I read somewhere that the boiling frog thing is total bullshit. They'll totally jump out once the water gets too hot.

you fucking fuckwits, smog is visual pollution.

I'm old enough to remember people losing their shit at China over the 2008 Beijing Olympics drowning in a toxic cloud. The international outcry was such that the state spent a decade cleaning all that shit up (which produced its own wave of "Has Chinese Eco-fascism Gone Woke?!" screamer articles in turn).

But their rate of pollution has been falling steadily for the last two decades, in no small part because the state wasn't fighting an uphill battle against corporate slobs in white doctor's coats trying to tell everyone that smog wasn't happening/was good aktuly.

Meanwhile, US expenditures on lobbying, denialism, and greenwashing stretch into the billions of dollars annually. And its not hard to understand why, when the ROI is $7T/year on the international stage.

Windmills are a whole lot better than burning coal, but aren't perfect. Recyling the blades after their 20 year lifespan is a nightmare.

Smog is like vaccines. People don't see the smog/disease anymore, so they think they don't need the protections/vaccines.

ur mom gay

Ha ha your mom suck me good and hard through my jorts

Man I recently got a 2010 Prius off an auction. Very cheap purchase and it works great already getting savings on gas. But I did notice people have the urge to want to pass or take over when I'm in it even though I'm definitely going fast enough. Funny enough it doesn't happen when I'm in my Miata going the same speed.

Literally children who want big loud vroom vroom trucks with lots of chrome.

my favorite fun fact is that one time that one 16 year tried to roll coal on bicyclists, and then just ran them over and killed them.

certain cancers in areas surrounding the plant did rise

just a note to add that if you start checking the population for something routinely like thyroid cancer... the rate that you find it goes up. This is why the detected cancer rate increasing is not considered a cause for alarm.

those are some smooth pits

Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, the editor has been fired and replaced with a stoned dog.

Yet even accounting for all of that, including Chernobyl and Fukushima, nuclear is still 1000x safer than coal and as safe as wind and solar.

Bbbeeee aaaafffffrrrraaaiiiiiddddddddddddd!1!!1!!!1!!!!1!!1!!!!!1!!!

C'mon. Chernobyl was like a drunk driver bypassing the blow device, and now you want to ban all cars everywhere for everyone and everything for eternity. Just to replace it with horses that kill even more people.
