    Why are there always anti-nuclear and articles about industries that account for “>15%” of of greenhouse emissions in the “green” community? The world burned more coal last year then it has in any previous year, yet I never see articles about the coal industry? I exclusively see articles about how if just 90% of the most powerless people in the world made their life measurably worse, thing it “would help.” Why the fuck aren’t we talking about the other systemic 85% of greenhouse gasses? Why do we need to destroy human culinary culture in order to preserve corporate profits?

        Link one? I see one thread that references the “fossil fuel industry,” which coal is certainly a part of. But honestly a comparison of the number of articles about coal vs agricultural green house gases on lemmy doesn’t really matter. But I do get the sense that cost and individual action are are given too much weight in the lemmy green community.
