Is this another diversion/distraction by the fossil fuel industry to allow them to continue business as usual for as long as possible?
Even if it is highly effective, wouldn't they then argue that climate change is "solved" and we can go back to releasing CO2 as much as we want? Further, would they then underwrite astroturfing campaigns to shame people who don't accept that the problem is solved as never-satisfied malcontents who should be ignored?
- netsharc 4y agoFeels like society at large wants to continue business as usual. Electric cars are still super wasteful compared to public transport, tonnes of metal and battery that the majority of time sit around idle and a minority of time transport one person. I saw an article yesterday where Clear Channel was defending the placement of digital street-level billboards, but hey "We try as much as we can to use renewable energy to power these things.". Looking forward to seeing those aerosol flights all over the planet, as humanity get desperate.
