The planet is warming at a record pace. So why are many companies retreating from their climate targets?
(www.cbc.ca)
So they never actually meant to hit those targets? 
Amaize said another reason corporations may appear to be retreating on their climate targets is a phenomenon she calls "green-hushing." That is, as a result of anti-greenwashing legislation such as amendments to Canada's Competition Act under Bill C-59, some companies might be reluctant to tout their environmental measures for fear of being sued for false claims.
A prominent example is the Pathways Alliance, a consortium of Canada's six biggest oilsands companies, which removed almost all content from its website and social media feeds in June in response to C-59.
The most bazinga of the billionaires (and their smuglord stans that sometimes show up here) are now insisting that their treat printers will somehow solve the climate crisis rather than just contribute to it.
It's a fucking cult and it disgusts me.
Effective Altruism. :smuglord: :this-is-fine:
Make the rich richer at a faster rate and le epic Roko's Basilisk might spare you a million+ similations of yourself being tortured. My beliefs are very rational!

Actual quote I heard yesterday: “I don’t think net zero is possible without AI”
I saw something very close to that from one of Hexbear's local computer touchers: not only are the treat printers supposedly impossible to regulate in any meaningful way, but that they'd totally solve climate change somehow instead of just contributing to it, just you wait. Robot god any moment now.
Just one more data center bro. I swear we’ll eliminate climate change if I can just get my fix.
:(
It's a race to develop the Torment Nexus before civilization collapses from climate change disasters.
