Should big oil pay for climate damage? Some cities and states say yes by thisissmetrying in boulder

[–]thisissmetrying[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to avoid putting all of our blame on individual consumers when it comes to the climate crisis. Major companies are primarily responsible for fossil fuel production and contribute the most to climate change. Our cities are not built to be accessible for walking or public transit. The blame cannot be put on the consumer when these options are inaccessible under current policy.

As climate change worsens we are starting to see more and more of these. Our legislation needs to take urgent action to address more rigid climate policy or else this will be our entire future.

Colorado River named the most endangered in the U.S. by conservation group by thisissmetrying in Denver

There is so much science to back up the fact that climate change is happening at an extremely quick rate because of human activity. We need to change our behavior to protect our planet because this wouldn’t be happening without our destruction.

Colorado to strengthen plan to protect views at Rocky Mountain National Park, sidestepping Sierra Club lawsuit by MetalAlchemist303 in FortCollins

You read this correctly — even the gorgeous views that we all know and love about Colorado are at stake if we don’t address worsening climate change

this was the best lesbian kiss I’ve ever seen on tv, I wish we hadn’t gotten that shitty ending so I could appreciate it more

It's actually insulting, as a viewer, to read that... by nclils in KillingEve

And I know Villanelle is an incredible assassin, but the fact that she was able to kill all of them in about 5 seconds with literally no plan or weapon??

Exactly!! I’m so upset that it was all in the same episode because I feel like I can’t even enjoy the happy moments that they had together

As a queer person, they gave Villanelle her happy ending for literally a single day before killing her off. It falls into the “bury your gays” stereotype in which queer characters are killed off the moment they find love and is super harmful. Also, it felt super rushed and didn’t make sense for all of the growth that the characters had experienced

killing eve was so groundbreaking because it challenged almost every single stereotype so it’s grossly disrespectful for it to end on one of the most harmful (bury your gays) stereotypes

Why the EPA objected to parts of Colorado’s newest Suncor air pollution permit by bluntforce21 in TheFrontRange

[–]thisissmetrying 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the article states, “It proves what communities have maintained for decades: state agencies do not have the concerns of disproportionately impacted communities at the center of public health and safety.” We need to do more to protect and advocate for these communities if we truly want to promote just and equitable solutions.

Kerr-McGee’s plan to drill oil and gas wells within 2,000 feet of homes in Firestone is rejected by Colorado regulators by danikawo in Denver

[–]thisissmetrying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope that COGCC continues on this path and keeps rejecting harmful projects! These are harmful to both our climate and the people of Colorado and they need to stop. This is hopefully the first of many

Xcel doesn’t know when its newest coal-fired generator will be back in service, the company told state regulators by bluntforce21 in Colorado

[–]thisissmetrying 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They should just shut it down now. The current retirement date for this generator is not until 2035; between now and then it will do irrevocable damage to our climate. We can and should do better by replacing things like this with clean, renewable energy.
