The mistake being made about Meta is to say they're just doing this to make conservatives happy. They've been doing that a decade+. Removing fact checkers and bringing back political content means there will be more stuff that gets more people mad which creates more engagement. Growth at all costs.

An Indian initiative to preserve vanishing groundwater by delaying the annual sowing of rice has led to a dramatic worsening of air pollution in New Delhi and the surrounding region.
How a change in rice farming unexpectedly made India’s air so much worse
No one anticipated that an initiative to save groundwater by delaying the annual rice season would aggravate northern India’s already miserable air pollution.

Can’t stop thinking about how many Americans voted for Trump because of inflation, and how how US oil companies illegally colluded to fix prices — which sent inflationary shock waves through the economy — and how Trump is expected to end the investigation on their actions.

The Canada Pension Plan is actively undermining its net-zero pledge by committing over $3 billion (so far) this year to new coal, oil, gas and pipeline projects. That’s our money torching the planet and threatening our retirements.

The rest of our peers are making progress to cut emissions while Canada is uniquely behind. We need to dispense with this idea emissions reductions are too difficult to do fast & the idea international climate diplomacy is pointless. It's working elsewhere.

The thing that radicalized people in the last 4 years more than anything else was the disruption of their consumer habits by the pandemic and what Trump’s cabinet appointments really call to mind for me is how many people are going to be sent over the edge by no longer having access to their treats
