Supermarket chains have plenty of control and influence over their supply chain.

Michelle, my friend, rethink your career as a corporate cockglober.

Nobody with a drop of knowledge of how this world works would buy this bs.

Who'd expect a band of former criminals reborn anew as war criminals to have any loyalty? So long as they get to be out there pillaging and raping they will be kept happy and as loyal as such a band could get.

Yep. Taking the piss aside, it was a smart move to co-star with someone so famous.

Don't tell the people fighting this about coal power plants and other things that actually fuck the environment and kill us.

It's a sum with n from 1 to infinity. The first value with n=1 is 3/4, with n=2 it's 3/16. And if you keep adding those terms as n goes to infinity it approaches 1 but never gets there.

Then if you look back at the meme, you could zoom in for infinity and always find a smaller square.

The world has its own CO2 cycle so it's not that we need to reach 0, we just need to reach a balanced emission threshold. Though at this point we will also need to aid this process with further removal.

The issue is mostly that we are outputting too much. Shipping industries, energy production, other transport such as cars and planes. These industries are a big part of the problem and the ones fueling (e.g. oil) them are the ones most interested in your feeling of hopelessness, as then they have free reign over their actions.

The world has and will get hotter. There will be more disasters. But it's unlikely to be the end of civilisation. The more we act now, the fewer people will suffer.

It's not a hopeless cause at all. Look at our tech now vs 100 years ago. Humanity has the means to do it.

We have been shown over and over that investors will take profits during good times, build no resilience to handle disasters, invest the bare minimum back into infrastructure and jobs, drain the companies until bankruptcy arrives and taxpayers are left with the bill.

This could work with proper regulation. But regulation can be corrupted. Money corrupts. This industry involves lots of money. And so here we are.

When Jeremy Corbyn proposed to buy back utility companies here shortly before the energy crisis, people looked at him like a lunatic.

Elon Musk is a lottery winner in the business world.

Yes, bags of flour. That's a measurement I can get behind.

I suspect chronic boredom is widespread but almost no one realises it.

Is some software getting worse?

Fixed for ya.
