CW: Geopolitics
IMHO the world seems to be currently facing 5 key problems
1 A slavish of support of #Israel
2. Excessive and concentrated power wielded by the US constitution and presidential system
3. Weakness of global leaders in the face of #China and #Russia expansionism
4. Global corporations wielding unprecedented control over governments through funding and favours
5. A rabbit-in-the-headlights attitude of most world leaders towards #climatechange and #fossilfuels

The Trump administration is rescinding climate controls on coal and gas-fired power plants, one of its most aggressive moves so far to unwind U.S. environmental regulations. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/09/15/energy/trump-epa-regulations-power-plants/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #emissions #environment #epa #climatechange #us #donaldtrump #republicans #coal #gas #fossilfuels

Pro #Elektroauto und #Wärmepumpe:
Die Eskalation im Nahen Osten treibt #Ölpreis und #Spritpreise weiter nach oben.
Super E10 kostet aktuell in Deutschland im Schnitt rund 2,25 Euro, Diesel 2,38 Euro pro Liter. Brent-Rohöl liegt bei etwa 107 Dollar je Fass. Angriffe auf wichtige Öl-Infrastruktur verschärfen die Unsicherheit weiter.

@nf3xn Exxon-Mobil used that metric when they produced their C02 study, in 1977.
The Law of Inverse Proportion is more powerful, as you go 'up' the power scale. This has been increasingly true since we discovered fire, and started connecting the subsets of the parental set, Big Bang~Big Crunch. Every major, powerful invention has similar metrics.
So why aren't more people directly holding #TechBros and #FossilFuels #Oligarchy accountable?
Ignorance - innocent or wanton (innocent~wanton range) - is the continually ignored factor in the equation. Teaching 'all else is zero, when you have Heaven', ignores great power, called #education, less and less accountable, toward scalar Big Crunch - #MassExtinction events - and breeds more ignorance.
This is why making Behavioral Science core education is critical root infrastructure now. At this point, in our #TippingPoints, it's a prerequisite to survival, let alone thriving.

The Nepal And Tibet Flood – Another Warning, Another Failure To Respond (Media Lens)
Back in the real world, after this latest calamity, the term ‘climate change’ seems almost quaint. In reality, we are facing climate breakdown that is bringing not just human disaster but human erasure.

"Ce développement majeur risque d’aggraver les conséquences déjà catastrophiques du conflit déclenché par Donald Trump le 28 février.
Hier, le prix du baril de Brent se situait à 104 dollars (contre environ 90 dollars fin août et 60 dollars en début d’année). "Qu’est-ce que la prise de contrôle des côtes du détroit de Bab el-Mandeb révèle de la position américaine au Moyen-Orient ?

As climate change starts to hit hard in the US and around the world, Trump puts his foot on the accelerator and his tech billionaire buddies are building fossil fuel power plants like mad.

No future? Instability and wreckage
"At a time when the future feels increasingly uncertain, rightwing populist politics offers something simple and seductive: certainty, belonging and the promise of a return to an imagined past."
"AfD and One Nation may not look or even sound the same, but they are singing from the same song sheet."
"Climate disruption is intensifying amid economic insecurity, war and displacement...Legitimate fears about the future can too easily be used to turn people against each other." >>
