Thanks!

Their post can easily be translated, but I had to search for
the English version of the article (see below)
---
With the topic of #DataCenter energy consumption, there is a recurring theme that drains our patience: anecdotal techno-solutionism.

That is, absurd and impractical solutions that divert the real debate of the consumption of data centers:

Whose are they, are they necessary, how many are there, what cost do we want to assume, who is responsible for their consumption?

Of course, whoever comes to us with those arguments we smack them over the head with a fat book by Morozov. 😜

We have already seen bullshit like:

- Put them at the North Pole.
- Put them under the sea
- Put them in space.

And now: we're putting them in your house to heat your water!

What if we defined

rather than good

"There's a relentless pressure to act happy now. You have to go to the office. You have to go to bars and restaurants. You have to go to concerts. You have to go on vacation. You have to post about it.

You have to talk to strangers.

But...

You can't talk about all the friends and family you've lost. You can't talk about how tired you are. You can't talk about politics. You can't talk about climate change. You can't talk about the wildfires or that town that burned down. You can't talk about living through the hottest days in human history. You can't talk about masks or air purifiers. You can't talk about student loans. You can't talk about the wars we're fighting or getting ready to fight.

You can't talk about anything that matters."

==================

💯 I can very much relate to this. During all the research and writing of my book, I often felt the need to talk about all the shit that's happening and the amazing info I found, but no, it's kinda taboo.
Just be happy and party while we can...🙁

Climate change isn’t a problem that can be solved by summoning the “will.” It isn’t a problem that can be “fixed” or “conquered,” though these words are often used. It isn’t going to have a happy ending, or a win-win ending, or, on a human timescale, any ending at all. Whatever we might want to believe about our future, there are limits, and we are up against them.

=======================

Only from deep acceptance can we arrive at meaningful changes an adjustments.

And only then.

@rahmstorf
The speaker maybe is right, but since hardly anyone is prepared to accept reality, take responsibility and act accordingly, chances are big that indeed we're F&%$&%cked!

Still it will be good to do good things, and not be paralyzed with fear or despair.

That's what my book is about: acceptance, a change of mindset and building resilience for times to come. #CrashCourse

@fran
Just read your profile.
I guess you'll 'enjoy' my book: I'm writing (amongst others) about ecocentrism as the way we should be/are part of nature.
For my followers my book will be available soon for free for a couple of days.
Watch this space and welcome at #CrashCourse !

This article gives an overview of 2023's record breaking surface & ocean temperatures.

Some of the factors mentioned that are playing a role are:

1. La Niña → El Niño
2. Shipping fuel sulfur
3. Hunga Tonga water vapor
4. African dust
5. Jet stream
6. Ocean currents

UK children to move to Seoul hotels as heatwave hits World Scout Jamboree

Thousands of Scouts to be removed from site after hundreds of heat-related illnesses at event in South Korea

Let's think for a moment of the future of those kids...
Well, lets fly them to South Korea, emit some CO2 and give them a taste of worse things to come. 🤢 😡 😠

"Avoid Gulf stream disruption at all costs", scientists warn.

The alert follows the revelation this week that the system is at its weakest ever recorded.

How close the world is to a catastrophic collapse of giant ocean currents is unknown, making halting global warming more critical than ever, scientists say

Climate crisis: Scientists spot warning signs of Gulf Stream collapse, one of the planet’s main potential tipping points.

The research found “an almost complete loss of stability over the last century” of the currents that researchers call the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC).

A few days ago:

Gulf Stream could collapse as early as 2025, study suggests

A collapse would bring catastrophic climate impacts but scientists disagree over the new analysis.
