"Deforestation of Brazils Amazon Has Reached a Record High. Whats Being Done" and "This puts the Amazons rich biodiversity at risk: frequent fires, hotter temperatures, and changing rain patterns damage the habitats of the forests more than three million species, thousands of which are endangered. " < D'oh! Climate Change Why everyone brags about for decades but almost never about soil degradation, air and sea pollution, disease from toxic processed food, rising inequalities, cultural dumbing down, widespread trauma and isolation, etc. As if these weren't contemporary predicaments to consider as well Good luck fighting changes in climate when our own body, mind, system and environment is misused. Is there a better way to promote public transport rather than ULEZ which focuses on the private car. I am starting to think that private car ownership is the issue much more than the age of vehicles. A ULEZ which encourages scrapping of perfectly serviceable vehicles is hardly environmentally friendly.
These are the things we shouldn't just accept but need to discuss. 2/2
Come si fa il pomodoro siccagno, e che cos, in Sicilia The simple facts of climate change which politicians seem not to get.

I have just been on a 5 day marine biology field course, taken as part of an online study. It was great to meet the other students but the mixed signalling was strong. We had lectures highlighting the massive problems to marine ecosystems from , but a huge amount of the chat from participants was where they flew to recently, where they were off to next. If a group of scientifically minded & engaged individuals aren't prepared to change their behaviour, what chance for the world Survivors pick through debris-littered streets and damaged buildings as rescue workers dispatched amid warning some areas cut off by flooding... This article from 2022 just surfaced in one of my feeds. Absolutely insane. You can buy every politician, every system with all this money, and I think this happened. It protects producers from political interference that may limit their activities.
The tech world is in a state of chaos and dysfunction, to compost this mess its crucial that we reckon with the consequences of our past decisions to understand how we arrived at this point. Over the past four decades, there has been an intertwining of social thinking and economic ideology. This marriage of has fractured societal values and pushed down ideological divides, leading to righting polarization and dysfunction in both politics and technology. In the realm of technology, this has translated into the proliferation of centralized platforms and the erosion of community. Weve witnessed the rise of platforms that push profit over peoples well-being, exacerbating societal divisions and amplifying disinformation and hate speech. As we confront existential threats like and ecological degradation, its imperative that we acknowledge our role in shaping the current reality. For forty years, weve marched down this dark path, shaping our human nature through collective choices and actions. The next four decades will be marked by hardship and suffering as we grapple with the consequences of our actions. But we must take responsibility for charting a new course forward. Its time to reject the poisoned philosophies and dogmatic economic doctrines that have brought us to this precipice. We must reclaim agency over our collective future and commit to a path of social healing, reconciliation, and renewal. This begins with the first step of acknowledging our complicity in creating this mess and embracing the power of collective action and solidarity. Lets try please not to just push mess back at this text. Its essential not to view this social thinking as an individualistic moral judgment. The effectiveness of postmodernism and neoliberalism in achieving their goals is evident, the judgment lies in our collective choice of path. The disintegration of social norms and the widening gap between the rich and the poor are natural outcomes of the path weve chosen over the last four decades. Its not just about moral judgment its about recognizing the consequences of our choices and taking steps to course correct towards a more just, equitable, and sustainable future. And away from the current common sense mess. #climatechange #ideologies #neoliberal #postmodernist The tech world is in a state of chaos and dysfunction, to compost this mess it's crucial that we reckon with the consequences of our past decisions to understand how we arrived at this point.

How long can federal budgets keep ignoring a deeper truth
By Gareth Hutchens How long can federal budgets keep ignoring a deeper truth about economics Without a healthy natural world, human societies won't flourish. The differential impact of climate interventions along the political divide in 60 countries The authors assess the differential impact of 11 climate interventions across the ideological divide. At baseline, they found that political polarization of climate change beliefs and policy support globally, with people who reported being liberal believing and supporting climate policy more than those who reported being conservative. , Climate scientists have told the Guardian they expect catastrophic levels of global heating. Heres what that would mean for the planet (IMO: Wars bring 100 thousands to millions of dead and destruction,
pandemics bring millions to dozens of millions of dead,
climate change may bring billions of dead and millions of species extinct) laertegenial
