Describing the COP climate meeting as having become more like a “festival for the oil-producing countries”, Talia said Tuvalu is also exploring a range of alternative initiatives...
...Representatives of oil-producing countries are now attending the COP climate meetings in “big numbers”, Talia said, in order to try and “really bury our voice as small developing countries”.

Hey climate conscious people everywhere - PLEASE stop implying or saying that the earth would be better off without humans!!!! Malthusianism, the debunked "overpopulation" myth etc are cruel anti-human ideologies that easily lead to racism, eugenics, and any form of welcoming mass death. That's horrifying.
Yes, humans have caused climate disasters and extinctions and biodiversity loss and soil erosion and the hole in the ozone layer and all sorts of bad stuff. But it was only ever a minority of humans who drove those things. Humanity overall has an awe-inspiring ability to not only adapt ourselves to our surroundings, but also to adapt them, change them. The ecological footprint, so to speak.
That's what we need right now. We need to increase our ecological footprint! The earth is an abused child, what this child needs is not neglect and abandonment (humanity dying out or civilisation crashing or humans stopping to interfere in any way) but SUPPORT to heal and grow. Sure, as an abused child myself I know what it feels like to dream of neglect as "salvation" from active abuse. But in reality, that's just a more subtle form of abuse. It's still also abuse.
With great power comes great responsibility. As humanity we undeniably have great power on earth. It is therefore our responsibility to USE that power for good! To not neglect it or ignore it or be in denial about it. We need to do good things with it. We need to heal ourselves, our communities, societies and ecosystems.
We have unique abilities to understand, communicate with, oversee and plan for ecosystems, locally and globally, that no other lifeform has. We need to be stewards and caretakers of the land, of the watersheds and of the entire planet. We could make this world so beautiful and bountiful for everyone!

AI uses shittons of energy, bringing back coal and fueling fracking.
Fossil fuels increase earth's surface temperatures.
AI uses shittons of water to cool their data centers, causing droughts and ecocide.
Increased heat means data centers need even more water.
AI is Mars-forming Terra.

The amount of bad news that I could be sharing with you, if I chose to, is much greater than what you actually see here on my page. Every day I have to filter through all the items I find, looking for those that seem to me the most relevant and most important for readers to know, not simply those that are the most alarming or most sensationalist.
I’m not trying to scare people — well, maybe I am trying to scare people — but the point is not simply for you to be frightened, but to take action in the face of a looming disaster.

A few days ago, Greta Thunberg said this…
______________________________
As the COP29 climate meeting reaches its end, it should not come as a surprise that yet another COP is failing. The current draft is a complete disaster. But even if our expectations are close to non-existent, we must never find ourselves reacting to these continuous betrayals with anything but rage.
The people in power are again about to agree to a death sentence to the countless people whose lives have been or will be ruined by the climate crisis. The current text is full of false solutions and empty promises. The money from the Global North countries needed to pay back their climate debt is still nowhere to be seen. The host country, Azerbaijan, is a repressive and authoritarian petrostate that has committed ethnic cleansing and genocidal acts towards Armenians. Civil society present at COP29 are being silenced, yet continue fighting and pushing negotiators towards the bare minimum.
All of this while oppression, inequalities, wars, and genocides all over the world continue to intensify. Those in power are worsening the destabilization and destruction of our life-supporting ecosystems. We are on track to experience the hottest year ever recorded, with global greenhouse gases reaching an all-time high just last year.
It is clear that the current systems are not working in our favor. The COP processes aren’t just failing us, they are part of a larger system built on injustice and designed to sacrifice current and future generations for the opportunity of a few to keep making unimaginable profits and to continue exploiting planet and people.
With every negotiation, with every speech made by a world leader, and with every agreement they sign, it becomes clear that it is up to us as a global collective to take the action we so desperately need, and to show where the leadership truly lies. They are not going to do it for us, as this COP29 yet again proves.
