Sort of, Chromium is maintained by Google, Brave and its users just sit atop the Goggle shitpile and help enable it to contine.

No one has to fly. Luckily 7 billion people don't, or the ecological and climate mess would be even worse. Flying is the new climate denial. Know it's bad and do it anyway, impactoary denial.

A good first step would be recognising the difference between needs and wants

The Austrain Government just announced that gas is an important part of our emissions reduction framework.

I shit you not, Australian climate policy is literally

  1. speak some bullshit
  2. move on to the next issue
  3. Goto 1.

Insurance industry on the brink ? They made record profits last year and flooding in northern Australia is now stupidly underwritten by the federal government.

Australia's QBE Insurance annual profit more than doubles

The industry itself is hugly profitable, the real question is, how much longer can this ponzi insurance last ?

Australins are some of the biggest climate deniers on the planet, with zero moves to making a sustainable continent. As an Australian my empathy lies with the impoverished in other parts of the world, which our emsisions are destroying.

The question here is will their call be drowned out by the incessant braying of Trump?
