That chart about the amount of carbon the top 1% of the US produces is just lol. makes no sense why the rest of the world doesn't band together to destroy the United states to save their own rear end

Seems like the thing preventing that is the global class solidarity of the wealthy

Yeah I keep hearing about these COP26 pledges to halt deforestation by 2030 and it’s like the rate all this poo poo is accelerating the only reason it’ll halt in 2030 is because we’ll have finished cutting it all down by then

From a little googling, none is allowed to be deliberately used or added. But 100ppm worth is allowed for incidental, or unintentional presence of lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium combined.

Which reminded me of my favorite ppm article that I've read, when some children's jewelry tested to 984,000ppm cadmium. Or 98.4% for those not using precise measurements for detecting trace elements. The legal limit was 40ppm

An informed source has told The Mail on Sunday that Camilla was taken aback to hear Biden break wind as they made polite small talk at the global climate change gathering in Glasgow last week.

'It was long and loud and impossible to ignore,' the source said. 'Camilla hasn't stopped talking about it.'

Since I would get annoyed listening to it, my exposure to it has been the tweets we've mocked or anything NPR does on it during my commutes.

Some highlights in my mind

- A representative of Guyana complaining that people want them to stop developing the huge oil reserves they've discovered in the past few years. They don't see a reason to hurt their own economy when everyone else got to develop their oil reserves and they aren't the problem with climate change. I believe they suggested being paid to not utilize their oil which is exactly how the world works.

- An ambassador from a country I don't remember doing an interview I caught at 5 in the morning where they actually sounded panicked. He talked about how we aren't doing enough and our outcomes are extremely dire.

- An interviewer trying to spin why China saying it will "peak it's emissions" by 2030 and be "net zero" by 2060 and not attending COP26 was an encouraging sign.

- Obama's stupid loving rear end strutting out and telling people to vote like their lives depend on it

- Joe Biden fell asleep and farted in a british royals face

COP26 is still about the fanciful dream of not hitting 1.5C of temperature increase (which is already guaranteed) and halting the problem entirely. So if you are operating in that context you can only get so bleak and dire in your messaging. They still have the luxury of thinking their concern and urgent words could fix the problem or that the problem can be fixed.

Once the extremely optimistic projections finally admit we are guaranteed for 2C the conversation might get a little darker once it switches from this dumbass idea of winning and changes to degrees of loss.

I haven't been, but I can sum it up - entire countries are crying about how they're going to die and everyone else are making noises about how they totally care but just outside camera shot are removing anything binding or measurable from the final text.
