post 1:
"Maybe ten years ago or so, a consensus was mostly in place among people who know even a little about climate that no new fossil fuel infrastructure should exist, starting then"

Still awaiting signature - commonsense legislation supported by over 90% of CA voters that will make sure utilities don't pass the costs of their lobbying and image polishing into energy bills.

Offsets can't cut carbon *even in theory*

The whole point of offsets is to create permission to *not* cut carbon.

So when they don't even live up to their own standard, they are so much worse.

News that shocks no one: Carbon offsets do nothing for climate.

Carbon offsets fail to cut global heating due to ‘intractable’ systemic problems, study says

Analysis of 25 years of evidence shows most schemes are poor quality and fail to lower emissions

ONE IN THREE LOS ANGELES RESIDENTS DO NOT DRIVE

Alissa Walker @awalkerinla.bsky.social · 1d

Reflections on last week's #WeekWithoutDriving in a city that still refuses to acknowledge the existence of its nondrivers — which a comprehensive new report claims make up one-third of LA's population

One-third of Angelenos do not drive

Walking back the "car-free" games promise is unconscionable in a city where the people who don't drive are also the most vulnerable users of our streets

My favorite part of flying into O'Hare is the 30 min it takes for the plane to drive to the airport from Des Plaines

You misunderstand: this is a joke about the preposterously long taxi from runway to gate at O'Hare. But great resource!

A song from the darkness beneath
With your piano wire hair and your soul-chilling stare
And your eighty-eight black and white teeth

Went through airport security no problem today and was reminded that gov't shutdowns have been engineered to ensure ordinary activities are not disrupted so that we all don't get pissed off and demand better.
