@petealexharris Economics is more fundamental than politics because at its root (even though economists don't acknowledge this) it's rooted in physics. The current neo-liberal economy *will* automatically destroy the living planet, by overloading the atmosphere with free carbon.

A political system -- such as #Trump's America -- *might* destroy the living planet through nuclear war, but it is by no means constrained to do so.

@moz @linuxgnome We need to be designing for life cycles of the order of one thousand years, for things we won't have the energy to easily replace.

I fear that the proliferation of expert panels on #ClimateChange is a bit like Randall Munroe's famous cartoon about the proliferation of standards. We don't need more panels, we need to pay more attention to the ones we already have

Our world is burning. Action is urgent. Ours is probably the last generation of humans who will ever normally expect to live to old age. Our government know this, but they don't care. And they don't want us to know about it, so they're suppressing the information.

Oops I have previously published nonsense, as I had thought that the MAGA event celebrating the repeal of the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding was actually part of the IPCC.

But no! What a relief.
That ugly event took place at the White House, whereas the real IPCC 2026, in which the US will not participate at all this year, took place in Bangkok.

I studied astrophysics so I love the fact we are back in space.

just one little problem; we keep this up we are going to have to stay there as there will not be a habitable earth for us to return to. Someone might want to let NASA know the dire need of the planet they actually live on might need a little help not so much the rest of the universe at this time.

The moon will be there. Life as we know it HERE may not.

#ThereIsNoPlanetB #SpaceTravel is INSANELY, IRREVOCABLY dangerous, even in short duration flights, let alone long ones. This is a set of multiple problems such that, unless they are solved, we are not going ANYWHERE. Not really. And they are lying when they tell you otherwise.

@ArrestJK and sixty years worth of carbon added to the global atmosphere in just three weeks, making the impending #ClimateEmergency both closer and much worse.
