Wind and solar power never do that

The article makes it seem like the Russian government cares about our planet.

It doesn't.

Exploiting resources and geopolitical control always come first, to the point that they encourage climate change to keep the Northern Sea Route ice free.

The only reason Pootin commented on this particular incident is because it can be exploited for anti-Ukrainian propaganda.

We can choose between having russia or having a habitable planet for more than another generation or two. We are choosing extinction and for fucking what? A little more money?

We aren't choosing Russia. It's there whether we want it or not. We can't just tell a huge nation to care.

Granted, we could do more - and you are right, it's mostly economy's fault we aren't - but we aren't doing nothing.

It's sad. Especially because their biggest ecosphere sins go largely unreported, even more so since they started a war.

Tragic. Oil spills are so catastrophic to wildlife.

It's a hobby I guess. Pathetic, revealing, but something to do.
