lizardrooms.bsky.social @lizardrooms.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Even if correct it would still be a wise investment economically. It would soon pay for itself many times over with cheaper energy. May even be worth it for immediate jobs alone. 120
lizardrooms.bsky.social @lizardrooms.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The fact remains that there is nowhere else to vote for climate progress. And if it does hurt them, it will test if the greens' democratic process can course correct. But I wouldn't be so quick to deny the potential of gesture politics in this era anyway. 000

lizardrooms.bsky.social @lizardrooms.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Yes please, and go international with it too! If only we could engineer some kind of high speed rail across the Pacific and Atlantic. Maybe we could launch planes off the back of trains too, to save a smidge more emissions? Fixing our UK trains would be a good start 120

I've come to believe that there are three entirely distinct and, in many cases, contradictory philosophies within modern environmentalism. It's a work in progress and I would very much value your feedback. Thanks. 🧵 bsky.app/profile/wepl... 2019160
