I don't get it either, as I've previously said the guy is not perfect but in his lifetime has probably done more to promote the natural world than anyone else. I don't really care if he made good money doing it.

one thing i enjoy about modern pop culture is how basically all shows set in Earth's future just treat climate change like a reality and don't even bother talking about it

like how the opening credits of the expanse show somebody built a huge gently caress-off wall around the statue of liberty to keep it above water, that kind of thing

I really appreciate that because reading/watching any kind of older speculative fiction where climate change isn't even mentioned and it's just assumed there's a nice upwards progression of technology/society with no brakes or it's handwaved with a simple 'technology solved it' bit just fucks with my head and makes me angry.

Department of Justice opens investigation into failed carbon-capture plant

Really it seems to be about a failure of the company than the technology which is not a shocker at all. But it also shows that "the market" won't bother with carbon capture because it's hard to make it profitable for them so lmao this owns.

we've got until 2030 for major reductions because it's all in human emissions and individual action combined with awareness campaigns will easily be enough right

surely we have time left
