Like… Yes it absolutely does. Thats why we move EVERYTHING to CO2e for papers like this. CO2e is the lingua franca of discussing global warming. Its how we can compare cows to cars to trees to inhalers.
WE DIDN’T COMPARE CARS TO INHALERS. WE COMPARED ALL INHALERS BEING MADE TOTAL TO SOME ARBITRARY NUMBER OF CARS.
That might have been only slightly more appropriate but even then it doesn’t represent one industry to another but instead some arbitrary metric.
If Carbon Emissions were a Pie then this would be just one incredibly tiny sliver.
The fuck is that only some inhaler types have been proven to be problematic, the hydrofluoroalkane propellant inhalers in contrast to the dry and powder inhalers, but I do think the language of the article and the headlines is terrible.
Several states have lower than a million pop out of the USA’s total 340 Million people, my point is that this is equivalent to measuring things in murican units like hamburgers, football fields, and Olympic swimming pools. I think drawing comparison to cars and other pollution sources totals is helpful and showing a precise per unit amount of pollution is good and informative, but taking the entire industry and measuring it in cars is stupid.
Kind of seems dumb to compare an entire industry to equivalent number of cars. The headline almost reads like 1 inhaler could equal hundreds of thousands of cars, but clearly nobody would be that stupid to think that.
Well. Maybe a few.
In the past, attempts to rehabilitate whales have taken decades and resulted in failure. The whales have simply become wholly dependent on humans to feed them and give them company.
TBH, though, most of them kept in captivity end in suicides as the reverberations from their small enclosures are like living in a room where the alarms blare 24/7 so the euthanization might actually be a gift to them.
So it comes down to putting them in the wild to die slowly or kill them outright. If I had to choose I guess I’d want them released, but I’m not really in either camp. I also really don’t like the idea of continuing their suffering in captivity.
You’re not the kind of person I was making fun of, I support you and your goals so keep at it.
Everybody, I present to you the embodiment of the point I was making, user PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S [he/him]@lemmy.sdf.org who unironically would not endorse Newsom against a Republican opponent.
Yeah but he doesn’t support trans rights so clearly he’s just as bad as the people in the openly white supremacist pedophile party. /s

FR after I posted this I saw a headline saying Trump started slurring speech and disappeared for days.
A lot of things are being held up by the courts, many things have been reversed by the courts, but yes they probably feel invincible at the moment.
I wonder how it would be received to show up to a regular protest in one of those green full body suits and this sign?
Oh they’ll always be dreaming, because they’ve always been trapped in a nightmare while awake.
I bet fitting in the smaller box would really set me up for strong negotiations.

31 U.S. Code 5112 says “No coin issued may bear the image of a living former or current President,”
The good news is this is illegal.
The bad news is Republicans probably don’t care.
A notation exists for all sarcastic comments by adding “/s” to the end of the comment. If you don’t always take comments at face value then you will risk endorsing horrible ideologies.
Ummm, actually, that’s a wallaby.
