A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I do hope China gets Fusion first.
The US isn't even in the running afaik.
Last I heard it was China and France running neck and neck.
Regardless, I don’t think anyone expected fusion soon enough to help with the climate crisis. Hopefully it will be there to continue to grow our society for the future, but we have to have human contribution to climate change effectively solved more quickly than we could get fusion.
Maybe it will help us stay in the green for the century or two it takes the climate to recover, assuming we haven’t passed any tipping points
Tbf here in France i hear experts saying that it will be a slow process and it may be viable between 2050 and 2100, so it won't be of help to reduce emissions right now
I've read on Reuters that China is probably under promising and they will do better than they claim. At least China understands that climate change is real and is trying to do something about it. Unlike some other country. The bar is on the floor, yet some countries are struggling.
Yeah. I hope China is doing more than they promise, because USA refuse to do their part.
I don't think slowing climate change is the motivation... More like to reduce dependence on fossil and become a leader in renewable techs.
Word is run according to flow of money and it's glaced in bullshit and empty promises.
Green tech is just not financially cutting it, so we are gonna drive this capitalistic mud ball of the cliff and blame everyone else.
Plus a little pollution.
How much does the second worse contributor to global warming contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gasses? Oh, they don't, they believe that the scientific fact of global warming is a hoax...
Speaking as a “proud” American, we are not second worse. We are worst overall. We’re number one! WERE NUMBER ONE!
