  • That was partially true more than a decade ago, since they could have had laws in place to prevent those emissions.

    Now though they're more making things for themselves, and any attempt on their part to declare themselves a "developing country" is a sham.

  • Just like how in climate change is that we use plastic straws, don't look at how 80% of the pollution is industrial and/or Chinese in origin.

    Or in Canada where rents are so high in Vancouver and Toronto that they're redefining budgeting for renters, from 1/3 to half and even 2/3rds instead of dealing with real estate speculation.

  • Yes. There is evidence to suggest that while they(Europeans) definitely took advantage of the deaths, most of the deaths were accidental from disease. Not all of the disease was maybe quite so accidental though.

    E.G. one recorded instance in the 7 years war where British/American forces delivered blankets as a gift to nearby natives, some of the blankets were from the infirmary where there was smallpox. However, the notes and letters we have don't inform us as to whether that was an intentional move on the part of the fort commander, or a logistical error that resulted in the gift being tainted.

  • Its weird how there seems to be a group dedicated to creating and subsequently reporting on imagined faults within Larian. There have been a few articles and now that guy who used an out of date screenshot to make an unfounded claim.

    They aren't perfect, and there are a fair number of things issues in BG3.

    Like that it has a number of the same issues as their previous game, Divinity Original Sin 2. Suggesting that they didn't see those issues as issues, or didn't see a need to change their process to correct them.

  • Post WW1 we were a global power because we had one of the largest logistics chains of chemical weapons.

    Allegedly that played a role in the Nazis not using chemical weapons on troops, because Canada completely outclassed them on that.

  • Its ignoring that the Romans brutally conquered and colonized western Europe, oddly in pretty much the exact same manner that western Europe did roughly 1500-1800 years later to much of the world.

    Aka: Go in with violence, kill off and enslave upwards of a quarter to a third of the population, then trick the rest into giving you their lands with promises of fairness and copious alcohol.

    Also, Roman culture damn near worshiped the Greeks.

    They literally used the "noble savage" trope to describe the people of western Europe.

  • Right now, unless we drastically change pace, there are 5 major glaciers at risk of collapsing in the next 15-20 years.

    Each of these glaciers will independently make every coastal city(globally) uninhabitable due to sea level rise.

    The time for drastic action is now.
