If only we could spend a TRILLION dollars every year to fight global heating and promote climate justice. But where would we get that kind of money??

Oh...

Governments Spent Record $1 Trillion Last Year Subsidizing Fossil Fuels

Even as global governments raise their ambitions to cut fossil fuels in the future, they spent a record $1 trillion last year subsidizing energy sources that are the main driver of climate change.

@HannaEsmeralda_ KyllĂ€, tĂ€tĂ€ olen ihmetellyt opiskeluajoista asti. Kansantaloustieteen johtavassa maassa on aina kĂ€sitetty pelin henki. Maailman isoimman talouden velkaantuminen on tietysti vĂ€hĂ€n eri asia kuin Suomessa, mutta kyllĂ€ nuo Kok, Per ja KD ja VM totiset talousvĂ€ittĂ€mĂ€t, taas ”ainoa totuus”, nĂ€yttĂ€ytyvĂ€t taas erittĂ€in kyseenalaisina.

#Yhdysvallat on syöksymÀssÀ maksukyvyttömÀksi; siellon rahat loppu. Koska #valtionvelka.

Se vaan, ettÀ #USA:lla on 2/3 enemmÀn velkaa kuin Suomella.

#Pölhöoikeisto uhoaa tÀmÀn tÀstÀ, miten #Suomi on #KreikanTie llÀ, muttei koskaan puhu mitÀÀn Yhdysvaltojen valtionvelasta.

Ei tiettykÀÀn, koska haluaa saman shitshow'n meille - sen ettei maksettaisi juur yhtÀÀn #verot.

Kiista valtion velkaantumisesta uhkaa ajaa Yhdysvallat maksukyvyttömyyteen – vaikutukset tuntuisivat ympĂ€ri maailman

Yhdysvaltojen valtiovarainministeriön ennusteissa Yhdysvallat saattaisi ajautua maksukyvyttömyyteen niinkin aikaisin kuin kesÀkuussa, ellei kongressi hyvÀksy velkakaton nostamista.

Taalaksen prujuista hallitusneuvottelujen seminaarissa: ”Biodiversiteetti on uusi kysymys. – – Yleisesti ottaen tarvitaan lisÀÀ dokumentaatiota ongelmasta.”

Kysymys ei ole uusi; Rion biodiversiteettisopimuksesta on 31 vuotta. Ongelma ja uhkatekijÀt on tunnistettu ja arvioitu sekÀ lajien ettÀ luontotyyppien kannalta: uhanalaisuusarviointia tehdÀÀn Suomessa ja muualla yhteisin pelisÀÀnnöin.

Hurjaa myös, ettÀ tiede- ja koulutuspolitiikkaa kÀsittelevÀssÀ pöydÀssÀ on evoluution kiistÀvÀ Laura Huhtasaari.
@HannaEsmeralda_ Ei yllÀtÀ. Purra kyseenalaisti IPCCn asiantuntemuksen. TÀstÀ tulee aivan karmeaa kuraa.

10 watts seems like a trivial amount of power when it shows up in a bill at the end of the month, but it begins to matter when all the power you need is coming from batteries within your home, charged with sunlight.

This is not a complaint, just an observation.

I'm glad I'm fully dependent on the sun - it's a crucial step in aligning myself with the resources available to me instead of throwing money and shifting the problem elsewhere.

Greta Thunberg (@gretathunberg) on the evils of #colonialism...

"The climate and ecological crisis is a cumulative crisis that ultimately dates back to the colonial era and beyond. It is a crisis based on the idea that some people are worth more than others and that they therefore have the right to steal other people’s land, resources, future living conditions — even their lives. And this is still going on."

That's from page 19 in The Climate Book -- https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/709837/the-climate-book-by-greta-thunberg/

People worry a lot about losing knowledge — about "burned-down libraries".

Comparatively few people seem to worry about what happens if you take a billion books full of auto-generated, often-untrue junk text and *add* them all to the library.

In theory, nothing is lost. In reality, everything is lost, because nothing useful can now be found.
