Greetings! I recently moved instance so here is a new #introduction

On Social media, I go under the pseudonym of “Empiricism”.

Empiricism aims (intention or agenda) are to promote (“toot”, “boost”, etc) accurate #science based information. The general theme of this account is related to promoting #sustainable development. #Sustainable development requires mitigating ecological degradation therefore also #ClimateChange (e.g., reducing greenhouse gas emissions).

This account will not “sugar-coat” the challenges that humanity will have to overcome if climate change is to be mitigated. For example, the general trend (historic, present & future) is that humanity is not mitigating #climate change (e.g., greenhouse gas emissions are rising), therefore, climate change is mitigating humanity (e.g., increases in the frequency & intensity of flooding, droughts, etc.)

Since no one can be informed of all the scientific literature, if a reader thinks that Empiricism makes a statement that is not backed up by the general scientific literature, please refer Empiricism to the relevant peer-reviewed science publication (e.g., paper or website)

Humanity is heading towards a remarkable future - if enough people realize their potential to make that future a reality.

Every step in the correct direction is the solution.

This toot is not moral grandstanding - this toot is about putting words into action.

What can make development towards an ecologically "friendly" lifestyle optimistic, easy, enjoyable, and healthy?

Teamwork!

What can make development towards an equitable society rewarding? An equitable society will reward justice & altruism (cooperative altruism). A corrupt society will reward injustice & greed (corruption)

Imagine a "walk in the park" where we know we are heading towards a future that will be better than the past. We know this because we understand how to develop that future society. We understand what we want and how to get there. We have the "map" of how to develop an ecologically sustainable and equitable society (the two are mutually inclusive).

To reiterate - Humanity *is* heading toward a remarkable future - *if* enough people realize their potential to make that future a reality.

Naysayers (the merchants of doubt) repress our potential.

Potential - capable of being but not yet (fully) developed.

In general, to reverse the trend of ecologically degrading human activities, we humans are going to have to cooperate (teamwork) with a laser focus on developing an ecologically sustainable and equitable society.

If enough people realize their potential to make the future a remarkable reality - our focus will converge. Laser-focused on developing an ecologically sustainable and equitable society.

There are many competing interests & ideologies that have historically gotten in our way. The agency (spectrum) of good to bad, informed to misinformed, altruism to greed. The spectrum of democracy to autocracy.

However, by definition, history is over. The present exists. Tomorrow is where we are heading.

Make our societies sustainable in whatever way you can. Those changes may seem like a small contribution. For instance, the planting of some wildflowers in the garden, and installing a bird or bat box. Replacing plastic bottled liquid soaps with plastic-free solid soaps. Switching a meat & dairy diet for a plant-based, fungi & non-dairy milk diet. Boosting the toots that explain and recommend ecologically sustainable practices. Voting for politicians that live by setting a good example (rather than those that say "blah blah blah" but then do the opposite)

However, the more people make those small contributions - the more they accumulate into big ecologically sustainable changes.
