What has nature ever done for us? We have a reasonable chance to find out exactly how much we depend on a balanced Planet in the coming years. Will the current cadre of leadership be able to save themselves by clutching on to their pearls?

People need assistance during this fuel crisis, but this is not the way to do it. Government has bowed to pressure from right wing lobbyists that chain us to fossil fuel dependence. The debt for this will be paid in human health and wellbeing. www.rte.ie/news/budget-...

The thing about oil, gas, plastics, petro-chemicals: It's not renewable or circular if we don't get to have dinosaurs at the end.

Complete failure of public representation because they're captured by the industry. What mechanism provides the incentives to our politicians to ignore non industry perspective?

Government report on data centres was 'flawed' and 'exaggerated', new research claims Makes you wonder if the original research was executed by a industry friendly source or maybe with AI? 😂 #speirgorm #Datacenters jrnl.ie/7165266

The study also suggests that nearly 50,000 homes could have been built if the resources in the data centre build-out were directed elsewhere.

And at the same time not invest in social infrastructure in the poor areas around you. If the system doesn't offer you ah choice, the next best choice will be taken. That's why we all need to start thinking hard about how to get out of the mess that the current batch of rich sociopaths have made

Some parts of Eastern Germany, after the war, in local elections straight up voted for Nazis again. It's part of the reason why the European project became so important to some: give people another set of purpose. I don't think you can point at saxony now and say "have they not learned?"

After reunification, west Germany declared anything touched by communism in Eastern Germany undesirable. Factories, youth clubs, social structure were just . . . gone. Plus every grifter with a stake to claim came to cash in. Then the ratcatchers moved in. But there is more to it

"A future of profound warming may be imaginable, but its acceptability depends on the courage to act in ways that reduce both its likelihood and its human cost. Resilience is not merely endurance, but the capacity to redirect course collectively, with an honest acceptance of planetary limits."
