What terrifies congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

Another advantage of the sink garbage disposal is that your sink will not get clogged accidentally. It’s one less thing to have to worry about cc: @AOC

For people who cook at home, the sink garbage disposal is a life saver. People who have ever disposed the pieces of chicken that don’t end up in the pot will attest. Put some uncooked chicken skin in your garbage and see what happens overnight. https://t.co/ePr9iBFxCc

"Green energy policies bring power giant to €7 billion loss"

The Local Germany News In English:  Germany's number one power supplier, said in a statement that massive writedowns on its electricity plants pushed it deep into the red, but at an underlying level, operating profit was "in line with expectations."

"We posted solid operating results in a very difficult market environment," said chief executive Johannes Teyssen. "Our numbers reflect the far-reaching structural transformation that our industry is experiencing and that continues unabated in the current year....

But despite the difficulties, the company said it had succeeded in reducing its net debt "significantly to €27.7 billion."

"Greenpeace damages ancient earth markings leaving footprints in the ground during a publicity stunt"

A spokesman for Greenpeace said: “Without reservation Greenpeace apologises to the people of Peru for the offence caused by our recent activity laying a message of hope at the site of the historic Nazca lines. We are deeply sorry for this.

The activists had entered a strictly prohibited area beside the figure of a hummingbird among the lines, the culture ministry said, and they had laid down big yellow cloth letters reading “Time for Change! The Future is Renewable” as the UN climate talks began in Peru’s capital.

“This has been done without any respect for our laws. It was done in the middle of the night. They went ahead and stepped on our hummingbird, and looking at the pictures we can see there’s very severe damage,” Castillo said. “Nobody can go on these lines without permission – not even the president of Peru!”

National Geographic: "It's Time to Stop Thinking That All Non-Native Species Are Evil"

Excerpt...

 

"After all, nativeness is just one environmental value, and arguably not as important as preventing extinctions and preserving biodiversity. In some cases we can best serve biodiversity by leaving the non-natives alone or even—brace yourself, now—introducing them on purpose."

"This is the thinking behind, for example, installing the Aldabra tortoise on the islands of Mauritius. The islands lost their own large tortoises, and the fruiting plants that formerly had their seeds moved around by these fruit-loving reptiles have been on the decline. A tortoise that's related to the island's large tortoises—a non-native from the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean that was intentionally introduced in 2004—is now handling some of that work."

 

Daily Caller: "130 Environmental Groups Call For An End To Capitalism"

"Environmentalists have declared that global warming can’t be stopped without ending the “hegemonic capitalist system,” saying that cap-and-trade systems and conservation efforts are “false solutions.”

“The structural causes of climate change are linked to the current capitalist hegemonic system,” reads the final draft of the Margarita Declaration, presented at a conference including about 130 environmental groups.

Environmental activists met in the oil producing, socialist country of Venezuela as part of a United Nations-backed event to increase civil engagement in the lead up to a major climate conference. (video at the link)

"Leaked UN global warming report written by environmental activists"

"While many media outlets focused on the UN’s warnings about the effects global warming will have on food production, the Canadian journalist who leaked the report on Monday has focused on the role environmental activists played in reaching these conclusions."

“One would expect a body that says it’s conducting a scientific assessment to choose people who are clean as a whistle for such a task,” writes Donna Laframboise. “People who exemplify science at its best — neutral, dispassionate, disinterested scholars. But that’s not what happened.”
