  17. I hate this timeline.

    As a long time #climate campaigner... I almost feel like I should be hoping that the Iran/US war continues as long as possible so the price of oil and gasoline can go as high as possible and force economies to electrify and shift at emergency-speed to renewables.

    We could have started on this the easy way 30 years ago... but a few of the same people objected and obstructed.

    “Financial markets treat the economy as an engine driven by monetary policy. Reality dictates otherwise. At its base, the economy is an energy processing mechanism. Central banks cannot print oil or other commodities.”

    "This is a road test for systemic collapse. The physical limits of the remaining energy supply impose a hard ceiling on global output. The world is in a situation where scarcity means using less or some simply go without. "

    @flng

    The democrats are incapable of stopping fascism and it is a fools errand to make sure the dems win every election, even if they won this one they would have lost the next one or the one after that. There is no such thing as a political party winning every election.

    Or maybe the democrats actually completely change and gain the power necessary to defeat fascism, then they would have also gained the exact same tools to suppress anarchism. All the while the dems would be bombing the middle east holocausting non-humans and accelerating climate change towards the extinction of all known sentient life in the universe.

    ‘Shameful’ UN silencing Indigenous voices, say banned Cop27 activists

    by Nina Lakhani Climate justice reporter
    Fri 18 Nov 2022 09.08 EST

    "Four US activists who had their #Cop27 accreditation revoked after briefly interrupting the US president, Joe Biden, in Sharm el-Sheikh have described the UN as 'shameful' and say it has silenced Indigenous voices.

    "#BigWind, Jacob Johns, #JamieWefald, and #AngelaZhong missed the second week of the climate conference after being suspended for standing up with a 'People vs #FossilFuels' banner during Biden’s speech last Friday. The #Indigenous activists, Wind and Johns, gave a war cry to announce themselves and draw attention to the fossil fuels crisis before security officials confiscated the banner. The group then sat down and Biden continued.

    "The activists appealed against the suspension to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), but the case has not yet been resolved.

    "'We’ve been locked out, our voices silenced,' said Johns, 39, a Washington state-based community organiser from the Akimel O’otham and Hopi tribe. 'The #ClimateCollapse is coming, we are literally fighting for our lives. If we’re not allowed to advocate for our future, who will? It’s shameful.'"

    The top 20 highest greenhouse forcing entities collectively accounted for 17.5 GtCO2e in emissions in 2023. The list is dominated by state-owned entities, which make up 16 of the top 20, and includes a significant presence of Chinese entities, eight of which accounted for 17.3% of global fossil fuel and cement #CO2 emissions in 2023.

    Livestock digestion emits too much methane:
    * Too many bovines in India, Pakistan, Brazil, United States, China;
    * Too many sheep and pigs in China.

  32. Over Consumption is the Biggest Elephant

    I was listening to a program on the CBC this afternoon talking about de-carbonizing the shipping industry. The person being interviewed was part of an alliance of professionals in British Columbia taking on the challenges and problems of getting cargo ships and the whole industry to net zero. It’s apparently estimated that the conversion to a net zero system will cost between 1.0 - 1.4 trillion US dollars.

    The story sounds similar in most other industries. As we try and get our carbon emissions down, the cost to transition to renewable sources of energy feels almost insurmountable. But the experts tell us that this is what must be done to stop runaway climate change, as if it’s not already here.

    It is remarkable that these incredibly important environmental conversations are so single focused, as if shifting to net zero is somehow going to solve all our problems. I mean, it’s start, but even I can see the long terms problems that are already starting to present themselves in greenifying a capitalist industrial economy.

    And I’m no environmental expert.

    We live on a planet with finite resources but every attempt to save our consumption-based economic systems seems to drive another nail into the coffin. Not only are we not considering the potential long term problems of de-carbonizing our industrial complexes to allow them to continue operating business as usual, but the solutions that are being developed aren’t even looking beyond energy consumption. What about resource depletion? What about garbage? What about plastic? What about wealth inequality? What about workers’ rights and cost of living and endless pollution? The shipping industry touches all of these issues but there was no mention of them. I have to imagine that some expert at some table somewhere is considering all of these issues when working on this “de-carboning the cargo ships” idea but I’m not hearing anything about it.

    The elephant in the room, of course, is that we can’t keep consuming at our current rate for a myriad of reasons: we’ll run out of resources, the economy demands cheap goods and labour to continue output which causes dangerous and unfair working environments, the devastation to natural ecosystems is often irreparable, we’re experiencing a mass extinction because of habitat loss. I could go on.

    It feels like part of the reason no one wants to talk about our culture of over consumption because, of course, it’s not equal across the board. Those with the ability to consume, aka. people with money, consume in vast quantities compared to people without money. So when we point fingers at each other, the blame cannot be places equally and that makes it hard. But hard or not, it doesn’t mean we should avoid the conversation.

    I also feel that these large industry-wide planning initiatives are the best time to talk about strategies to shift to an economic system that doesn’t rely on consumption. All the big brains in one place talking about huge systemic change: it seems like the perfect time to address this enormous culture-shifting problem. Even coming out of summits like COP which are strategically focused on climate change, all the focus is on greenhouse gas emissions when there’s a huge opportunity to talk with industry and government leaders about this vast intersectional issue that covers a huge landscape of social, political, and economic challenges.

    But it’s like crickets. More empty policies with little tangible action and all of it targeted specifically at reducing carbon emissions, even if that reduction never happens.

    Why are we so scared to talk about shifting away from a consumptive-based economic system? Is it really all capitalist lobbyists buying out the decision makers? Like I said, I’m just a random person with no background in economics, politics, or ecology, and the problem seems really clear to me: as long as we continue to operate under a economic system that requires ongoing consumption while we live on a planet with finite resources, we are just going to create new problems in trying to solve the old ones. In other words, de-carbonizing is going to come at the expense of somethings else, likely resource depletion.

    When we fail to have these conversations at the forty thousand foot view we place the responsibility squarely on the individual. People like you and I can clearly see that lowering our own personal consumption is an important step on the path forward, but then the issue becomes “individualized” rather than the systemic. We get this weird egoism that plays into the dilemma: “I’m doing my part by only buying fair trade! What are you doing to save the world??” (while of course continuing to support dozens of other unethical industries because there’s no other options). And, as mentioned, all consumerism is not created equal. Asking people struggling to make ends meet to spend all their money on ethically produced clothing is ridiculous when billionaires buy yachts.

    I don’t want to appear reductionist: I know these problems are huge and complex and it’s likely that resource depletion and over consumption are being talked about behind more than one door. I know that there is no simple solution, but I’d really appreciate hearing more in the news and media about what it might look like to transition to an economy that isn’t just post-carbon, but post-over-consumption. I believe this conversation is integral, requires collective visioning, and must be part of the conversations around mitigating the effects of climate change as well as our current economic collapse.

    This chart shows the spectrum of GHG emissions – from the lowest to highest #food producers. The height at each point in the curve represents the amount of global production with that specific footprint.

    * Ten percent of #beef producers emit more than 105 kgCO2eq per 100 grams.
    * Ten percent emit less than 9 kgCO2eq per 100 grams.

  35. my complaints to the #OpenUniversity sent on the 23/06/25 for which, besides 2 emails saying they'll reply within 10 days, i am still waiting to get a meaningful reply:

    i am a student criminology and psychology at the #ou. i am hereby complaining about the fact that the ou spends student's tuition fees on contracts and so called partnerships with companies that are actively involved in the mass murder of fellow human beings for profit.
    the university has a legal duty to uphold domestic and international law, including by cutting ties with companies linked to ongoing #warcrimes.
    #BAE weapons have been linked to mass civilian deaths in both #Gaza and #Yemen, confirmed by #UN investigations and independent human rights organisations.

    BAE arms authoritarian regimes including #SaudiArabia, #Egypt, #UAE, and #Bahrain—all of which are known for state violence, #repression, and #torture.

    In 2024, BAE posted record #profits of over £2.5 billion, profiting from #weapons sold to governments actively involved in #MilitaryAssaults on civilian populations.

    BAE has faced multiple major #corruption scandals, including a £286 million #UK settlement and a $400 million fine in the #US over #bribery in arms deals.

    #University partnerships whitewash BAE’s image, giving it legitimacy and access to students—despite its central role in the global war machine.

    The Open University’s #collaboration with BAE helps normalise the arms trade, making #students #complicit unless we speak out.
    War is not only deadly—it is #ecocidal. BAE profits from destruction that fuels #ClimateCollapse, yet the #OU claims to value #sustainability.
    why is the ou engaging in this #criminal behaviour for years now, whilst teaching me about so called #crime?
    the university has a moral imperative to defend freedom and justice across the world, including the human rights of its academic colleagues in the #Palestinian territories.
    #Israel has destroyed all universities in Gaza, and over 300 #schools and #libraries. Education is a target in Gaza, and the OU’s academic peers are at risk.
    i demand the open university to immediately #divest our tuition fees from b.a.e. , #microsoft, #alphabet, #cisco and others involved in supporting and enabling #genocide and war across the world.
    i am currently on a year off from studying because of #MentalHealth conditions, which only have worsened because of this.
    i am seriously considering ending my studies because my #MoralIntegrity is more important than anything in my life, and i am not willing to get a huge debt that i know is being used to kill people. that makes me complicit with war crimes and genocide.
    besides , i can't take the study material seriously when the ou is #enabling, #normalising and #funding criminal conduct by the companies it contracts to deliver services and infrastructure, and then refuses to take #accountability.
    shame on you!

  37. A bit I didn't include at the end of my #LotR / #climate analogy is that Frodo (or your average person living through #ClimateCollapse) doesn't succumb to the Morgul blade (#doomerism) but he's never the same even after bringing the Ring to Mordor.

    Dude has major PTSD, has Seen Things, and can't enjoy life the way he used to. He even tells Sam that he's saved the Shire, but not for him.

    Things will never be the same, even after the day has been saved. But things will *be*. And that matters.
