“At 3C of global heating, climate damage cannot be insured against, covered by governments, or adapted to. That means no more mortgages or new real estate devt, no long-term investment, no financial stability. The financial sector as we know it ceases to function and capitalism ceases to be viable.”

French lawmakers back bill to bring back village bars
France's rural areas have seen the number of its cafés drop in the last few decades. The lower house of Parliament passed a bill that would make it easier for café owners to be granted a permit to sell alcohol.

"Public investment" vs "Wasteful Subsidy." The only problem with this clever Singer cartoon is that some people might actually not get that it’s sarcastically illustrating the incorrect perception problem, NOT telling the truth. Just in case it actually needs to be said, the truth is the opposite.
Cartoon noting the irony that car infrastructure is commonly considered a public investment, and public transit infrastructure is often attacked as a wasteful subsidy, when the opposite is actually true.

In 1996, Utrecht NL transformed a 6-lane car street thru the heart of the city into a car-free street that easily carries 40k people on bikes a day plus a LOT of public transit riders — far more people now than ever moved on it in cars. And with so much less pollution/emissions, noise & public cost.

Far right-wing forces have long argued that government doesn’t work. They routinely provide irrefutable evidence that government doesn’t work when we foolishly give THEM control over it.
