That it looks like a real paper is part of the joke, it’s pointing out the absurdity of companies trying to continue to emit carbon as long as they can use carbon credits, which doesn’t address the root problem. The joke of the paper is essentially; what if a researcher who was paid by a mega corp to find a ‘solution’ (which the corp would want to be greenwashing), actually naively proposed a genuine solution using corporate friendly concepts and language.

I think you might be reading a bit too much into the joke, which is the idea of a scientific paper on giving carbon credits to people conducting actual industrial sabotage, a hilarious concept in itself.

But taking it more seriously, I suppose the argument could be made that delaying large amounts of carbon from being released means reducing X amount of time that carbon in the atmosphere has to contribute to warming and potential feedback cycles. Producing something in a different factory may take time, and while the same amount would potentially be emitted at the new factory, delaying it may not be entirely useless (at least, in my uneducated intuition!).

There are too many variables to know with absolute certainty if a particular sabotage action is overall carbon positive or negative based on how much extra carbon would be emitted to fix the sabotage (depends on the type of sabotage). But if the sabotage results in that production not occurring at all due to making the whole ordeal more costly, it would likely be overall a positive carbon action.

Honestly, I’d recommend just changing the title to something less inflammatory than Veritasium’s chosen title, like “How Approval Voting is the only type that encourages democracy” or whatever you can think of, because his title is just going to get people downvoting it by assuming it encourages not voting.

Ah! I figured it wasn’t appropriate since it wasn’t news or a discussion post, and I didn’t see anyone else posting videos. Thanks for letting me know, I’ll delete this one and re-post it there instead :)

She could’ve used fossilfreefunds.org to pick something that wasn’t invested in oil or prison slave labor.

Not a terribly insightful article for people who aren’t deeply familiar with what those policies actually do, which is what I was curious about. All I could gather is that most of the country is electrified and they invested in maintaining and building paved roads.

Dried lentils are an incredibly versatile ingredient, keep forever, are cheap and healthy, and unlike dried beans, do not require overnight soaking to use in a meal.

If your state salts the roads in the winter, it’s strongly recommended to undercoat your vehicle with a coating to preserve it from rusting and shortening its useful life. Fluid Film is one of the better coatings, and is based on sheep lanolin, so it’s not toxic to the environment.

4wheel drive is nice, but tires are EVERYTHING. You absolutely cannot rely on all season tires, you MUST get proper Winter tires if your region snows heavily, or you will have a bad time.

There are now fabric snow ‘socks’ for cars that act like snow chains to get you out if a bind, which would be worth having in the trunk.

In the winter, ALWAYS bring winter rated clothing in the car along with water, a small amount of food, heavy duty blanket, and a small liquid paraffin candle for heat in the event you get stuck in a storm, or go off the road from ice.

There’s so many good options now: Eternity, Raccoon, Voyager, Jerboa, I’d give the competition a look and donate to the one you settle on.

Title: The success story of guerrilla photovoltaics as a solar punk narrative

Post Body: In recent years, photovoltaics have become widespread in Germany in a decentralized manner. The solar punk vision of a self-sufficient, more climate-friendly energy supply is getting a little closer. This is also a success story of social transformation, advanced by Do It Yourself and disobedience (both central characteristics of punk), through serious global crises, social role models and positive social contagion effects.

Alas, Simon Clark is a youtuber. If you don’t mind the lack of context, all the links to the different sources of climate news and science journals he uses are in the description.

One version of the recipe was accidentally leaked a while back. It’s not the exact formulation they sell today, but apparently it’s damn close.

FreeTube is a client that runs on your own computer, it’s not a host I can link to like Invidious was, because google effectively killed that method.

Sorry to hear his humor wasn’t to your liking.

I think it’s more for the neat factor than anything. It’d be a cool spice rack if mounted on a wall in a pantry.

Eyyy! Glad to hear it man :D

Were they more beefy and less noticeably not meat compared to the grill? Because if yes, then I’m starting to wonder if maybe beyond beef would be better in the air fryer too, since I only ever tried frying those in a cast iron pan.

He was charged with planning to lead them, though I’m not sure if that was actually true or just a charge to slap on him before the execution. He did smuggle arms for the counter-revolutionaries, but only after his comrades and friends were being arrested for counter-revolutionary activities.

despite claims otherwise to some of their less ML compatriots, this seems to have been the plan more or less from the start. Several of the revolution’s leaders were executed for not being ML-leaning.

Confirmed by William Alexander Morgan, who became disillusioned with Castro, and was then executed despite how much he’d helped the revolution.

I’m probably up to, like, 90% vegetarian these days (it’s been a long road lol).

You’re way ahead of me, I’ve been kinda stuck trying to find a good homemadd alternative to impossible, but it’s been tough to find something that passes the good enough mark.

I notice the difference with Beyond meat as well, which has a slightly unpleasant aftertaste for me too. Overall just OK. Usually don’t seek it out.

I’m surprised people at those cookouts can notice with impossible though. I haven’t tried to grill them, so maybe that makes it more pronounced? But out of my airfryer, I genuinely cannot detect anything unmeaty about them, which blew my mind the first time I tried em.

I tend to get them as a treat since they’re so much. I rarely see them on sale around here :/

The meat industry is always trying to greenwash themselves somehow, they cannot be trusted.

With how intensely serious and rapid global warming is becoming, we really don’t have time to try and make meat lower emissions, we need to move away from it now.

Though unfortunately expensive, impossible burgers and ground ‘beef’ are virtually indistinguishable from the real deal already, and IMHO taste better than real, and truly are a guilt-free-ish alternative that exists right now. I only hope demand increases so they can scale up even harder and bring prices down to the same cost as cheap beef.
