ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
I have a climate space at 11am est. People from 47 countries join to report what's happening. All continents excep Antarctica.
After a couple months on these calls I am telling you that Africans, Asians, and everyone impacted by climate and or colonization. Including indigenous people WANT RESTITUTION FOR THE DAMAGE.
which is extensive.
TRUTH - there is a media blackout on climate. I'm here to say it's a lot fucking worse then the little bits that slip into the news.
Not sure I follow the no shipping prediction.
@Sr0bi my gut instinct is that ships engines are water cooled systems. How hot would the engine rooms get while travelling the equator zone, could a human routinely survive those temperatures for significant times without impacting health?
@ucantstop_me
@ucantstop_me the sad thing? it will create no urgency for the powers that could do something to escalate plans to try & pause this in any way.
@singlemaltgirl we can't rely on the United States. We won't even try now.
Also I'm working with some indigenous folk on how they are protecting themselves. (As we all should)
If they try and put indigenous back onto reservations, you will find me fighting in northern minesota. I'm so fucking serious about this.
@ucantstop_me
Pretty sure it's too late already.
Population displacements driven by famine and lack of water will lead to resource wars and societal collapse.
I see the move to authoritarianism as a response to the coming chaos -- control what you can and use the lifeboat paddles to keep "others" out of the lifeboat
If there's was a global socialist push to reorient our economies to sustainability we might make it
It's the billionaires who should be beaten with lifeboat paddles
@BrentSullivan we know there will be death. Sorry to say the hyper consumerism/consumption under this capitalistic slavery is the problem with the billionaires too. I don't want to argue this but capitalism is the problem.
It's killing the planet
Long term we will not survive. We use 1.7 Earth's with of resources every year. But we have 80%of the tech to mitigate a lot. So I don't adopt a defeatist attitudes.
Billionaires and capitalism is the problem.
However
Next
@BrentSullivan not all will die. The earth can support 600 to 800 million people without fossil fuels.
@BrentSullivan @ucantstop_me This also is what I have been screaming into the void. This is a plan, not happenstance.
@phac3ti0us @BrentSullivan it's not too late. This is part of the problem. People give up
@ucantstop_me @phac3ti0us
Suggest a viable strategy please
I've been in the fight for quite a while. I no longer see a path
Most people don't know we've already gone past 2. The metric is 2 for a decade, so we won't admit to 2 for another 9 years.
@ucantstop_me @phac3ti0us
It is too late without fundamental change in how the whole damn world works
That I clearly see we have no chance doesn't mean I quit
There's a windmill or two in need of well placed lances. I can take pride in the action while letting go of the outcome. It's the only way I know to remain same
@BrentSullivan I'm not talking about windmills. I'm talking about losing the microbes that are required for everything in our ecosystem to work. @phac3ti0us
@ucantstop_me please share what you learn and links.
@CanisPundit I will. We record our sessions (seems like many are too shy to join lol) so I post likes of those too.
Its important the right messaging gets out. The biggest problem when the publish there data, it's not comsumable/readable for most non science people. I working on that type of messaging
@ucantstop_me thank you. Messaging is where too many smart, well meaning people (Democrats I’m looking at you) undermine themselves. Just because they get it, and it is logical, science based, makes sense doesn’t mean the general population will understand. Covid communication for ex. Nearly 5 years later at I still see/hear opinions that are out of date (not including misinformation). Continued.
@ucantstop_me
That includes how virulence and morbidity change with mutations, expectations for vaccine protection, mitigation for contracting or spreading Covid, mild or no symptoms can be clinically significant later, and so on.
Of course having the Trumpian minimization and spreading of malformation and misinformation echos still.
The quality of communication shapes outcomes.
@ucantstop_me thank you for the Good work. They are right. Until you hit them in the pocket book it means nothing to them. 💚 @CanisPundit
@ucantstop_me Yep. A lot of us have been screaming this for years. People don't want to be inconvenenced. Wait till they find out what inconvenience really is.
@ucantstop_me Does the COP 29 and Earth shot campaigns fill your contacts with hope, grief or something else ?
@Mauve_matelot cop 29 is useless. It's a fucking joke. All oil billionaires ate there.
@ucantstop_me @Mauve_matelot and no one from a polluting country. They're openly making oil deals.
^^ at some point the only industries on this planet will be converted to climaye tech mitigating climate death. 💯
3.1c = 100 miles either side of equator that will be be un-survivable. This will displace, force to migrate, or death of 3 billion people (mostly in asia)
Oh. Also no shipping between north and south hemisphere. Maybe subs might. But not surface ships.
My sources are straight from scientists who are also on the call. Today I'm certian people are going to be despondent today :(
