Lenin was a counter-revolutionary.

"Lenin and Trotsky did not support workers management of industry. Their preference for top-down, centralized state planning and control in industry by managerialist bureaucracies worked itself out as the revolution progressed." #anarchism #degrowth

Welcome Back Doug

This meme has been rattling around in my head for at least a year and I only just now finally bothered to write it down

(click to expand, it has the full 5 panels)

An #introduction...

I used to be a full time #academic climate scientist.

I "quit the priesthood" in Nov 2022 and now work as a climate scientist in industry, focussing on #ClimateChange & nat hazard risk.

Mostly interested in #climateScience and #atmosphericScience, and their intersection with #dataScience, #socialScience, and #environmentalJustice.

Happy to also chat about #leavingAcademia, particularly a mid-career perspective.

And here's a blog on that:

How and why I quit academia - Paul Young - Medium

There are lots and lots of stories of #leavingAcademia, including a growing number of those who — like me — are in the middle of their career and with the once-deeply-wanted permanent faculty…

Excellent podcast to listen to as we are heading into 2023 - the ever brilliant @jks on how we can each think through our “systemic radar” - our own positions, skills, talents, networks - and use them effectively. Concrete, actionable, wise advice on how to not only demand but bring about the systemic change we need now

Living Well within our Limits: Actions for systemic change with Prof Julia Steinberger

Listen to this episode from Accidental Gods on Spotify. Professor Julia Steinberger researches and teaches in the interdisciplinary areas of Ecological Economics and Industrial Ecology.  She is the recipient of a Leverhulme Research Leadership Award for her research project 'Living Well Within Limits' investigating how universal human well-being might be achieved within planetary boundaries. She is Lead Author for the IPCC's 6th Assessment Report with Working Group 3.She has held postdoctoral positions at the Universities of Lausanne and Zurich, and obtained her PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She has published over 40 internationally peer-reviewed articles since 2009 in journals including Nature Climate Change, Nature Sustainability, WIRES-Climate Change, Environmental Science & Technology, PLOS ONE and Environmental Research Letters.As part of our drive towards finding the people at the leading edge of change, we wanted to connect with Prof Steinberger really to unpick the detail of personal and collective action. Each of us is only one person and the nature of the change can feel overwhelming even while it feels urgent.  So we need to hear directly from the people whose entire lives are given to solving this problem and who have concrete ideas of what we can do and how, who can direct our priorities and show us where the best leverage points lie.  Prof. Steinberger has clear ideas of how our culture can live within planetary boundaries and we unpick them in this podcast.  Enjoy!

Billionaires should not set climate policy.
Billionaires should not set water policy.
Billionaires should not be setting any policy.
Billionaires should not be platformed to give opinion on crises & injustices they helped create & have financial stakes in monopolizing policies on.
Billionaires should not exist.
this chemist/engineer/MGA with lots of subs does talk about all embedded emissions in the production of EVs yet stop short before #degrowth. Probably hasn't heard about it yet. He talks about the "break even" point yet forgets about the total decreasing carbon budget, and planetary boundaries, inequality in emissions, systems change etc. Ayayay, these "scientists"... https://youtu.be/P1PcDSffaWo

This Crypto Bro from Toronto thinks that government spending with IT contractors that sub-sub-sub-contract to make profits on commissions, affects economic growth. Awww *sigh*. He puts the blame 100% on the government when in reality blame is shared with contractors (read: greedy leeches) that want to extract as much profit as possible because... capitalism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uULL1fMXvs

How much lithium is needed to electrify the car-dependent status quo vs transforming the transportation system to increase mass transit, walking & cycling? Our new @[email protected] report finds dramatic differences. We can achieve more mobility with less mining 1/ https://www.climateandcommunity.org/more-mobility-less-mining

More Mobility Less Mining
