Something feels particularly apocalyptic about needing to wear an N95 on my way to an interview about a race that celebrates the very machines that are accelerating the climate crisis that’s fueling the reason Chicago currently has the worst air quality in the world.
Something feels apocalyptic about the news crew being late getting to the agreed location because they were on foot and couldn’t find their way across the NASCAR course. Our priorities are fully fucked.
@itskylelucas Cars aren't accelerating a fabricated climate crisis - climate changes daily and has since Earth was created. Blaming cars for the wildfires in Canada is nonsensical unless a lithium battery Tesla fire started it
@itskylelucas @itskylelucas Now you know how we felt in the Northeast a few weeks ago
@itskylelucas The Chicago Transit Authority has released new figures today that ridership on public transit is skyrocketing in Chicago. All the less cars this week offsets Nascar 10 fold.
@itskylelucas Maybe if environmentalists in Canada didn’t fight to prevent proper forest management we wouldn’t have to worry about massive forest fire smoke in the US
@itskylelucas For those saying the smoke is not climate related, Vox has an interview with a Canadian Forest Service fire scientist that explains it: vox.com/climate/2023/6…
