Climate change is an immediate threat to the majority of the world's population.

We need a local, regional, state, national, and international "moon shot" type of concentration of effort using available resources while developing and advancing new science and technologies to counteract the damage humans have caused.

Climate Justice SocialBread and Circuses (@breadandcircuses@climatejustice.social)Is this approach simply too radical to be considered? _______________________ "Reducing Consumption: The Unpopular Answer To Global Crises" Most of the proposed solutions to civilizational collapse assume stable geopolitical environments and access to large amounts of capital and resources. However, they fail to address the heart of the matter, which is ever-rising consumption. Dramatically reducing consumption is not included in these plans, except by a few advocating for degrowth. Degrowth, or negative growth, means less consumption of stuff and energy over time. Achieving a steady-state economy with lower consumption levels is essential. Either we plan for it and execute a plan that takes us down to a fraction of what we consume today, or nature will force us into a steady-state level of consumption, possibly even lower than planned. Reducing consumption is the unpopular but necessary answer to global crises. It requires rethinking our current way of life and acting in ways that prioritize sustainability and long-term stability. _______________________ The question I posed above was obviously rhetorical. But you and I know the answer. Reducing consumption is not just too radical for consideration in our capitalist culture, it's totally unthinkable. Because lowered consumption would mean less economic growth or no growth at all, and we can't have that!!!

Hi Ricardo,

I agree with you on the climate-change mitigation strategy. 👍👍

I believe that you, and others concerned/alarmed by climate change, will likely be interested in a petition for radical reform of the UN 🇺🇳, which has been vocal but, sadly, ineffective when faced with climate change and other challenges of this century.

If indeed you are interested, the petition is accessible via toot:

@ricardoharvin thank you. This was interesting and it is good to know there is industry taking the challenge seriously.

@melanie I'm terrified and hopeful for our future 🤞🏿

@ricardoharvin amd that means working to reduce emissions, make things last longer and be repairable.

Because you know what's better than a 100% renewable powered EV?

Even better allowing people to work remotely wherever technically possible, so less traffic = commutong is less stressful for those that still have to.
