The climate crisis is here. Feeling scared yet? youtu.be/gMgSHOCuS98

The whole thing about the oil is another story, but I can't lie I enjoyed this lol Because he's right. 3rd highest FLII score in the world, makes Europe look an absolute joke in comparison

60 years ago every developed country should've been following France's lead on this. Now? Probably too late. Rapid, unprecedented degrowth probably our only hope. Having said that, the below graph still makes the UK look an utter embarrassment in comparison.

The outstanding legacy of Marcel Boiteux, who spearheaded a nuclear power programme that puts the rest of the developed world to shame. Alas, time was on France's side when it was deployed, considering how long nuclear infrastructure takes to construct and commission.

One of the most horrifying graphics ever.

Rough one today. Ignorance is bliss.

We should be wealthier than ever. We should be working less than ever. But we continue to waste most of our actual economy's output by engaging in billions of #bullshitjobs. So thousands of "economists" can talk about a "recession". On a burning planet.

@DavidUllrich202 why are you posting clickbait shite like this lol

Left or right?

@bobik314 @MrJackLowe this footage might just make it into the next video...

@MrJackLowe @ramapascala "political actors"

Modern environmentalists: Let's cover vast desert ecosystems with solar panels and oceans with wind turbines, let's mine the f&%k out everything, and let me drive my EV and power my house with solar, so I can continue to shop and eat and do whatever the f&%k I want.

Sunset over London this evening. The most simple things in life are often the most beautiful.

One of these is, unfortunately, not like the others... berkeleyearth.org/global-tempera…

Ahhhhhh, the polycrisis. 3am. My brain:

I have my back-and-forths with doomers on here but when the sheer unwillingness of people to change their consumerist lifestyles is spelled out in front of me like this, that's when I get doomery lol

It's like being on a sinking ship and refusing to put a lifejacket on because it clashes with your outfit. Alas, as the ever-wise @kassandra_bennu continually points out, no one will care until we suddenly can't buy food.

Everyone screaming bloody murder in the replies at what is a very tepid and cautious proposal compared to what we actually need to do lmao If you actually understood the severity of the threat that faces us you'd realise how unbelievably privileged and arrogant this debate is.

As is sadly the case every year when it floods in Tewkesbury, always fascinated by how the abbey and much of the old town remains clear of floodwater. They weren't dumb, our ancestors.

Do you agree? 🤔

@ClimateSN time to revive gail zawacki's brilliant essay, "in praise of themis" "...Much of the sniping and scapegoating begins with the hostile accusation that doomers, merely by existing, are encouraging inaction. This is patently absurd..." witsendnj.blogspot.com/2019/07/in-pra…

Hey he finally gets it! Welcome aboard buddy 👍

@sunsetfoglight @aashisjo @_HannahRitchie Think (not sure) I've read this one before but thanks for sharing again. Hits very close to home in parts.

@aashisjo @_HannahRitchie read gail's essay if you haven't already: witsendnj.blogspot.com/2019/07/in-pra…

1⃣ The problem with pro-#capitalism techno-optimists such as @_HannahRitchie is that they haven’t quite grasped that #climate change is just one of many effects of the underlying problem of modern industrial humanity’s ecological overshoot. As a result, the techno-“solutions”...
