Are Family Values Fascist?

Recently a number of right-wing figures have become obsessed with children, whether it's having lots of them on their own, or creating a moral imperative for the rest of us to reproduce. So are they just really into the idea of spreading their own genetic code, or is there something more insidious going on? We'll explain in this video on the right-wing obsession with having children.

The OOP needs understand that there's a "too". To serve himself too.

It means that you are comparing apples to orange trees. You do not understand what the challenges are and what the require effort is.

SO₂ is not the same functionally in the economies as CO₂, just like the ozone destroying gases aren't teh same functionally in the economies as CO₂.

You are breathing optimism like oxygen in an oxygen poor environment.

Do you see the global GHG emissions going down? Actually down.

Do you know when the targets for ZERO are and what the downwards angle has to be?

Good luck with your optimism.

Study on their greenhouse gas emissions and climate commitments

With this study, we are providing for the first time a calculation of the GHG emissions from the ten surveyed slaughter and dairy companies in Germany, including discussing their general climate-related obligations – such as those from sustainability reporting in the course of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

We show, among other things, that the emissions of the ten most selling slaughter companies and the ten highest-grossing dairy companies in 2022 corresponded to around 61% of the emissions cast in Germany in Germany in the same year. If the opportunity costs are taken into account in the calculation, then the issues of the companies will even increase to 1.5 times the passenger car emissions.

We also take a closer look at previous climate protection-related self-discreet data from the two market leaders, Tönnies and DMK Deutsches Milchkontor, and we also come to the conclusion that these two companies in particular still have to improve significantly in terms of completeness, transparency and coherence.

It's a conflict of interest, it will go wrong or the system will be cancelled.

I don't think that selling licenses to pollute is a good strategy to reduce pollution (it needs to be reduced to zero ASAP).

The carbon grifting is a problem.

How Tesla Made Great Profits from Regulatory Credits? | SINBON

Take T-brand's SUV as an example. New cars emit around 210 grams of CO2 per kilometer. Under the current EU regulations (95g/km of CO2 emissions for new cars, with a €95 punishment for each gram over the limit), every new car will face a fine of up to €10,925 (115*95 = €10,925). In contrast, every new Tesla vehicle will receive 25 grams of carbon emissions credits, bringing Tesla considerable revenue in the long term.

Do Tesla car owners know that the Tesla company is selling carbon credits on their vehicle? If anything, they should be the ones getting the money, not Tesla. It's a pretty clever scam when you can sell a thing twice.

Tesla's Carbon Credit Revenue Soars to $2.76 Billion Amid Profit Drop

This revenue comes at a minimal cost to Tesla, making it a near-pure profit stream. Unlike other automakers that must purchase credits to comply with emissions regulations, Tesla generates them simply by selling zero-emission vehicles.

And do Tesla owners understand that they are not individually reducing their carbon footprint because Tesla is selling that absence of pollution as a license to pollute (carbon credit)?

This resilience is due in part to the slow transition of legacy automakers to electric vehicles. While companies like Ford and General Motors have made strides in EV production, many still rely on Tesla’s credits to meet tightening emissions standards in the U.S., Europe, and China.

In fact, Tesla’s carbon credits are helping automakers meet strict EU emission targets. Companies like Stellantis, Toyota, Ford, Mazda, and Subaru buy Tesla’s credits to offset their emissions and avoid hefty fines.

ICE car makers are buying Tesla carbon credits so that they can pollute.

Depends on the ingredients, you have to ask more specific questions.

There are studies on this, but it's a somewhat novel thing if you ignore traditional foods like tofu and seitan.

Fake Meat Versus Real Meat: Nutrition

When comparing the nutrition of plant-based and animal meats, an important factor to look at is their saturated fat content. Although fats are a necessary part of a healthy and balanced diet, consuming large amounts of saturated fat can increase levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and increase the risk of coronary heart disease and strokes. Saturated fats are found in high quantities in red meat, but are usually present in smaller amounts in plant-based meat products. One plant-based source of saturated fats to watch out for is coconut oil

Some plant-based meats are higher in fiber. Eating high-fiber foods can help aid digestion, lower blood cholesterol levels and control blood sugar levels and appetite, which can help with weight management. 

On the other hand, some plant-based meat products contain high quantities of sodium, and others may not contain enough vitamin B12. Although some manufacturers add this nutrient to their fake meat products, others do not. But this can be rectified by taking a vitamin B12 supplement.

Still in its early stages of development, the full nutritional value of lab-grown meat is difficult to ascertain. Yet because these meats are grown from just a few cells, there could be the potential to manipulate their growth and nutritional makeup to create an even healthier alternative to animal meat.

World Bicycle Relief explains that its Buffalo bicycles are designed to be "extremely durable to serve the needs of people who travel long distances over rugged terrain with heavy cargo in some of the world's harshest environments." With that in mind, simplicity and ruggedness are absolutely critical, and the redundant chain system is designed to provide a high/low gear solution that involves as few breakable, externally mounted parts as possible. These bikes are being delivered to places that don't have access to bicycle shops or spare part overnighting, so making something that's as tough and easy to repair as possible is an essential part of WBR's job.
