2 Fehler in 2 Moma-Minuten, @ZDF Pipelines für #CCS verlaufen nicht tief im Gestein, sondern am Meeresboden zu sogenannten Injektionsanlagen. Und Meeresschutzgebiete sind nicht generell ausgenommen, sondern nur bestehende Schutzgebiete, keine neuen. Pipelines dürfen auch durch bestehende Schutzgebiete gebaut werden. Die Mitarbeiterin des BUND stellte auch Vieles schief dar - CCS geht auch ohne Öl-/Gasförderung, Speicherkapazitäten sind deutlich größer als von ihr angegeben (…). 🤨
Kann mir einfach nicht vorstellen wie sich da jemand mit #Verantwortungsbewusstsein irgendwann hinstellt & sagt "ich bin mir sicher dass nichts entweichen kann".
Ist das #Hybris oder sind die wirklich so gut inzwischen?
Today marks a special day. The last day 😭 of the N86 office location, long time known for #SAP#hybris here in Munich.
This is where extraordinary people crafted software, formed bonds that go far beyond work, fun times were had, challenges overcome.
I'll kiss these holy walls a final time.
Goodbye NY86. Hello SAP Labs Munich, out there in Garching. Taking the challenge and will ride by bike, 30km one way, with a stop at the calisthenics park 🔥
We urgently need to get off fossil fuels — coal, oil, and gas. Right? Does everyone agree with that?
Human extraction and burning of fossil fuels is destroying Earth's delicately balanced ecosystem and radically altering the stable climate that sustains us. Our industry and commerce are quickly making this world unlivable both for people and for countless innocent species who are dying now and who will disappear along with us in the near future if something doesn't change fast.
But the problem is, where do we go from here? How can we sustain our complex modern society without using fossil fuels to power it?
And… take another step beyond that. Are we even asking the right question? Does it truly make sense to try and find a way to sustain an unsustainable way of living?
Indrajit Samarajiva (https://indi.ca/about/) is a writer living in Sri Lanka. I’ve pointed to his essays before, and now I want you to consider his challenging response to the type of questions I’ve posed above.
The common understanding of winning the climate fight is that we stop using fossil fuels, stop emitting (and even capture) CO₂, and carry on with a virtually indistinguishable type of civilization. Broadly, we change the engine, but not the type of vehicle or where it’s going.
The general vibe is that one type of product (fossil fuels) is bad, and so we should switch to consuming other products (renewables!). If you look at the marketing of our climate change fight, the promise is that you can have the same lifestyle but in an electric vehicle and with a different type of milk.
The promise is that the future will be even better, faster, more comfortable, and without all that pesky guilt weighing you down. As the Miller Lite slogan goes, “same great taste, less filling.” This type of marketing is just another emission, called bullshit.
All of the ‘solutions’ to climate change are just marketing slogans to ‘keep capitalist and carry on’. It’s like cigarettes telling you that they have ‘less tar.’ Okay, but what about all the other shit? Infinite growth on a finite planet still gives you cancer in the long run, which is where we are.
As you can see, our stated goal of ‘fighting climate change’ is precisely the problem, which is human domination of the natural world. It’s the very idea that we should control nature that caused the problem. You can’t mitigate the effects of this hubris with more cause.
What are we proposing, really, with all this 'green growth' and ‘innovation’? We’re proposing to bind nature in lithium chains instead of hydrocarbons. That’s all. We’ve gotten away with it for so long that we think we can pull a fast one on nature again, but nature will not be fooled.
This is just the same old hubris in new packaging. This attitude of ‘fighting’ and ‘winning’ over nature is precisely why we lose. Nature is a balance. One species ‘winning’ is an oxymoron.
There’s much more in Indi’s potent essay, including numerous links to his previous work and to other useful information sources. I hope you’ll read the whole thing.

Was schlagen wir mit all dem "grünen Wachstum" + der "Innovation" vor?
Wir schlagen vor, die Natur statt durch CO2 durch Lithium zu fesseln.Das ist alles.
Wir ... denken, wir könnten die Natur wieder austricksen, aber die Natur lässt sich nicht täuschen.
Das ist nur die gleiche alte #Hybris in neuer Verpackung. Diese Einstellung, gegen die Natur zu "kämpfen" + sie zu "besiegen", ist der Grund, warum wir verlieren.
Die #Natur ist ein Gleichgewicht."
