- Noaidi 10mo agoAh...remember the days of 350.org? How cute that seems now. Do you all realize how catastrophic this is?
- Workaccount2 10mo agoWhen it actually snowed in winter? Yes, in fact I do remember that.
- Noaidi 10mo agoWeather is not climate.
- Workaccount2 10mo agoOver many years, yes, that is in fact climate.
- Capricorn2481 10mo agoNot in the manner or scale you're suggesting.
- timerol 10mo agoYou're gonna have to locate yourself for this comment to make any sense. Plenty of places still get snow regularly in winter, and nothing humans can do will change that

- jermaustin1 10mo agoNice strawman :) SF NIMBY aren't environmentalists, they are obstructionists. Now for a true scotsmanism - actual environmentalists overwhelmingly support nuclear power, expansion of wind and solar, and geothermal where it is easy to get to, and not too destructive to drill for. I've not surveyed the population that travels to burningman, but I doubt they are all against sustainable energy, but I've never been, so I don't know. Environmentalist is a discipline, not a personality type.
- renewiltord 10mo agoStrawman? Hmm, let's just do a Google. The top US environmental organizations: 1. Sierra Club 2. WWF 3. 350 4. Nature Conservancy 5. Environmental Defense Fund Okay, now let's do "$org nuclear energy": https://www.sierraclub.org/nuclear-free https://www.sierraclub.org/nuclear-free https://wwfeu.awsassets.panda.org/downloads/wwf_position_statement_nuclear_power.pdf https://wwfeu.awsassets.panda.org/downloads/wwf_position_sta... https://350.org/solutions-series-nuclear/ https://350.org/solutions-series-nuclear/ https://www.nature.org/content/dam/tnc/nature/en/documents/ChartingaCleanEnergyFuture2023.pdf https://www.nature.org/content/dam/tnc/nature/en/documents/C... (pro-nuclear, these must be the only Real Environmentalists) The EDF opposes nuclear energy projects in practice https://environmentalprogress.org/edf https://environmentalprogress.org/edf but is otherwise generally ambivalent in statements Therefore, I have to say that a quick survey of the data shows that I am correct. Feel free to use an LLM agent to replicate this human analysis. Environmentalists appear to be like Communists. Supposedly in favour of some idea, but it appears strangely that they keep doing the opposite thing. I'm sure Real Environmentalism Hasn't Been Tried Yet.
- ge96 10mo agowhat a beautiful line, look at it go up
- zobzu 10mo agono change in trend though. and cheaper gas is basically trump policies. i think we should ban gas and let other countries take over (with gas) /s
- jeffbee 10mo agoCheaper gas is a thing Trump says but basically nothing the administration has done is leading to cheap gas. It's the inevitable result of demand declines and decades of domestic production capacity increases. Interestingly one policy Trump actually controls: he has cut the rate of adding stocks to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in half. From Dec '24 to Dec '25 they added only 19 million barrels, compared to the 40 million barrels added in the prior year, despite Trump campaigning on filling the SPR "right to the top". The last, and only, administration that has topped off the SPR was Obama.
- t-3 10mo agoWell, he has been looking like he's going to invade Venezuala for a little while now. If they do a Syria-esque takeover of the oil-producing regions there could possibly be cheaper gas for wherever that gas would get shipped.
- Arnt 10mo agoDon't hold your breath. Those fields need investment.
- piva00 10mo agoNo change in trend is part of the problem, no change or accelerating is exactly the whole problem...
