Sure but if they’re looking it’s like them peeking through the window while you’re having sex. Will you get jailed for havingnsex, no (unless it’s gay sex and you’re in Russia, then yes) , but it still makes people feel uncomfortable. Or if they find correspondence between you and your gf organizing an abortion and you’re in Texas and they “pass it on”, or any number or things.
And Russia is going to North Korea and China for shits and giggles becase they too need help as well as selling thier fossil fuels far and wide.
The issue isn’t Russia stops at Ukraine and it’s happy families, that can’t occur, millions of Ukranines will conduct partisan operstions for decades if they did take Ukraine at all.
The issues are many, an example, do you help your friends in times of need if they ask ? The US did sign a treaty in '91 saying they’d come to Ukraine’s defence if Ukraine gave their nukes up. Another issue, do random countires get to invade other countires and we’re all just meahhhh. It will also embolden countires to just say, no one will care and invade a neighbor (China, North Korea are watching) The US is sending a token amount of military, getting rid of their old shit and refreshing thier weapons systems, spending huge amounts of money in the US to do it. Simialry.otjer nations, like the Netherland, Denmark etc was getting rid of the F16s to replace them with F35s etc. The tanks gifted we’re old ones as another example…
Russia has already said they won’t stop there, so when they take Lithuania, what then ? Try it with Finland and what then ? What if they decide they want to take Poland, what then ?
Fuck Russia, give Ukraine what they want and need. We should be putting boots on the ground ) not at rhe front perhaps but logistics, mechanised repairs etc and military jets in the air.

While that seem ostensibly sensible it isn’t really useful, you can’t transition away from just large cars, you still won’t have the carless infrastructure in place anyway.
As to vegan, i find the entire thing worrisome, conflating say a poor Cambodian who eats a little chicken with his noddles with a vegan American is ridiculous. The americans refrigerator alone is more destructive then his chicken, veg and noodle dinner. The entire idea is to look holistically. If yoire a vegan with a large dog, for example, you’re going to eat more meat then I do with my little permeculture set up and the poultry I raise and eat.
Not sure what this has to do with climate change aside from potentially make it worse ? Seems it would increase emsisions and GDP as “the poor” will spend it.
We need to all emit like the poor do now. I’d suggest instead they spend it on good quality free PT and AT (cycling infrastructure etc) so the poor don’t need a car for example, immensely improving their lives and lowering emissions, pollution and heath care costs…
With less roads and parking they can infill with smaller, well insulated cheaper medium density housing, and trees and bushes, making many homes cheaper to live in as they don’t need as much energy, this immensely improves the lives of the poor and reduces emsisions.
Giving “poor people” more money within the orthodox neo-liberal shit show will make anything climate or enviormentally adjacent worse. Taking it alll off the rich will help in spades but this is tokenism that won’t help with emissions or biodiversity loss or plastic use etc.
That asdie, The Australian Green party went into the last federal election with a policy to tax the very wealthy much more but voters soundly rejected such policies, 75% voted againt it. I voted in the minority for it.

the nobel in economics is just a fake award of other pseudoscientists tugging each others dicks.
For sure . for those not in thr know the Economics Nobel is set up by a Swedish Bank and uses Noble’s name.
There are plenty of absolutely damning counterarguments to nordhaus that make it so that nobody serious takes him seriously. hes a shill plain and simple
I don’t agree he’s not taken seriously, which is unfortuante. He’s the professor of Economics at Yale. Lots of his work was leant on by other confident idiots like Bjorn Lomborg and the likess of Richard Tol when he was involved in working group 3 of the IPCC and that’s often what informs policy decisions governmentally.
PS nice to see you here from Reddits collapse group? I don’t visit there anymore but did fire over a decade.
