    Don’t worry, cheaper solar panels, electric cars and entrepreneurs will save humanity. And by humanity I mean a specific share of the world’s developed nations. Discourse on this frustrates me to an unhealthy degree.

    If you promote techno-fetishism laden, borderline tech-bro driven or shitass bill gates financed media, please reply so I may wish upon your remaining bloodline an everlasting mildly inconvenient curse.

    And if you like Kurzgesagt tech videos, please reply so I may respectfully call you a fucking donkey.

      What’s that about kurzgesagt?

      I often found good citations/ research evidence linked to their claims (on climate change)

        They repeat whatever their donors claim without any checking on their part. Sometimes this lines up with science, sometimes it’s just propaganda.

          Any example videos that are propoganda?

          I’d like to scrutinize one so I can fact check better in the future. I mainly check the citations in the links.
