This is one of the reasons I try to point out that there's a generational conflict. A lot of leftists act like this isn't happening, but, well, it is. I noticed it some time ago with relation to BP: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/may/20/revealed-bps-close-ties-with-the-uk-government

Conflicting commitments? Examining pension funds, fossil fuel assets and climate policy in the organisation for economic co-operation and development (OECD) - ScienceDirect

The 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change implicitly calls for leaving 80% of coal, 50% of gas and 33% of oil reserves underground. This paper studies the scarcely addressed relationship between investors like pension funds and climate policy implementation by addressing the question: what is the extent of pension fund investments in the fossil fuel sector, what is the range of actions that pension funds take to address environmental issues, and what does this suggest about pension fund commitments to ambitious climate targets through leaving fossil fuels underground? A small sample of pension funds alone manages at least €79 billion in liquid fossil fuel assets, suggesting that OECD pension funds may jointly manage between €238–828 billion. Sustainability reports reveal that pension funds engage in five actions to implement climate policies: 1) divestment; 2) direct engagement; 3) carbon footprint calculations; 4) investing in ‘green’ alternatives; and 5) engaging in climate-oriented coalitions. However, their use of these actions is so far ineffective and counterproductive to taming the fossil fuel sector. Pension funds are not fully committed to leaving fossil fuels underground, which de facto renders them not yet committed to meeting ambitious climate targets. Forthcoming policies must target investors like pension funds to improve the prospects of meeting such targets and protect vulnerable countries from inheriting the risks of stranded assets.

It would be a moral win, which is still needed. Motivational :)

Teleportation would also be cool. We could teleport concentrated carbon to outer space or somewhere deep underground.

I see that more as a statement of intent, a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Such marks are an element of the so-called mensur, a combative masculinity ritual practiced in fencing fraternities. Also known as academic fencing, combatants battle with a sharp blade, leaving parts of their faces unprotected. Rosenkranz has belonged to such a fraternity since his youth.

Oh, yeah, this fits with the Nazi & related fascist fantasies about being descended from "knights" if not nobility. It's all about the LARP.

You're missing the point.

Ah, so like Tesla's shtick.

Butter, milk, beef, chocolate and coffee accounted for about 40 per cent of the increase in food prices over the past year, despite making up barely a tenth of the typical household food basket, according to the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) research group.

Switching to a plant-based pattern solves the top 3.

It's possibly everywhere it's needed. Cities are not built for cars.

Cities and cars are natural enemies, it's an unstable equilibrium. In the end, and it will end, either cars are expelled or cities become clusters of car garages and parking lots.

Buddies of European conservatives? The Fascist Lobby? McFascism franchise?

fascism hiding in a wellness costume.

I don't get sad, I get angry.

Skip cars, re-urbanize with public transit, rails, bicycles (electric too).

Time for Londoners to learn about traffic cones.

If you want to save the changes, you are creating a modified PDF file. If you don't want to save the changes, don't save them when you close the editor (a lot of browsers could do this, aside from open PDF editors). There are ways to overwrite file changes too, to reset files to their original.

If you are concerned for the original, use backup copies.

No, I can spot bait.

We're already circling around +1.5℃. I'd bet on +2.0℃ by 2040.
