Urge climate action from the government. I assume Mexico also uses a lot of water for agriculture for thirsty luxury crops like almonds and avocados like in California.
That’s a very familiar refrain. Government wants to tackle climate change. It announces a bunch of measures, with electric transportation, heat pumps, renewable energy. Population sees prices for transportation, housing and energy go up even faster and gets angry.
Government tries to use subsidies to lower costs. Taxes go up. Population gets angry again.
Population tries to shift taxes to the rich. Lobby groups spring up and campaign money dries up faster than a river during a heatwave.
Somebody else gets elected that is not climate friendly. More heatwaves happen. The cycle starts again.
Slowing things down would be putting the sulphur back in diesel and spraying it from jets in the upper atmosphere. Any reduction in pollution at this point will just accelerate warming as we lose the cooling effect from the particulates in the atmosphere.
Every GHG emission not done will slow down global warming. Pollution is detrimental to vegetation and thus detrimental to the only source of reliable carbon sinks we have.
Oh no it’s absolutely worse in the long term. We have the choice of being super-fucked or ultra-fucked. If we blast sulphur into the atmosphere we might get to enjoy one generation of having food and water (maybe).
I closed out may accounts just in time, a lot of work.
There is nothing international about RBC, all the benefits of HSBC are now gone. They even charge for e-transfers and their internatiinal wire transfer service is an expensive joke.
Apparently the backend of this merger is so fucked up many people can’t get access to their money currently. I have three friends who bank at RBC that can’t see/access their mortgage, chequing, savings and one can’t even use their credit card.
They contacted their banks and said they’d hear back in 3-7 business days. Absolute clown shit.
RBC has been a shitty bank for years. I switched to a credit union a couple decades ago and haven’t been happier. I got an RBC card for my business a few years ago and it didn’t take me long to remember why I hated doing business with them. Bullshit fees everywhere. Shit customer service.
Do you guys pinky swear not to launder money for the Cartels and other asshats ever again? Remember, we threatened to punish you! We didn’t actually punish you but the threat was there! Don’t make us fine you thousands on thousands of dollars of the billions you made in profit. We might do it! Probably not… but we might!
