But per capita, China is pumping way less greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere than the USA. And much of China's industry only exists to sell cheap goods to Western countries.

China also built more high-speed rail in a decade than the US has in it's entirety. Not to mention how fast they're producing electric cars and solar panels.

Then there's this guy.....

As someone who does R&D testing on plastics that are used in medical devices, I have some insight. Of course the type of plastic matters, but all plastics use carcinogenic chemicals during the manufacturing/extrusion process.

To make most plastic, a polymer resin is mixed with additives such as solvents, plasticizers, and stabilizers at high temperatures. Ideally, you want the additives to evaporate out during production so that you're left with just the newly formed plastic.

But some of these additives get trapped in tiny air pockets between polymer chains. When they're reheated, the polymer chains relax and release the volatile, carcinogenic additives into the air.

This is likely where the toxicity is coming from, not the polymer chain itself. So regardless of the type of plastic used, reheating the polymer during 3D printing will release some volatile additives.

I still don't get the reasoning behind these sort of geo engineering projects. Let's say, best case scenario, it works wonders and cools the planet significantly.

The fact that we found a "solution" to the warming temperatures will justify the actions if the corporations pumping tons of CO2 and methane into the atmosphere. If anything, it will encourage them to pollute more, as there is now a way to solve the problem.

De-growth is the only way to actually solve the problem. But since it's not profitable, it won't happen under the current economic system.

If it happens every time, it sort of becomes part of your overall routine. So at least you expect it a bit.

Enshitification intensifies

Y'all are way too productive...

And lazy doesn't necessarily mean quick either. Frozen pizza has gotta be the real winner here.

Tbf, I send out emails at the end of the day, right before I leave. I don't expect an immediate answer though. It just takes me that long to motivate myself to write that 4 line email I've been procrastinating all day.

I honestly believe blocking roads the most effective way to protest in today's society.

It's one of the few ways that's dreamed "illegal" to protest. And most governments will do anything in it's power to clear the roads, including imprison people.

People need to realize that being late to work doesn't actually matter, but the state of the climate does. We need more road blocks. Some without people too, just barricades.
