Society isn’t changing fast enough to stop climate change: study

A new report has found that significant social change is needed to halt catastrophic climate change — and society isn’t changing fast enough. Keeping global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius — the goal set in the Paris Agreement — is implausible for social reasons, not technical ones, according to the Hamburg Climate Outlook, published Wednesday.

This whole #replika thing seems inevitable, doesn't it?

But I've long wondered whether popular science fiction predicts the future or creates the future by virtue of its success, i.e., how capitalism will cultivate literally anything – even (especially?) a dystopian future – in its parasitic pursuit of wealth.

“Twitter has privately demanded that the suspended journalists delete the tweets that drew Musk’s ire in the first place — a condition the reporters have refused to accept.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/12/23/musk-twitter-journalists-suspended-elonjet/

Journalists who won’t delete Musk tweets remain locked out of Twitter

Musk suspended reporters from Twitter and later reinstated them, with a catch: They must delete tweets related to the account @ElonJet, which has tracked Musk’s plane using public data.

Got down to -10.5° last night, up to 1.5° during the day.

But now the sun is down, there's 5" to 6" of snow on the ground, and at just 5 pm it's already down to -5°. Gonna be crazy cold tonight.

No bad weather, just bad clothing choices. -10° < T < -5°, toasty the whole way. Only one minor nuisance, every time my eyes watered my camelid-like upper and lower eyelashes would freeze together. 🐪 #cowx

Nuclear #fusion will not only come too late to help solve the #climatecrisis. Even in the long run it will not be the unlimited energy source that some are dreaming of. The reason is basic physics, and anyone can do the back-of-envelope calculation. 🧵1/

The red-brown alliance is sending out very strong “anti-war” signals today. Take note; these are the people who will 1) sell Ukraine into enslavement and death, 2) undermine and aim to crash the dollar, 3) threaten Medicare and Social Security, 4) promote Putin’s vision of a “multi-polar world.”

Willis Carto, Aleksandr Dugin, David Duke would all be very pleased with these quislings.
