NYC rules for coal-, wood-fired pizzerias – must cut carbon emissions up to 75%
- m0oncake 3y agoFrom what I've seen of NYC they have much bigger issues than this. The article mentions a city official said under 100 restaurants would be affected (which should always be taken with a grain of salt, especially from one in NYC) but the carbon emissions from less than a 100 restaurants making pizza has to be immeasurable compared to the many other sources of pollution in NYC and worldwide contributing to climate change which they refuse to address. Seems like another way of trying to justify the bureaucracy funded by that $106Bn a year budget and gouge even more money from NYC residents. I'm sure it would be much better spent literally anywhere else.
- sp332 3y agoI think the headline and the first half of the article are just... wrong? https://heated.world/p/climate-activists-are-not-coming https://heated.world/p/climate-activists-are-not-coming which links to the relevant city record https://www.nyc.gov/assets/dcas/downloads/pdf/cityrecord/cityrecord-06-23-23.pdf https://www.nyc.gov/assets/dcas/downloads/pdf/cityrecord/cit... which talks about particulate emissions, not carbon emissions. And the Post article switches to talking about particulates halfway through.
