@greenpeace can someone make an "I want" song out of this, like in a musical? ^^
@greenpeace wait, I was told, that there are too many bees, in some regions (partly because of human-organized honey production). They are pushing other pollinators out of local ecosystems...
As for the other points, well, small Antarctic-base sized scientific settlement on Mars would be cool, but huge 2-stage rocket without high-power 3rd stage probably won't be enough for that, which was now officially admitted, after all.
The AI bubble is problem. And as for water and climate, nobody can deny this, of course.
@greenpeace
Well…I can honestly say what you are likely to get is none.
But they’ll certainly kill the last three to grift money for the first three…
…and that was always the plan.
@greenpeace I think it won’t be more than 10 years, before Elon Musk after his data centers in space failing, suggests that it would be better to launch humans into space so we can fit more data centers on earth…
By that time he’s already become techno-pope with his own religion, and will frame all this is ”spiritual” cultish terms, like ”expanding the light of conciousness” or similar. 🤔
I want clean water

I want and end to extinctions
But this rock is doomed. We have to get off it, in a significant manner.
You don't think we're not going to evolve into something after "human"?
That's highly unscientific.
We have, at best, 5 ish billion years before the local Star expands and cooks this little rock to ash.
That will be the end of us, if we don't get gone before then.
Given how often our little planet gets whacked by spade rocks large enough to kill most life, we probably don't have anywhere near that long.
Facts.
I do not like it, Sam Alt-man
I do not want your AI spam.
I don't want unlimited growth.
I don't want unlimited wealth.
I don't want dictatorial rule.
I want respect for indigenous ways.
I want use of indigenous technologies.
I want sequestration of fossil fuels.
@greenpeace You might want to _read_ "A city on Mars" though.
(It's a really good book about how feasible a colony on Mars actually is. Spoiler: It isn't. https://www.acityonmars.com/)

Earth is not well. The promise of starting life anew somewhere far, far away—no climate change, no war, no Twitter—beckons, and settling the stars finally seems within our grasp. Or is it? Critically acclaimed, bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith set out to write the essential guide to a glorious future of space settlements, but after years of research, they aren’t so sure it’s a good idea.
Thanks for calling my attention to this statement of sane attitudes by Greenpeace. And for your response, which reminds us that the "crisis of human species survival" and a suggested "inadequacy of resources" here on Earth are deceptions which serve a tiny group of deranged billionaires.
It is telling that the same people who push this nonsense are also aggressively working to crush the worldwide trend toward reproductive wisdom and sane levels of population density.
A reliable living wage would be neat, too. Expecially if it supports (or at least doesn't erode) those other three.
To my mind being a civilised nation requires that everyone living in that nation has access to:
- clean water,
- sufficient food,
- effective sanitation,
- basic medical care,
- effective shelter from the weather.
According to this, I suspect no nation on planet earth can be regarded as civilised.
When I was a pre-teen (when Silent Spring was news) I wanted to join Earth First. Didn't know much about them, but imagined they were to Greenpeace like what the IRA were to Sinn Féin 😅
