The South Australien Government has made an ad about its new anti-protest legislation and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Exceptional essay from @brianbeutler.bsky.social:

"If the politics of tyranny were self-discrediting, we wouldn't need mantras like 'never again.'"

"Despotism doesn’t impose itself on everyone all at once. It creeps inward from the margins of society."

We probably need to go back to ~350 ppm CO₂ equivalent for temperatures to stop rising.

We are now above 573 ppm (GHG forcing of +4.1 W/m²).

That's without aerosols cooling things down.

There's too much uncertainty to be sure, but going back to 350 ppm is already a Herculean task.

What an *interesting* way of framing the ongoing collapse of Ireland’s marine ecosystems, largely driven by industrial overfishing.

Fishing industry facing 'economic Armageddon'

The Irish fishing industry has warned it is bracing for catastrophic fishing quotas next year that "could collapse the Irish fishing sector and devastate major fishing communities".

Sharp rise in UK plastic exports shows how behind the country is

The EU has agreed to ban exports of waste to poorer nations. The ban comes into force in November 2026

The UK does not have a similar ban in place

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

UK plastic waste exports to developing countries rose 84% in a year, data shows

Campaigners say increase in exports mostly to Malaysia and Indonesia is ‘unethical and irresponsible waste imperialism’

Weil heute mal wieder in der Zeit steht, dass die Antikaps in der #Kilmabewegung schuld am Nichtklimaschutz sind: es gibt im #Kollaps kein Problem, dass die Verdrängungsmitte NICHT durch ein imaginiertes Hufeisen wegerklären und sich so reinwaschen will...

Die Klimahufeisenerzählung, oder: Männer, die die Welt verdrängen

Bald ist die Klimabewegung Schuld am Klimakollaps, Migrant*innen am Faschismus, Frauen daran, dass sie die Incels nicht sexuell befriedigen. Alle schuld: außer der Mitte.
