2021-11-18 at 12:19 AM UTCNew York State tells insurers to consider climate risk in all business decisions:
https://www.dfs.ny.gov/reports_and_publications/press_releases/pr20211115?mc_cid=dc388117d0&mc_eid=9d84c120c3
COP26 and asking businesses nicely not to destroy the world does fuck all but the grey-suited insurance assessors with clipboards have real power to change how businesses operate. They’ve just been told to consider climate risks when determining whether projects are viable, and the data they will be using is extremely pessimistic.
Great reporting on the details from an upstate outlet, the River Newsroom, on how this affects a lot of fossil fuel projects even outside of NYS: https://mailchi.mp/therivernewsroom/climate-lab-14?e=9d84c120c3
“The data” that insurers must now consider is stuff like the IPCC report and the Propublica county-level data that predicts dire outlooks for various parts of the country.
Business cannot happen without insurance - nothing gets funded, nothing gets built. This decision may be the start of a death spiral for economies in places predicted to be heavily impacted by climate change - why build a factory in Louisiana if the insurance costs are 5x that of building it in a newly verdant Maine? Why live in Louisiana when it’s being battered by climate change and all the jobs are up north?
Businesses don’t give two hoots about changing their behavior to encompass climate externalities, and outright taxation is a political hot potato - but NYS ensuring that climate externalities become real dollar amounts for businesses through insurance is a great move that could have real impact.
A small change but this feels like the beginning of a larger economic shift as climate change really starts to kick into gear and the business world starts to be forced to adapt to the economic effects because they have no other choice. -

Do you really believe the crap you post? If not I can not imagine the false fear you endure. -

https://nationalinterest.org/feature/climate-change-and-resource-scarcities-are-reshaping-world-order-196128It is not said openly, but behind closed doors, big powers are maneuvering to get access to resources and to shut the door on competitors.
A lot of things coming out in the news lately that suggest this is going on. The geopolitical map is being redrawn. Africa and China mostly control the mineral resources we'd need for the green tech future envisioned by the hopium environmentalists and for that among other reasons it seems unlikely to unfold the way they think it will. -

Well powder my polyps, you're right..they feel papery.

What would Carl Sagan think of our consistent lack of heeding his, and other scientists’ warnings ?
And the writer of Soylent Green followed by the film in 1972 talked about Green House Gas effect on the planet by 2022 (50 years in the future)
it was known 20 years before Carl Sagan talked about it. -
2021-11-19 at 8:46 PM UTCI think the masks are a type of mix material of plastic and paper.
and the billions of people using them, I'm pretty sure more than 300 thousand of them ended up in the oceans from people tossing them on the ground, or placing them in the garbage cans and the dump truck guys having to move on don't pick up any over spill or from the truck forks dropping shit while dumping it over the loader.
then goes into the street and down into the sewer drain. -

It's one of the worst things you can have in the oceans, plastics. Animals swallow it and get tangled in it and die in masses of it. Then you have these mindless idiots "saving the planet", by throwing their filthy, dirty, disgusting, useless, disease-ridden security blankets all over the sidewalks, roads, bushes, parking lots, beaches, rivers and oceans. Then they pat themselves on the back as being the civil-minded, conscientious, law-abiding heroes of the story.
