Unfortunately while PLA is technically biodegradable, it requires very specific conditions that can only be achieved in dedicated facilities. So it's not like you can throw it in the composting bin and be done with it. It will also survive for a long time in nature.

    Anyone who thinks there will be fair elections needs to wake the fuck up. Look at how much Trump has changed what is considered normal in just 3 months. By the time mid term elections come around none of the institutions that allow for elections to happen normally will even exist anymore. I doubt the presendential elections will happen at all, by then the economy will be so far in shambles that America will be in survival mode.

    Americans need to step up now, if you wait for elections you will be too late.

    The Dutch equivalent of The Onion actually send a cease and desist letter to one of our ministers, because they can't compete with the shit she is saying (this woman gives Trump's government a run for their money in terms of both evilness and incompetence)

    Spare parts are being manufactured in Europe too though. There's a big maintenance hub in The Netherlands and Italy is producing complete F35s. I'm sure Europe can figure it out if when the US goes completely off the rails.

    Cruiseships are still much, much more polluting even though they carry thousands of people. Look st some of the graphs here: https://www.transportenvironment.org/articles/luxury-cruise-giant-emits-10-times-more-air-pollution-sox-all-europes-cars-study

    For example looking at Barcelona, the 105 cruiseships that arrived in a year there polluted 5-6x as much as half a million cars did that year. So by that metric, for 1 cruiseship, you can operate 25000 cars.

    One cruise operator alone had a pollution in Europe 10 times that of all cars in Europe. Another cruise operator added another 4 times the European car fleet. So if we were to ban all cars in Europe, that would only compensate 7% of the emissions of two of the cruise ship operators.

    This is an animalistic society that sanctifies death. Very soon, we will erase their smile again and replace it with cries of grief and the wails of those who were left with nothing

    Does he see the irony in this statement?

    In positive news, the ICJ won't have anymore issues proving the "intent" part of the genocide claims, he pretty much spelled it out for them.
