      They had to make it seem cute, because anything else would point to the long history of coal mining unions.

          Chernobyl (which I believe this image is from) was such a damn good miniseries.

              The Soviets going in naked to shut down the reactor went hard as hell

            Politicians being “pro coal” has reached the point of being comical to me

            Coal is dead

            We are never going to build another coal power plant in the US. Everything politicians do, and say, around coal is nothing but pandering

                coal is literally obsolete, they’re just subsidizing some rich guys and giving false hope to dead towns

                        Yeah I enjoy that most of the maga propaganda art looks like trash, which I suspect is because most actual good artists are on the left

                            As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

                            How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world. About 1C of total warming. Second chart: about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability. Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases. About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

                            Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
