This action is a huge blow to the tar sands overall, and if the other pipeline gets too many set backs the tar sands might actually fold from lack of investment.

I had literally zero hopes for Biden, and this is already a net good. Consider me surprised.

    Good post! Quick question:

    “we in America/Europe did our duty, it’s China’s fault”.

    Isn't this predicated on China doing fuck all about climate change? I know propaganda doesn't really align with reality, but showing a way forward seems a lot more compelling than pointing the finger.

      China's coming up on the plurality of industrial capacity globally, atm. They're also bringing their 1.4B person strong population into the first-world standard of living. It really will be in their hands going forward.
