Public transport is a realistic alternative to driving for most people who don't rely in work from home. I'm interested in solutions that work regardless of your location though and reducing the hours worked for people would have positive knock on effects on the climate in that it would depress economic activity, consumption and growth. We should work less, travel less (except bike or foot), spend & buy less. Spend more of our time just relaxing, walking, hobbies, whatever. Only reason we still have to work 8 hours 5 days a week is because all the wealth & productivity gains goes to the top 1% and we're basically treated since childhood to become consumer drones and associate consumption with positive things.

I also have spells where I get into very dark and hopeless moods about climate change, ecosystem collapse and so on. But then this tweet made me genuinely lol: https://twitter.com/RossMcCaff/status/1557025583162351617?t=Y5R1ylh2W5FDnKSyEYrg4Q&s=19 https://twitter.com/stercusuk/status/1557135650243190789?t=9Kkf4iV8Il1JjCvhq5Vp7Q&s=19 Maybe this is what Charles Moore was so scared about, after all?

roomtone posted:that cruise ship thing is nuts, i had no idea. you could wipe out countries worth of emissions just by getting rid of them? It's like everyone I know with an SUV. They know the figures, they know exactly what they're doing to the environment, but it's different because they need one for the kids stuff, or work, or whatever. Individualism is a blight. And if you tried to close even the biggest offenders you'd get the culture warriors in the conservative party howling about the woke left destroying traditional british cruises for being named after the queen. If you imagine the environment as a field, it's like being told to pick up your litter after a picnic by a guy tipping open barrels of chemical waste out the back of an industrial tiller.

Mega Comrade posted:Well it can come across that way with how defeatist a lot of you are. And I get it, its dire, its depressing. But saying stuff like "EVs will do nothing" begs the question , then why bother getting one? This image is fairly misleading imo. That’s for sulphur dioxide emissions. That’s not a major contributor I was aware of but I googled it and the first result states sulphur dioxide is not a direct greenhouse gas contributor but “contributes to aerosol formation which can either warm (through absorption of solar radiation on dark particles) or cool (from forming cloud droplets and reflecting radiation) the atmosphere”. So they’re bad, yes, but that’s potentially more because of their CO2 emissions which the graph doesn’t even mention.

Utility vehicles have a better case for keeping around, as long are they are actually being used for that case. A full on 4x4 can get to places a train or plane can't. But what does a Ford Mondeo do that can't be done better with proper urban design?

It seems like it would be very easy to say something about what's going on? Or have some sort of plan? Or point out that the government is absolutely useless? Starmer's last tweet was about the 2022 Euro final. Nobody on the front bench has anything to say or do. Paying attention to Labour is basically the same as sitting down in front of the Brain of Mensis.

forkboy84 posted:ACTION WITHOUT SOME IDEA BEHIND THE ACTION IS IMBECILIC. 1. We want to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and rashness. 2. The essential elements of our poetry will be courage, audacity and revolt. 3. Literature has up to now magnified pensive immobility, ecstasy and slumber. We want to exalt movements of aggression, feverish sleeplessness, the double march, the perilous leap, the slap and the blow with the fist. 4. We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing automobile with its bonnet adorned with great tubes like serpents with explosive breath ... a roaring motor car which seems to run on machine-gun fire, is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace. 5. We want to sing the man at the wheel, the ideal axis of which crosses the earth, itself hurled along its orbit. 6. The poet must spend himself with warmth, glamour and prodigality to increase the enthusiastic fervor of the primordial elements. 7. Beauty exists only in struggle. There is no masterpiece that has not an aggressive character. Poetry must be a violent assault on the forces of the unknown, to force them to bow before man. 8. We are on the extreme promontory of the centuries! What is the use of looking behind at the moment when we must open the mysterious shutters of the impossible? Time and Space died yesterday. We are already living in the absolute, since we have already created eternal, omnipresent speed. 9. We want to glorify war - the only cure for the world - militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of the anarchists, the beautiful ideas which kill, and contempt for woman. 10. We want to demolish museums and libraries, fight morality, feminism and all opportunist and utilitarian cowardice. 11. We will sing of the great crowds agitated by work, pleasure and revolt; the multi-colored and polyphonic surf of revolutions in modern capitals: the nocturnal vibration of the arsenals and the workshops beneath their violent electric moons: the gluttonous railway stations devouring smoking serpents; factories suspended from the clouds by the thread of their smoke; bridges with the leap of gymnasts flung across the diabolic cutlery of sunny rivers: adventurous steamers sniffing the horizon; great-breasted locomotives, puffing on the rails like enormous steel horses with long tubes for bridle, and the gliding flight of aeroplanes whose propeller sounds like the flapping of a flag and the applause of enthusiastic crowds. Labour: This but  and the train is late

"Ideas"? Those sound like *thinking* words. The longer I look at that tweet the angrier I get, it's like they've decided thinking about things doesn't triangulate well, it's too "metropolitan liberal elite". Every time I think I'm inventing a person to be mad at, that person turns out to exist in the Starmer camp and be even dumber and more infuriating than I'd imagined
