its a dead end conversation. we have a base morality as defined by the zeitgeist. thats it. if you require some religious moral authority to act appropriately in our society you are broken .
I know zeitgeist means "Spirit of the Times" or "Whatever we all have decided is now" but a literal translation makes it so much more fun. THE TIME GHOST DICTATES MORALITY!
Perfect. When climate change makes the outdoors unlivable, but you still really really need your manicured green desert in front of your house. Love it.
Once the atmospheric CO2 levels rise high enough, this will be sold with an included CO2 scrubber. Then you can mow your lawn without getting symptoms of CO2 poisoning. Like in the good old times in the 2020s!
that’s why we engineered the lawn mower to run on only the dirtiest fuel available, and a sufficiently inefficient engine that it consumed 50 liters to mow the average lawn!
Not everyone is on board with these initiatives, however. For one thing, it can be difficult for smaller farmers to take advantage of them. The methane digester at Savage View Farm isn’t cost-effective for dairy herds with fewer than about 200 cows, for example.
Also, scientists worry that the climate benefits are overstated, and that further subsidizing farms — especially those with methane-producing livestock — might actually increase the greenhouse gases coming from the sector overall.
“Farming in general, especially if it’s meat and dairy, has higher emissions than it sequesters,” said Matthew Hayek, an assistant professor at the New York University department of environmental studies. “The more money you put into agriculture, the more agriculture that’s going to happen.”
That middle.one is the big one.
We’re throwing billions to corpo farms for stuff that we legitimately don’t even know will work to help fight climate change, but throwing the money at it is going to grow an unsustainable industry that cause climate change…
And since it provides more benefits to large operations, it’s just going to let them expand more and buy out the small farms they claim to be trying to help.
This is terrible policy if you actually think about it.
I’m happy the article managed to include it even tho it’s buried at the end where some people might not get to.
I don’t know if this will help, but every time you use a computer, you’re dealing with the hand / eye disconnect. The mouse is moving in a different place and on a different plane to your screen, but you don’t think about it.
Try using the tablet as a mouse if you can. I’ve got a Wacom tablet that I’m learning to use, and it’s the technique that I’m trying :)
