What is the price to use Facebook?

a surface-level “win” that doesn’t actually cost Canada anything.

Except for billions of dollars of tax revenue.

NDP was suppose to be the in-between of Liberal and Conservative

Good thing children only exist during business hours.

There are no medieval equivalents to YouTube channels, since YouTube wasn’t invented for at least a decade after the medieval period.

• walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes to warmup
• look at your phone while sitting in the toilet for 10 minutes
• walk around looking at weights/machines for as long as you can until someone notices
• pick an exercise with all the machines taken, stand around looking at phone until one frees up
• 1x8 with no weight to warmup
• 3x5 with a random amount of weight, 300 second rest
• look at the time, if you have been there longer than 45 minutes, round up to one hour
• drive through Wendy’s for a large baconator combo on the way home. Diet coke though, we’re trying to be healthy

That’s a lot to keep in your head just to maintain a lifestyle.

I heard speed has something to do with it.

What’s a power bottom?

Yes, all domestic flights in North America are Seattle to NYC.

With the current level of train infrastructure and service, I agree with you. That is why domestics flights are a thing. But trains would be a much better choice if rail wasn’t actively defunded and sabotaged for the last 70 years or so.

Its this lack of imagination of what could be (and already exists around the world) that makes everyone laugh at Americans.

Domestic flights should basically not be a thing. Trains should be the default option if you don’t have to cross an ocean.

I think a bigger part of the production emissions come from further up the supply chain than the factory. Such as extraction, refinement and shipping of the lithium and cobalt required for batteries. That is also what makes it hard to estimate.

My point was that switching to EVs will not make transportation emissions disappear.

An EV still produces about 30% of the lifetime CO2 emissions of an equivalent ICE, assuming a 100% clean grid [1]. So unless we change the systems that are putting more and more cars on the road, and increasing vehicle miles traveled each year, emissions will continue to rise.

Cars only really became available to the public in the 20s or 30s. I bet your city was overrun by cars by the 50s. Cities drastically changed over just a few decades. Why should it take significantly longer to go in the reverse direction? Other than a lack of political will.

edit: I’m not against EVs overall. I know there will always be a need for cars/trucks to some extent, and I think they should all be EVs. But don’t let that be a distraction from actual meaningful climate action.

I interpreted the meteors/city on fire as short hand for general armageddon because it is probably pretty hard to draw; in a single comic panel: droughts, crop failure, wild fires, floods, severe storms, wars over fresh water, etc. You know, the actual things that will kill people from climate change.

But if you interpret the meteors as literal, then what is the point of the comic? A swarm of meteors is not influenced at all by someones choice to drive an EV or not. So this comic is no longer a critique of that choice.
