New Zealands dairy driven freshwater disaster

Do the Math | Using physics and estimation to assess energy, growth, options—by Tom Murphy One of the most common reactions is that abandoning agriculture is tantamount to committing many billions of people to death, since the planet can’t support billions of hunter-gatherers—especially given the dire toll on ecological health already accumulated.

Nailed! thanks Alf for saying it so clearly

Beyond Surplus: Rethinking How Civilizations Rose | Art Berman The surplus story most of us learned is straightforward. Once humans learned to farm, they grew more food than they needed. That extra food freed some people to build, rule, trade, fight, worship, cre...

"The reality is that AI is primarily a military technology. Look at where the money and urgency are going. AI is already being built into surveillance, cyberwarfare, autonomous weapons, and propaganda."

Something that bugs me a lot is that schools don't hesitate to ban smartphones in a hot second but are anxiously and aggressively pushing students to rely on error-prone automated bullshit engines

Yeah The Conversation is slipping badly I see more and more of this rubbish, such a shame

Have a great break come back recharged

Something even more obvious is reducing consumption rather than trying to propup the utterly unsustainable wasteful lifestyles of the wealthy 10% responsible for > 50% of emissions and 75% of non-renewable material consumption

This is supposed to be ironic?

As Europe swelters, scientists warn things are going to get HOTTER Scientists say the extreme heat gripping Europe is only the start, with climate change set to make heatwaves more frequent, longer, and even more deadly.

Me again... "If we do not quickly end the burning of fossil fuels then by the middle of this century the heatwave that is currently subjecting millions of people across Europe to crippling heat and humidity could be happening every other year." www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/...

Senate Narrowly Passes Trump’s Policy Bill Amid Deep G.O.P. Divisions

Any claim of being the pro-life party should now and forever be received with howls of derision. Among many, many horrors this bill is essentially a gigantic fuck you to today's and future children -- human and non-human.

Putting out fire with gasoline Proposals to 'fix' climate change with geoengineering are unhinged, but risk becoming inevitable

When, finally, politicians get it into their orthodox-economics-addled heads that we are facing not just a few points shaved off of GDP but actual near-term real-world disaster, then risk assessments will swing very quickly to deployment of geoengineering.
