"I hope this medal makes up for 2024 being the year of highest oil production in US history. Which happened in defiance of all the climate science you've been trying to tell us about. You know, as part of the years of science education this award honors."
This is just depressing..
I hope this medal makes up for 2024 being the year of highest oil production in US history.
i'm actually curious to know how it compares to global production. With the war in ukraine and what not, kicked a HUGE export market right off a cliff.
I really wonder what industry y'all work in that you think the entire energy grid and vehicle fleet can be remade in 4 years.
Don't worry protest voters, we may be able to start from scratch again in another 4 years.
I see Lemmy's famous misreading is happening. I want environmental policy. But I know things take time. People that think everything can be remade in 4 years don't know how big industry is and how much work it takes.
4 years? Climate scientists have been warning the world about climate change for about half a century, and urgently for a few decades. Bill Nye specifically has videos going back at least 13 years.
Don't just blame the 2017-2021 Trump presidency either for the current high, if that is what you mean by your "reworking the energy grid/vehicles in 4 years" argument. US oil production was at its lowest since about 1950 under Bush Jr. then climbed again dramatically through Obama's 2 terms. Then the Biden presidency started after a year of "low" production (that was actually higher than anything pre-2017) before climbing again steeply during the last 4 years. This is a problem of both parties, and the worst of it has happened in the last 13 years of which 9 were under a Dem president.
you and me both my friend, you and me both.
People, throughout all of the cool things they have done throughout history, are also the single stupidest organism to ever fucking exist and i cannot express my rage over how stupid people can be without being banned.
So, please, random lemmy users reading this, reactionary engagement is bad, use critical thinking, and don't use quippy retorts. They don't actually do anything.
People just want to watch the world burn, and so do i, not because i think my version of the world is better, but because it brings me enjoyment when i get to see people suffer the results of their choices. I will do nothing to stop you, and laugh all the way down. The world is in your hands my friend, choose wisely.
I was Biden my time, but the time is Nye.
And one day, when they feel you've paid enough, they'll give you a medal and serve you salmon and potato salad as well

It will be for them.
