Exactly. It's not uplifting at all. It's quite disastrous actually.

They started to introduce a limit of CSF usage in the 1980s, a ban in the 90s that would be fulfilled by 2000 in industrialized countries and the ban to be fulfilled by 2010 in developing countries.

….er, so how is this uplifting? Also not really news…basically what companies do anyways…very similar, if not the same as just buying carbon credits?

It's okay to be briefly happy about something. It doesn't make you a bad person.

May you still be in operation by then. I do imagine your owner wearing a one piece aluminium shiny suit though.

most likely, I don’t think there’s any separation between the people selling your oil and the people buying it either, the only colour both sides care about is the colour of money

I don't believe there isn't money from UAE etc being funneled towards anti-climate change propaganda. It's all about getting the people to not care, so they can vote for politicians who don't care

It could like that family guy clip where you say this but then government officials reading this are laughing their asses off because it's exactly the case. You never know these days. When stuff like Epsteins Island can be hidden from the public, anything can be

Well I think the UAE would just point out the US should stop purchasing that fossil fuels rather than them stop selling them, that’s a bit of a stretch..
Don’t stress too much, I want saw a chart the estimated when we would achieve interplanetary colonisation versus the speed we are wrecking the planet, And we’re not even gonna come close to making it

Yeah, most charts show that they are levelling off from there and I am definitely not denying that China has to do a lot. But Fossil fuel companies are the sole holders of blame, as well as autocratic nations that use fossil fuels as their sources of income like UAE, saudi arabia and russia. Their money needs to be taken and used to replace fossil fuel usages like coal power plants and diesel based transport.
What's really depressing to me is knowing it's going to take decades from the point of "oh fuck this is the biggest issue for humanity" to actually begin to reverse emissions and I don't even know if we are there yet. I can't fucking understand the amount of climate denying bullshit showing up, probably riding on the backs of the antivaxxer crowds

That stopped the decay and began the healing process, takes a long time to heal.

To be honest, I don’t believe anything China says about what it’s doing internally anymore.
I’m just going from a chart from a Quick google search
I do agree though that industry and profit I’ve been allowed to run rampant over what’s better for the environment, it’s ridiculous.

You know what's super depressing? People acting like if china did someone it would all be okay. The secret is china is actually doing a lot, while the real polluters, fossil fuel companies, are not even being fucking thought about. Australia has actively taken steps in the past decade to help the guys contributing to climate change do it faster, because they have been controlled by murdoch funded shills to their coal industry.
For once China is actually doing something right only because it's government knows and has prepared to be a shining beacon for it's people. Fuck the CCP, but don't even bother acting like other countries (especially Australia) aren't doing fuck all about it

Yes. Additionally, we came up with a sign "?" that indicates that the immediate sentence before it was a question. It's a nifty new feature of the language, still in beta testing phase, and we would like to hear your thoughts about it.
