Hey, I don’t care about the reason as long as it helps the cause.
I don’t care for depicting this kind of violence toward oil company executives. It looks like she might have missed some of them.
Jesus, I miss sweater weather too.
My friend just offered me some really cute sweaters and I wanted to take them but I knew I’d never fucking wear them because it’s either too hot for them or too cold to even be outside
Cuz it’s too waaaaaa-aaa-aaaa-aaarrrm for you here and now so let me hooooo-ooooo-oooo-ooolllld both your hands in the space that was my sweater.
It’s funny because here in Austria right now in August I need my sweater in the morning. Very much not normal. (Not that I mind it being cool, but it’s worrying.)
ACTUALLY!
Due to climate change, the polar vortex is very unstable. It used to be that there was the Jetstream around the North Pole, keeping the cold air there, and only sometimes it would make a U-shape down towards europe (or other parts of the world) but due to global climate change it’s extremely unstable and squiggly at times, meaning that sometimes in summer the cold polar circle air extends towards Europe, as we have it right now.

I‘d like to post the studies as well but I can’t find them this quick.
Why is she using a stinger launcher though? Those are for aircraft.
Sometimes, the best tool for the job is the one you already have. Is she supposed to go out and buy a new missile launcher and all the consumables that go with it when she’s got a perfectly functional stinger in the garage already?
Consumer culture has gotten out of hand!
/s … kind of???
Oil companies are evil. Sure. They lobby for everything they can get to benefit their business, and often get it. They lie about the dangers of climate change.
BUT
They didn’t cause the climate to change single-handedly. Oil companies are pumping out vast quantities of oil because people insist on buying and driving cars. People insist on taking vacations involving flying to a beach or a mountain. Even people who “love nature” will go on a camping trip that involves driving hours in a huge metal box so that they can spend some time in nature.
Sure, it’s hard to get by without a car, especially in North America. And you can definitely blame oil industry lobbyists for making cities more car-centric. At the same time, look how much of a stink suburbanites raise any time a city wants to get rid of some car lanes to put in a bike lane. Look at the fury when cities introduce congestion pricing.
tl;dr: this bitch probably drove her car to get to the building where she launched the rocket.
You said it yourself
They lobby for everything they can get to benefit their business, and often get it. A lot of citizens want a better alternative but can’t get it because Oil industry has corrupted our officials. They lie about the dangers of climate change. This and their lobbying makes it so that many citizens didn’t (and still don’t) know what kind of problem they are part of. Oil lobbies corrupted scientists, media and politicians so the uneducated and the not-so-uneducated thought that climate change was not real. Many of them now have realized their lies and we are all in our 100% legitimate right to blame them and fight them.
The reason so many suburbanites complain about bike lanes it’s because oil companies pay and spread propaganda that has convinced them that it will affect their lives negatively.
A lot of people have to buy that metal box because there is no reasonable alternative, when your politicians, bought by oil lobbies, don’t invest or even work against public transportation.
And then there’s people like you that, when people try to do better, criticize them because they have a infinitesimal part of the guilt.
Just because they lobby for things doesn’t mean that people no longer have any choices.
The corn lobby lobbies for, and gets, all kinds of subsidies. That doesn’t mean you’re required to eat corn.
that has convinced them that it will affect their lives negatively.
Boohoo. They believed the propaganda, it’s not their fault!
A lot of people have to buy that metal box because there is no reasonable alternative
Because their definition of “reasonable” is too narrow. It’s slightly less convenient, therefore unreasonable.
And then there’s people like you that, when people try to do better, criticize them because they have a infinitesimal part of the guilt.
When have I criticized anyone for trying to do better. What I criticize is people trying to feel less guilty about their selfish decisions by trying to heap all the blame on oil companies instead, like you do.
