    “4 Billion Dead: ‘There Are No Words’”

    “If you need an indication of how divorced the ‘mainstream’ media is from reality, consider this: the possibility of at least 4 billion deaths resulting from 3 degrees Celsius of global warming by 2050 made barely a dent in news headlines.”

    > fails to agree timeline for seventh assessment report

    The timeline they're failing on for all of these global climate meetings is that of the meeting itself. If it takes 2 or 3 weeks, take the time, but do not leave until there is agreenent. What is there waiting that is more important?

    Reality cannot be scheduled. It must be taken on the timeline it offers. If that doesn't align with budget cycles, tough.

    Is it too much civil disobedience to ask that these folks just sit still and run overtime as needed to get their job done? What's the worst that could happen? Well, funny you should ask, because that's the exact topic of these very meanings...

    The arguments made, and the article upthread is super helpful for laying them out (so I recommend reading it), amount to some people (i.e., national.representatives) with no apparent sense of the urgency arguing that "perfect is a friend of the good", it "just" requires more time--as if there's any to be had.

    I'm sorry, even without their all-important report, it's obvious what the problem is: a lack of sense of the incredibly high risk of delay.

    Stay until everyone sees it.

    Bar the doors if need be.

    There is no extra time, no time to plan comfortably, no time to get every detail right.

    There is only now, and the too real possibility of no tomorrow.

    #Verdrängungsgesellschaft, that’s very good. Also because Verdrängung is actually a better word than denial: that you are just pushing things to the side (a phenomenon I recognise well in myself). I don’t know if there is a true English translation for it; displacement and delay don’t quite capture it for me, either. #ClimateDenial #ClimateDelay

  9. An interesting takeaway from the English Local Elections was that candidates supporting Net Zero and stronger environmental policies did better than the pro mass motoring and climate denial/delay candidates.

    It is odd that so much of the media don't want to report this, could it possibly have anything to do with the £2bn a year that the motor industry spends on advertising?

  10. Climate work to do.
    But, to paraphrase Zevon,
    We'll do it when dead.

    #hhaiku #senryu #poem #ShortPoem #climate #ClimateDelay #ClimateDenial #WarrenZevon

    Lyrics to Warren Zevon's "I'll sleep when I'm dead" begin with:

    So much to do, there's plenty on the farm
    I'll sleep when I'm dead
    Saturday night I like to raise a little harm
    I'll sleep when I'm dead 

    That's us, unable to stave off extinction because we're too busy raising a little harm.

    scientists say Rupert Murdoch wielded his media empire to sow confusion and doubt

    theguardian.com/media/2023/sep

    The tycoon, who is stepping down from News Corp and Fox, has used his outlets to promote denial and delay action, experts say.
