Excerpt from this New York Times story:

When Parliament passed a law last month banning misleading or false environmental claims in advertising, or “greenwashing,” the reaction from an alliance of six oil sands companies was swift. The website for their Pathways Alliance, pushing a carbon capture and storage plan for oil sands emissions, more or less vanished. Most of the companies scrubbed their own websites and social media pages of everything related to environmental issues.

Once vigorously promoted by the oil industry, the Pathways Alliance website offered on Friday only a note explaining that its online presence was gone because the new law created “significant uncertainty for Canadian companies that want to communicate publicly about the work they are doing to improve their environmental performance, including to address climate change.”

But the statement also insisted that the site was not an example of greenwashing.

“This is a direct consequence of the new legislation and is not related to our belief in the truth and accuracy of our environmental communications,” the group said.

Critics are calling for a public inquiry into the actions of the Alberta Energy Regulator, after documents surfaced suggesting the agency downplayed the industry's environmental liabilities and withheld information on those costs. “The (regulator) has failed to do its job,” Opposition New Democrat energy critic Nagwan Al-Guneid said in a release Friday.

the thing about american auto is that everyone is an idiot in a very specific way, BUT when you put them all in a room together, something very special happens…their scant remaining brain cells cancel out. poof! negative brain cells. some of the worst decisions you've ever seen, over and over again. amazing television.

we need more historical whump and we also need more non-American settings like why are we all sleeping on such gorgeous aesthetics for both worldbuilding and characters

im so conflicted about gravel on the one hand it’s usually full of quite cool looking rocks and they’re very small and easy to pick up and pocket but they’re also almost certainly carted in from elsewhere and therefore don’t tell you anything about the ‘real’ geology of a given place and aren’t a good souvenir bc they’re so generic. I mean they’re specific to someplace but once they’re dumped out on the side of a road they lose all original geographic ties. however they still look cool and ill still be picking them up

Well fuck.

It was nice having clean water these last fifty years I guess. RIP to a real one, pouring one out for the significant nexus test, she was nice while we had her.
