That’s not disproving what the article said. Heating can dominate while the impacts of white roofs are still beneficial.

For one, the sun is far more active in summer than winter, especially further up north.

I hate to be this sort of guy. But if you had read the article it mentions a study that found exactly the opposite of what you claim.

Researchers have also found that even in most cold North American climates, the energy savings from cool roofs during warmer months outweigh any added heating costs in the winter.

Incase anyone finds it useful.

✨Abolish Property✨

tell the rent extractors to fuck off

Yeah, until they flew over your house. If you think living near an airport is bad these days…. Concorde begs to differ

a traditional English term used to describe a political community as having been founded for the common good,

Ah yes, sure the indigenous peoples agree

Thanks :)

The indigenous people were doinf controlled burns and had this all under control.

But then the colonisers took over and were more woried about protecting short term property value than long term sustainability so we got overzealous fire protection as a ticking time bomb.

This heathenous map adds basque and catalan, welsh, scottish gaelic, but somehow erases breton and occitan.

I dunno how it translates french “fou” into “new”. “fou” means mad/crazy.

Arctic rivers are sending a warning. Climate change is changing the type of nitrogen they carry. This shift matters because marine life depends on a specific form of nitrogen to survive.

A new study led by Bridger J. Ruyle atNYU Tandon reveals what’s going wrong. His team tracked the six largest Arctic rivers for 20 years. What they found: these rivers now deliver much less of the usable, inorganic nitrogen. Instead, they carry more of the harder-to-use, organic kind.

You’re saying it’s a suprise Venezia (Venice), has the most yearly tourists? Seems unsuprising to me. It’s all everyone talks about.

I mean Venice has near 10 times the name recognition of say Colmar.

I think a better comparison might be Machu Pichu in Peru?

As corporate interest in ocean carbon removal grows, researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution are testing the safety and effectiveness of one such technique in the Gulf of Maine.

bakers, builders, hot tub lobbyists, and chemical companies are trying to save it.

Unlikely coalition indeed!

Ah, me a pillar of my insanity.

This is generally a good article, but unfortunately downplays the locals agency and gives a bit of “humanitarian saviour” vibes.

And for the USians joining us, “States” here means “countries”. Not regional governments like “States” in the US sense.

Edit: Are you from the US? Because sometimes in the US they refer to “social liberalism” as liberalism. If so then the arguments you are trying to make make far more sense. Vis à vis social liberalism. From Wikipedia

In Europe and North America, the establishment of social liberalism(often called simply liberalism in the United States)

Previous comment: Oh my god. No it isn’t. Liberalism is a political philsophy based on enlightenment ideals.

Like Locke’s social contract theory, hence the idea (that often fails in practice) of “consent of the governed”.

Liberalism did give us the declaration of human rights. It also gave us capitalism. It’s a complex ideology that has been dominant in the west for the past couple centuries. It is not synonymous with “Human rights”, and it is not the only ideology that claims to promote them.

Plenty of anti-capitalist ideologies arguably promote them more.

And famous liberals throughout history have been slave owners. So please please learn nuance.
