"Biden Administration defends massive Alaska oil drilling project set to produce 590 million barrels of oil over 30 years."
This kind of puts quotes like "Listen to the science" and "Science is back" in a slightly different light...

When it’s about something that's in 10 years’ time, they're more than happy to vote for it because it doesn’t really impact them. But when it’s something that actually has an effect right here right now, they don’t want to touch it. It shows the hypocrisy.

Shell plans to expand their fossil gas production by over 20%.
But hey!
Someone will end deforestation and create a new magic forest the size of Brazil, completely unaffected by the sustainability crisis that'll forever remain a giant carbon sink.

Att stå upp för alla människors lika värde är inte att hata eller att polarisera. Att stå upp mot dem som motarbetar alla människors lika värde är inte att hata eller polarisera. Vägra normalisera det som händer nu i Sverige. Vägra normalisera hat, hot, lögner och fascism.
