BellingenNSW<p>As US climate data-gathering is gutted, Australian forecasting in the dark</p><p>"This year, Australia has experienced record-breaking floods, tropical cyclones, heatwaves on land and in the ocean, drought, coral bleaching, coastal erosion and devastating algal blooms. Over the past five years, insured losses from extreme events have risen to A$4.5 billion annually – more than double the 30-year average."</p><p>"America’s sweeping cuts to science will have large ripple effects.

BellingenNSW<p>The 2024 state of the climate report: Perilous times on planet Earth</p><p>Conclusion: "Despite six IPCC reports, 28 COP meetings, hundreds of other reports, and tens of thousands of scientific papers, the world has made only very minor headway on climate change, in part because of stiff resistance from those benefiting financially from the current fossil-fuel based system. We are currently going in the wrong direction, and our increasing fossil fuel consumption and rising greenhouse gas emissions are driving us toward a climate catastrophe. We fear the danger of climate breakdown. The evidence we observe is both alarming and undeniable, but it is this very shock that drives us to action. We recognize the profound urgency of addressing this global challenge, especially the horrific outlook for the world's poor. We feel the courage and determination to seek transformative science-based solutions across all aspects of society.. Our goal is to provide clear, evidence-based insights that inspire informed and bold responses from citizens to researchers and world leaders. Rapidly phasing down fossil fuel use should be a top priority...In a world with finite resources, unlimited growth is a perilous illusion."<br>>><br>Ripple, J, W., & et al.

BellingenNSW<p>The tyranny of automobility and sprawl</p><p>While the Bellingen /Gleniffer area is transitioning from an ‘idyllic tourist town’ into a ‘normal Aussie suburb’ (of Coffs Harbour), road congestion gets everyone stuck in traffic.</p><p>Car dependent motorists in their SUVs and bloated oversized trucks demand more and wider roads, larger car parking and a right to pothole-free roads for their 'sports utility vehicles’.</p><p>Extreme commuting for the necessaries of life are conducted in big private vehicles powered by fossil fuel. An aggregate of ugly big-box stores (large format retail, Coffs) with hostile giant car parks deliver what consumers desire. These consumption hubs are mostly inaccessible to pedestrians and can be dangerous ‘non-places’ (Marc Augé).</p><p>The mobility design of old school traffic engineers responds to the sprawling expansion with more of the same: more roads, wider roads and bypassing the last bypass. They call it ‘upgrades’. </p><p>As the latest $2.2 billion highway or forest road ‘upgrade/s’ are blasting their way through the landscape, they are silent about the ‘public bads’: the destroyed biodiversity habitat, the downgraded neighbourhoods, the violence and the polluted biosphere.</p><p>The ‘normality’ of automobility, or the 'car in the head' in petromodernity together with regulatory inertia make a transition to alternative land uses, energy systems, mobilities and ways of being a challenge.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/sprawl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sprawl</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/suburbia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>suburbia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/mobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mobility</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cars</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/roads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>roads</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/JevonsParadox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JevonsParadox</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/externalities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>externalities</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/automobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>automobility</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pollution</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>biodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ClimateExtremes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateExtremes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuels</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Petromodernity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Petromodernity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/GlenifferRoad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GlenifferRoad</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/CoffsHarbour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CoffsHarbour</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Bellingen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bellingen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SettlerSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SettlerSociety</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/liveability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>liveability</span></a></p>
BellingenNSW<p>Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism<br>The extraction-transition nexus</p><p>"We’re not really in an energy transition as it is popularly understood. What we’re in is a period of major energy addition, in which both fossil fuels and renewable sources are growing at a rapid clip."</p><p>"The sheer power of multinational companies means there’s an asymmetric relation between them and their host states. The more important question becomes: why are we experiencing such a boom and such a rush around the inputs for the green transition? Evidently the main driver of demand for, say, lithium, is electric vehicles. But that raises the further question: is there a way to organize the decarbonization of transport without reproducing auto dependency? The real challenge we face is to avoid reproducing our current, entrenched habits via green technology."<br>>><br>Thea Riofrancos, The Extracted Earth, Interview by Thomas Meaney, Granta, 2024 <br><a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53e8fd0ee4b065351ce13257/t/66914a817609a817b6b4fbc8/1720797825910/The+Extracted+Earth+_+Thea+Riofrancos+_+Granta.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">static1.squarespace.com/static</span><span class="invisible">/53e8fd0ee4b065351ce13257/t/66914a817609a817b6b4fbc8/1720797825910/The+Extracted+Earth+_+Thea+Riofrancos+_+Granta.pdf</span></a></p><p>Book: Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism<br><a href="http://www.theariofrancos.com/extraction" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="">theariofrancos.com/extraction</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>energy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mining</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/extractivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>extractivism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/lithium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lithium</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/extraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>extraction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/frontiers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>frontiers</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/transportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transportation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cars</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/AutoDependency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutoDependency</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/transition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transition</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuels</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MoreandMore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MoreandMore</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/harm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>harm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MobilityDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MobilityDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FutureMade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FutureMade</span></a> in <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/renewables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>renewables</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ClimateExtremes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateExtremes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/IndigenousPeoples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousPeoples</span></a></p>
