As we are several decades into an equally serious—or perhaps a far greater—catastrophe with globally rising temperatures—in part to blame by human activities that are now hindered because of this new immediate emergency.
I love that it took a global virus outbreak for these companies to take these actions that they should have taken long since in an effort against the climate disaster.
- RobRivera 7y agoI don't know where to begin with this opinion and commentary so I'll just say how I feel. Finding solace of potential human loss of life through a lens of reduced carbon footprint is tonedeaf to those who have lost loved ones to this disaster, and furthermore alienates an enriching dialogue between climate deniers by providing a scapegoat to keep heads in sand. "Look at those climate cry babies, celebrating loss of life"
- runarberg 7y agoThe numbers don’t really add up though since the climate disaster is causing few orders of magnitude more deaths then the corona virus outbreak. I find it great that companies and governments are taking actions to reduce harm (like I said, I love it), but these actions should have been taken long ago to prevent a far greater harm being caused by another disaster.
