New LNG Projects: A Climate Bomb Equal to Coal?

New LNG export terminals could emit over 10 Gt CO₂e by 2030—nearly matching global coal plant emissions! The “gas transition” myth collapses amid methane leaks and LNG’s huge carbon footprint. #ecology #capitalism #collapse #climate#fossilFuels A major warning has been issued: global plans for new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals could generate over 10 gigatonnes of greenhouse gas… EN/FR versions below ⬇️

The German climate movement used to be among the most powerful. Then we, too, got flattened by the backlash & the reality of #collapse.

But there's a new hope in the darkness: a #justcollapse movement just held its 1st #Kollapscamp.

Read our report back here: of our joy and our self-criticism, our pride - and our exhaustion 😅

"Collapse of critical Atlantic current is no longer low-likelihood, study finds"

Each mention is just 1 data point. But once you add them up... #Kollapscamp

Limits to Growth: To Save the Planet, We Need New Ways of Thinking

The mess we’re in was not only foreseeable; it was foreseen. In 1972 a landmark paper was published: The Limits to Growth. It’s been called “the most influential science paper of the last 50 years”.

Fifty years after its publication, Limits to Growth is still the best place to start investigating humanity’s prospects for future survival.

Here's my summary:

Pretty heartening macro view

"This 1-per-cent view has skewed our perspective on collapse and history. What we need now is a history of collapse for the 99 per cent. Only with that can we truly understand what the rise and fall of empires meant, both for the people of the past and also for us today."

Signal is convenient and no doubt more secure than most conventional messaging apps. And it's kind of nice to see so many activists have made it their home, leaving WhatsApp or Instagram groups behind.

Yay 😺

But #Signal is not a #federated system. It's centralised with its base in the fascist states of America. That should set your alarm bell going.

Not so much because of the nagging feeling that there must be a catch. (Did someone leave a backdoor open?) 🙀

No, more because of control and #collapse. If a single company controls all our private communication, this means it takes only a single blow to wipe our networks. If Signal's services collapse, due to some natural or artificial catastrophe, we'd be nowhere and scrambling to find our bearings.

So, although I'm not suggesting people abandon Signal en masse, I do think it's wise for people to start exploring and experimenting with federated alternatives.

If in every community or #activist network there are a few people who know how to use alternative and decentralised messaging software, and willing to share that knowledge, set up some kind of fall-back, then when things get prickly there will at least be a known path forward for you and your comrades 😼

McDonald's global sales slumped in the second quarter, marking the first decline for the fast-food giant since 2020 as inflation-weary consumers pull back on eating out.

On my list: #book by #LukeKemp:
“ #History is best told as a story of organised crime,” ... “It is one group creating a monopoly on resources through the use of violence over a certain territory & population. [...]The key thing is this is not about all of #humanity creating these threats. It is not about human nature. It is about small groups who bring out the worst in us, competing for profit and power and covering all the risks up.”

I’m dealing with multiple severe chronic illnesses, including serious heart issues and frequent loss of consciousness.

Yet most days I feel like supply chain issues will be what kills me.

It’s terrifying to rely on medications & medical supplies during these uncertain times.

You can’t “just stock up” on medications.

Financial issues aside, there’s insurance issues and often limits as to how much a person can have.

There’s virtually no way you can “prep” for medication shortages, and it’s scary.

I spent this entire day trying to track down a medication that’s on back order.

Trying to find an alternative.

Trying to cobble together enough to survive.

People who are non disabled have no idea how scary it is to know that supply chain disruptions could quickly & painfully end your life.

We need a system to ensure medication needs are met.
