“The #Trump administration is planning to cancel its lease at a government laboratory in Hawaii, a site where scientists support key observations of surging greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere” #ClimateCrisis

“Oceans last year reached their highest levels in 3 decades — w global sea level rate rising higher than expected, according to NASA-led analysis. The unexpected rise in global levels is alarming, particularly for regional impacts around coastal cities, many of which are already experiencing more damaging flooding” #ClimateCrisis

Capitalism is directly at odds with a habitable biosphere because it's an economic system predicated on ever-expanding growth and finite resources.
The transition to green energy will be difficult and costly, and significant sacrifices, such as reducing consumption and shrinking industries, will be necessary. Such changes are simply not possible in a system based around consumerism.
@SiR_GameZaloT@paktodon.asiaI have been warning both friends and family about this, and advising them to ditch mains grid ASAP & behold:
#Pakistan effectively abandons #NetMetering to 'cope' with #Rooftop #solar revolution

Net-billing axed, electricity purchases from solar prosumers capped at roughly a FIFTH of what they sold from the grid, full sales tax (GST) + surcharges irrespective of net consumption, no tax refunds
This is so stupid lol
One of my favorite #Petrofuture maps….The Mississippi River becomes a vast inland sea reaching up to Memphis.
Of course New Orleans is gone. I mean, c’mon.

@Crispius@infosec.exchangeRemember when Trump solicited a billion dollars from the fossil-fuel industry?

@cynblogger@sfba.socialJust spitballing here, but if most services have been suspended (for which taxpayers through congressional appropriations have already paid or allocated funding), shouldn’t every taxpayer get a big, fat refund from the Fed?
No services, no costs, right?
REFUNDS NOW DUE FOR:
EPA regulations (clean air/water/enviro protections)
#ClimateCrisis Mitigation
Food safety
Veterans’ health services
COVID vaccines & tests
USAID funding
Food programs
Nat Security, spies, guarding nukes & bio weapons
Airline safety & TSA
Science grants
Education grants
Transportation improvements
Affordable housing
WHATEVER ELSE THEY’VE CUT.
Do all those bucks “saved” just pack 47’s pockets & Elmo’s pants, or what?
We’ve each paid taxes and rightfully expect services, security, safety from our gov’t.
WTF, DOGE? This Karen wants a fucking refund!
This is it! Hurrah!! Today is the big day!!!
If you're a United Statesian like me, today is the day — March 13, 2025 — when we have reached our country's maximum annual allotment of ecological consumption. If everyone on Earth lived like we do in the USA, there would now be nothing left to consume for the rest of the year. It would be all used up.
So, as of tomorrow, everyone here will stop driving, stop flying, stop shopping online, and...
Wait, what? That's not how it works? We're not going to stop??
Oh shit.

@kim_harding@mastodon.scotThe UK’s gamble on solar geoengineering is like using aspirin for cancer
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/12/solar-geoengineering-uk
Injecting pollutants into the atmosphere to reflect the sun would be extremely dangerous, but the UK is funding field trials.
This is gross stupidity! We CANNOT geoengineer our way out of the #ClimateCrisis

Why are (most) governments doing so much to cause a #ClimateCrisis? Why are many people more interested in making #money than making the environment less polluted? (& all the rhetoric that goes with that)
#Plutocracy & #plutocrats are the appropriate, general, why that is
In a #plutocracy, the rich use their wealth to influence or control political decisions. This, contrasts with a #democracy, where each person's vote is supposed to count equally
Eating meat \ animal agriculture & fossil fuel emissions have already caused an ecological catastrophe. Ecological time-lags is why humanity isn't aware of that fact (yet)
Time is running out for (ignorant) humanity. But, extinctions aside, ecologically degraded landscapes can be ecologically repaired (restored)
The rotten meat cultures

I'm fasting for some edicalmay rocedurepay so "low energy hangout" please.
I will throw you some primary journalism on the US/NZ/UK #ai #toTheHilt policy as it is existing now in practice.
Then I want to talk about programming that matters and why running the same llm again (faster) doesn't matter.
