Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

You're selling Earth blood that makes the sky melt.

That's pretty fucking evil.

Plastic in the oceans, Co2 and heavy metals in the air, war, and above all: Wednesday morning traffic (worst day where I am due to WFH rules still being decently widespread).

Looks like someone needs a bullet.

Hello users of Lemmy 👋 I'm a Brand Ambassador of Chevron corporate and would like to clear up this misunderstanding about our brand. Chevron provides oil, diesel and hot gas to millions of people worldwide. Although our brand has had setbacks, the utility we bring to millions of users every day has been overwhelmingly positive.

I hope this clears up any tensions and we hope to continue providing quality products to our clients in the future. Cheers

Petrochemicals and the energy from fossil fuels did provide the needed food and energy to boost our standard of living.

HOWEVER

By the time we knew they were affecting the climate, we had the technology to move off of them and didn't because of assholes like this.

We still don't have the technology to move of them. Energy storage is severely lacking.

I bet if we had started the process in the 1970s like Carter wanted we'd be a lot further along by now.
