@arstechnica I don't know about US, but in EU we're more worried about apocalyptic climate change that is accelerated by people continuing to burn stuff (including, but not limited to, in internal combustion engine cars) than a few car manufacturers having a hard time because they doggedly stuck to designing and making more shitty petrol, diesel & hybrid cars.
The reason why we would love to see more accounts talk about composting on the #fediverse is simple.
You will be able to focus on your area and explain to local people what they can compost and where they can get their organic matter.
You can create a local community that will help your local area make a better place.
If we started this account it is for a main reason. Make people understand that by choosing to compost they can have a positive impact and do something about the #ClimateChange.
So creating a multitude of local accounts that will allow people to organize and make their area a better place is a very powerful thing to do for the #climate.
The chickens are coming home to roost. A short article that discusses the very likely problems that climate change will induce in the banking industry. That is the one that has colluded in much of the damage that has and is being done at the moment.
"But by far the biggest use of gas in Australia is in the production and liquification of it for export. , ... , but this is not a very important export industry. The industry employs 20,000 people – one-sixth as many as Coles – and pays little in taxes and royalties." Alan Kohler, TND May 13, 2024. #climate#climatechange#climatecrisis climatecrisis
'Sad What We Are Doing': Global CO2 Increase Sets New All-Time Record.
"I'd make this the lead story in every paper and newscast on the planet," said Bill McKibben. "If we don't understand the depth of the climate crisis, we will not act in time." #ClimateChange
Federal budgets are often centered on discussions of "inflation," the "economy," and "economic growth," but amidst these conversations, the deeper truth about our reliance on #nature often gets sidelined. Economists argue that without valuing the #environment, human activity on earth is unsustainable. While concepts like " #ecosystem services" have gained traction, they still fall short of acknowledging humans as part of a larger system that sustains all life. With climate change and #biodiversity loss worsening, a radical shift in #humanity 's relationship with ecosystems is needed. As we await the budget speech, it's crucial to remember the reality of climate change and its implications for our planet's future. #ClimateChange#EnvironmentalAwareness#BudgetPriorities#auspol
Hurricanes, heatwaves and rising seas: The impacts of record ocean heat.
Record ocean temperatures suggest the seas are warming faster than expected, and the impacts will be felt from polar ice shelves to coastal cities across the globe. #ClimateChange
Removing PFAS from public water systems will cost billions and take time – here are ways you can filter out harmful ‘forever chemicals’ at home. #ClimateChange
Tim Lenton and Steve collaborated on another report for which those with pensions or those who have those with pensions can press their funds to respond to. It's their fiduciary responsibility to accurately assess risk (see pdf below)
In the 1880s, the mark of consumption among elites was replacing gaslights for electric ones. Today it is the replacement of electric ones for useless decorative gas lights that constantly burn. We see these in many wealthy neighborhoods in Chicago.
I really don't know about the mechanics of this system. Nor do I know anything about the people. Just always find such fixtures strange.
A little over 20 years ago when I was doing a post grad research degree on #ClimateChange, I remember who shocked I was by the R4's Today platforming of misinformation on climate science, nothing changes...
