Why are there always anti-nuclear and articles about industries that account for ">15%" of of greenhouse emissions in the "green" community? The world burned more coal last year then it has in any previous year, yet I never see articles about the coal industry? I exclusively see articles about how if just 90% of the most powerless people in the world made their life measurably worse, thing it "would help." Why the fuck aren't we talking about the other systemic 85% of greenhouse gasses? Why do we need to destroy human culinary culture in order to preserve corporate profits?
You never see articles about the coal industry? I'm just gonna call bullshit on this one
Link one? I see one thread that references the "fossil fuel industry," which coal is certainly a part of. But honestly a comparison of the number of articles about coal vs agricultural green house gases on lemmy doesn't really matter. But I do get the sense that cost and individual action are are given too much weight in the lemmy green community.
Why "vs"?
Literally no one is saying "stop eating beef and keep coal plants open"
Germany is.
