Wait, isn’t he supposed to be on the team that’s trying to stop climate change?
Or does he think it’s safe to let his backroom deal persona out into the public now?
Again a reference to communism, when the price increase is a direct result of unregulated capitalism.
All that whining when gas still costs nothing in US.
The best deals, the BIGGEST and BESTEST. Fucking cuck can’t even negotiate himself out of an easy one. This is the wet paper bag training course, and he’s flunking it magnificently.
I agree but I think he will do the Republican thing and weasel out of it. The whole thing will collapse just as Democrats are elected and left to fix the mess. Then the media will happily pivot to blaming Dems on not fixing the mess fast enough. It’s just too predictable at this point.
Gas prices? Skill issue, just don’t buy it. I haven’t bought any in years.
If you buy food, you buy diesel. It’s what’s in the tractors and delivery trucks.
This is why it’s literally impossible for an American to live a two tonne CO2 lifestyle. Emissions are imbedded in the supply chains and government.
How much of that food emissions is from beef though? Like even if you insist on still eating meat if you were to change to pork/chicken it would reduce emissions a lot.
Although might be right for Americans, they have 3x what we do here per capita. Should be easier for me if I just need to do around half of what the average person does to get under 2. So heat pump, eat minimal meat with plenty of grains and veg instead, cycle to work, probably already most of the way there.
Little is from beef. Beef, while the worst for emissions per calorie, is a tiny part of the overall food chain. Grains dominate.
You will get closer, but I suspect your nation is simply too wealthy to hit the target. The UK is 2.25x higher than two tonnes per capita.
It might be achievable if you cycle, never step foot on an aircraft, eat a local vegetarian diet, live in a small space heated with a heat pump, and buy solely used durable products. Again, there’s too much carbon in the supply chain and government services like road maintenance
Of course, you are miles ahead of the US.
live in a small space heated with a heat pump
Their thin walls cause this to only be a tiny improvement I’d wager (still the best option though). They can even punch holes in their walls, if I tried this with a german drywall I’d break all the bones in my hand.

This implies environmental protection contradicts wealth (as in “lots of money in one n̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ regional administrative zone”), a common conservative lie. It doesn’t, unfettered capitalism does. E.g. the solar business makes fucking bank but is a net positive on the environment. So are lots of other businesses. The definition of wealth is fucked anyway.
Thin walls? I have 2 layers of block walls with cavity insulation.
Beef is like 40x the emissions of grain per kcal. Grains are also a lot of the overall value because they are uses as animal feed. Drop the need for animal feed and you significantly drop the need for grains.
Honestly gas rationing is a good thing, fuck oil, fuck burning into climate change. Gavin is not on the left but kinda conservative since he wants to drive gas prices down.
