SweetChilliJesusBrazil: Amazon deforestation drops 34% in first six months under Lula
That’s not nearly enough or fast enough though, the planet is dying now
Yeah but seems that no one gives a fuck. US and China are still the greatest polluters and don’t seem to care, Europe besides still seeming to want to do something, is not ready to press this both especially now with the Ukraine war so, yeah, we are pretty fucked up.
Europe is building coal plants rn
I just forgot this, this is just the top of the cake
nexusbandForget it again, because it’s utter BS. Germany hasn’t built a new coal plant since 2007. Datteln 4 was also planned to have a CCS (Carbon Capture System) - there where however massive protests against CCS in 2009 and in 2011 there was a new law…but it was too late and the CCS technology was bought by Canada. Austria outlawed CO2 Storage completely.
DreamerOfImprobableDreamsGermany is building coal plants, pretty much the rest of Europe is transitioning away from fossil fuels at a breakneck pace. (And to be fair, Germany's also investing heavily in clean energy and has made huge progress on that front. They just made the incredibly stupid decision to shut down their remaining nuclear plants before they had enough clean energy sources to make up for the power difference, which is why they're temporarily turning to coal.)
Germany is not building new coal plants, ffs. Stop this bullshit and inform yourself before that.
Wait, really? That's fantastic news! I guess I mixed it up with them increasing coal consumption / expanding existing coal mines to make up for the nuclear shutdowns.
