Looking for a breakfast podcast?
I enjoyed the medium-advanced episode with #Rockström on Nate Hagen's #GreatSimplification that streamed 1 month ago.
"Even if we were successful in phasing out fossil fuels, we would still breach the 1,5 degrees Celsius boundary, if we do not come back into the safe space on the biosphere boundaries."
Meaning, we need a healthy carbon sink that helps us in temporarily parking our fossil CO2.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaboF3vAsZsA healthy carbon sink on land needs biodiversity and healthy soil, not mass extinction and forever chemicals. Did you know that tire rub-off from cars regularly kills 40-90% of the salmon [and other species of less direct economic value] in Canadian rivers after a rain storm? Stuff like this has to end or even our strongest fossil CO2-related action can't keep us in a safe temperature space.

je trouve la question de la création monétaire fascinante (pour son aspect social, style observation de colonies de fourmis qui s'échange des petits bidules entre eux). Et cette question m'interpelle d'autant plus que les collectivités devront bientôt (avec la #GreatSimplification qui vient) développer des monnaies locales qui auront à répondre aux mêmes mécanismes psycho-sociaux d'attribution de la valeur.

"Our entire economic system is turning billions of barrels of ancient sunlight into microlitres of dopamine."

@Npars01 "until it makes no financial sense". 👈 This!
It is almost as if the political power to shape financial incentives is the modern(ized) form of oppression. "#InvisibleFist" one could say & see a continuation of the more visible violence of old.
On a less serious level, working through the bureaucratic hurdles of installing one's own solarpanels, reveals the same type of structural discrimination/disincentives against progressive solutions.
