Trying to find a space to live in a civilization clearly in overshoot. Climate Nuremburg trials at bare minimum. All FF subsidies to be redirected towards RE
@danmiller999 What do you make of the idea to use crushed basalt rock jn the oceans to rapidly sequester co2? I've heard that it has potential to sequester carbon, even if we used the dirtiest means to get it.
As predicted on @macrodosepod last week: French nuclear power plants closed down by jellyfish.
This keeps happening, jellyfish love warmer water, overfishing kills their predators=population explosions and gummed up reactor intake pipes.
1/2. @LBC Wilfully getting itself confused....
“It will make WW2 look like a teddy bear's picnic.” Caller Michael explains why he is full support of @ZackPolanski's comments comparing climate change to WW2."
Err... a comparison is where two things are comparable - the whole point of saying that allowing the elites to destroy the biosphere "will make WW2 look like a teddy bear's picnic” is that there is NO FUCKING COMPARISON.
WW2 went on for 6 years and killed 50 million people - the elites' death project is set to kill 4000 million people (according to the UK insurance industry prediction ⬇️) and go on for 10,000 years.
Get a fucking grip!

1/2. The most important sentence of our time
"People don’t realise that we can’t make it get better again."
It never goes back into balance - that option is not longer available.

You either have a revolution to stop it getting worse, or it gets worse and worse and worse. Sometimes you have limited options in life. There is no reverse option. We are not Gods. The elites fucked up and you thought it would all go away if you just tried to forget about it and keep watching Netflix.
Bad idea.

I think this is definitely in you're wheelhouse, a lot of talk about how economic costs are estimated in relevant IPCC literature due to climate collapse. It would be great to hear a conversation between you and this creator.

I’m so scared by this interview - not just because of what Prof Anderson says - but because it’s a reminder these leading experts don’t get airtime in the mainstream.
The discussion about climate change in our broken media is members of the public talking crap on phone ins, dim commentators discussing it over a cuppa on magazine style shows, or people debating how expensive Net Zero is on Newsnight.
We never get to hear the most important information from the most important experts. It’s disastrous how uniformed the public are.
Scientists say we’re heading for 2-3C by mid century.
Risk assessors & insurers say this means 2-4 BILLION deaths.
Governments & the media say pretty much nothing.
1/2. BBC: Climate as an act of God.
Every time I look at an article about "climate" by the BBC it seems like they think all the shit "just happens" - it just comes out of nothing - from "emissions" - because of the "climate". Never do they point to the criminals behind the crime. That these are actual people who are making the decisions to destroy our civilisation - because ... well, the BBC cannot make a clear A causes B statement.

@VeitchAeternis@chupkrrr I'd rather shit in my hands and clap. Alternatively there are a million bots reposting ur shit so I never have to give you a penny. Why did you arrange to meet an underage girl without her parent present that one time, dickhead?
This document should keep you awake at night.
The govt’s National Risk Register now ranks losing our drinking water alongside a PANDEMIC as one of the two biggest threats facing the country
This year, in the right-hand document: The chances of “Catastrophic impact” on our drinking water supplies - up to a one in four chance.
Last year, same document (on the left) rated it a minor risk. Bottom of the chart.
So what changed? Nothing changed!
Water is still in private hands and depute the Water Special Measures Act deteriorating rapidly.
This is where 36 years of privatised water has brought us.
Tens of billions handed to shareholders. Over £60 billion of debt racked up on water assets that should belong to al of us.
Leaking pipes. No new major reservoirs. Sewage in our rivers, on our beaches, in our sea.
They didn’t invest. They extracted. And now the state’s own risk experts are telling us the tap water could go.
And the regulators? They watched. Fines for pollution became a business expense. Thames Water’s creditors are now asking for their pollution fines to be written off. You couldn’t make this stuff up!!!!
So let’s cut the crap about ‘tougher control’ of water companies. We’ve tried that for 36 years. It ended with drinking water on the national risk register next to a pandemic. You can’t regulate a cash machine into caring about you.
There’s one answer. Bring water back into mutualised public ownership. Run for people, not profit. Answerable to bill payers, not bondholders. Every single pound going back into the pipes and reservoirs we should have built decades ago.
Water is life. And yet we’ve watched it turned it into a payday.
Time to take it back.
