@paulwermer@sfba.socialOne feature of the #ClimateCrisis that is not really recognized (at least emotionally) is that our actions have devastating impacts in place that were "untouched" by humans. And these impacts are not easily slowed or reversed.

@samueljohn@mastodon.worldThe important quote from the expert panel is "However, early speculation that the high proportion of renewable energy favoured the outage was refuted." #renewables #ClimateCrisis
@rainerzufall_le@mastodon.socialBit of an odd request: Does anyone happen to have a screenshot of this viral tweet on the #climatecrisis?
It was along the lines of
"Me opening a beer: Ah, it doesn't get better than this
Climate scientists: Yup"
@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsThere is no #ClimateCrisis and everything's fine.
That's why wherever I go, I see random water flood dam bags left over from the last sudden floods, in totally unexpected places. A few years I would be surprised to see a single one.
@maxheadroom@hub.uckermark.socialSo far it has rained 227L/sqm in my neighbourhood this year. 135L/sqm of that alone in July. an 77L/sqm in the last 7 days. #ClimateCrisis
@paulwermer@sfba.social"Refinery fires are part of life in the South Bay, which is home to several major oil production facilities."

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsWouldn't it be great if #AI reached the point of giving us good hints on how to combat the #ClimateCrisis, such as "stop wasting energy and resources on toys such as LLMs"? Except then we'd actually start doubting it.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsHow often do you stop to consider how much harm has come from the absurd capitalist notion of "everyone must work for living" [does not apply to the rich], and its sister notion "everyone must work full hours"?
How many harmful technologies couldn't be phased out because it meant a lot of people losing their only source of income? How many destructive industries have been proliferating simply because closing them down would mean a lot of people without jobs? How much further are we going to push for the absurd notion of infinite growth?
And of course it only applies to the quasi-privileged groups. Nobody cares when lots of "low-tech" people are laid off and told to find a new job, because techbros need their new "high-tech" (read: more destructive to the planet) ideas to sell.
