The statement "there are no #MadMax scenarios in the #IPCC" is used time and again in the #ClimateDenial/#ClimateDelay bubble.
So a clarification: this is an assumption or an artifact of the modeling process. This is *not* a research finding of the scenario community.
A 🧵...
American recommendation letters: “This candidate is the most brilliant person alive. I will never in my entire life have a student as smart as this one again.”
European recommendation letters: “This person completed the requirements for my class. They are currently alive.”
That's some sweeping statements there.
Let's look at some weight numbers:
1200 kg - Honda Fit
1475 kg - Honda Fit EV
1360 kg - VW Golf
1570 kg - VW e-Golf
Up to 2430 kg - Jeep Grand Cherokee
2170 kg - Ram Tradesman
Up to 2600 kg - Ford 150
Up to 2720 kg - Chevy Suburban
The weight problem is not with #EVs: it's with "cars" that are barely distinguishable from Sherman tanks, for size, weight, and risk to pedestrians.

If #FossilFuels go away:
- 40% of global shipping goes away that now carries oil, coal, n gas.
- 40% of the US corn crop that now goes into car ethanol can be replanted for food. Or rewilded.
- Plants grow better without air pollution
- We'd need only 30% of the primary energy replaced by renewables. Because fossil fuels are that inefficient.
It's still a tough pull, but easier than it looks at first sight
I'm wondering if instance subscriptions/cross-talk would be a neat feature to have in #Mastodon
I picture it like this: servers like @mstdn@social are great for general banter and have a broad reach, but are too chaotic for specialized discussion.
Specialized servers allow chatting w/ experts, but seem too limiting otherwise.
It'd be neat if you could subscribe to niche servers and post there on occasion (visible in the local timeline).
Best of both worlds.
