@forteller @herhandsmyhands I think we absolutely need to rely on masses of people breaking the law - not only in this regard but also when it comes to all aspects of the #polycrisis like the #6thgreatmassextiction or the #climatecatastophe . We need to take matter into our own hands, do what needs to be done, and we don't need to ask for permission.

@gcobbum @LindaCollins11 I applaud him for thinkahead. It will happen and we should be prepared. #climatecatastophe #Environmnent #collapseofsociety

Big ol shoutout to Imagine Water Works though, https://www.imaginewaterworks.org/, a powerhouse of mutual aid disaster response that I've looked up to for years and am now on the board of. Work like this and @bvlbanchacollective et al keep me sane.

From the website: "Our core focus areas are climate justice, land stewardship, and disaster readiness and response. With the issues we’re facing today, we know that our communities need immediate support and the ability to work toward a better future, at the same time. We support these efforts by providing resources that keep people more safe before, during, and after both natural and manmade disasters. We create opportunities to connect with others and merge art with science in a deeply authentic and personal way. And we create freedom spaces where everyone has the opportunity to explore, imagine, and share their solutions for our future."

The choice between a poorer today and a hotter tomorrow from TheEconomist https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2023/06/27/the-choice-between-a-poorer-today-and-a-hotter-tomorrow

Rapid decarbonisation will hit the stranded assets of the richest 10%. Tough. Suck it up.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/22/fossil-fuel-assets-loss-study

“We find that the bulk of financial losses associated with rotten, polluting assets is borne by the wealthy,” said the co-author Lucas Chancel, a professor of economics at Sciences Po in Paris. “Only a small share of financial losses is borne by the working and middle class because they have no or relatively little financial wealth.”

I see two competing action plans:

* Let's make travel faster, cheaper moneywise, and more convenient.

* Let's make travel slower, cheaper for the environment, and less taken for granted.

We've tried the first for several hundred years now and it has proven to be a big-time driver of #climateCatastophe .

I think we absolutely have to switch to the second.

Fossil fuel corporations trumpeting their conversion to renewable energy producers is simply #greenwash and #tokenism. When #shareholdervalue is at stake, then they prioritise short-term profit over minimising #climatecatastophe, continuing to drill, burn and mine.

These corporations must either a) be shut down or brought into public ownership in order to force their conversion into genuine renewable energy producers.

Sometimes I feel like many people actually want to send their children and grandchildren into a hellish future. Maybe it is malicious joy. Maybe it is revenge for not being able to live forever.

Unbedingt lesenswert, wenn man starke Nerven hat! Danke für den Link.

»Besonders dramatisch nehmen die Methanemissionen aus Erdöl- und Erdgaslagerstätten zu...«

Statt endlich zurück zu zucken wie ein neugieriges Kind, das das heiße Bügeleisen berührt, geht der Mist immer noch weiter. Es kann einem angst und bange werden.

@Jeremy_Hance
Well said, and I’m in complete agreement with every point.

It did occur to me yesterday, however, that with Putin halting Russia’s compliance with the START Treaty, possible China/Russia alliance over Ukraine, North Korea throwing missiles around like lawn darts, Iran reaching 80%+ enrichment of nuclear fuel, authoritarians taking center stage globally, and a new virus mutation every other day, the #climatecatastophe may be slipping down the list of apocalyptic events. 😱

Mitten im Winter und in der Sonne isses noch wärmer 🤯🥺 Das is alles nur noch verrückt, aber ja, auch logisch.. #ClimateCatastophe

Ich stehe vor der Haustür.
Die Sonne scheint, es ist warm.
Kommt ein älterer Mann mit seinem Hund vorbei.

Er: "Na? Jetzt geht's wieder herausen."

Ich: "Joah, aber normal is des nich."

Er: "Klar, aber an Ostern hammer Schnee" 😳

Ich weiß nicht. Aber es wird verdammt lange dauern, bis es Alle gecheckt haben. Dieses Ding mit der #ClimateCatastophe .. 🙄

Wahrscheinlich zu lange. Irgendwann isses zu spät. Aber wir haben das uns ja auch redlich verdient. #nofuture
