Offshoring emissions through used vehicle exports

This is why it is almost impossible to solve climate problems without entire humanity effort. There are always the poor countries to sweep those issues under their carpet, which, of course, are happy to buy a cheap shit, since nobody there can afford anything else. It is the same with the garbage and waste, by the way. But this harmful practice is completely "normal" in our society, because it is just the trade, a pillar of the economies..

We need more trade-free resources and services, which can be naturally focused on making our environment better and not making business profitable and also can be adopted by the less developed countries since it is absolutely free to use.

wait, are they saying they become cleaner as a nation if they (whoever tribe it is) are sending their old polluting cars to poorer countries?

I think, the article basically says that there are tons of ways to manipulate the "reduction of the CO2 emissions" for a particular country (GB is a researched country, but there are entire regions like US, EU, Japan) by selling polluting used cars to other countries that have no proper climate change regulation standards. Which is why you cannot solve the problem by just agreeing with the "most rich countries" about some standards and thus solve the climate change. Trade opportunities will always find a way..

Yes, and after that some countries will report that they fixed the issue, look at our numbers 🤦‍♂️
We have one Planet ffs, we cannot keep throwing shits to the others' fans and expect the pieces of it will never return back.

yeah like Norway or Denmark they are so clean....unless you account for the fact that most of the shit they consume, from food to clothes, materials to their solar panels, is made in "very polluting tribes". it is like hiring criminals to kill people and then claiming that you are not killing people because you personally did not kill anyone....

...and you're assuming that here in the EU everything is fine. I'm an #ebike rider in Portugal, where out in the countryside, there's still thousands of vehicles with defective, stolen or removed emission control mechanisms, or still legal but just pre-dating effective controls. Practically all the old farmers have them.

These drivers often have to demonstrate their frustration at having their pace on tiny roads set 5km/hr slower by a bike, meaning they /have to/ struggle past, foot to the floor benching thick black toxic-smelling smoke for kilometres. Often I have to stop, wait for the fumes to clear before proceeding.













Passed the bloody stupid written driving exam haha!! After 2 months of torture. No more! Fuck it. I still have to pass the driving practice test but that is in like 3 months from now...takes so long. But am not that concerned about that one. Anyway, I will have time these next months to perhaps start a new video series for TROM, let's see!




Now TROMnews has categories for the news to make it a lot easier to sort through them.

The homepage also got a bit of a rework for the News section:

TROMnews is now far better than it was before. If you'd like to support this work please consider helping us here tromsite.com/donate/

TROMnews News is a bit overwhelming now, and I am going to try and fix it these days. I will try to add the news into categories such as health, tech, science, environment, so it is easier for people to follow the news. Now we get tens of news a day....overwhelming.

Monday I have the written driving exam, so today and tomorrow I am preparing more. I fuck hope I'll pass it. I learned a lot and out of the online tests they gave me I have passed more than 90% of them. Thousands and thousands of questions....so let's see. Considering the deplorable state of the english translation for these tests, I may fail it....

I want to start a video series but first I need to see how's with the riving exam on Monday....
