A compulsive liar lied again? Shock, horror.

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 21 points 22 hours ago

Yet, the word "lie" has still not graced the pages of the NYT.

every traditional paper of record in this country has lost credibility

[-] randomname01@feddit.nl 2 points 21 hours ago

Not like I disagree, but how would you even go about proving that Trump is a liar and not just a fucking idiot? Like, I fully believe he is a liar, but if a paper wants to call him a liar they’d want proof that he knows what he says is untrue.

Then again, even if they had proof there’s a decent chance they wouldn’t call him a liar, because the need to maintain “civility” is far more important to them than almost anything else. Cut a liberal and all that.

The idea of civility, a mere whiff of an intellectual fart, is in fact more important to them than actual human lives.

This at the end of the day is what I mean when I insult a centrist by calling them a liberal.

It is an utterly hollow worldview built out of all the easy nice things that divides people by providing a corrupted, deeply incomplete vision of a better future and then collapsing it into cynicism, at which point the liberal throws up their hands and becomes a good little conservative (though they still might call describe themselves as on the left for decades).

You see, the pollution is beyond the environment, it's not in the environment.

Any article that begins with Trump says/Trump said can be ignored as brainrot.

[-] Franklin@lemmy.ca 1 points 15 hours ago

what, are you telling me that Donald Trump, the current president of the United States, lied? Stop the presses!

“Trump says penguins are not real, unicorns can fly, and if you eat enough McDonald’s and drive a Tesla you will be immortal”

What’s the point in doing this and complaining that no one outside of American buys American cars?

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 1 points 22 hours ago

The second part really wasn't needed, NYT, but thanks. Unless it's a standard now to add that to the end of anything he says.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
