Nailed! thanks Alf for saying it so clearly

NZs industrial dairy freshwater disaster. I think that's me in the boat with Miles, Vicky and daisy. Feel i have made it to appear in a Sharon Murdoch cartoon

"The reality is that AI is primarily a military technology. Look at where the money and urgency are going. AI is already being built into surveillance, cyberwarfare, autonomous weapons, and propaganda." www.artberman.com/blog/beyond-...

Something that bugs me a lot is that schools don't hesitate to ban smartphones in a hot second but are anxiously and aggressively pushing students to rely on error-prone automated bullshit engines

Me again... "If we do not quickly end the burning of fossil fuels then by the middle of this century the heatwave that is currently subjecting millions of people across Europe to crippling heat and humidity could be happening every other year." www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/...

Any claim of being the pro-life party should now and forever be received with howls of derision. Among many, many horrors this bill is essentially a gigantic fuck you to today's and future children -- human and non-human. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/u...

"The climate has been barking at us for decades. It’s now beginning to sink its teeth into humanity. Every single way of avoiding further harm involves the rapid phase out of fossil fuels. Denying that is madness." jamesdyke.substack.com/p/the-climat...

When, finally, politicians get it into their orthodox-economics-addled heads that we are facing not just a few points shaved off of GDP but actual near-term real-world disaster, then risk assessments will swing very quickly to deployment of geoengineering. jamesdyke.substack.com/p/putting-ou...

Huge new @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social report - EU's data centre frenzy could enable 121 megatonnes of CO2-e "New data centre demand alone could consume as much as the added power needed for the electrification of the entire transport sector in the EU by 2030" @jillmcardle.bsky.social

We address overshoot, or nothing else we do will work. This is my mahi now too, so important that everyone understands this reality: (wind and solar power, EVs, non-existent carbon capture and storage) miss the point entirely. Bill Rees desertreport.org/whats-the-re...

Leaders pushing GDP growth mantra risking charge of 'ecocide' newsroom.co.nz/2025/02/07/l...

The vision of a carbon-free, net-zero society is often framed around the promise of transitioning away from fossil fuels. But what can we learn from past “energy transitions” that might inform how feasible – or unrealistic – this vision actually is?

"The risks are real. More fossil fuels mean more growth, more emissions, more environmental damage. If economic growth remains the goal, renewables only slow the problem. Trump’s fossil push may sideline renewables and keep the U.S. locked into an outdated system" www.artberman.com/blog/trumps-...
