"At first, the capital stock is too small to release much of the resource. Then the process becomes autocatalytic: active collapse generates more active collapse.

Eventually, resource depletion dominates. There are plenty of moving sticks, but almost no bound structure remains for them to release.

Production falls. That is the Hubbert mechanism in its purest form."

$900 million from a canceled #wind deal will benefit a #Trump donor

Government #settlement money is going to a Trump neighbor’s private equity fund.

The Trump admin’s latest deal to cancel offshore wind projects & boost #FossilFuel #energy development instead is generating a huge payday for one of Trump’s million-dollar donors.

Government must prioritise heat pump installation to tackle climate chaos | Letter
By Guardian Staff

Colin Hines says Andy Burnham’s focus should be on drastically cutting fossil fuel use in a way that reduces bills and generates secure jobs

💥 Les assurances suisses sont leaders dans l'assurance du charbon, du pétrole et du gaz.

🔥 Demandez maintenant à Zurich et à Swiss Re d'assumer leurs responsabilités et de ne plus assurer le développement de la production de charbon, de pétrole et de gaz.

@JugglingWithEggs Worse: #TechBros and #FossilFuels #Oligarchy are being more and more successful at destabilizing vital root infrastructure science, by removing the far more qualified leaders in those critical fields, further clearing the path toward more profits, and resting assured by their luxury bunker backup systems.

Priority one is removing these abusers from power.

@Catvalente The #TechBros and #FossilFuels #Oligarchy systematic ploy of using failing educational systems - especially in the emotional range category - are just as effective of branching out risk through shareholders, in #Capitalism #greed.

Sure, emergency measures of making Behavioral Science core education, along with removing the abusers from power, would make a measurable difference. But what's the probability of that happening, in the face of cascading root infrastructure collapsing around the globe?

On the occasion of Trump labeling Palestine Action a "terrorist group", here's an extract from my book Science in Resistance, in which I interview a member of Pal Action. Mike is a former theoretical physicist who was sentenced to over two years in prison for dismantling equipment in a weapons factory in Runcorn, UK.

I met him soon after he was released on a home curfew detention scheme.

"Notably, satellite and aerial observations suggest that the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory significantly undercounts methane emissions. A 2024 Stanford-led study estimated that U.S. oil and gas facilities produce, on average, emissions three times higher than EPA predictions."

Of course the industry wants numbers to be fudged. It cuts down on future liability for when a sane govt is back.

@CLEW

Between Russia's attack of Ukraine and Trump's attack on Iran, the world is finally getting off #FossilFuels

...starting with those countries least invested in fossil fuels, China, Africa, South America.

A busy month. Installed #solar, #inductivecooktop and a #heatpump. Tomorrow the gas company removes the meter.

#FossilFuelFree ! Been using EV and electric barbeque for years, so we are there.

The best way to stop oil and gas is to electrify. It starts at home. Lifecycle costs favour it, by far.

(and do try an electric BBQ. Like EVs, you’ll never go back)

@destravi
Not saying that it would be impossible to trigger such a disaster with weapons, but AFAIK this one was caused by melting ice. And the same happened before. And it was predicted that such a flood is going to happen in one place or another. Role of climate change here is that it makes disasters more likely to happen, it makes them stronger.

The amount of heat added to Earth due to greenhouse gases is immense and the most noticeable effects, such as what happened this time, are part of it.

The rate at which Greenhouse Gases accumulate in the atmosphere is extremely high, that is on top of the current GHG concentration which is already crazy. That all means the planet is warming very fast and it’ll keep warming a lot because Climate Change takes time. It’s not like if we stop emissions tomorrow, climate will go back to normal immediately.

Even if we beat the best predictions in the fight against climate change, it will take time for conditions to stop worsening. This is the situation we’re in unfortunately, and what I am talking about is extremely optimistic.

So we should educate ourselves and start actually fighting climate change instead of pretending to do so. And that would mean fighting capitalism, not surprisingly.

Australia’s lizards and snakes - The threats are worse and converging

"Australia is home to about 10% of the world’s lizard and snake species, and roughly 98% of them occur nowhere else. If they disappear here, they disappear from the planet."

"Cats and foxes are estimated to kill 697 million Australian reptiles each year."

"Australia needs properly funded recovery programs for all threatened lizards and snakes, not only a handful of well-known species." >>

Recent US and Israel attacks on #Iran have caused a global oil and gas price shock, which #energy analysts believe may accelerate the transition to #renewables.

By exposing the volatility and insecurity of #FossilFuels, the crisis has made solar, wind, and electric vehicles more attractive for national and economic stability. This shift was a central theme at a historic conference in Colombia, where a new coalition of governments and civil society began coordinating a phase-out of fossil fuels to move toward a more secure "electrostate" model.

@lilithsaintcrow It's far more efficient to remove the #TechBros and #FossilFuels #Oligarchy from power, than to takeover every abuse of power they perpetrate.

Frankly, we don't have the time to do the latter, and the efficacy of the former is looking tragic.

@jeffjarvis Rumor has it that he banked over a hundred million in #FossilFuels profits, on his departure. So perhaps he's maneuvering for more palm scratching.

U.S. President Donald Trump's fossil fuel agenda will result in the loss of $700 billion in clean energy investments over the next decade while doubling the power sector's climate footprint, according to an analysis. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/08/26/climate-change/trump-double-carbon-emissions-2035/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #us #donaldtrump #republicans #energy #carbon #emissions #fossilfuels #environment
