Rubber tire dust is also toxic to ecosystems, sometimes more than the plastic dust version. As the articles suggest, additives are also a problem, but additives matter to the integrity and qualities of the tires. Best to get rid of cars entirely.

What's the "Remind Me" bot here? +2.7 ℃ looks doable by 2050.

How Climate Change Misinformation and Apathy Helped Trump Win (sentientmedia.org)
 

The Bottom Line

Despite widespread consensus on the reality of climate change, misinformation about both the causes and solutions for climate change took hold during the 2024 presidential election. As this type of misinformation continues to impact public discourse, the need for greater media literacy becomes crucial, particularly to counteract the influence of political leaders and foreign-backed campaigns on voter behavior.

Companies are buying up cheap carbon offsets − data suggest it may be more about greenwashing than helping the climate in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

It's even worse. The places that sell carbon offsets are often poorer parts of the world. The selling is essentially a privatization of carbon sinks. As is tradition, these privatizations are very under-priced. Worse still, as they're selling carbon sinks, they will not have those carbon sinks for themselves in the future if they choose to "develop" and emit more GHGs... they'll have to buy carbon credits from some other fools and the prices are not likely to be lower.

It's all very silly.

Wasn't she a huge disappointment when she unilaterally suspended/deferred congestion pricing supposedly after ~~divine intervention~~meeting ~~an angel~~ some random person in a restaurant? What a piece of shit.

Technically, instead of bananas it could be feed crops.

The article is paywalled, so good luck with it. Isn't "Lemon de" on the conservative carbrain side?

And, yes, speed limits need to be enforced somehow for all motorized vehicles within their contexts. Sidewalks are not for riding fast and bike paths aren't for riding fast either. Speed limiters are most definitely needed, as is a lot of education. Civilization is 100% not ready for "sharable" scooters either.

Mapped: How 6 Billionaire Family Fortunes Fund Project 2025 (www.desmog.com)
 

For decades, oil and gas magnate Charles G. Koch and his late brother David fought vigorously for environmental deregulation, including by supporting groups that sow doubt about the science of manmade climate change. Foundations linked to Koch gave at least $9.6 billion to 15 Project 2025 groups since 2020. But four of the lesser-known families — Bradley, Scaife, Seid, and Uihlein — gave even more, and all six family fortunes helped to fund Project 2025 groups that have denied the science of manmade climate change.

"Shocking": Bird-flu infected cattle dumped at California roadside (www.newsweek.com)

These cows, confirmed to have been infected with avian influenza (H5N1), were left exposed without any warning signs or biosecurity precautions. The footage was deemed too graphic for publication.

"What was so shocking was that there was so little signage around anywhere telling the public about avian influenza and warning them of the biosecurity risks," Heath told Newsweek.

Photos of dead cattle show bird flu is overwhelming Tulare County. How did the virus get in?

spoilerhttps://www.kvpr.org/health/2024-10-11/photos-of-dead-cattle-show-bird-flu-is-overwhelming-tulare-county-how-did-the-virus-get-in

This news article adds photos, more context, and local details about how the virus came into the biggest "dairy" region in the US.

The cow pharmers are throwing the dead cows on the side the road like trash because that's where it's most convenient for the trash "rendering" truck to collect the bodies. It's not really surprising that they're ignoring biosecurity. What is important is that they're failing to contain this epidemic.
