I thought that those photos of streams of molten metal were aluminium which melts at 660 C. Wildfires can easily reach that temperature.

And surely they can see that the steel bodies of the cars haven’t melted? :thinking:

ETA: noticed that this was released in the same Friday night death slot as that court ruling on transgender service personnel? How very convenient.

To paraphrase Marc-Uwe Kling,
Capitalism is a monster that is guzzling people and shitting lumps of gold.

(Looses quite a bit in the my translation.)

At COP24 (the “conference of parties having interest in climate action”), now happening in Poland, there is a coal exhibit and coal jewelry. I haven’t seen the backstory, but this is striking. Making Coal Cuddly Again.
