I think when if it would have been evacuated in time there would still be news coverage

People just love reading and therefore clicking stories that tell them that electric cars are bad and they should just continue buying gas powered vehicles instead of considering a change

Same as with that tanker that burned out on the coast of the Netherlands with some EVs on board

A lot of stories where covering it in a way that implied the fire was because of those EVs when in the end the level where they were stored was among the very few that was still intact - but that didn’t make the news…

I mean the effects of climate engineering as pretty much impossible to predict completely. I’m not sure you can even rule out for sure that it’d effect Africa if they did some climate engineering in Alaska.

Even if you have most of the factors - with those kinds of things there’s always an off-chance that it interrupt bird migration and that fucks up something else and then suddenly it has an impact on air temperatures and a lot of stuff changes.

Relying on climate engineering instead of trying to prevent the catastrophe that’s coming is just stupid…

Es sind ja auch immer explizit nur die gemeint die man nicht persönlich kennt weil man im direkten Kontakt feststellt dass die alle doch nicht so böse sind wie immer behauptet wird.

Deswegen sind die Wahlquoten von rassisten ja auch fast immer dort am höchsten wo es die wenigsten Ausländer gibt die einem die eigenen Vorurteile widerlegen können

The Venn diagram of “people that like Elon musk and want to support him with their money” and “people that consider buying an electric car for environmental reasons” is having very little overlap in recent years

Good

How many of those are regulars at shops selling unwrapped products and are aware of the fact that plastic being light makes it way cheaper to transport than glass or any replacement and that a supermarket without plastic wrapping would have way less different products or massively higher prices?

It’s like the whole “it’s only 8 companies doing climate change” thing that I feel people like to think it’s easy to change this stuff without it making their lives harder but when someone actually does what they wanted end they realize the ramifications of it they complain.

I’m all for that as well but I’m also ready for a really hard period until companies figure out ways around it without creating another 20 different chains where you can give back reusable containers

The problem is that if a country treats money as unlimited and without a cost then inflation will mirror that and people in that country will lose their savings, their job will not pay for their bills anymore and so on

It’s not as simple as “just spend more”…

The problem is that “both” isn’t a valid option unless a country has unlimited finances.

Otherwise you have to decide on what’s the most feasible option and then renewables win big time

I sometimes feel as if the current push for atomic is from the fossil-lobby as they are aware that it either works and they get 10-20 more years to sell oil until the reactors are built - and even if it doesn’t work out it still will slow down rollout of renewables

If you have 100 billion to spend on energy producing you have to choose if you want to go all-in with one source or split it up which would move the end of fossil fuels Back further

Not to mention having to buy the radioactive materials from dictatorships and having problems to cool down the reactors with rising temperatures and rivers running dry

I just don’t see how atomic isn’t a huge gamble that can backfire hard (and I’m not even talking about catastrophic events like Fukushima)

I don’t think it’s serious - they just know that they have their right wing supporters safe already and try to gain more votes in the center by looking more moderate

Yeah. Hamas is using the citizens of Gaza as human shield from day one. It was impossible to fight this way with 0 casualties. I was only asking how that person imagined an appropriate response if even a single dead person was too much.

Bibi should be gone today rather than tomorrow - but Israel clearly had a right to respond to what Hamas did and the fact that Hamas was playing dirty all the time makes it impossible to respond in a way that doesn’t cause civil deaths.

So the appropriate reaction to what Hamas did would’ve been what exactly? Waving the white flag and rolling over?

What would swapping servers achieve?

So no USP any more?

Fast so als hätte man ein Thema nur mega aufgebaut um damit populistisch Stimmung zu machen

Yeah they are not part of the very expensive luxury lineup for sure - but their point of sale is pretty similar imho

Boss, LV, Gucci - all those “Luxus” brands tbh.

Their only selling factor is that they are too expensive for really poor people to buy.

Their quality is medium at best

TBF the “flying empty trains around the world” were different companies that only bought the planes and had to adhere to stupid laws that would void their plane spots if they didn’t take off.

That’s like making Toyota responsible if a Toyota fanclub decides that you need to make 100k kilometers a year to stay in the club

Both are horrible but in this case it’s not useful to throw both in the same basket

Seems to me like it’s just the only place that’s actually enforcing the law and not treating the drivers as if they are untouchable

The police is actually doing their job? What’s the story here?

Or is it just a car-brain-argument about being held accountable at all is a bad thing?
