I don't doubt it. They might be laughing and ignoring what they're listening to as they count their next set of bribes, but their listening.

The growing number of lawsuits and treaty revisements to increase actual climate change action gives me hope that humanity might just make it.

I dunno. Have you seen the resale prices on some of those tractors, even when used? I sure want to steal one and hawk it. (I would never actually, just, I get the temptation)

Almost always follow the money. Often the mayors offer insane tax breaks or land finances or something to attract the companies. Ostensibly to bring in more jobs and boost their own economy. Most do not consider the environmental portion, definitely companies don't.

Same, the first 13" colour e-ink that doesn't cost more than a single limb I'm so getting if I can swing it. I read digit comic books so much and having it as e-ink is my dream.

Hopefully the mod community writes an AI removal mod quick. Seems like something they'd do. And I was just about to stand up a server for my friends dangit

That's the part that I'm banking on, that 12% has already happened. That's 12% they've lost out on in the short present term. I'm hoping they see that and decide they want that money back. I know they're probably doing a cost benefit analysis of cost to combat climate change versus potential lost GDP. But still, I'll take any arrow in the quiver against them.

I need to get more, my last two plastic spatulas broke so it's time to do it guilt free. All the wood.

We have a large window in our living room the cats love but got way too hot. Planted grape vines to cut down on the light back there so we can keep the curtains open but still let the cats see birds.

On the actual "tech" side we've been going the opposite of new things to reduce usage. Wax paper wraps, older wooden everything where possible (cutting boards, furniture, wicker laundry baskets) most of which we got used from my wife's family, those all will get recycled somehow when their time comes.

I'm hoping when our water heater finally goes we can get one of the new heat pump models. Reduce some AC needs and not need a humidifier in the basement (which I try to run as little as possible already).

I'm so jealous :( we just got new windows to improve the insulation rating. I'd love to open them and do the same but I legit start having medical issues over 73° which we hit most days in the summer.

A recent study (still in peer review phase last I saw but the people who wrote it and good work) showed that the 1C rise in temperatures vs pre-industrial times (which we're already past) lowered GDP by 12% or more globally. The current 3C that many climate scientists are warning we're on track for could lower GDP by 50% or more.

Not following the Paris accords or stricter is actually going to hit stockholders hard if the study is accurate.

Thanks for taking the time to list links!
