    not really much normal people can do. voted green on the basis of them pushing work from home (30% carbon reduction) but once in office they dropped that idea, implemented “turbo migration” and forced homeowners (mainly famillies who took loans) to take out more loans to install solar while reducing paid parental leave. basically worst backstab me and my family have ever seen.

    even if france as a whole turned 0 emissions, that wouldnt change anything if everyone else is doing business as usual.

        Sometimes I wish Ibrahim Traoré paid a visit to Paris. With the other goats coming along, of course.

      now contrast this with what China is doing and it becomes clear that different outcomes are possible

        Last time i checked china was mostly reliant on coal ? They shifted the energy production to something else ? Genuine question, if they took impactfull measures i’d be hapy to hear about it

          China bootstrapped using fossil fuels because that was the only technology available, but they’ve been transitioning away from using fossil fuels at a mind boggling rate. China still uses fossil fuels, but I think it’s fair to call it an electrostate at this point.

              Thanks to war on Iran, a lot of countries might not have a choice now.

          The US is mostly reliant on China, and china’s manufacturing is slowly decreasing coal consumption, while rapidly increasing solar, wind and hydro.

          You’re talking with the biggest tankie on Lemmy. They’re banned from .world, I just changed instances, and there they pop up.

          I had an account on .ml a long time ago when Lemmy was mostly empty. A big portion of the posts were from this person alone.
          Ukrainian invasion …

          Look at their post history : west bad, China good. That’s it. I don’t know how anyone with half a brain can trust such an obvious propagandist, and yet they’re flourishing on .ml.

          Do yourself a favor, block this account.

          I had their post analyzed with an AI once (so take it with the caution it deserves). posts over 10 days: Total Summary:

          • China: 7 Positive, 3 Neutral, 0 Negative.
          • Russia: 4 Positive, 0 Neutral, 0 Negative.
          • USA: 0 Positive, 0 Neutral, 37 Negative.
          • Europe: 0 Positive, 0 Neutral, 11 Negative.

            Okay well believing China does things better than the west doesn’t make you a tankie. I also believe there are many things China does better than the west but I guess that’s all subjective.
