I tried deleting my files but I was age checked...

Fk UK government

The country is riddled with leaky mains pipes because water companies are more concerned with allocating huge bonuses to themselves than they are with fixing infrastructure.

Now we're courting tech companies to build more data centres that our other shitty infrastructure (electric) isn't even fit to support because magic money tree go brrrrrrr

This is mandated recycling 2.0. Fill supermarkets with products 99% of which come in plastic wrappers, only successfully recover a fraction of that, and then tell the consumer they're the ones destroying the environment.

If they can fit my 5 recycling boxes up their rear, then they can shove this up their arse too.

You know what you're right. It's too hard. I think running out of water is maybe the better option.

I'm not sure how is this applicable?

If you have storage for documents, they will fill it up and you have to remove them.

Why do I have to drink ocean water when they're the ones wasting it all?

One shitpost meme video in your downloads folder = hundreds of Word docx files. Pick the low hanging fruit.

Good for you, that's not the norm though and you know that.

Lol, sorry, I meant that for them, not for you. Should have written 'maybe they should just stop pulling water from those “stores of freshwater” for cooling purposes and get their own from the ocean'.

cool. and watch the entire right wing go mad over “net zero wokery” and “stealth taxes choking our economy to death.” then watch reform win with a landslide and bulldoze the entire net zero agenda and see where we end up.

How about deleting private ownership of utilities instead?

Hell yeah!

Ah. It should be the norm though.

The right will always complain no matter what you do, so why bother listening to them and capitulating?

sensibly managing the economy and balancing the need to achieve reduced emissions with the need to maintain a functional economy is not capitulating, and indeed being seen to carefully maintain that balance might be key to election victory in four years time.

"If we try to make the world a better place, the conservatives will use that as a pretext to do what they're already doing"

There was an onion article about almost exactly that lol.

They're already saying our plan to tackle climate change is going to hurt the economy. But we know that doing nothing will hurt the economy worse. Being scared of them saying what they're already saying is weak and cowardly. Toughen up and do the right thing.

I don't think I will. In fact, I think I'll download more.

There are many solutions to this problem. Evaporative cooling is just the cheapest. But it's only cheap because we don't charge these water users market rates for water. If they're threatening drinking water or agricultural water we should just charge them for water usage the same as you pay for drinking water at home. That's fundamentally what they're taking when they drain the rivers dry. That way they compete directly on the water market instead of bypassing it.

They'll install adiabatic coolers in no time.
