Tendency to want to get in the weeds and do the work. The real job of an exec is managing people, and anything that distracts from that make the company worse.
For example, I knew a founder who skipped a meeting with potential investors because there was a bug he was figuring out. He fixed the problem, and he did it better than any other employees could have, but that’s not where he was needed.
our dependency on fossil fuels hasn’t changed
What is this crap? EVs are all over the place and so is renewable energy. Emmissions are falling. We haven’t opened a new coal plant in a generation.
And ok, we keep driving emissions down, what about biodiversity loss across the planet? How many plants and animals are currently on the brink of extinction?
Ok? It’s bad and we’re working to fix it. That’s very different than “we’re all doomed and should stop doing anything”.
Where is the international agreement to help modernize these countries with renewable energies? Who’s going to pay for it?
Greenpeace spreads propaganda? Are you referring to nuclear? Because I don’t think nuclear alone would have prevented this, there’s still transportation, industry, and developing nations that wouldn’t be able to use nuclear.
The effort is not enough…yet. As long as we don’t start backsliding, we’re seeing an increase in effort year over year.
the inevitable collapse
THIS is the grifter bullshit. “Don’t bother acting, it’s too late”. Fossil fuel doomer propaganda.
Oh neat! I’m checking them out now. I especially like the podcast, I’ve been getting deep into podcasts recently.
I never understood why some people are so gung-ho about podcasts until I started listening to a couple of good ones. It’s like the TVTropes effect, you’re listening to a good podcast and then they have a guest on who also has their own podcast so you start listening to them, and then it snowballs…
One podcast I recently found is called Climate Now and it’s a great briefer on the nuts and bolts of climate policy and actions.
Still dumb. Technology is actively saving us right now, as the link I posted shows.
Well for one, I definitely don’t watch YouTube videos that should be a brief article.
It’s worth it to call out shills so they can’t spew their bullshit uncontested. This isn’t reddit where a barrage of downvotes hides them. They need active pushback.
I voted for blue in San Francisco and they reduced carbon emissions by 50% despite population growth of 12% and GDP growth of 226%.
I voted for blue in California and they invested $54 billion into transit.
I voted for blue in the US Government and they gave us the single greatest, most ambitious program addressing climate change in the history of the world.
I dunno, but the currency should be rubles
US emissions have been decreasing since 2007. Not just on a per-capita basis, but on a total basis.
China’s emissions may have peaked this year. If not this year, soon.
Just because you don’t see effort, that doesn’t mean there is no effort. It just means you haven’t been looking.
What the fuck are you even trying to say here? More solar panels increases greenhouse gasses??? Loony Tunes
Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?
Every exec I’ve known was either a good people manager, a founding member, has asaloads of money, or some combination thereof.
Some of them were geniuses, but that actually made them worse at their jobs.
We’ve broken records almost every year for the past few decades, but hopefully this is the end of it: https://www.vox.com/climate/24139383/climate-change-peak-greenhouse-gas-emissions-action
Haha, I got it! It’s not anywhere in the settings at all, lol. Like a hidden option. You have to go to the url “https://fedia.io/d/[instance domain name]”, like “https://fedia.io/d/lemmy.ml”. Then it will give you the ability to block, and that block will be reflected in your settings page.
So I actually forgot that I also made a fedia.io account back when I was trying multiple instances…there were literally like 100 people on fedia.io at the time so I stuck with kbin, but then kbin kinda imploded so I switched to lemmy…
We have the same issue at fedia as lemmy.cafe - single overworked administrator.
I do see comments that say it’s possible to block instances on mbin, but I don’t see any way to do that on fedia.
That’s accurate
