CO2caine fossil fuels addiction T-shirt

A T-shirt from our Scientist and Philosopher range. The second in our CO2caine series.

This T-shirt based on the CO2caine T-shirt displays the source of our problems, the burning of fossil fuels, effectively since the start of the industrial revolution. The human race is addicted to burning fossil fuels to the detriment to life on Earth. The level now seen in the atmosphere has not been at such a level since before the start of this current series of ice ages around 2.58 million years ago. The implications are that parts of the planet will become uninhabitable and there will be mass extinctions of different forms of life which may include Homo sapiens. (S&P)

Hey everyone there greetings to you all.
We are so exited to share our haversting with each and every one who is on this #mastodon and #fediverse that green Earth Mission Uganda is not just stopping from #environmental but we also grow crops to fight hidden hungers in schools and communities, so today we are sharing our harvest with our friends and family so that we can sustain together. So dear friend supports our mission so that we can acquire our own land. #gardening #nature #HarvestSeason

Die Erde von oben: Das @DLR macht mit Hilfe der TUM und des LRZ sein Archiv mit #Landsat -Daten zugänglich – ein #Archiv für #umweltdaten Diese liefern unter anderem Bilder der Oberflächentemperaturen, etwa von #munchen wie unten. Bislang stellt die @nasa Landsat-Daten zur Verfügung. Das macht die Wissenschaft abhängig von politischen Entscheidungen.
Zudem werden Infrastrukturen zur Speicherung dieser Daten aufgebaut: https://www.ls.tum.de/ls/presse/aktuelles/nachricht-detail/article/tum-und-dlr-sichern-landsat-archiv/

If everyone who has a small piece of suitable space planted something edible. How much food could we produce from spaces we currently ignore?
Maybe the answer begins in your compound.

Love our planet T-shirt

An organic cotton T-shirt from our Scientist and Philosopher range.

We have made incredible changes to our planet during this interglacial period from when we first started to become agriculturists. Some of them appear to be detrimental to our very own existence as a species. Yet perhaps as many as billions of people are unaware of the damage that they do in their everyday lives to the life support systems that sustain us all. (S&P)

Check out how these products are made using organic cotton. We need to live in not just a sustainable way but one that causes the least environmental loading on the planet. You can even send these items back to be made into new things when you have finished with them.

The T-shirt is available from our Teemill store, https://scientistandphilosopher.com/product/love-our-planet-v1w-adult-t-shirt/. It’s also available as a T-shirt for children, a bag and a design for women.

A thread with some more reasons why I think the benefits of using #LLM s - and risks of not using them - outweigh their disadvantages and harms. From my #environmental #policy researcher/public servant viewpoint.

RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:l5qgtdxd462q6cz5hbt25edk/post/3mtlm3fdjvd2j

Wrote a short thread about my observations about the current status of #LLM /" #AI " use by Finnish #environmental #policy experts, researchers, government officials and organisations.

Subjective and limited to what I've seen or heard. TL;DR: there is a lot of interest and increasing use.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/18/trump-administration-growth-forests. Yet more utterly STUPID, crass & myopic #climate & #environmental #vandalism from Donald #Trump, @GeraldKutney, @davidho, @greenpeace.

>>>
So in summary: using #AI for #coding led to #depression, #apathy, #existential #dread, and worse software. Not good. Add on top of that the negative #environmental, #community, and #economic impacts of AI, and it became extremely apparent to me that something's gotta change.

A brilliant write-up by @brettcodes

The German Environmental Aid (DUH) and the energy cooperative Green Planet Energy have filed a formal complaint in Brussels against one of the federal governmen... https://news.osna.fm/?p=59916 | #news #bias #challenges #environmental #eu

Iowa State Senator Art Staid "used to enjoy long walks, runs and #bicycle rides, but at times now uses a #wheelchair.”

NOTE: Despite headline, Missouri and Illinois aren’t alone in being U.S. states allowing paraquat use.

https://www.stlpr.org/health-science-environment/2026-08-12/missouri-illinois-paraquat-weed-killer-iowa-man-parkinsons-banned

Also note: "More than 70 countries, including every nation in the #EuropeanUnion, ban #paraquat. That includes #China, which #exports millions of pounds of it to the U.S.
…
"Grant Niver, who testified in support of the bill as a senior state government relations manager with the Michael J. Fox Foundation, said up to 78% of #Parkinson’s diagnoses could be attributed to #environmental factors.”

"On August 10, the California Department of #Pesticide Regulation announced that all manufacturers of pesticide products containing paraquat-dichloride had voluntarily canceled their product registrations in California, beginning a phase-out of #paraquat use in the state.
…
“These developments are more than policy milestones. They represent a combination of people living with Parkinson’s, care partners, researchers, clinicians, and #advocates who have called for stronger action on #environmental risk factors associated with the disease.”

In #Guatemala, #Indigenous women build #ClimateResilience with old and new farming methods

#AncestralKnowledge combined with #climatesmart techniques is boosting #FoodSecurity and increasing family incomes in the #LakeAtitlán region

Adam Wentworth, July 2, 2026

Excerpt: "The impacts of #ClimateChange on Indigenous communities can often lead to further #environmental damage as farmers are forced to rely on unsustainable practices, such as cutting down trees to clear more land. This can accelerate water scarcity, soil erosion and ultimately food insecurity.

"An ongoing adaptation project led by Natün has sought to reverse these impacts, working with local people to combine modern climate-smart agriculture and ancestral knowledge. The approach involves the use of #DroughtResistant crops, organic pest management and #SoilConservation techniques. This is increasingly recognised as an effective way to strengthen climate resilience.

" 'Our approach is based on soil analysis and the use of locally resilient, endemic tree species, significantly increasing survival rates and ensuring sustainable water availability despite changing rainfall patterns,' Wason explained."
