I've never heard Blair being called a dogooder before - war criminal would be more apt - but he's saying what most refuse to admit about NotZero (apart from the logical conclusion that collapse is inevitable).

10 years after Paris and he’s one of the first mainstream dogooders to admit it ain’t gonna happen

this system CANT end fossil fuels because they ARE the system

so we’ll get collapse and quite possibly a nuclear winter for a scorched planet

The Warming Stripes have now been extended downwards into the ocean and upwards into the stratosphere!

Collaborative paper which tells the story of how the stripes were developed, and discusses their extension across the Earth system, is now available in BAMS: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

Graph showing: Annual LULUCF emissions: Finland

Probably the best example of a collapse in the uptake of carbon dioxide on land (LULUCF) is in Finland.

A significant and sustained carbon sink turned into a source in 10 years.

Incredible satellite image of the 33 (!!!!) operational fossil fuel combustion engines at the site of Elon Musk's XAI data centre

This is North Carolina farmer Jim Hartman who voted for Trump 3 times.

Now he says he wishes he looked at other candidates.

Trump’s cuts have caused his business to lose 50% of his revenue. Now Trump’s tariffs will hurt him even more.

He’s fed up.

Trump’s ‘climate’ purge deleted a new extreme weather risk tool. We recreated it The Guardian has recreated a searchable climate future risk tool developed by Fema but then deleted

FEMA released a great future Climate Risk Tool in December. “We changed the name of it, removed mentions of emissions scenarios, tried to not get it any attention,” said a source familiar with the FEMA project, who asked not to be named. “But it was taken down."

To call 10 million other species the “Environment” as if it’s a piece of space we walk into, is the most ignorant word. It’s like walking into a room full of people and only acknowledging the chairs

A tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) that reads: **"My companies make great products that people love and I’ve never physically hurt anyone. So why the hate and violence against me? Because I am a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls."**

This man is deeply unwell.

Very few humans can comprehend how predatory and invasive our civilisation is, given that all of our internal messaging, our version of our history on this planet, has been carefully crafted to make us appear not only innocent, but in fact, god-like

Remember: if the news you get comes from an outlet owned by a billionaire, you're only being told what the billionaires want you to hear.

Not understanding counterfactuals causes *a lot* of problems

I see this a lot in my little world of food, nature, and climate… but it’s everywhere

"The richest man alive, an actual Nazi and a fucking sicko, who was not elected, is firing tens of thousands of people to further enrich himself and the president he has usurped all to make Americans' lives worse" has to be among the biggest layups of all time for messaging. And yet.
