    We'd like to think rights are inviolable, but they are fragile and borne of stability and surplus. When those are threatened, people get more casual with what they'll do for others.

    Also, the very notion of annual meetings has an inappropriate stability baked in. Climate is accelerating, which means the pace of its wrath is not synchronized to budget cycles or the Earth's leisurely path around the sun.

    At this point, the very notion of an annual meeting about climate is a statement of denial. It is essential to meet as often and for as long as is needed to get serious action. It may be uncomfortable for representatives to ask there host nation or company for resources or calendar time, itself the most precious resource, but if those entities are not up to feeling uncomfortable in service of something larger, then THAT is the key obstacle and the smoking gun of denialism.

    Climate change should be making us uncomfortable. It promises much worse than that, and soon. Discomfort helps to set priorities properly. Smoothing over discomfort admits the acceptability of status quo priorities.

    Ask for semi-annual meetings or the right to variable lengths of time to get real points across and obtain serious commitment.

    Survival of the species is on the line, and too many places in the world are hierarchically arranged so that that will be managed by herd thinning in vain hope that's enough to let our most affluent survive at the expense of others. In other words, kindness and human rights will be the first casualties of a society structured to preserve its sociopathic leaders at all costs.

    And, saddest of all, when the rest are gone, the sociopaths will realize they haven't the skill to do much of anything necessary even for survival, and then they will be gone, too. If I thought we were focused on preserving at least our kindest, or smartest, or hardest working people, I might have hope in this regard. But the ones with the bunkers are none of these things, nor will they be able to keep those bunkers in working order long enough for the planet to recover and humanity to thrive again.

  3. Big Oil war profits: $30m every hour

    "$30m an hour: big oil reaping huge war windfall from consumers, analysis finds
    Exclusive: Climate action blockers including Saudi Arabia, Russia and major fossil fuel firms set to make extra $234bn by end of 2026."

    "The world’s top 100 oil and gas companies banked more than $30m every hour in unearned profit in the first month of the US-Israeli war in Iran, according to exclusive analysis for the Guardian. Saudi Aramco, Gazprom and ExxonMobil are among the biggest beneficiaries of the bonanza, meaning key opponents of climate action continue to prosper."

    "Jess Ralston, the head of energy at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, said: “This oil and gas crisis is illustrating yet again the cost of our dependence on volatile fossil fuels." >>

  4. #Google to tap into gas plant for #AIDatacenter in sharp turn from climate goals

    #Texas power plant would emit 4.5m tons of carbon dioxide per year, more than that of the entire city of San Francisco

    Dara Kerr, Thu 2 Apr 2026

    "According to Crusoe’s 465-page permit application, the power plant would emit as much as 4.5m tons of carbon dioxide, a primary driver of climate change, per year. For comparison, the entire city of San Francisco emits about 4m tons of carbon dioxide annually."

  5. Why we confronted #EricGujer `s NZZ:

    As the fourth estate, the media bears the responsibility for reporting that holds the state and society to account. Democracy cannot function without independent, fact-based reporting.

    Gujer’s newspaper has long since abandoned the foundations of fact-based discussion and media balance. It has thus become a danger to our country and our democracy. Without the #nzz people in this country would be better informed. But that’s not all.

    Through its biased advocacy in favor of the #FossilFuelIndustry it is one of the main culprits behind #Switzerland ’s climate failure. It actively and deliberately supports the status quo and the #FossilFuels elites, thereby preventing any urgently needed #change to mitigate the life-threatening #ClimateCrisis .

    Through its unscientific discourse of denial, trivialization, and diversion, the NZZ is an active #ClimateCriminal .

    Don’t read NZZ if you want to be informed.

  6. What a grubby, self-serving, and deliberately divisive propagandist Barnaby Joyce is. His anti-#ClimateAction agenda ultimately serves short-term gain for a select few, at the expense of the most-of-us, future generations, and planetary #ecology.
    Barnaby Joyce reminds of me of a used car salesman. He reassures the gullable, but ultimately sells lemons. Like all deceptive #populists he would have you believe that accelerating fossil-fuel use will deliver #EnergySecurity. It won't, #ClimateDenial aside. Joyce is a dangerous fool, cast in the same mould as that other orange-tinged dangerous fool. Seems, orange, means, as in nature - beware - toxic. #AusPol
