liberals who refuse to even CONSIDER putting up an actually pro-climate candidate
I got a push poll from my Congresswoman, Liz Fletcher (D), accusing her biggest primary race rival of being a far-left extremist who would destroy the Houston economy with his climate alarmism. The poll also accused him of sponsoring Hamas terrorism and being weak on women's rights because he wouldn't negotiate on an abortion bill.
Still a little squishy on Pervez Agwan, but Fletcher's poll did not help her case.
Political polls be like:
Do you support: (A) TERRORIST DEATH AND VIOLENCE (B) RAINBOWS AND SUNSHINE
Published results: 99% of people support ME!
Its more:
How would you feel if you knew that Candidate A loves kittens and personally donated $50000 to the SPAC, has six shelter kittens of her own, and has advanced legislation to fund a study that will guarantee all cats receive adequate housing, food, and medical care without raising taxes or increasing the national debt?
How would you feel if you knew that Candidate B once kicked a stray cat over a fence, took money from an organization that refers to cats as "feral" and "unloveable", hates Garfield, and won't support the CATS Acts?
Okay, thank you for your response.
Now, having heard those messages, would you feel more inclined to support Candidates A, C, b, or D?
Houston had not only like 100+ days of 100 degree weather, but we were also entering emergency water management conservation AND fire danger all over texas. It also doesn't help that Houston has a chemical plant explosion every other month. The idea that the economy and climate are separate it's so unhinged. Who is her opponent?
Pervez Agwan is the one to watch
thank you. I might
for the dark horse. But I fucking hate this system so much.
I see you're complaining about climate change again.
Have you personally spent your entire life recycling everything you can, composting all organic materials you touch, eliminating all red meat intake, planting multiple trees per year, growing your own vegetable and fruit garden in the backyard of your house which you own, avoiding purchasing any plastics despite everything being packaged as such, not buying anything anything beyond your extreme basic necessities, never flying in an airplane for any reason, preferring to keep anything broken and virtually unusable instead of replacing it since repairing it is either unavailable or too expensive, and only riding ebikes or only driving Teslas to save the environment?
No? Then you're the real problem and you can't complain.
growing your own vegetable and fruit garden in the backyard of your house which you own,
What's funny is I started doing that years ago less for the reduced carbon footprint of growing stuff that actually thrives in my local climate compared to buying produce from a grocer and more as a zen-finding exercise so [redacted]
gardening is cool mainly bc it encourages people to eat plants but for most foods the carbon footprint impact of growing locally is basically nothing
methane from rice
wut
edit:
Flooded rice produces methane
still wut
As in a natural wetland, flooding a rice field cuts off the oxygen supply from the atmosphere to the soil, which results in anaerobic fermentation of soil organic matter. Methane is a major end product of anaerobic fermentation. It is released from submerged soils to the atmosphere by diffusion and ebullition and through roots and stems of rice plants. Recent global estimates of emission rates from wetland rice fields range from 20 to 100 Tg/yr (IPCC 1992), which corresponds to 6-29% of the total annual anthropogenic methane emission.

oh rad thanks
technically yes but the total amount is so tiny it's not even worth discussing
even the beef isn't worth discussing compared to the CO2 emitted from driving and doing a bullshit job
I don't see any cows out there drilling for oil.
All the small farmers are going out of business and the corporations are moving in with their AI powered sustainable drone systems, stop swallowing the anti farmer propaganda.
Let's put the oil barons out of business before we put our farmers out of business.
This rhetoric is how you end up getting your daily food rations off Musky and his sustainable lab meat. Consolidation food production is not going to work out great for you average human, VC money funding grassroots left right and centre in this scene also, it's all propaganda.
jesse what the fuck are you talking about
If you can't comprehend what i said then the message wasn't for you.
You think methane emissions from cattle magically reduces because they're grown on a small farm? Our atmosphere doesn't give a shit if the greenhouse gases came from a factory farm or an artisanal homestead, it's all the same in the end.
it is all the same in the end
huh?
Think about what i said, it helps with understanding and stop you from falling for bullshit.
composting all organic materials you touch,
oil executives are made out of backwards chiral proteins, probably aliens
I mean you should be trying to do some of these as much as possible...
big "oh you claim to care about animals but you still eat cheese then you're the problem" vibes, like... yes, that is actually correct?
Yeah, true that these things are good to do, but expecting all or even most of these things from working class or poor people is unrealistic at this point.
And realistically they would be better able to do these things and the environment would be better if the social economy was organized differently, which once again leads us to criticizing Capitalism as the principle issue instead of blaming individuals surviving and living within their material conditions, so I think people who blame individuals but are unwilling to support any shift in economy or politics are more to blame than people just trying to get by and doing what they can with what they are given.
Even if they did all that, they'd wipe out all that carbon-savings by having a single kid in the US.
ever wished there were a way to score free meat, do good for oppressed people, eliminate animal cruelty AND save the environment at the same time?
don't look up "how many cops are there" and do not harvest the carbon negative pork!
Oooh saving this one, thank you
