#fuck fossil fuels

Environmental action (UK)

Hey fellow UK people: this is both easy and pretty good. Sends messages to all party leaders (including in the devolved nations I'm glad to say; pro-fossil fuel lobbyists have been putting a lot of pressure on the SNP lately and that needs nipping in the bud). Please consider doing the thing!

It gets even more fucky than that.

Chevron did not provide samples to the EPA for testing. This risk report is based on best-case and worst-case chemical analogs, which may or may not be the compound in question. The EPA report is based on best guesses.

And the best guess says:

That's from the (heavily redacted) EPA report. The 'case' column on the left is the compounds similar to the ones that make up the fuel. Notice how almost all of them pose health risks to anyone who eats a contaminated fish. See how most of them will be present in drinking water. The reason infants have a higher expectation of being affected is because the compounds cause neurodevelopmental effects and because their organs aren't developed enough to protect themselves the way adult organs are.

The fuel compounds are carcinogenic (cancer-causing) and teratogenic (birth-defect-causing, high rate of stillbirth and miscarriage). In the rest of the report, its made clear that these fuels can affect you if you inhale them - which means that anybody who lives, works, or regularly spends time in areas where this fuel is used will be affected.

This is terrifying.

If you have a basic grasp on chemistry, please read the report. Understand why this fuel is terrible so you can spread the word.

Horrible fact of the day: Chevron just released a new boat fuel that WILL give you cancer.

Not "might", not "could", WILL. It has a cancer ratio of 1:1, as in, in a group of 10 people, ALL 10 would contract CANCER.

The EPA's safety limit is 1:1,000,000 as in 1 in a million people get cancer.

The EPA approved it anyways. I am not joking. The EPA approved a boat fuel that has a near 100% chance of giving someone cancer. It has such a good chance of giving someone cancer that if you DIDN'T get cancer YOU WOULD BE AN OUTLIER.

Fuck the oil industries.

Not to arctic research au post on main but mance as a wildlife photographer for polar bears and qhorin as the guy who follows him with a gun so he doesnt get eaten is so funny to me. them doing these 6 months stints in the arctic with 0 women and qhorin has himself convinced that THIS TIME mance is going to realize hes gay and they can make out and then mance gets his helicopter shipment of titty mags in and beats off every morning before breakfast to playboy models and qhorin punches holes in their canvas yurt

Really gross that republicans are supporting oil drilling and fossil fuels and then saying they had it coming for voting blue and god is punishing them and shit.

Not that it's unexpected, just gross.

Crying alone in my silent room at night bc of old politicians that are fucking up the world with their greed just cause they won't be here to see the consequences of their actions and are dooming the next generation is such an autistic sense of justice slay for me.

Don't forget the reason the U.S. is supporting Israel's genocide of Palestine - hell, 90% of the reason they ever get involved into something in the Middle East is for ulterior purposes regarding oil.

That and the Ben Gurion Canal project, which you can learn more about:

I remember that I was in one of those endlesss "Renewables vs. Nuclear" debates in some obscure forum and someone hit me with "but renewables have a lot of toxic byproducts" and I told them "as opposed to nuclear waste that doesn't go away, ever?"
