Because if we removed 3.5% of emissions today, it would take us right back to where we were roughly just 2 years ago.

We need to clean up the energy sector first. That’s roughly 80% of emissions. Agriculture is the next big one at 10%.

Aviation is by far the hardest sector to clean up and would make the least impact. Energy is the easiest AND makes the biggest impact on total emissions and climate change.

Going to green energy production like wind, solar, hydro, and nuclear, and making the energy sector entirely emissions free would reset out total emissions back to over 100 years ago.

A 2 year doctor would still be in their residency lol. They get worked to the fucking bone.

They were being sarcastic.

The 4% is all factors. The 2.5% is just the direct emissions.

All global aviation contributes around 3.5% of human made climate change, and 2.5% of CO2 emissions.

And that’s all aviation combined. Agriculture contributes 3-4x as much.

Completely getting rid of all aviation globally wouldn’t even make a dent in climate change.

Well, no. The entire premise is that the states pass laws giving their EC votes to the winner of the popular vote. It’s not just a pinky promise lol. Those laws would have to be overturned by their state legislatures in advance.

The only part that makes it a pact is that none of the state laws go into effect until enough other states pass their laws.

To be fair, that was a special election in 2017. Not part of the blue wave in 2018. It was the only race on the ballot there. And Doug Jones only barely won because the GOP put up a literal pedophile who had been removed from office multiple times to run against him, and that guy got virtually no party support until a week before the election when Trump endorsed him.

And I remember back then almost everyone saying that it would only be temporary and he’d likely lose the seat the next election as long as they ran someone halfway decent against him. Which is what happened. They ran the former head coach of Auburn lol.

That’s a little different than pretty much the entirety of Texas government swinging blue. Governor, Lt governor, Senator, they picked up seats in the House that were gerrymandered to give to republicans, the Texas state House… that’s a much bigger and fundamental shift than a single off year race against one of the worst GOP candidates in history.

Eh, just block the tankie subs and you dont have to worry about them nearly as much.

You don’t know because there isn’t anything like karma here. It doesn’t exist.

There are votes on posts and comments, but they don’t carry over to your profile whatsoever.

Eh, just block all the .ml losers and you see a lot less of that.

The .ml people are all nut job Tankies anyway and should be blocked for your own sanity.

No it would. Come January 21st, Vance could take over and still be eligible for two full terms of his own.
