The shocking thing about the current #heatwave & general climatic/weather clusterfuck isn't that it's smashing records.

It's that it's smashing records by huge margins, much more rapidly than anticipated.

For me that spells #collapse. What does it tell you?

@muellertadzio Anticipation in a dynamic complex system is a stupid idea. People are bad at non-linear. "Average Swing of a Coupled Pendulum" doesn't help knowing anything about the actual swing.

@muellertadzio

Momentum. It’s not on our side. However, what is on our side is the fragility of the fossil fuel supply system and the fact that it is the most expensive energy (next to nuclear — another thermal generator that is also catistrophically dangerous ).

People succome to misinformation about climate change, but they are usualy pretty good at realizing what is less expensive.

@FullOnElectric "People succome to misinformation about climate change, but they are usualy pretty good at realizing what is less expensive."

As someone who's done climate comms for nearly twenty years, I'm very sorry to say that your statement is incorrect, and full of assumptions that are falsified by reality every day.

@FullOnElectric oh, and the fossil fuel system is about as unstable as global capitalism. not.

@muellertadzio

You are right. As a CFO in renewables an EVs I know what makes financial sense using what I consider basic analysis. The machine behind capitalism is the ability to influence everyday consumer choices. Gas or electric? Throwaway vs durable. SUV vs bicycle. Ignore insurance cost trends, non-linear effects past the next exec bonus timeline.

@muellertadzio Calling out the politicians who make infrasture decisions based on sending billions of project dollars to supporting corporations is now more important than ever. The misguided Brookfield federal #nuclear initiative is one, all other #fossilfuel funding. Electric #highspeedrail over airports and freeways. Rooftop and utility solar firmed up by hydro and battery storage. #CanPoli #energy #carney
@muellertadzio which is probably why my Facebook feed is currently full of denialist garbage
@muellertadzio And I'm watching the AMOC closely, too.
