largest oil reserve in the world: Venezuela
largest untapped rare earth minerals in the world and significant offshore oil reserves: Greenland
second largest oil reserves in Africa: Nigeria
Probably just coincidences.

Yes the last 10% will be hard, yes we should probably consume less stuff, yes capitalism.
But right now we have proven technologies, available at the necessary scale to real make some serious progress; and they are actually cheaper than doing the wrong things. The "easy" parts make up 80-90% of the problem, so we can fix 80-90% of the problem now.
Literally the only thing stopping us is that leaders all over the world chose not to do so.

@Tallish_Tom Leaders, yes, they are obstructive and greedy. But will we all do what it takes, if our leaders suddenly start doing what they should? Will we stop shopping, consuming (everything, money, resources, etc), and polluting?
No, we won't. We will die first.
And die we will... 😭
I mean, if an EU citizen’s initiative to tax the rich cannot get a paltry 1 million signatures (less than one quarter of one percent of the population), I guess we really must deserve this bullshit system.
You still have five days, sign this ffs:

The average refrigerator in the U.S.A. lives 12 years before becoming dysfunctional.
Ours is 8 years old, and the main power board has gone out(1).
I am getting it repaired because I refuse to throw it out. It is too young, and I don't want to contribute to unnecessary waste. And I don't want to spend so much money every 8-12 years. And, so, we are living out of a cooler for the last week, and it may stretch into next week.
Repairing a refrigerator is difficult. Not many companies do it anymore. It is also expensive. It will cost us $350, about a third of the price of a comparable refrigerator. That's not it, though. We are ordering more food. That is expensive and generates a lot more waste. We are generating more food waste because we have limited cooler space. We have to buy ice every day. My family is wavering on the precipice of "why don't we just buy a new one?" It is difficult to repair a refrigerator.

Gaza was mostly self-sufficient in vegetables and poultry, and met much of the population’s demand for olives, fruit and milk. (...) just 1.5% of its agricultural land now remains both accessible and undamaged.
(...) the systematic destruction of farmland by the Israeli military. Ground troops have demolished greenhouses; bulldozers have toppled orchards, ploughed out crops and crushed the soil; and planes have sprayed herbicides over the fields.

@tante Well it’s about time mainstream economists notice basically 3 companies passing the same money around holding up about 25% of the US economy!
@gimulnautti @tante I saw this meme few days ago …

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.

An LLM can't do anything but destroy the ecosystem and your brain, therefore an LLM must never be used.
Israel’s Attacks on Seed Banks Destroy Millennia of Palestinian Cultural Heritage | Truthout (2025-09-03)
>> This summer, Israeli bulldozers rolled through the West Bank city of Hebron with ruthless efficiency, targeting not soldiers or weapons caches, but something deeply vulnerable: Palestine’s only surviving national seed bank.
>> Within hours of the bulldozers’ arrival on July 31, 2025, the Union of Agricultural Work Committees’ seed multiplication facility lay in ruins — its propagation materials scattered, its infrastructure demolished, and with it, generations of Palestinian agricultural heritage reduced to rubble.
>> … #ecocide functions across temporal scales. The destruction of seed banks eliminates not just current agricultural capacity, but future possibilities for food sovereignty …
