As bad as it is how few people within sports are pushing back on gambling, that people outside of sports know nothing about this is even worse.

The stated assumption in e.g. Alberta (where I'm from), has been that we were too small to really move the needle, and it would be suicide to "hobble" ourselves when China kept increasing emissions anyways
So, uh, yeah
So, uh, yeah
This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

This is roughly Alberta's anthem
one of the things i think most people are too cowardly to say in the context of chat about a Just Transition for fossil fuel workers is that a lot of them will just not be happy no matter how just that transition is because at core they don't want to transition
tbf it isn't all gender it's also partly literally just wanting to get the votes of people in outdated industries
