#PublicServiceAnnouncement re: "climate summits":
There's only two possible outcomes to a #COP climate summit:
One: there IS agreement on a deal that doesn't mean anything.
Two: there is NO agreement on a deal that doesn't mean anything.
Both have one thing in common: they don't mean anything.

Zelensky has given Trump everything that Trump demanded in return for absolutely nothing beyond a vague promise of some nebulous something. This is what happens when one believes the non-credible promises of a US that weaponises you for its own purposes www.ft.com/content/1890...

The old ways of thinking, the stories we were told about endless growth and progress, are shattering in real time. The fact that most people are sensing something is terribly off, even if we don’t know what to do about it, is the first step toward something new.

This is the collapse…of the American Empire. This messy reality we’re already living through. And yes, it’s going to get a lot worse. By a few decades, or by the end of this century, it could very wel...

Based on carbon budgets from Lamboll et al www.nature.com/articles/s41... - updated to January 2025, the global rate for cutting CO2 inline with a 50% chance of not exceeding 1.5°C is ~19% year on year. For "well below 2°C" its ~7% each year; i.e. a technology revolution AND profound social change.

Those dystopian books we read in school are looking less like fiction and more like a blueprint.
No wonder they’re being banned—they want to keep us in the dark.

Last month was the warmest January on record globally! Outside of the contiguous United States, most continental land regions were much warmer than average.

Climate and ecological breakdown are direct consequences of fossil capital’s capture of our culture and politics. Voting and buying “green” will not get us out of this deathtrap system.

We’re doubling down on fossil fuels and environmental destruction with plans like Project 2025. It’s not a plan, it’s a death sentence. It’s a tragedy. It's a stunning, heartbreaking failure of leadership and humanity itself.

International Law is officially dead, by the West's own hand: The Polish PM declared he will ensure the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Netanyahu's arrest will be ignored when he visits Poland. Meanwhile US Congress imposed sanctions on ICC officials.

Shocking, and also, makes no difference. Net Zero is impossible for many reasons, but for one, 8 billion humans cannot exist without severe consequences on the biosphere. At least these crooks stopped pretending.
