Yeah, the fastest way to slow global warming is to keep it in the ground.

Isn't plastic waste a form of sequestered carbon?

I've had a post from Mondoweiss, a progressive publication headed by Jewish people critical of Israel, pulled by a Lemmy mod. Not for a problem with any of the article's content, of course, but because mediabiasfactcheck put the publication in the same category as Stormfront.

QUESTIONABLE SOURCE

A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency, and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for the purpose of profit or influence (Learn More). Sources listed in the Questionable Category may be very untrustworthy and should be fact-checked on a per-article basis. Please note sources on this list are not considered fake news unless specifically written in the reasoning section for that source. See all Questionable sources.

Overall, we rate Mondoweiss Left Biased and Questionable based on the promotion of antisemitic misinformation.

The ADL has attacked Mondoweiss in the past, and mediabiasfactcheck mentions the ADL in its justification for its classification. This is not just harmful to the credibility of the ADL, but destructive to a much wider infrastructure for protecting Jewish people.

Eva Borgwardt said it well:

We’re seeing a genuine rise in antisemitic attacks and white nationalist, white supremacist, antisemitic hate and violence. When white nationalism is on the rise, to cheapen the accusation of antisemitism by applying it to Palestinian rights advocates, including Jews, is incredibly irresponsible and dangerous.

Making concrete is the cover story when they're actually using the recaptured CO2 to pump more oil out of their wells.

'The Jews' are not committing war crimes in Gaza, the IDF is. Assigning actions of a related political body to an entire ethnic group is racism.

The Arabs want Israel gone and the Jews killed

I don't appreciate your casual racism.

Amusingly, this is the reason given by Vietnam for banning the Barbie movie from theaters.

Some required reading whenever journalists uncritically report retailer's narratives:

An electron is both a particle and a wave. This can be confusing, because an electron can also create waves (called photons, which are both waves and particles too) when it changes energies. Basically if you measure an electron's position, it will behave like a particle, but when unmeasured, it will exist in a region of space described by a probability equation, like a wave. If you measure the location repeatedly over a time period and super-impose those measurements, it will look like a cloud of electrons taking the shape of the electron's probable location in space. But when it is not being measured, it doesn't constantly 'move' - it exists everywhere inside that shape at the same time, the same way a sound exists everywhere in a room at once.

Those regions of probability are called orbitals, but they don't look like planetary orbits -- that's just the name they got from Bohr's flawed model. Here's a sample of some of the more elegant shapes an orbital can take. In these pictures, the hazy cloud you might see in the super-imposed example is replaced with a solid shell so the shape is more obvious.

The pictured shapes are all scaled to look roughly the same size, but with more electrons, you get larger and stranger shaped electron clouds, which again, represent the likelyhood of finding an electron there if you measured it.
