All delay in climate mitigation is now #PredatoryDelay. medium.com/@AlexSteffen...
like none humanity has ever known before. We've let that work wait too long, as well. Staving off catastrophic climate change is now only a part of humanity's total climate challenge. That's when we are, in 2026. That's what #predatorydelay has cost us.” — @AlexSteffen on Facebook 2/

This #RTÉ article is actually a dreadful example of the classic journalistic sin of #FalseBalance. But, in coverage of aviation in general, that has become standard procedure across far too much of the "professional" media. #PredatoryDelay
Yup. "Pragmatism" is the new #PredatoryDelay. And it's widespread. "Leaders" spouting this cynical narrative should hang their heads in shame. History may judge them even more harshly than "honest" denialists.
Nice primer on Sustainable Aviation Fuel #SAF. #TLDR: there's very little available, and it's primary use is to motivate and facilitate #PredatoryDelay in effective climate mitigation. My own takeaway: we (global north) need measures for #FlyingLess or, preferably, not at all.

"... Not only are we on course to blow our first two carbon budgets to 2030, the sectoral ceilings agreed by the last government already don’t add up to meet the 2030 budget, in fact they exceed it..." #ImplicatoryDenial #PredatoryDelay

It would be difficult to overstate just how appallingly bad it was - the questions posed was weak in themselves, but the leaders responses were just ... awful. All of them. #ImplicatoryDenial and #PredatoryDelay writ large.

As long as I live, I'll never fully get over the fact that modest-yet-steady progress towards sustainability and decarbonization (begun early enough) could once have staved off global catastrophe.
The planetary crisis was a chosen outcome, not an inevitable one.

It's really heavy to think about the momentum climate advocates had in the early nineties, and how little came of it.

The idea that the rapid worsening of the crisis is a shocking surprise serves the political interests of all the groups and leaders who heard the warnings again and again... and did nothing.

It is interests of the vast majority of humanity to move as quickly as possible on climate action and ruggedization.
That those delaying action benefit from their delays while others suffer the losses is what makes those delays predatory.

The cost of having failed to take bold climate action before we set in motion catastrophic consequences is that now we need to take bold action WHILE we wrestle with the impacts of climate chaos.

This really ought to be a central conversation in every discussion of negative emissions schemes: Who pays?

"So why do so many continue to believe that EVs are a too costly? Partly to blame is a concerted misinformation campaign by those who stand to lose."

Treating fossil fuel interests as even capable of having an honest debate about climate necessity makes us vulnerable to #predatorydelay manipulation.

I agree w/ @MayorJenny that “The litigation is not making the city any better & it’s not helping anyone.”
But the solution is win @ Hearing Examiner then do SEPA reform, not reward bad faith #predatoryDelay by kneecapping every progressive zoning change in back room deals.
Why we need SEPA reform:
a small house obviously doesn’t cause enough adverse impact to merit a SEPA review, but a zoning ordinance that allows small houses requires 5 years of study, appeal, study, appeal.....

Meanwhile SCALE's #predatorydelay has cost Seattle 700 rent restricted affordable dwellings. That's about 1500 people, your neighbors, who are suffering, maybe even living on the streets....
