#crossBorderTrain : #Grenoble #Paris #Brussels #Amsterdam #Alkmaar #EgmondAanZee

It would have been a long day, even for someone using #unsustainable #travel means, plus I only need to be at destination 3pm tomorrow. Too early for same day travel, silly to arrive day before.

So I took #train (of course) and broke it in Brussels, where I'm enjoying good food tonight!

#tgv and #eurostar on time, good WiFi, quiet (with lively though OK little children)

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2026/aug/16/it-is-not-only-a-future-certainty-the-disaster-is-already-here-why-we-need-climate-fiction. The problem is, we are faced not just with #climatecrisis, but with #Polycrisis, including, e.g., #resource #depletion, various forms of #pollution, #biodiversity #loss & #overpopulation, as well as the threat of #armed #conflicts. The grotesque #inequality of the #capitalist #system makes it completely #unsustainable, as does its #ecological #parasitism. Failing any successful efforts to change it, it will #collapse. How do you represent THAT in #fiction?

Aside from being #very #unsustainable, #nuclear #energy is very #expensive as well.

#Baddebt from #unsustainable #consumerism
"Danucha P, secretary-general of #NESDC, said tt in 4Q 2024, #household #debt totalled THB16.4tril, showing a 0.2% growth cf to te same period last year.. largely due to tighter lending stds.. Danucha said 1 issue tt needed to be addressed was Thais' tendency to #consume #luxuriously, which can easily lead to excessive debt.. survey by Mahidol found tt 1 in 3 #Thais prefer to #spend their money on #luxurygoods & #premium services"

"The increasing severity of #wildfires and #drought highlights that reforming #ForestStewardship – taking better care of the forests, including safeguarding #OldGrowthForests – is one of our best hopes to protect communities across B.C.

Harmful #forestry practices like #clearcutting and #unsustainable #IndustrialLogging make extreme heat and wildfires worse. #Clearcuts are #tinderboxes, more prone to creating embers because dead trees and branches dry out in the hot sun and become more #flammable. Tree plantations and improperly tended young forests also increase wildfire risk: Younger trees have thinner bark and low-hanging branches that can act as ladder fuels, and the trees are often planted too close together, making it easy for fire to spread.

Fortunately, intact and properly managed #forests are more resilient to the worsening wildfires and heatwaves. For example, #OldGrowth #rainforests have dense canopies which provide cooling shade that resists fire. They are cooler and wetter than young forests, acting as giant sponges. Old-growth trees in the drier interior have thick bark, high branches and are widely spaced which all reduce #WildfireRisk.
