A continuing voice of reason in our time. We must move toward the good of the many outweighing the good of the few if we're going to survive as a species.

This, from Antonio Guterres via The Guardian:

...critics argue that endless, indiscriminate growth on a planet with finite resources is driving not only the climate and nature crisis but increasing inequality.

Guterres said: “Moving beyond gross domestic product is about measuring the things that really matter to people and their communities. GDP tells us the cost of everything, and the value of nothing. Our world is not a gigantic corporation. Financial decisions should be based on more than a snapshot of profit and loss.”

#climatecollapse How bad is it? Very bad. And no one on the horizon to help. Big money is all in on #AI, but not in #humansurvival

@qurlyjoe I think about this quite a lot. I'm still hopeful...but hope can be exhausting. #SystemsThinking #HumanSurvival
This is apocalyptic stuff and we're in the midst of this. We have to get serious about fighting the #ClimateCrisis to survive https://www.democracynow.org/2023/7/17/extreme_weather_jeff_goodell #extremeheat #heatwaves #humansurvival #BurningEarth
“The Heat Will Kill You First”: Rolling Stone’s Jeff Goodell on Life and Death on a Scorched Planet

The world is in the grips of a dangerous heat wave that has sent temperatures skyrocketing to deadly levels throughout Asia, Europe and the Americas. Unless urgent action is taken to reduce carbon emissions, the United Nations says, Earth could pass a temperature threshold in the next decade when climate disasters are too extreme to adapt to. We speak with longtime climate journalist Jeff Goodell, author of the new book, The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet, about how the climate crisis is raising temperatures, the toll such heat can have on the human body, and how “heat is the primary driver for this climate transformation we are undergoing right now,” fueling natural disasters such as floods, wildfires and more.

Hollywood often leads the way on social issues by showing us the way things COULD be.
Maybe the spate of tv series (True Bood, Walking Dead, Last of Us, Revolution & Westworld) is “teaching” us scenarios for post-apocalyptic human survival. So far, there hasn’t been a series where #climatechange caused the breakdown of societ (the one movie that stood out for me was Water World.)

@ErrataRob Moderation is needed for #HumanSurvival. If we allow certain #Memetic viruses to propagate it could have #consequences proportional to an pan/epidemic 🤔
