6 Takeaways from an Actuarial Warning on Planetary Insolvency

‘Break glass’ moment for climate change

Collapse 2050

@dbattistella @pvonhellermannn From the article:
“The message is clear from the beginning. It’s all connected: environmental collapse, homelessness, the police state, and US militarism. And by the end of the film, you’ll understand that the root cause of our collective suffering is capitalism’s ever-growing, extractive, exploitative nature and the violent arm of imperialism, led by the United States, that necessarily carries out its dirty work.”

#ClimateCatastrophe #ClimateCollapse

Fascinating - as in terrifying - world of powering #AI / #LLM data centers

I was hoping that one good outcome of the bubble would be rise of #greenenergy but the pace at which new data centers are built means they're largely powered by giant #gas generators. In the US there is estimated roughly 1 TW of load requests submitted to power the new data centers!! 230 GW in Texas alone!

#climatecollapse: James Hansen's prediction for 2027:

"We project a global temperature record of +1.7°C in 2027, which will provide further confirmation of the recent global warming acceleration."

#EnvironmentalDestruction is not separate from #social harm. #ClimateCollapse intensifies conflict, displacement, & hunger. Those least responsible suffer first. This reveals the ethical failure of concentrated wealth. (1/2)
Honestly with #ClimateCollapse sometimes the thing that keeps me going is the small things like washing clothes in the washing machine (and knowing how to do that without one) and spending time with others

In Don't Look Up (2021) humanity struggles to cooperate to deflect an asteroid because they are more concerned with the profit to be made mining it using unproven technology that risks the destruction of the planet. A culture war is fabricated to blame the messenger and myopically focus on the economy as a doomsday clock accurate to the minute and hour elapses

trump just EO'd the US 'out' of the IPCC. Does that have real world impact? #ClimateCollapse
In 536 AD, volcanic eruptions caused global cooling, 18 months of darkness, crop failure, famine, and mass death. It triggered the coldest decade in 2,000 years and mass collapse.
