Yes, next to the AI space farms growing our food sustainably
That would be an insult to dumbasses
#PublicServiceAnnouncement re: "climate summits":
There's only two possible outcomes to a #COP climate summit:
One: there IS agreement on a deal that doesn't mean anything.
Two: there is NO agreement on a deal that doesn't mean anything.
Both have one thing in common: they don't mean anything.
We've done it: we've used all the planet produces in one year already! Earth Overshoot Day is today! @eco-overshoot.bsky.social @overshoot.bsky.social @footprintecology.bsky.social @endovershoot.bsky.social #overshoot #collapse #overpopulation

No way. Not happening.
Zelensky has given Trump everything that Trump demanded in return for absolutely nothing beyond a vague promise of some nebulous something. This is what happens when one believes the non-credible promises of a US that weaponises you for its own purposes www.ft.com/content/1890...
The old ways of thinking, the stories we were told about endless growth and progress, are shattering in real time. The fact that most people are sensing something is terribly off, even if we donβt know what to do about it, is the first step toward something new.
Based on carbon budgets from Lamboll et al www.nature.com/articles/s41... - updated to January 2025, the global rate for cutting CO2 inline with a 50% chance of not exceeding 1.5Β°C is ~19% year on year. For "well below 2Β°C" its ~7% each year; i.e. a technology revolution AND profound social change.
Evening Ian.
Those dystopian books we read in school are looking less like fiction and more like a blueprint.
No wonder theyβre being bannedβthey want to keep us in the dark.

Last month was the warmest January on record globally! Outside of the contiguous United States, most continental land regions were much warmer than average.

Yes, sit tight and assess.
+1.75Β°C above pre-industrial! π₯΅
January 2025 for Europe was 2.51Β°C above 1991-2020!
Arctic sea-ice extent fell again yesterday and is now over 400,000 square kilometers below the previous record daily low for Feb. 2.
The heat is on!
Red = lowest ecological integrity.
Ireland has the great honour of being probably *the* most ecologically trashed nation in all Europe. π π π
What a mystery it was!
Climate and ecological breakdown are direct consequences of fossil capitalβs capture of our culture and politics. Voting and buying βgreenβ will not get us out of this deathtrap system.
βWhat should give us reason to keep fighting is the fact that we still have choices. Choices about how we face collapse and how we act as it unfolds. We should work to reduce suffering, to create a more controlled and less chaotic descent.β
Weβre doubling down on fossil fuels and environmental destruction with plans like Project 2025. Itβs not a plan, itβs a death sentence. Itβs a tragedy. It's a stunning, heartbreaking failure of leadership and humanity itself.
Yes, collapse of the biosphere, who cares. Economy may shrink??! OMG, this is serious folks
