@charmingLiisa @Soldusty @TheRaDR an interesting point from Cory Doctorrow @pluralistic yesterday on BBC radio4 - if we eliminated Musk tomorrow, he would be replaced by someone very similar. The problem is that we have a social system that contains Musk or Zuckerberg or Gates or Warren Buffett shaped holes in it. It's a while since I heard the slogan #systemchange not #ClimateChange

Heatwaves will not revert back towards preindustrial conditions for at least a millennium after net zero is reached.

“The thing is, if we delay net zero – up to 30 years and even longer – those impacts are only going to get worse. We’re already locked into some, but the longer we leave net zero, the worse it’s going to be.”

This is fundamentally about justice. Small island states face total uninhabitability. 5 billion depend on monsoons we're destabilizing. Those who contributed least to the crisis face the worst impacts.

Any solution that doesn't center equity, human rights & community governance isn't a real solution.

We need BOTH: emergency brake on catastrophic tipping points + accelerator on positive ones.
Listen to full episode—it'll change how you see this moment.

This… is their story. Their voices... seen through their eyes. A window into the past is also a look into all our futures. Their struggle... is our struggle, as the world faces ‘Global #ClimateChange, #CorporateGreed and #GovernmentInaction."

Saying goodbye to comet A6 Lemmon. It's getting very low, and clouds are increasing in southern New Mexico.

It was a remarkable run of many clear nights.

This is a single exposure on a fixed tripod.

There's a blurred silhouette of a power line, and satellite trails in this image. They belong in the frame because this is the world we have created. It's getting increasingly difficult to escape to pristine nature.

Perhaps the phrase 'pristine nature' is now an oxymoron?

When is the first No Kings General Strike?

We all need to help with community building and boosting civic engagement. These activities have atrophied for decades, and it shows.

The world is still on track for a catastrophic 2.6C increase in temperature as countries have not made sufficiently strong climate pledges, while emissions from fossil fuels have hit a record high, two major reports have found.

Despite their promises, governments’ new emission-cutting plans submitted for the Cop30 climate talks taking place in Brazil have done little to avert dangerous global heating for the fourth consecutive year.

China’s CO2 emissions have now been flat or falling for 18 months.
The rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) saw CO2 emissions from transport fuel drop by 5% year-on-year, while there were also declines from cement and steel production.
While emissions from the power sector were flat year-on-year, a big rise in the chemical industry’s CO2 output offset reductions elsewhere.

Carney government scrapping #greenwashing rules via 2025 federal budget. It's "being framed as necessary to reduce “investment uncertainty".

🚨👉🏻 i.e. Scrapping the "rules that gave Canadians a private right of action against deceptive marketing and required companies to substantiate their environmental claims"

⚖️ "The law is [has been] working as intended, curbing unsubstantiated claims and restoring credibility to the marketplace"
