"Earth won’t be saved by communism, capitalism, deism, socialism, liberalism, or any ‘ism’.
There is no longer any point to #Political ideology. All it can do is distract us with frivolous argument from the main task of trying to save ourselves."

We’re all going to face #climatechange.
“Humanity will be faced with either cooperating in the face of those crises or competing. And what we see from Neanderthals and H sapiens is that the groups that cooperated better were the ones that got through.”

Carbon capture and storage has been promised for 20 years. It has never materialised and never will. Its sole purpose is to create the impression that oil and gas drilling is compatible with a habitable planet. Any politician promoting it is working for the fossil fuel industry.
U.S. officials say that global supply of lithium alone needs to increase by 42 times by 2050 to meet the rising demand for electric vehicles. While innovations in batteries could reduce that need, for now, the world is facing dramatic long-term shortages.

To those who think nuclear power is pollution-free, I turn to Cdn performer Bob Bossin: Not having a place to put out the garbage (radioactive wastes) is like putting up an outhouse without digging a hole.

So @stwater and @unitedutilities are set to pay their shareholders £550m while at the same time demanding we the customers pay the industry another £10bn in funding. Something is very badly broken with this system.

▶️… The Spanish National Meteorological Agency confirms that a historic heat wave will hit Spain, whose agriculture already has both knees on the ground. 35-40°C are expected in April.
+16°C to standards.
It is unprecedented in Spain.
It is unprecedented in Europe.
Internationally, according to the Global CCS Institute, there were 30 CCS projects in operation last year, with a combined maximum capacity of 42m tonnes of CO2 a year – about 0.1% of global emissions.

NO 42m is 0.001 (one thousandth) of 36b

Grandmother gave offerings of thanks to the springs and the mountains. They had a lot of belief in the land a lot of care for Mother Earth. The latest generation doesn’t practise this any more. It would be good to get that respect back

The true return on investment for fossil fuels is around 6:1, far lower than estimates of 30:1 and putting #FossilFuels cost-efficiency ratio roughly on par with #renewables.
That ROI is set to decline further in the coming years as the cost of tapping scarcer supplies increases.
“There is a pervasive misconception that switching to clean, green energy will be painful, costly and mean sacrifices for us all—but that’s just wrong. Completely replacing fossil fuels with clean energy by 2050 will save us trillions.”

"We need to move away from our deep-seated consumption culture and rethink, how to build a world that relies on low-carbon sources of energy, and that focuses on wellbeing, health and equality,"

The 21st century has been cursed by climate denialism ... by its lies ... conspiracy theories ... gaslighting ... rants ... raves ... quote mining ... and other never-ending propaganda.

"Our country is in the hands of these big gas companies that we fight to protect our land, sacred sites, culture & water,
No one has seen the jobs & economic benefits which have long been promised by the fracking companies, and we do not believe they will ever come"

Mr @AdamBandt was critical of Labor's approach to coal and gas.
"Negotiating with #Labor is like negotiating with the political wing of the coal and gas corporations,"
"Labor seems more afraid of the coal and gas corporations than the #climate collapse."

"Pie-in-the-sky fantasies of carbon capture and geoengineering are a way for decision-makers to delay taking real action."

“Worldwide social anarchy will be the entropic result of the climate and ecosystem anarchy humans have created. The web of exploitation will dissolve to an extent, and everyone will be equal, and poor. Until the next civilisation comes” #ClimateCrisis
