"Protesters who wear masks could face arrest, up to a month in jail and a £1,000 fine under proposed measures that human rights campaigners claim are pandering to “culture war nonsense”.

Police in England and Wales will be given the power to arrest people if they are wearing face coverings at specific demonstrations, the Home Office has said."

Been a bad 18 months or so for privacy in the UK. Online Safety Bill passed, the right to take strike action curtailed, people in receipt of benefits (including disabled people) will soon (as from 2025) have their bank accounts open to the government, the right to protest curtailed and now this.

Climate change only affects westerners? Things are going badly for the world.

Climate change affects everyone, but that doesn't mean it's an unsolvable problem. In fact, at least one country is far along the path of mitigating it.

Why don't you move there, tankie?

Oh wait...

Actively working on it dronie. It may surprise you, but learning a new language and uprooting your whole life to move to a different country is a difficult process.

You don't say? I did that three times. You know what the first time the reason was? The very act that the definition I labelled you of was born out of. You might want to look it up.

I don't need to look it up. I grew up in USSR, and I liked my life there while it lasted. What followed after was hell, and anybody who thinks capitalism is a good system is a piece of human garbage.

Some are doing better than others, but emissions aren't meaningfully improving in most other industrial countries.

As long as world powers are putting profit over everything, we are not going to “solve” climate change.

We know how to fix it. We won’t do it, because there is A LOT of money to be made by doing so.

Sure, capitalism needs to be abolished for humanity to thrive.

Climate change is not something any one country can mitigate. It's going to take all of us - the world.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

Sure, but some countries are leading the change and others are dragging all of us down https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/19/business/us-production-oil-reserves-crude/index.html
