Exposing #CigaretteScience: The number of #crashes on a street with 12-foot lanes is significantly higher than on streets with narrower lanes. That is the opposite of the general belief and what has been the foundation for street design and lane-width guidelines.
#BullshitJobs
Scientists can ID “the warmest year in 125,000 years” but agree not to count the emissions of #TerraForming with phosphorus bombs for single family homes, lawns, and SUVs on land whose value is raised by protected #fossilfuel shiping channels.

#CigaretteScience: data point to the conclusion that chemical recycling would support expansion of plastic production, while potentially causing unacceptable levels of environmental and social harm — as well as impacts on human health — through #emissions waste generation, energy consumption, and contaminated outputs,” the report’s authors write.

#CigaretteScience: models are “inadequate to capture deep uncertainty and extreme #risk.” They fail to incorporate “potential loss of lives and livelihoods on immense scale and fundamental transformation and destruction of our natural environment.”
a proposed law calls the bluff and sets #CCS as a requirement. In response #utilities lost their absolute minds and are fighting like hell to oppose the #technology they once supported, back when it was a hollow promise used to #greenwash

Attached: 1 image G'day everyone, here's a brand new post for you to enjoy - about why it's really bad that carbon removal - a technology that was always vulnerable to becoming a tool for climate delay - is showing all the early signs of joining technologies like CCS, fossil hydrogen and synthetic fuels in doing more harm than good. Namely: the rapid proliferation of fossil fuel partnerships in the very very explicit context of enabling ongoing emissions, alongside the indiscriminate sale of carbon credits to whoever, and for whatever purpose. So many technologies that end up as greenwashing cudgels do have some narrow, important applications - but this gets absolutely buried underneath a tsunami of bad-faith, climate-delaying rhetoric. Have a read - it's an interesting space and I've been chipping away at this piece in my free time for a few weeks now. If you enjoy it, please share! https://ketanjoshi.co/2023/09/03/carbon-removals-default-destiny-is-playing-out-as-expected-but-it-can-be-changed/
It’s important—in this year that has seen #globalwarming come fully to #life—to describe accurately what’s happening on #ourplanet. And one key thing is: the number of places #humans can safely live is now shrinking. Fast. The size of the board on which we can play the great game of human #civilization is getting smaller.

30 #carboncapture projects have been proposed in Louisiana spurred by federal #subsidies and supercharged by increased incentives in the #InflationReductionAct intended to address #globalwarming (to) undermine efforts to phase out #FossilFuels.
