In addition to “climate change” and “green,” EERE forbid officials from using “emissions” to avoid the implication that they are a negative. Climate change is caused by rising greenhouse gas emissions, which is driven primarily by burning oil, coal and natural gas for energy.
Other terms officials must ditch include “energy transition,” “sustainability/sustainable,” “‘clean’ or ‘dirty’ energy,” “Carbon/CO2 ‘Footprint’” and “Tax breaks/tax credits/subsidies.”

emissionwas like that of horses.- Ezekiel 23:20
It doesn’t get any more 1984 than the government banning words they think are icky.

Can’t wait for press conferences from these officials to be stripped down to Kevin’s level.
Because the old “$2.99 looks more like 2 dollars than 3 dollars” works on the masses they discovered that through social fuckery and behaviourism they are able to make us think and do almost anything. Fuck this bullshit. Let’s find the warm sun again and start building a future and leave all of this power crap behind.
LoL, we’re not gonna have anything but the “warm” sun in the near future.
Don’t you use the word emission quite a bit in nuclear?
Now they’re just immigrant protons.
And aren’t ground wires green?
The Trump regime is a terrorist organization and should be treated as such.
Can’t wait until enough people are upset that the guillotines come out.
There are very few things more terrifying than a civil war. Americans jumping straight to wishing for one, ignoring millions of less murdery ways to fix their country never stops creeping me out. You guys are deeply fucked in more ways then one.
To clarify: Not American
Soo, how exactly are you planning to fix the shitshow that the states are in rn? A leader heavily leaning to totalitarianism, most of executive power in the hands of his cronies, and you get shit like national guard unlawfully stationed in major cities, while censoring many of new-age issues and executive orders left and right that legalize bribery a remove power in order for him to stay in power.
And don’t fucking say to “just vote”. Apparently it didn’t work so much last time.
Don’t even get me started on trying to educate the people. 8 hours work, 1 hour commute, 8 hours sleep, taking care of kids, house, and you are left with like 4. What are you gonna do? Argue with paid trolls online and absolutely waste energy? Slip into people’s DMs to talk about politics? Make videos that probably 10 people will see, at most?
Yeah, shit deal. Do you think it will be better if there will be a fucking war? Not “Good guys killed all the bad guys and there is a socialist utopia going on” war, those don’t exist, more like “there is a tank where my living room used to be and all my family died in the last shootout” kind of war.
I lost my country long ago, we had our authoritarian resurgence a decade and a half ago, everyone was too apathetic to do anything, and those who tried got mocked by the likes of you, with their “ah, what are you gonna do, waste time arguing with people?”. America is going the same route very quickly to the same tune.
If you want a broad answer to “what should I do”, well, you aren’t american, so nothing, focus on your country. Americans should do anything. It usually starts with building the community and identifying clear local goals, because you’re correct that one person can do shit, a group of people with a political position however can do something.I mean, yes? The system is designed to keep everyone too exhausted/stress/scared to bother trying to do anything. At this point in the US, if you only have 4 hours of your day to educate yourself on the current situtation, talk to others about it, and do something (even if it seems like just a drop in the ocean), yes, abso-fucking-lutely yes, spend those 4 hours doing that!
4 hours? You and the person above are overestimating how much free time working parents have each day. I’m lucky to get 30 minutes, and I only get that because I’m hiding in the bathroom.
My point is even with only 30 minuntes, yes, when fascism has already taken root those minutes should be spent on fighting back however possible.
are you gonna start us off?
I already killed the billionaire CEO of a health insurance company.
The authorities got the wrong guy so I’m going to keep going.
There’s no point in organizing because that just makes us easier to stop before we begin. Also, there’s a 0% chance we can trust the people in such an organization because there will always be scumbags and morons eager to support their oppressors.
Posting this is a great way to get your house searched by the authorities.
Sounds like something that would happen in a fascist regime.
Fuck these assholes, fuck this country, fuck everything.
Still can’t believe the government has a banned word list for scientific reports.
They’re just working up to banning science.
You mean banning
scienceliberal shit talk non facts?(how every conversation starts looking next year)
They have morons on both sides already eager to do that for them.
Remember when science could be debated? Now we just have to accept everything as fact without question if it supports the correct agenda.
Questioning science gets you banned, lol. It may as well be religion at that point.
Questioning what science gets you banned from what, by whom? Scientists question science all the time. You’d need to give examples to explain what you’re referring to.
If one side of a discussion on facts has data and the other has opinions what is there to debate?
I remember a time when hard data was debatable - it was ten minutes ago. We’re trapped in a timeline where data is disregarded in favour of comfortable lies.
Why address climate change if one can instead engage in mass self-deception.
That’s literally not how science works or has ever worked
“Questioning science” is literally part of the scientific method. Every single scientist is constantly doing it.
Climate unaliving
“Freeze peach” and all that.
what did peach do to deserve being frozen?
It’s odd to me that they even have a banned words list to begin with
The government is owned by billionaires and they ban words that make line go up slower.
Whoever has the biggest bunker wins.
I’m not American but I know American academics and they have told me they are being pulled into meetings and given lists of words they must not use. So much for all the “free speech” whining from Republicans.
Conservatives are, and have always been, about power over others. We kept their more evil nature’s focused externally for a while with cold war, but without an external threat to point them at, they always turn on their neighbors eventually.
“Free speech” for republicans is just “I want to say the worst hateful, racist, bigoted shit out loud without repercussions”
“And punish you for daring to think about ‘policing’ me by calling me out.”
I’m not sure how they mean it here. But “banned words” aren’t always meaning censorship. In an academic or journalistic sense it can just mean replacing words with more accurate phrasing or more clearly defined words to ensure consistency.
Unfortunately, it’s also used to spin a narrative or outright censor things as well. Like the NYT banning the word “genocide” during an active genocide.
Lol ok

Imagine being so invested in bullshit that you have to censor any and all terms that contradict it.
Really, it’s no wonder that Trump and his cronies and minions are so filled with rage - they’re in a constant state of extreme cognitive dissonance.
And it makes sense in a way that they direct their rage at “woke” people and positions. From their limited, animalistic points of view, all they understand is that when they think of “woke,” they’re filled with rage. They aren’t conscious enough to understand that the source of the rage isn’t the positions or the people, but the cognitive dissonance they experience when they cling to their opposition to simple and obvious truths.
It has to be a miserable way to live, and if they weren’t an existential threat to me, my family and friends, and society as a whole, I’d feel sorry for them.
his cronies and minions are so filled with rage - they’re in a constant state of extreme cognitive dissonance.
And that will be their own undoing. Fascists are fully driven by emotions. They are anti-liberal and anti-intellect after all.
Y’all upset about all this… orbital heating? We really should reduce the amount of gassy leakages from cars and cows.
Too many car farts makes air go hot hot.
