No, but it is the result of deregulation. Similar models sold in Canada don't have this issue because (drumroll please), federal regulations require immobilizers on new cars. Free market at work folks.

I'm not sure if you're joking, but in case you're not, the bidet sprays clean water from the wall, not dirty water from the bowl.

Y'all really don't read the articles. The UN already has reports on greenwashing woth pretty solid definitions and recommendations. The report was linked in the article.

Excerpt from the linked UN report:

Our report also specifically addresses the core concerns raised by citizens, consumers, environmentalists and investors around the use of net zero pledges that make greenwashing possible. Our recommendations are clear that:

• Non‑state actors cannot claim to be net zero while continuing to build or invest in new fossil fuel supply. Coal, oil and gas account for over 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions. net zero is entirely incompatible with continued investment in fossil fuels. Similarly, deforestation and other environmentally destructive activities are disqualifying.

• Non-state actors cannot focus on reducing the intensity of their emissions rather than their absolute emissions or tackling only a part of their emissions rather than their full value chain (scopes 1, 2 and 3).

These recommendations explicitly cover the ad campaign discussed in OP's article, as well as many other greenwashing ad campaigns.

What they've done is reprehensible but this is simply misinformation, that livestream has been up for weeks.

It's the instance owner. Another reason to use instances other than world and ml.

Hi and welcome! Our take is a little bit more nuanced than that, if I may be bold enough to speak on behalf of the community. We understand that most people don't have a choice but to own and drive a car for most of your everyday needs: here we call that car dependence. The sane among us recognize that most people didn't necessarily choose this way of living, and most acknowledge that those who enjoy it have that right.

We do recognize that car dependence has a lot of negative impacts on society: from climate to economy to health to geopolitics and more (there's whole books on the subject). And we're a growing group of people who strive to build a better world than the one we inherited. What that means is taking action to reduce car dependence and instead promote alternatives like public transit, walkable towns, and cities built for people (not for cars). It's a multifacted issue, far beyond the (incendiary) name implies. This discussion is about trains and how safe they are compared to cars, which kill over 50 thousand people a year in the United States, and injure millions more. It doesn't have to be this way.

Wouldn't it be great to not have to drive 30 miles each day? That's the kind of future we're trying to build for the growing number of people who desire that. Accomplishing that is difficult and takes time and political action that many in this community are trying to build.

I'm all in on the Wild Emperor arc. When he finds out the neo heros are just as corrupy as the HA he's in for a bad time.
