  3. #Carpocalypse sur #ClermontFerrand aujourd'hui.

    Pourquoi? Parce que notre nouveau maire de droite joue le bras de fer avec la #T2C, #TransportsEnCommun #Clermontois : réduction des budgets, suppression des couloirs #bus/trambus.

    Du coup, c'est la #GrèveDesTransports et sans surprise, un jeudi post-rentrée de septembre, tous les grands axes #automobiles sont bloqués.

    Seuls les #piétons et les #cyclistes tirent leur épingle du jeu.

    Bravo M. Bony, surtout ne changez rien et continuez à supprimer des couloirs bus (oui, c'est annoncé Cours Sablon, Bd Mitterrand + suppression de la #ZTL de l'hyper-centre)

    Merci #vroomer !

  11. It's NOT a wonderful life when #ClimateChange is involved!

    Oscar-Winning Director #FrankCapra Made an Educational Science Film Warning of Climate Change in 1958

    in Education, Environment, Film, Science | July 15th, 2024

    "Shown on American TV and later in US classrooms, The Unchained Goddess explains what weather is, and how weather works. And, really quite presciently, it talks about the risk of man-made climate change … in 1958. One of the narrators declares:

    "Even now, man may be unwittingly changing the world’s climate through the waste products of its civilization. Due to our releases in #factories and #automobiles every year of more than six billion tons of #CarbonDioxide, which helps the air absorb heat from the sun, our atmosphere may be getting warmer.

    "And is that bad, the question gets asked?:

    'Well, it’s been calculated a few degrees rise in the Earth’s temperature would melt the polar ice caps. And if this happens, an inland sea would fill a good portion of the Mississippi valley. Tourists in glass bottom boats would be viewing the drowned towers of Miami through 150 feet of tropical water.
