But last quarter Koh was forced to cut production of his chili sauces by 25%. He’s struggling to restock local supermarket outlets and his company Nanyang Sauce had to discontinue a special gift set of three chili sauces, named the “Spice of Life.”

The culprit? Climate change. Extreme weather across major chili planting regions this year has disrupted supply, pushed up prices and, worst of all, made the peppers taste milder.

If they actually worked, it would be payment to somebody who has taken an action to prevent emissions they otherwise would not have prevented. In practice, it's 90% middlemen who claim to have paid somebody to take such an action, but no such action actually occurred, or a completely ineffective action occurred.

I wouldn't say that the movement towards state action weakened under Biden; we got some great examples of it, such as the requirement for renewables in Minnesota.

Sorry, but accelerationism only gets us a lasting fascism. It doesn't get us the kid of stable world where people can substitute wind and solar for fossil fuels

They covered Project 2025 before the election, including the ties Trump's circle has to it.

This is generally not a great way to do it, since the emissions largely coming from fossil fuel burning. Fewer people doesn't help much if we burn even more.
