Well, DUH!
It’s easy to have a low carbon footprint when the climate is warm enough that you don’t have to heat your house most of the year, and where cars are not available or very limited.
Putting “Cuba” and “Developed Nation” in the same sentence? That’s either incredibly daring or incredibly delusional. :P
<< The Sustainable Development Index (SDI), designed by anthropologist and author Dr Jason Hickel >>
From this article in the Washington Examiner: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/the-far-left-has-an-idiotic-new-craze-reduce-economic-growth
Enter Dr. Jason Hickel of the London School of Economics, a man on a crusade to end “the tyranny of GDP.”
In an interview for BBC’s Newsnight show on Thursday, Hickel called for “degrowth.” Ignoring energy innovation in fracking, nuclear power, renewables, and battery-based power systems, Hickel claimed that Earth is running out of resources. Rich nations are apparently to blame because we “use three times our fair share of bio-capacity.”
A good place for the celebrities to move to. Please include Whoopi, Rob Reiner, and Robert DeNiro.
The source is a Socialism advocacy rag, not an actual news organization. That it would publish such tripe is not surprising. I expect to read all kinds of pseudointellectual pablum in such publications.
I notice that Socialists are beginning to move away from the promises that we will achieve paradice if we would only embrace socialism. Instead, they have taken to threatening and fear-mongering about consequences if we fail to adopt Socialism.
Cuba is not a “developed country.”
Wow!!!!
Is it all those 53 Chevy’s?
and they have a real problem with illegal immigration..................
Climate Hysterics will learn one thing eventually.
No one is going to live a crappier life so they can be happy.
but it’s Stuck in the 1950’s
Who is still churning out those alternators and radiators for the 53 chevys?
Here’s the truth about Cuba. Under Castro, they kept those cane fields in place, though there was no good market for cane sugar, because they loved the publicity from liberal idiots who came down to help the starving citizens harvest it. “The Venceremos Brigade,” founded by SDS students. Problem was, Cuban people were STARVING and couldn’t eat sugar cane.
Plus Castro didn’t allow them to even grow a potato in their yards, because EVERYTHING belonged to the state.
They had no fertilizer or seeds, which of course they would have to buy from evil capitalists.
AS A RESULT, Cuba does have some of the best land in the world for organic farming. They could have fed everyone in South America and made profits, kept their people healthy. .
“sustainably developed” = backwards, 19th century. undeveloped. So, yes, Cuba wins.
If a country, not just a small community or tribe, lived in a cave, they would have claimed the crown of most “sustainably developed”
I would retitle the award as Most Ass-Backward Country on Earth.
I have to wonder how our Amish rate for sustainable lifestyle.
I’d have to think they’re a role model.
Cuba is an amazing antique-car museum.
It must be all those 52 Chevys they’re still driving around.
I guess this offsets the 50s cars 8 mpg spewing leaded gas in the air. Oh yeah only three actually run.
It looks to me like the left has tipped their hand a bit.
They will only be satisfied when we are all poor & living carbon-free.
Except for the commissars - of course...
