  • You'll have to jump on Google scholar for the source, sorry.

    I haven't watched the video but did try to read some of his arguments and he seems borderline ecofascist from what I read. Obviously negative emissions technology does exist, even if it's harnessing natural processes otherwise Earth would look like Venus. On the ecofascist claim (apologies for the fucked PDF text:

    Meanwhile, in an Indian village where my offset money has helped to fund a wind turbine, the villagers now have the (low-carbon) electricity to watch television, which provides advertisers of a petrol-fuelled moped with more viewers, and customers. A fuel depot follows, to meet the new demand, and encourages others to invest in old trucks to transport goods between villages. Within 30 years, the village and surroundings have new roads and many more petrol-fuelled mopeds, cars and trucks. Meanwhile, the emissions from my original flight are still having a warming impact, and will do for another 100 years or so.



  • The cost of deploying enough shitty and highly expensive CO2 scrubbers to reach net emissions is only ten percent of global GDP. The only challenge is a lack of political will which will increasingly erode as things worsen.

    The doomer narrative is certainly promoted to shore up eco fascism and to stop people demanding change.














  • No it's doubling down, as in not only do westerners chest on exams and lie on their resumes, literally this fucking guy complaining about 'chinese cheating culture' or whatever writes that he is also cheating exams - but they pay him so he can't even conceptualise how he could be doing the wrong thing

    I am too tired to make that make sense in the same sarcastic tone as your original post





  • I don't think that you are making the same point as I am.

    My point is that the left is not represented in the US. It might as well be all republicans. Sure, there are some republicans that want to marginally expand some bits of healthcare, and others that want to reform ICE and replace it with something fundamentally the same, but US leftists should realise that they don't need to beg - they're not getting anything for it.
