that, and none of the mainstream "proposed" ideas actually work

Take solar panels: great for a sunny day, but at night? you need batteries. and making batteries is HORRIBLE for the environment. Same problem with electric cars. Good job, you stopped ICE from making pollution.... now the electric grid, run mostly on COAL needs to take up the slack, and you need more of those wonderfully awful batteries. (oh, and when you traded in that perfectly functioning if slightly dirty ICE car? Yeah, more junk for our junk heaps that worked fine, and one brand new car that costs a lot of carbon to make.)

Aren't batteries recyclable? What's an ICE car?

Internal Combustion Engine

its not the recyclable part, and idk how recyclable they are but they need a proper disposable method because they have some very toxic metals in them. But no, its making batteries

and other parts of electric cars

they require pretty hard to get metals.

which means lots of energy needed, lots of pollution created, digging those things out.

so much so that it almost negates the carbon footprint saved from using an electric car. and that is something you get just from buying the stupid thing.

think about that: with an ICE car, your carbon footprint is based on how much you drive. But with an electric vehicle, you get all the carbon footprint from normal lifetime operation of an ICE car right off the bat.

meaning you HAVE to drive it a lot, and until it dies, to make up the margin to "save"

its like needing to buy something in bulk just to save money on each item, only to need to use twice your normal amount of that item to make it worth while.

now, if you have an ICE car, and its basically dead, buying hybrid or even electric is probably a better choice for the environment. but how many people do that?

and will they stop buying "this years latest model"

the thing that makes carbon footprints larger is consumption over anything else.

this for the discussion in newsroom

wonder what happened in the 40's to jump that IQ gain 🤔

almost like something big happened to affect the whole world

AAAAAAAAdam warski

gettin' away with it

touch that boy's hole and you'll pay adam's toll

whats adam potski up to this time?

resurrecting post-strike morning kumite

Waiting for warski to get struck down and for IBS to die and then I'll just go insane with a lack of fresh bantz during the morning

I'll probably be forced to... do actual work....

that meme is more entertaining than bloodsports these days

honestly I love ibs still

I've taken a liking to the ralph retort since it's like a mixture of drama alert, ibs and news commentary

he pulls random people in during the show

and it's just pretty entertaining

There's no way IBS will ever die

it'll just get mixed with other shit

ibs was fun for a few days when it started,

But its just become a circlejerk of
<Use argument B>

<Counter argument B>
<Use argument 31>

<Coutner argument 31 with argument C-1>
<etc..>

somewhat

You get angry people

theres nothing new to it its the same two sides slappign each other with verbal bags of oranges

who sperg out

and I find it pretty amusing

yeah true
