From cigarettes to artificial intelligence, humans learned the hard way which innovations are beneficial and which need to be tolerated like a chronic disease. Civilization is an experiment, and we are mad scientists: too risk-taking, and always willing to be guinea pigs in our own research.

It's been quite something to see one of the world's leading climate scientists, James Hansen, being vilified the past years for presenting data showing the rapid acceleration of global and regional warming, associated with continued greenhouse gas emissions and rapid reduction of air pollution.

The government's plans for carbon capture + hydrogen could consume 860mn litres of water a day - which may leave some parts of England without enough water to meet demand, even with additional reservoirs being built, report finds.

Charlie Chaplin in 1940 - as relevant today as then
We all want to help each other - we want to live by each others happiness, not by each others misery, we don"t want to hate and despite one another -
but we have lost our way
Greed has poisoned men"s souls
our cleverness made us hard and unkind

Society feels like a huge laboratory experiment owned by macho scientists: everyone wants to take credit, no one has a fucking clue, and an explosion is about to level the place down

As a nemopholist 🌳, mycophile 🍄‍🟫 and general lover of nature, I haven't really posted much of my other passion... ornithology

Here's a beautiful (Northern) Lapwing. I love the iridescent green. 💚

When Rachel analysed methane emissions data, the area around Drax had the UK's second highest levels of this potent greenhouse gas. Is using taxpayer money to subsidise chopping down forests to burn wood to power a data centre, the best way to address climate change?

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

I have very strong doubts about the 'Current Policy Scenario' (CPS) by the @iea.org.

What policies guarantee coal use to start a rapid decline within a decade?

Weak tea pledges don't count.

Unregulated fossil fuel supply has always found demand.
