I'm seeing climate collapse denialism go around Fediverse today, in the form of about "last year the US used more renewable energy than oil for the first time!" Here's some key facts: 1) Growing corn with petrol fertilizer? doesn't count as using oil for energy in these stats 2) Turning that corn into diesel? Counts as using renewables for energy 3) Our oil production and use dropped *due to destruction of facilitaties due to environmental disaster and anti-imperial sabotage* In truth, last year, we burned 10 units of oil for every 9 units of rewewable we got, and that ignores any of the rest of the economy. The net effect of the fake news is that it convinces folk that climate breakdown and the energy cliff we are about to face are less dire than it is, and being more managed than it is, and neither of those things is true. In general, given how much paid media re-inforces the "everything is fine" attitude, I bet you can just make a safe decision that if you *never* share stuff that makes climate collapse and the energy crisis seem less severe, and ONLY share information that makes it seem worse, you will probably still not do enough to balance the information folk are seeing toward anything kind of truthful. that some of y'all are sharing corporate bullshit without clocking it, or the effect that sharing it might have on your associates, tells me you're probably a bit too tired to be serving as a broadcast journalist through your social media profiles, and should probably go fix a cup of tea or go for a walk or even just stare at the ceiling for a bit to reflect on these things.
