She got a bad case of Murdoch…
7·3 days agoApparently GM is just too stupid to import a bunch of Chinese slaves.
I hope the Hungarian authorities crack down on BYD soon. This sound highly illegal.
The conference is co-sponsored by Colombia and the Netherlands, a pairing rich with symbolism: Colombia is the world’s fifth-largest coal exporter, Royal Dutch Shell one of the world’s biggest oil companies.
Royal Dutch Shell has renamed itself to only Shell and has given up its Dutch site moving fully to London.
Israel and the US, which would be the ONLY legitimate targets for Iran. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Thailand and many others are not. Ukraine does not have the right to blow up Bejing for example either.
It is United Mexican States so it would be UMS
12·3 days agoIf the US leaves NATO, it would be even better. Seriously that would clean up a lot. Also the US bases in Germany are legally NATO bases, so they loose their biggest bomber base doing that.
We kind of know how Trump sees international agreements. I very much doubt any such deal is actually going to last, especially with Israel really wanting to bomb Iran.
Obama was black. It was therefore obvious that his Iran deal was worse then what Trump come up with /s
Obviously it takes time until it is fully implemented and missiles take some time to reach Israel from Iran.
2·4 days agoA good chunk of the Iranian diaspora are the old supporters of the monarchy. Under the Shah Iran and Israel were allies. Also a lot of Iranians are strongly racist against Arabs. The fact that a lot of Arabs killed family members, when Iraq invaded them in 1980 and an eight year long bloody war followed, certainly does not help.
Not saying Israels genocide is a good thing, but the Iranian diaspora is probably a bad gauge to judge Iran by.
Yeah I’m saying it’s the opposite, the green country is outsourcing dirty work to the dirty country
Then the Green countries emissions increase for any import from the Black country, when you adjust for trade. The issue is that it is any import and not just dirty outsourced ones.
Say the Green country sells a 1000 chairs to the Black one and the Black country also sells a 1000 chairs to the Green one. Then you still have an increase in emissions, when you adjust for trade, in the Green country and falling emissions in the Black one. I certainly would not call that outsourcing emissions, as both countries could have just kept their chairs. This sort of trade happens all the time in the real world. You for example can buy German cars in Japan and Japanese cars in Germany.
This is how a net goods exporter like the EU, can have an increase in trade adjusted emissions.
There is a massive issue with adjusting for trade though. If you just imagine a country lets call it Green, which has no emissions, and a another country Black, which is fully run on dirty fossil fuels. Now when both countries trade, the Green country imports emissions and the Black ones are lowered. It can be that dirty processes have been outsourced to the Black country or you can just have the Green country do things better.
When you take the EU and China you can see both. There are absolutely dirty processes outsourced to China, but at the same time things like electricity are dirtier in China then in the EU.
The sales-weighted average for new car sales in the US is $47k. That is a lot of money by global standards. Even in the US you can get something like the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 for less then that and there are cheaper BEVs available as well.
Also car ownership in the US is insanely high.
US EV market share is at 5.7%. That is low compared the rest of the world. Especially since the US is a rich country.
68.4% of Japans population lives in cities(50k+), whereas only 40% of Europes population does that. Not to mention the rural population(below 5000) is nearly three times higher in Europe.
