You didn't mention about how they said all the MoonSwatch models would be available for purchase online and then later pulled that back and none of them are available online.

Also, many of those who were pissed about the MoonSwatch ripping off Omega were also pissed about not being able to buy one.

If you don't understand the mechanisms of arithmetic, algebra is going to be a challenge. If you don't understand algebra, lots of other things that are applicable to daily life and trades are also out.

I use geometry and trig for gardening. I do unit conversions (algebra) in cooking. I use simple probablilty in gaming.

All of this comes down to my ability to perform arithmetic operations on abstract symbols. A calculator can give me the numeric results, but it can't help me manipulate the equation to get the answer I need.

Fully agreed. Part of the fixing the systemic problem includes changing individual behaviors, but that can still only be done with altering systemic structures.

"Individual responsibility" is a lie made up by the wealthy to justify their increasing theft.

You probably won't get most people to switch to bikes by selling them on fighting climate change anyway. You get them to switch to bikes by making it more convenient to bike than to car. This requires a ratchet of policy that deemphasizes car infrastructure and invests in bike infra instead. That investment can include climate change accomodations like adding trees or artificial shading to bike paths/lanes or more aid stations with water/misters/cooling.

Does anyone have a link to the original study? I'm interested in the methodology. In other conversations about studies on this subject, people have printed out that there is tilting of the method... For instance counting non-arable ranchland used for grazing as "farmland" for comparison in land usage, and also counting all the greenhouse emissions of farmed animal feed even if the farmed feed had a portion for human consumption.

Given the pull quotes, I wonder if we are getting an accurate picture here?
