I was wondering today if the vast quantities of methane released in the move to natural gas are behind the accelerated enfuckening

I guarantee it. Because we keep finding out that's it's worse than we knew before.

Its old white boomers that need warmer temperatures as their circulation gets worse fleeing winters and creating giant suburban sprawl in inhospitable environments where they can curl up on warm rocks like lizards and play golf

Now they refuse to leave and demand we divert most of the watershed in the continent to golf courses in New Death Valley

This "Tap the Mississippi" thing is catching on. For the low low price of 50 billion dollars we can construct an aqueduct to give Phoenix Arizona golf courses a few more billion gallons of water a year.

This is a megaproject that might benefit more than the handful of people who are supposed to solely benefit from any kind of spending, and is therefore a socialism.

So they'll spend 50 billion dollars for 5 miles of a ditch anyway, but then the money goes to the money-havers like God intended .

Twitter won't embed that I guess. It's Dave Anthony posting "This court was put in place by businesses to allow fossil fuel companies continue unabated. This decision wasn’t even that bad but the next ones will be. We can end the court or end life.

Yes and thanks to Tesla gaming the credits system they can just buy credits from Tesla and they don’t have to make as many fuel efficient cars.


Owners of Tesla cars, even if they cause environmental good, don’t get to claim that good because Tesla retains it, commodified it, and then sells it.

It’s like if you had a life preserver but the company that sold you the life preserver takes the credit for any future lives saved, then sold those credits to someone who wants to do some murdering.

Capitalism finds a way, what a joke.

don't worry I'm sure blue states will create their own very strong local regulatory bodies, perhaps almost as effective as local eatery health inspections
