The U.S. Olympic team is one of a handful that will supply air conditioners for their athletes at the Paris Games in a move that undercuts organizers’ plans to cut carbon emissions.
U.S. Olympic and Paralympic CEO Sarah Hirshland said Friday that while the U.S. team appreciates efforts aimed at sustainability, the federation would be supplying AC units for what is typically the largest contingent of athletes at the Summer Games.
“As you can imagine, this is a period of time in which consistency and predictability is critical for Team USA’s performance,” Hirshland said. “In our conversations with athletes, this was a very high priority and something that the athletes felt was a critical component in their performance capability.”
The Washington Post reported earlier this month that Germany, Australia, Italy, Canada and Britain were among the other countries with plans to bring air conditioners to France.
That’s true, because what you said holds no truth at all. I pointed out the flaws in your point and your “argument” was that since no one is vegan, veganism isn’t better for the environment. Which is so monumentally stupid I’m convinced you’re trolling.
“The vast majority of people are not communist, therefore communism wouldn’t be better for workers.”
“The world isn’t powered by renewables, therefore renewables aren’t better than coal.”
“Things aren’t currently better, so no change would make it better.”
You’re arguing from a position of complete nonsense, and it’s not an “appeal to ridicule” to call out bad logic and sealioning tactics. Link literally any source that backs your conservative, status-quo reinforcing position, or go read something other then century old rich men philosophizing about societies they daydreamed up.
i don’t need a source. you have claimed that being vegan is better. it’s up to you to show that is the case.
none of these accurately characterize my position
Because you don’t have a position, hence why you just whine about being victimized like the bad-faith conservative you are instead of re-iterating or clarifying anything. Go ahead and claim I’ve committed another formal fallacy on an informal discussion site instead of using your words like an adult, you commies are all so predictable smh. Materialism really does lend itself to anti-intellectuals who think they’re so smart, doesn’t it?
i do, and i’ve said it plainly, repeatedly: being vegan doesn’t help. each year the animal agriculture industry grows, despite the existence of vegans.
am i a commie or a conservative? this is incoherent.
this just ad hominem. it doesn’t change the truth of what i’ve said at all.
i’m pretty sure all the fallacies i’ve called out are informal.
baby, i’m an anarchist. it’s bad faith to tell people what their politics are instead of believing them.
your accusation of sealioning is bad faith
what i said is true or it is not.
that’s not what i said.
