*This is a toot about TOoT*
I reviewed 'Tipping Out of Trouble' (for @Nature), a new book by Marten Scheffer on what we can learn from past societal transformations to ensure a good rather than dystopian Anthropocene.

Since this industrial tipping point, human activity has injected roughly 2.5 trillion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, continuing at a current rate of approximately 40 billion tons annually. To visualize this volume of gas, this rate represents pushing the mass equivalent of 800,000 Titanics into the sky every single year, marking a staggering physical mass transfer from the earth to the air.

Our history provides a terrifyingly accurate mirror for this exact scenario: the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) 56 million years ago. During this ancient spike, a massive injection of carbon triggered rapid global warming, severe ocean acidification, and altered ocean circulation. The PETM shows us exactly what happens to the planet's equilibrium when climate systems are pushed past their tipping points.

nope, i just ain't having it, peter!
Many of the supporters of One Nation are hardworking, decent Australians who are disillusioned with the major political parties and are worried about the uncertainties facing their families’ financial future, the high cost of living and the impact of AI on their jobs. At the core of their concerns is a deep-seated worry that Australia is heading in the wrong direction and they are not being listened to or included in the nation’s journey.that's as maybe, but their choice now apparently to favour a party of hate & bigotry denotes them also as haters & bigots. pls don't try to bullshit those of us still with neurons & morality.
