gently caress You And Diebold posted:It is pretty much just useful as a way to bring more attention to an issue rather than a solution itself. If people stop at the small stuff it doesn't do much at all because the potentially recoverable waste/energy from residential sources is a tiny tiny fraction of the whole. On the other hand there is the risk that people start to think their small behavioural changes might be enough and if they do one good thing a day they are free of sins.

Nice piece of fish posted:I do like seeing the green parties of Europe gathering more votes these last years. Problem with them isn't so much the "too little too late" problem. but the fact that social reform isn't also on their agenda; currently the green parties are being supported by single-issue voters from all political creeds. I can see that creating problems if they pick up enough momentum to become a realistic option for government. Greens have governed Germany for 7 years and they were the most neoliberal of them all.

The G7 states pledged to decarbonise completely in this century. There could be worse news.

Yeah it's still dumb but it's at least something and not the usual total bullshit you have been hearing from these summits for the last 20 years.

Radbot posted:Luckily, they have nowhere near the influence that you imagine they do! Do you think there are more Tea Party or Green types in America? Or does aggressive false equivalence just kinda get you going? Blowfish's from Germany where Greens actually have influence. They're in several state governments and were in the federal government before Merkel. Also the experience of power has made a lot of them centrist neoliberals.

Climate Change is starting to affect food prices worldwide and might begin reversing progress in anti-starvation projects. The study will be published in a few days, but a German newspaper already got to read it: http://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/wwf-studie-klimawandel-treibt-die-preise-und-leert-die-regale-1.2721989 (unfortunately only in German)
