoods and communities. U.S. Cities at Risk As climate change worsens, dangerous weather events are becoming more frequent or severe. People in cities and towns around the United States are facing the consequences, from heat waves and wildfires to coastal storms and flooding.

www.popsci.com/environment/... Aircela's $15-20k machine makes 1 gallon of gas per day out of air and 75kWh of electricity. Or you could put that energy in an EV and get 255 miles instead of 38, without the machine in between, and no combustion products on our streets.

Refrigerator-sized machine makes gasoline out of thin air

The Aircela acts like a mini direct air capture facility, sucking up carbon dioxide and then synthesizing it into real, usable gasoline for cars.

However it seems that in this case the solution could have been simpler: 1) Make sure conventional backup power acts as promised 2) Change the rules for turning off solar when over- or under-voltage occurs, so solar doesn't turn off all at once

The extraordinary elite propaganda effort on behalf of nuclear power has worked: public support for nuclear power is at record highs. This took place during a period in which the only nuclear plant built in the US is 10s of billions over budget. Pretty impressive.

Nuclear Energy Support Near Record High in U.S.

Americans support nuclear energy and offer mixed views on fracking and offshore drilling, while a diminished majority prefer renewable energy development over more fossil fuel production.

The Liberal Party used extremist cult Exclusive Brethren as their campaign volunteer team. These cultists were given access to Liberal data to make 1 million phone calls, and crowded polling booths. Why would the Brethren support the Liberals? What were they promised? www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Exclusive Brethren made nearly a million calls for the Liberal Party

The Liberal Party provided members of the secretive Christian religious sect access to the party’s tightly held and sensitive voter information software.

How hilariously delightful that old mate Angus picked renowned public intellectual and 5 minute Liberal, Jacinta P as his running mate Like sitting in a coffin and nailing it shut yourself from the inside

OL Peter Dutton has been "very clear" • His Govt would introduce Policy A. • Wait ... No, they won't. • Wait ... No, except in the ACT. • Wait, no, but yes. Maybe. • And there's other policies he has regarding A that his shadow ministers say they will definitely introduce, like B, C and D. #auspol

This election has been so revealing of the real Peter Dutton. A bit of poll pressure and he has not been able to hide his extremism on race and gender. Even with all the cover he has been given over the last three years. And now, in the final week, it’s full mask off. What a disgrace.

Just to be clear, we reached the arresting-judges-and-deporting-US-citizens-without-due-process stage of the slide into authoritarianism today. And the citizens in question included a toddler and a child with cancer who needs treatment in the US.

Families disappeared and isolated without legal access; one child with cancer deported without medication and pregnant mother deported as well

‘Their document is designed to send a message to Washington (“back off—we’re unified enough to cause you trouble”), but it’s also a teaching document. It says, when someone questions your honor & your purpose, you better stand up👊 It’s a lesson that won’t be lost on decent people’ #StrongerTogether

College presidents are finally standing up to Trump. A letter signed by more than 400 university heads offers a sharp rebuke to the bully-in-chief.

Authoritarianism (Trump/Putin) can be confronted if we democracies strive to uphold the rule of law. United Nations appears neutered; International Criminal Court is ignored. Europe and the “Commonwealth” now must step up. Geoffrey Robertson 👇
