Building Lifeboats

The job now is no longer to turn the ship around. We don't have the wheel, and those who do will not listen1. The task now is to build lifeboats. To build resilient spaces in which fragments of humanity can survive. Yes, it would be better to try to save everyone. But that literally isn't in our power. We can, each of us, only influence the locality in which we live, and the people in that locality who are willing to listen2.

Jeg kan ikke helt komme mig over denne her. Jeg vidste det i grunden godt, men der er noget meget interessant over, at det forholder sig sådan.

Du er ikke alene. Du er flertallet. Tal med alle om det. Du vil finde meget mere enighed og støtte, end du tror.

Et massivt flertal vil gerne gøre en indsats for klimaet, men tror ikke, at andre vil

Forskning viser, at 89 procent af os ønsker, at der bliver gjort mere for klimaet. Men vi antager fejlagtigt, at andre ikke bakker op, og at det hele derfor ikke nytter. Aktivér klimaets 'tavse flertal' for at sætte skub i klimahandling, opfordrer forskere.

@RickiTarr yes AND is this just the extreme end of the damage tourism does to our planet. Think flying, cruise ships, or just days out driving (as well as billionaires space fantasies!). I am always struck by how much long distance tourism has become normalised as part of western lifestyles. It's as if nobody knows there is a #ClimateEmegency Everest bans is just one possible step towards #ClimateJustice

If you missed this on Wednesday, it’s definitely worth your time. Scary AF though.

“Think of the tremendous flooding we have seen somewhere in the world almost every week in the last months.”

This is quite scary.

I watched Nvidia's Computex 2024 keynote and it made my blood run cold

Nvidia's pre-Computex keynote address was certainly something, and none of it felt good.

These posters popping up all round the Paris metro. I wish people would concentrate on solving the issues here on earth before taking aim at Mars
