There are scientists doing work, but we need live experiments and we need lots of money to do that. So when we need this handbrake we know how to use it as safely as possible.
And no, its not something I really want at all, I want that fairytail world too. But we need all the measures we can get to safe our world.
Watch this video on the and how it will impact . It is a nightmare and it is getting close.

The arrogance of western scientists to not make as safe as possible is a staggering mistake grounded in thinking of ten years ago. Science as constantly underestimated how fast goes worse. (2/4)

One of the smoking guns that tells us the Sun is not causing global warming comes from looking at the amount of solar energy that hits the top of the atmosphere.

I am in jail for breaking windows at JP Morgan, the biggest funder of fossil fuels. Here's why I did it

> I believe the civil disobedience of ordinary people can secure great change. I do what I can - and accept the consequences, says climate activist Amy Pritchard

>Every day I struggle to hold the insanity of our collective behaviour within me in my psyche, my heart and my body. The harm we are causing to ourselves, to our fellow humans and all other beings, and our incredible, beautiful home, is horrific

>I dont think these bankers are intending to kill people and crash the economy but its as if they are blinded by the acquisition of wealth, or captured by addiction, or in an altered state of consciousness, asleep, or compartmentalising to the extreme. I believe that almost all humans have caring and compassion within them, and this can be reached.

I don't agree but I hope I am wrong and Amy is right... Alas, time is not on our side. Collapse the Economy (DeGrowth) or collapse civilisation, those are the only choices left. I suspect through the wolf is through the door and in the house.

One of the things I find so amazing about how Earth's lifeforms evolved is that plants take in CO2 and release O2 as by-product. Whereas animals need O2 and CO2 is what they exhale.

There are many other cycles to a healthy biosphere, but this really basic one in respiration is frankly deserving of the original meaning of "awesome".

Messing these beautiful systems up for a few uppity primates to accrue power, status & $ is dysorderly.

I fully support spending whatever is necessary and prudent to provide Florida with the aid needed to recover from these massive rain storms just as long as the bill is called the Comrade Desantis' Big Government Socialist Welfare Handout for Lazy Red State Moochers Because Climate Change is Real and Happening Now Act

On today's ride, I saw a man in a uniform shirt (w/ name patch & everything) riding an electric scooter on campus. He then rode it to the parking lot where the company truck was waiting.

This was a contractor of some sort. I wish *all* UC Davis Facilities, Grounds, Design & Construction Management, Environmental Stewardship, etc. were operating this way!

So many big gas trucks moving around just a person, maybe a clipboard or one light tool... This stuff can be done by e-cycle.

Bonn climate talks: Key outcomes from the June 2024 UN climate conference

What is required is that we all show up, grow up and lift up.

Lets treat the land we live on well: it was not given to us by our fathers, but it was lent to us by our children.

Masai proverb

Be it crack on mark or one rabbit hole too far I will leave up to you to judge, but my belief is that all this talk of transition to renewable energies to meet so-called net zero targets is a distraction, a confusion, a con.

Our political leaders think this is about meeting conceptual targets when in reality it is about responding to existential threat.

The con: that we will transition to an alternate energy form that will support a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Sooner or later. We will put the planet back the way it was. The act of transition itself will generate wealth and prosperity for all built on new technologies and businesses.
Keep on doing what you are doing and we will take care of things.

The truth is just so unpalatable that few dare to taste it.
Not politicians, not the rich, and certainly not the poor.

Things are not going to be OK. They are going to be very NOT OK.
And we must prepare as the (probationary) custodians of this planet to do the absolute best we can with what is unfolding.

This will require individual introspection (this is an existential threat after all) and collective radical, compassionate, global, action.

In short, it will require a deep un-selfing. First, we reinhabit ourselves, then we reinhabit the planet.

Over at there is an article that I believe sums up the current situation with more than a little sobering precision.

Lets face it: this unsustainable civilization is beyond repair. It needs hospice before its put to rest, not another day on life support powered by green magic and fairy tales of an energy transition which never was.

Its time for us to grow up and let go of our childish dreams of technology and progress saving our sorry societies. We need a psychological transition into adulthood, not a material one into oblivion.

Instead of investing in futile attempts at replacing the irreplaceable, or trying to put the genie back in the bottle, we should be building out an alternative, resilient, local, low-tech, low-energy society restoring ecosystems and figuring out a new living arrangement with the natural world as we go.

If that resonates.Read the entire article here:
