Cough couch
I must have a sore throat today
Western media has perpetrated a dangerous myth: that individual actions alone can solve the climate crisis. This narrative deliberately ignores the systemic roots of the problem, shifting the burden onto individuals while corporations and oligarchs continue with business as usual.
Individual actions are utterly dwarfed by the impact of industrial pollution, unsustainable agriculture, and fossil fuel extraction. We’ve been tricked into focusing on recycling while the planet burns. The truth is, our entire economic system, built on the insatiable hunger for constant growth and consumption, is fundamentally incompatible with a livable planet.
The powerful have masterfully manipulated public perception, diverting attention from the true drivers of the climate crisis. This propaganda campaign protects their profits while undermining the urgent need for systemic change. We’re being gaslit into believing we’re the problem, not the system.
Why the “Western” in media here? Did “Eastern” media promote the opposite?
The east, specifically China, is taking concrete action to make the necessary structural changes instead of using the media to manipulate public opinion. As a result, emissions in China have now entered a structural decline, China dominates renewables such as wind and solar with China having added more solar capacity in 2023 alone than the US has in its entire history, and continues rapidly expanding its nuclear capacity. This clean energy infrastructure is now being exported to the Global South as well. That’s what real tangible action looks like.
Have those emissions results been verified by an independent third party?
I agree that at least on paper China is taking much stronger action than many other countries.
The analysis was done by an independent third party:
Emissions from the world’s most polluting country have rebounded this year after the Chinese government dropped its Covid restrictions in January, according to analysis undertaken for Carbon Brief.
Furthermore, I’m not sure what basis there is for being skeptical here. It’s universally acknowledged that China has created massive renewable infrastructure, and it follows that as clean energy production increases the emissions would fall.
Isn’t it time to eat them?
Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew!!
Can’t imagine them tasting very good.
I spose if you wrap um in bacon, pretty much anything taste good. But at some point. It’s just a waste of good bacon.
Don’t forget cheese. You can eat anything with melted cheese on top.
I wish activists would focus on boats as much as planes, either average person knew the amount of fuel they use we would be cheering for orcas to sink em all
Especially cruise ships. Its insane. Cruises are so so bad.
this just in, Water is wet
