Gries Glacier

Over last 12 months it has lost 6 meters in thickness at the bottom and even the top has melted! π§π₯
Between 2000 and 2023, the glacier lost 800 m in length, and is now 3.2 km shorter than in 1880! π
Average thickness, now only 57 m... π±

Attached is a suggestion I made several years ago. It would need to be part of a broader package, including eliminating first & business class, & ensuring even the first flight incurs the same tax & carbon costs as other fuels do. Aviation remains heavily dependent on its highly privileged status

The ocean cannot continue to take this huge amount of heat
Already as air moves over ocean it is picking up this excess heat and moisture, leading to excess heat hurricanes floods on land

But we are talking about degrowth economics not about child development.
IMO degrowth is already being recognized - but I might be biased.

What I told Piers Morgan on his show this week, about the ludicrous and colonial plan to have Blair help Trump run Gaza.

If this deal holds, if it goes beyond the 1st phrase, if all of the hostages on both side are released, if Israel withdraws its troops & doesn't resume bombing, if aid gets in, then I'll give Trump credit.
But I count 5 "ifs" above. Let's see. Trump always tends to disappoint.
I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to now praise Trump for his peace-making and ignore the fact that at least 20,000 Palestinians have been killed on his watch, with bombs & bullets - & rhetorical support! - that he supplied to Israel.
That's all erased now.

The idea that people cant adjust to new careers if given the tools to do so is probably the weakest and most common argument against degrowth that Iβve encountered.
It hinges entirely on the idea that we canβt dismantle harmful industries because the people in them are too dumb/uneducated to learn
