Comment Greenwash (Score 1) 242

The problem is not the fuel per se , its what is emitted when the fuel burns. Cooking oil is no different to #FossilFuel based oils in this regard.

Up to 500 empty flights per day are flown in the UK so airlines can keep their slots at airports.

End practices like these.
First take the low hanging fruit instead of wasting time with Greenwash and unscalable climate band-aids.

The Electric car has been around just as long as fossil fuel powered cars.

"Robert Anderson was a 19th-century Scottish inventor, best known for inventing the first crude electric carriage in Scotland around the time of 1832â"1839. Robert Anderson was an important person for helping invent the first electric car."

Weve known since the beginning of the industrial revolution that the effects of emitting CO2 and other greenhouse gases warms our planet. Yet we have pursued fossil fuels powered combustion engines the whole time.

It is the #FossilFuel companies that want a market for their toxic commodity thats scuppered EV adoption. If you think this nonsense ask yourself why despite being in the middle of a #ClimateEmergency that dictates we must divest from fossil fuels ask yourself why we get involved in a war in ukraine where gas pipelines supply the rest of Europe.

SInce when did they give a shit about "significant danger in urban environments"

As an example ~ 27 people per day die in London, UK due to Air Pollution related illness. This has been the case for many years and no action has been taken.

Here in the UK our MPs recently voted through legislation to allow raw sewage and human excrement to be discharged into our dying rivers and ocean.

Ammonia & human waste products :

Uric acid is a natural waste product from food digestion and urea is a waste product made of ammonia and carbon dioxideâ"all substances the body tries to get rid of through urine.

Here in the UK its a free for all human life and biodiversity is expendable to #TheRulingClass they literally dont give a shit.

China Led World With 500,000 Electric Car Exports In 2021 .
Cars manufactured from steel using ore that cannot be extracted from the earth or worked with without the use of Fossil Fuels resulting in large scale CO2 emissions.

Cars that were exported on #FossilFuel powered cargo ships to other countries to be driven on Roads made from #FossilFuels (Bitumen) that must be maintained 24/7 365 days a year using #FossilFuel powered construction equiment.

Cars whose interiors contain large amounts of plastics that are manufactured using #FossilFuels , plastics that in time degrade into microplastics polluting our dying rivers and oceans.

The highest portion of #Microplastics in our dying oceans is that which comes from car tyre dust.

Each tyre on a typical car is made from 7 gallons of crude oil.

Now try and tell me Electric cars are a #ClimateSolution as oppose to a #ClimateBandAid.

Where was it you first read or heard
"Dont believe anything you believe on the internet" - ill give you a clue, it wasnt the internet.

Heres some truth about #BBC the nations LEAST trusted news service and broadcaster.

1) It admitted that it would not expose Prime Minister Boris Johnsons lies , reasoning "it would undermine public faith in democracy"

2) On a very prominent so called and public debate program it hired actors to pretend to be opinionated members of the public. In one case hiring an actor to pretend to be a Vicar. #VicarGate

3) The BBC was also instrumental in buttering the British public up to accept "Austerity" on the back of a lie that a previous government had left the countries finances in such a bad way that they had no choice but to rape taxpayers even more. This was a lie, thousands have died due to un-needed austerity measures.

4) The nations LEAST trusted news service an broadcaster also got caught out for faking a picture of the then leader of the opposition in front of the kremlin wearing a cossack hat and insinuated he was a communist spy. A leader who , IMHO would have been far better at tackling a Global Pandemic than the racist Churchill wannabe we now have that can hardly string sentences together.

This is just a taster of the the methods the nations LEAST trusted news service and broadcaster will go to to propagandize the nation on behalf of the conservative party / tory / ruling class

When #BBC talk about unbiased or balanced reporting, what they mean is platforming racists and bigots and selectively choosing what facts to ignore and what facts to promote in order to keep the narrative they want - so long as they dont mention the inconvenient parts.
---

Heres a thing, On social media, #TheTruth is aired, and then they attempt to silence it. It cannot be hidden once set free.

On broadcast media #TheTruth is not aired, it is censored or only the convenient parts reported. The news you hear is chosen by someone else who thinks they know what YOU want to hear.

Slashdot reader DevNull127 shares this transcript of James Cameron's new interview with the BBC â" which they've titled "The Danger of Deepfakes."

The nations LEAST trusted news service and broadcaster admitted that it would not expose Prime Minister Boris Johnsons lies "For fear it would undermine public faith in democracy"

Interviewing JC about "Deep Fakes" , when the broadcaster has, in the past been caught.

1) photoshopping the leader of the opposition in a cossack hat outside the kremlin and insinuated he was a communist spy.

2) Planting fake vicars in the audience of politcal shows eg Queston Time

3) lying to the british public about a letter left by Gordon Brown relating to the countries, a letter that BBC used to convince the british public that austerity was a neccessary thing. Thousands have died.

The BBC is NO authority on this, nor is it to be trusted and James Cameron is clearly an establishment whore that has no idea he is gaslighting the nation.

If you cant see the problem with the following statement - then you dont understand what happens when kerosine is burned for jet fuel.

"A group of European researchers sees the methods as part of a single coherent production platform, one that goes from sunlight and air to kerosene."
