  • “Putting short-term gains and geopolitical power above human life and the wellbeing of the planet”

    Kind of hard to see that as a boomer perspective, wanting ya’know… a better world for everyone instead of propping up a select few for their own gains.

    But I guess you’d know that If you actually watched the interview instead of forming your opinion around an image taken out of context.






  • Bit more info, this is a common combination for stocks, soups and stews in French cuisine, traditionally 2:1:1 ratio onions to carrots and celery.

    In Italian cuisine the essentially same thing is Sofrito, there is also the Cajun Holy Trinity which varies ingredients but is for similar purposes.

    This is kind of a staple for a lot of quality cooking, you should at least make a stock from scratch at some point in your life and you’ll see why these combinations are so important if you do so.




  • The reasonable RCP pathways we’re trying to follow require us to remove a net 2 Gigatons of CO2 a year from the atmosphere per year.

    And yeah we can’t really do it this way because of entropy unless we work a miracle, best we can do is tip the Earths natural carbon sinks into our favour but we’re doing the exact opposite of that.

    Those carbon sinks can also take millenia to find a state of equilibrium as well.

    I know I sound like a pessimist so here’s my take from this, these companies have insidiously compartmentalised an existential threat to our species to the confines of the economy.

    These companies will never amount to anything significant, they will ride a model of perceived hype around some vaporware tech that flies in the face of thermodynamics.

    This detracts from real solutions to a very real problem that falls beyond the comprehension of these arseholes and they don’t deserve our attention much less the time of day.
