Hard to fault them though, hard to imagine they are expecting high enough sales volume to drive the price down
Agreed, kind of a bold assertion to throw out without proof against a highly rated international charity
Looks like there were some issues with transparency 5-10 years ago (Google "Pro Publica Red Cross"), but I'm not finding any recent follow-ups and they're scoring high marks for transparency now. They pretty consistently spend ~90% of every dollar donated on programs and are generally well-respected.
Are they a perfect charity? Probably not. But are they doing good? Absolutely.
If you want to donate money elsewhere, by all means go for it. Doctors Without Borders, and World Central Kitchen are great international charities, and local food banks in impacted communities can make your dollar go further than just about anyone else.
But also remember money isn't the only donation the Red Cross accepts - as with any major disaster, blood will be in short supply, and there is unequivocally no better network for blood donations than the Red Cross.
Yeah but it's a lot harder to paint climate activists as the bad guys when you say things like "they souped our glass and powdered our rocks", so better to just lie, right?
Y'all still preordering video games? I thought we had talked about this.

I find it hard to imagine wanting to have kids just so your dictator has more meat to feed into his meat grinder. Perhaps the only good news is Putin hopefully doesn't have 18 more years in him, so the kids won't have to deal with him directly, but who knows who will sit in the throne next...

You know how many times I tried to click play, you monster?
Musk didn't buy Twitter to control the conversation, he bought it because his ego was too massive to just shut the fuck up for a minute and admit it was a stupid idea.
He tried to pull out after he came to the same realization literally everyone had been shouting at him for months but was legally in too deep.

Also, what portion of the decayed tree becomes soil. Sure some CO2 is released back out, but the net increase in soil over the tree's life is where the savings are.
Anaerobic vs aerobic decay is largely about the difference in short-term impacts. Anaerobic decay releases methane which is much more potent than CO2 in the short term, but naturally breaks down into CO2 over a hundred or so years, which is a long time for the generations of humans dealing with climate change, but a blip on the timescales of forests.
