When you think about it, it's kind of amazing that the GOP have been able to harness (((The Globalists))) for this long without having to actually take one step, performatively or otherwise, towards de-globalizing our economy

At some point in the last decade or so both sides of our political spectrum abandoned actionable politics altogether and the end result now is that one side is convinced the world is ending immediately, the other side is convinced the world is under the control of a global cabal of elites, and the only thing anyone can agree on is that nothing can be done to solve any of our problems

they're using that word to refer to Jewish people, not the actual process of globalization, lol

The only sources I can recommend are very dry. The Human Consequences Of The Chernobyl Nuclear Accident from the IAEA talks about various health, psychological, and economic problems in the region.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said this week that US natural gas production does not conflict with long-term emission reduction targets, Yahoo Finance first reported.

"Why can't we get it through our thick skulls, that if you want to solve climate [change], it is not against climate [change] for America to boost more oil and gas?" he continued, according to Yahoo.

I did not know the bolded part at all - I thought the carbon just sat there or w/e

quote:

Where C.C.S. has been most widely used in the United States and elsewhere, however, is in the production of oil and natural gas. Here’s how: Natural gas processing facilities separate carbon dioxide from methane to purify the methane for sale. These facilities then sometimes pipe the “captured” carbon dioxide to what are known as enhanced oil recovery projects, where the carbon dioxide is injected into oil fields to extract additional oil that would otherwise be trapped underground.

Of the 12 commercial C.C.S. projects in operation in 2021, more than 90 percent are engaged in enhance oil recovery, using carbon dioxide emitted from natural gas processing facilities or from fertilizer, hydrogen or ethanol plants, according to an industry report. That is why we consider these ventures oil or natural gas projects, or both, masquerading as climate change solutions.

not only that, but they get a special tax credit for doing EOR!

quote:

Credit Amount. The IRA establishes a new baseline credit amount for qualifying CCUS facilities of $17 per ton of carbon permanently sequestered and $12 per ton of carbon captured for enhanced oil or gas recovery (EOR) or commercial utilization of captured carbon. The baseline amounts, however, may be multiplied by five if the qualifying facility meets certain wage, hour, and apprenticeship requirements resulting in 45Q credit amounts for sequestration and EOR/utilization of $85 and $60 per ton, respectively. The IRA also creates separate direct air capture (DAC) 45Q baseline credit amounts of $36 per ton for permanent carbon sequestration and $26 per ton for EOR and carbon utilization. The DAC credits may also be multiplied by five if prevailing wage, hour, and apprenticeship requirements are met resulting in 45Q credits for sequestration and EOR/utilization of $180 and $130, respectively. The following chart shows the IRA’s proposed changes to the 45Q credit amounts.

now that's how we save the climate!

Energy and Ambitions on a Finite Planet - Murphy, Tom - textbook by the Do The Math guy - quite elementary, but a good introduction to the various non-fossil fuel energy sources. I found it informative, and would consider it a good recommendation to introduce neophytes/ persuade techno-optimists.

I haven't read any of these but they have all been recommended (or at least discussed) in circles similar to this'n:

It kinda surprised me to learn that the first resource you linked is an university grade textbook.
I may be an old and not aware of the education standards these days, but skimming through it, I couldn't shake the feeling that most of the core concepts (ok there's a few chapters that require a bit more iterative training in algebra to be painlessly absorbed in full) could be meaningfully relayed to young teens.

Imagine if we'd had widely available vulgarisation documents like these available a few decades ago and integrated it in the curriculum or some civitas exam. Might have helped a bit in preparing for our shared predicament.

quote:

The 21% reduction is much more dire than the original 15% reduction the bureau told Arizona and six other Southwest states they had to prepare for in June. The feds told states they would step in and impose restrictions themselves if that deadline wasn't met.
..........................

Officials at the Arizona Department of Water Resources and the Central Arizona Project (CAP) canal said that they did meet the deadline, but their collaborative proposal with Nevada was rejected by the federal officials.

"It is unacceptable for Arizona to continue to carry a disproportionate burden of reductions for the benefit of others who have not contributed," ADWR and CAP officials said in a press release. "Arizona is committed to work toward a comprehensive plan that assures protection of the system through equitable contributions from all water users."
...........................

Arizona's agriculture industry has had a troublesome history of overusing water. Before using Colorado River water, farmers relied on groundwater and almost drained the state dry. The crisis was seemingly averted in 1973 with the formation of the CAP canal.

"A lot of agriculture in the state was very reliant on well water before we got the CAP canal," Kyl Center for Water Policy Director Sarah Porter previously told 12News. "It was broadly understood that well water was a finite resource and we were going to be in trouble."

The overuse of well water led to farmers giving up their CAP rights to cities in exchange for those cities subsidizing the water through urban property taxes.

Nearly 50 years later, farmers will have to face the consequences of that deal as another water crisis looms.

i'm sure that we did have documents like these. but there's no way in hell you would have been able to make them part of any school curriculum. you'd have been opposed at every single turn by climate deniers, social conservatives, religious nuts, and business in general and oil and gas specifically. the latter would've probably put serious money into smear campaigns and legal action against people pushing for that, and i legitimately don't think that them having people murdered over this would have been out of the question
