It's headlines like this that make me cringe.
I loved our October. It was wonderful. Windows open. Heat not running(as in saving dollars on electricity).
And this headline is supposed to make me want to do what?
Hello everyone! I'm developing a new app to help people monitor and reduce their personal carbon emissions. But I want your feedback - what features would you find most useful in a carbon footprint tracking app? https://apps.apple.com/app/ecoguide-your-carbon-tracker/id6737694517 https://carbon-footprint.dev/ Let me know what you think! Please remove this message if I did something wrong.
While watching he bring on the standards of over Regulation of environmental, his mindset drives from he an restate agent and view the environment just a capital, not a complex ecosystem.
But at the same time, Kamala would view the environment as a lawyer. And her standards would drives off differently.
Do you think Trump or Kamala could juggle being economically and while being environmentally? Curious of your take of their stances and compare policies, and judge of character
Hey everyone. I come in peace not here to debate or fight or anything really. I respect everyone equally.
For myself Iâll admit the reason I look on this sub is to provide some counter balance to the impending doom narrative out there. I do believe there is some man made climate change. Itâs a very unhealthy coping mechanism if you ask any therapist but here I am!
I do this as a response to my anxiety disorder. During the summer of 2023 when Toronto was cloaked in smoke I had this breakdown about the world ending.
In 2024 Toronto had no winter. I remember the day I did some moving December 9 was like 10 celcius and a torrential downpour. This made me pretty anxious constantly refreshing the weather apps looking for hope of a normal winter.
Is my anxiety the result of legitimately scary changes to the climate or from Media hysteria about impending doom? Probably both but I wonder which is stronger and which one is right.
My mind has been caught up in the vortex of âwhatâs the point of having kids if the world will end in 20 yearsâ. I legit had fears that my generation would be the last one. I admit these are extreme and catastrophic thinking but it does creep in.
Anyone else a chronically anxious person looking for reassurance ?
Victoria is pushing ahead with a planned renewables terminal near internationally protected wetlands despite a veto from the federal government.
The two governments are discussing the project, which was rejected by federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek over risks to the UN-protected Western Port wetlands site.
"We're working with the Commonwealth to determine the next steps for the Victorian renewable energy terminal," a Victorian government spokesperson said.
The state said it is delivering its 2022 marine and coastal strategy to protect the environment of Western Port Bay.
The hub for the huge towers, blades and turbines needed for Victoria's offshore wind ambitions was planned for the deep-water Port of Hastings, southeast of Melbourne.
The project was rejected over permanent and irreversible risks to the wetlands, which are used by more than 115 bird species, including some that annually migrate to Siberia to breed.
"This is why we've got these international agreements," Biodiversity Council councillor Professor Sarah Bekessy told AAP.
"Because if one little part of their habitat gets destroyed along that flyway then the species is lost."
The site covers about 60,000 hectares with shallow intertidal mudflats, seagrass, saltmarsh, and mangrove habitats that support a wide array of aquatic life.
"For a project that is supposedly to fight climate change, it feels like destroying the planet to save the planet," Prof Bekessy said.
According to the Port of Hastings' latest annual report, the state government has continued to back the project, helping to fund further surveys and technical studies to get it across the line.
"With continued support from the Victorian government, including $36 million of committed grants, Port of Hastings Corporation is progressing the development of options for the Terminal project," the report stated.
While the Victorian government continues to work on its revised state-level environmental requirements, a new federal application for the project is not expected to land on Ms Plibersek's desk until 2025.
A federal government spokesperson said that new application will have to include an amended site footprint and supporting documentation.
Tonightâs election results guarantees the state-sanctioned climate alarm hoax will be demolished like an outdated Las Vegas hotel.
