This is a great meme. The hidden cost of solar and wind - toxic waste, metal-mining etc - are completely ignored by the radical, "feel-good" environmental movement. If people like AOC, Bernie and others on the left were serious about decarbonization, they would be putting their weight behind nuclear power and modern ag technologies, not solar/wind and agroecology.

What counts as science to you?

Rigorous life-cycle assessments (LCA) has shown that reusable shopping bags have a larger environmental footprint than single-use plastic bags, if the plastic bags are recycled correctly. It is counter-intuitive. Here is the science: https://www2.mst.dk/Udgiv/publications/2018/02/978-87-93614-73-4.pdf

The current scientific basis for climate change is solid and undeniable. The proposed solutions (slowing industrialization of the underdeveloped world, more taxes in the name of carbon, more investment in solar/wind at the cost of nuclear, turning back the clock on agritechnologies etc.) are not the answer.

Interesting. Weird that someone would want to adopt/fake a random accent, unless they lived there and picked up a bit of it? -

Should BCCI allow some fringe players to play Big Bash?
ExtremeBrainfade replied to maniac's topic in Cricket Talk
You're right. I don't see a justification for restricting players who have little to no chance of national LOI selection from taking their skills to another place to make a living. Whether they will be hired is beside the point. Maybe the "hitters" won't, but I can easily see some of the bowlers (e.g., Nadeem, Rajpoot, Warrier etc.) being useful in other leagues too. -

Unnao gang rape victim dies at Delhi’s Safdarjung hospital

https://www.innocenceproject.org/cases/darryl-hunt/ In 1984, a guy named Daryl Hunt was convicted of raping and murdering a young woman. He was thrown in prison but not sentenced to death. In 1994 DNA evidence revealed that the perpetrator was some one else and Hunt was innocent. In 2004, Hunt was released from prison and did some public events. Hearing him speak provided great perspective. In 2016, he committed suicide. Many many such cases. While the emotion is understandable, putting someone to death - the absolute permanence of it - when there is even a 1% c -

In the US of A, 100s of innocents were put to death or are languishing in jail or have died in jail after being thrown there by a racist system. Thanks to the work of groups like the Innocence project, some of them are exonerated. Here is one such story https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/news/alabama-pardons-scottsboro-boys-former-death-row-inmates They were convicted in 1931, died in prison and exonerated in 2013 posthumously. There is an entire database here: https://www.innocenceproject.org/
