The sheer weight of AI hype from the Big Tech corporations forms the biggest begging bowl to govts we have ever seen, but it is disturbing & serious food for thought that Geoffrey Hinton, pioneer & expert on artificial neural networks, seems genuinely fearful about AGI usurping it's human masters.

The latest very true words from Julian Cribb @juliancribb.bsky.social "Yes, it’s the .. #COP30, .. where the fossil oligarchs toast their victory over #humanity ... they have successfully played the entire world for mugs, hypnotising us into #climate paralysis." cribb.substack.com/p/the-black-...

So plastics, like climate change, while they garner a lot of headlines (and not much action) are only a small facet of a very much larger, Earthwide problem: the metacrisis or compound human emergency.

To sleep, perchance to dream how we might reverse climate change by removing billions of tonnes of accumulated CO2 from Earth's atmosphere (spoiler: we can't). Thence to wake into the nightmare world where micro/nano-plastics may be permanently corrupting the biological functions of all life

The remorseless rise in levels of heat, pollution & acidification is a major concern for effects it's having on ocean marine habitats, incl those which support the phytoplankton that supplies half the oxygen needed for life on Earth. Getting worse & potentially catastrophic in the decadal near term?

Latest from @juliancribb.bsky.social. “The global problem of overfishing is far worse than is currently recognised,” states marine ecologist Graham Edgar.... “We found populations of many overfished species are in far worse condition than has been reported...."

"The vast accumulation of evidence shows that the human impact on Planet Earth has attained geological scale. We have become an ‘event’ with the destructive force of a supervolcano or large asteroid impact, but one that appears to be happening in slow-motion in terms of our own limited perceptions."

Australia issues ‘terrifying’ climate warning. By @juliancribb.bsky.social johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09...

Julian Cribb makes a good case on why it's time to rename our own species. Although he doesn't propose a new name in this piece, I would suggest "Homo destructivus."

Is it time to rename Homo sapiens? cribb.substack.com/p/why-we-sho...

"...successive LNP and Labor Governments have consistently placed the interest of oil and coal companies above those of the nation itself. It presents the Australian government with an acute dilemma – to side with its people or to side with foreign-owned fossil corporates." @juliancribb.bsky.social

We often worry about the wrong things. People killed annually by Sharks 10 Elephants 100 Hippos 500 Snails 10,000 Dogs 25,000 Snakes 50,000 People 475,000 Mosquitoes 725,000 🧪

Can we save a liveable Earth? No. The Doomer message is not that "It's too late to act." But rather, the stark realization that "No one is going to act."

"...humans have gone too far in exploiting the planet we live on, transgressed its safe boundaries - and must urgently reshape our lives, economy and civilisation if we hope to survive in the long run." "The key lies not only in producing things better, but also in producing better things..."
