Just theories based on the fact that the manufacturing sector in China has been hit hard over the last 2 years with key companies pulling out. This is well understood and is accelerating which surely means less manufacturing less emmisions.
I am not refuting the article, I am just pointing out that the reduction in emmisions may also be attributable to the lower demand in the manufacturing sectors. There is a lot of propaganda in these sorts of claims in all countries and all want to seem like green heros when at the end of the day the total global emmisions just continues to go up. Maybe 2023 will actually see its peak, but it is not looking that way.
I admit, I was surprised at how many people are indifferent to the truth (at best) regarding this conflict. I know some people in real life who see a lot of antisemitism in modern American society and I used to think they were paranoid but now I’m not sure what else could be motivating this sort of motivated reasoning.
The problem is, that Israel made it relatively easy to fall for these stories by doing similar things for real in the past.
So you’ve got a credible source (BBC) reporting something that’s not really unheard of (i.e. kind of plausible) and that’s happening to align with what you’ve already suspected. Bam, rumor is born.
BTW, you had the same mechanism shortly after the attacks with the “Hamas beheaded babies” stories.
His claim of it being flattened caused the BBC to report that it was likely Israel who did it because they were the only ones who had ordinance powerful enough to level a hospital:
In the first story about the hospital on the BBC on Oct 17, correspondent Jon Donnison suggested Israel was behind the blast. Speaking shortly after 8pm on BBC News, he said: “It’s hard to see what else this could be, really, given the size of the explosion, other than an Israeli airstrike or several airstrikes.”
I don’t think that most of them care. It’s like the Musk and Starlink incident. People rather stick with the original story even when it turns out to be false.
If EDF thinks I can afford to heat my flat this winter, they’ve got another thing coming. I am not too proud to live in my fuzziest pyjamas until March
You realize that the only way China could do it would be to wipe out the entire province, right?
They'd poison the Arab world against them.
Otherwise they'll have less success than the west did in Afghanistan, because their military has no experience. Other than losing fights with sticks to the Indian military.
