Poison the earth to save the earth from weather changes that would actually be good for the earth.
I don’t believe in manmade global warming. There’s just no evidence that the amounts of CO2 we are talking about could contribute to the greenhouse effect, and there is so much evidence that the cycles of the Sun (and not the greenhouse effect) drive 99.9% of weather changes on the earth anyway.
But if you could raise the earth’s temperature by a few degrees, and make the huge swaths of frozen land in Canada and Russia arable, why would you not do that?
Sea levels wouldn’t rise significantly, and if they did, seawalls are easy to build. The Philippines (poorest non-black country in the world) builds them. They are not hard to build.
Anyway, if global warming is real, why are the rich buying up very expensive property they say will be underwater in a few years?
Poisoning the entire world with PFAS in the name of changing the weather is the most insane shit that humans have ever done. This is dumber than the Holocaust hoax.
Toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” used in lithium ion batteries essential to the clean energy transition present a dangerous source of chemical pollution that new research finds threatens the environment and human health as the nascent industry scales up.
The multipronged, peer-reviewed study zeroed in on a little-researched and unregulated subclass of PFAS called bis-FASI that are used in lithium ion batteries.
Researchers found alarming levels of the chemicals in the environment near manufacturing plants, noted their presence in remote areas around the world, found they appear to be toxic to living organisms, and discovered that waste from batteries disposed of in landfills was a major pollution source.
The nation faces “two critical challenges – to minimize aquatic pollution and increase our use of clean and sustainable energy, and both are worthy causes”, said Jennifer Guelfo, a Texas Tech University researcher and study co-author.
…
The paper notes that few end-of-life standards for PFAS battery waste exist, and the vast majority ends up in municipal dumps where it can leach into waterways, accumulate locally or be transported long distances.
It looked at the presence of the chemicals in historical leachate samples and found none in those from prior to the mid-1990s, when the chemical class was commercialized.
Since very little toxicological data on bis-FASI exists, the study also checked for effects on invertebrates and zebrafish. It found effects at low exposure levels, which suggests toxicity in line with other PFAS compounds known to be dangerous.
Researchers also sampled water, soil and air around a 3M plant in Minnesota and other large facilities known to make the chemicals. The soil and water levels were concerning, Guelfo said, and detection of the chemicals in snow suggests the chemicals easily move through the atmosphere.
What is insane is that they call it “clean energy.”
It is the dirtiest shit imaginable.
If you were really worried about CO2, and you actually believed this bullshit, you would build smallish nuclear plants. We have the uranium. Burying the waste in the desert under concrete is not a big deal, environmentally. It’s not a problem. Instead, those got shut down right along with the coal plants.
No one will explain why.
I offered an amendment in @HouseCommerce to exempt lithium-ion batteries from the PFAS Action Act.
We need to bolster domestic lithium-ion battery production to support our energy future and decrease our reliance on China.
