This is alarming.

Our experience in Australia with bickering between the states over the starved & failing Murray river shows that even when the catastrophes are local we do not deal with them well.

As with all aspects of the global polycrisis, ‘It’s mine! You can’t have it!’ Is not the answer. Sadly this appears to be the only response our politicians know. Or that our media approve.

There will be huge movements of populations as local ecosystems collapse. It seems to me that the belligerent climate deniers of the far right have always known this. The cruel & aggressive actions they’ve taken to police borders have been a preemptive response to the catastrophes they’ve always known are coming.

We have been successfully distracted by the sideshows these clowns run & the fatuous team sport reporting delivered by our media.

How do we shift this?

Wake up North Americans, we're the frogs in the pot waiting around 'til we're literally boiled to death. Meanwhile China is actually building the ladder to get themselves out of the pot.

"China breaks more records with surge in solar and wind power"

"China’s installations of wind and solar in May are enough to generate as much electricity as Poland, as the world’s second-biggest economy breaks further records with its rapid buildup of renewable energy infrastructure.

China installed 93 GW of solar capacity last month – almost 100 solar panels every second, according to an analysis by Lauri Myllyvirta, a senior fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute. Wind power installations reached 26 GW, the equivalent of about 5,300 turbines."
