The word "growth" is a core term in the language of climate politics. As we just saw, climate economists estimate the costs of climate damages relative to the amount of economic growth they project into the twenty-first century, and by and large they assume that such growth will continue no matter how hot and chaotic the planet gets. Their belief in a future of continued economic growth enables another idea sometimes used to justify sustaining the fossil- fuel economy: the idea that economic growth is itself a climate-change solution, a form of environmental protection that will shield the prosperous from climate devastation. This belief is so bipartisan, so ubiquitous, that it's not quite accurate to call it propaganda. It's best understood as a *myth*. This myth is often taken for reality by both fossil-fuel partisans on the right and climate-conscious progressives on the center-left.
Today feels like a good day to remind everyone that there is literally no empirical evidence that economic growth will just continue if the world heats up to, say, 3Β°C by 2100.
Continued growth is just *assumed* in every economic model of the relationship between temperatures and growth.

Fossil fuel compagnies will keep on exploiting global labor, burning the planet and dismantling sustainablity regulation until the morale improve.
Also, I hope that the main cause for our inability to reverse our collective trajectory to ecological disaster is clear for everyone by now.

When we look at this massacre and many more perpetrated by the RSF, let's be clear who funds, equips & sustains them. It's the UAE. Yes, the same UAE that might own your football club, fly you on your holidays, invests in our national infrastructure. If boycotts work, we should be boycotting now.

Iβve been saying that I felt Trumpβs dramatic escalation in recent days was driven in part by Muskβs emasculation of him last week.
I also wonder whether itβs being driven by Zelenskyβs profound humiliation of Putin, and Putin lashing out at Trump for not delivering Ukraine to him.

I'm finding biking in fringe areas is great! Extensive infrastructure for cycling, but it seems like putting the cart before the horse to push core density before having the infrastructure and funding to make it as successful as it can be.

It seems like a good way to encourage increased density is by favouring central neighbourhoods for funding projects instead of fringe areas. I have a hard time biking around core areas. Many city-funded programs (rec guide, etc) are located away from the core areas.
