Humanity’s survival is still within our grasp – just. But only if we take these radical steps

The Guardian

Reduce emissions, build resilience, repair ecosystems, remove greenhouse gases: these are the four Rs that can save us. (...)

Yet despite mounting evidence and urgent pleas, meaningful action falters. Global prosperity has historically emerged from fossil fuels. But the stranglehold of fossil fuel giants, generously subsidised by governments and financially backed by banks, places short-term profits over the planet’s survival. This entrenched dependency stymies efforts to transition to a sustainable future, despite the urgent need for change. GDP growth remains sacred, while climate, biodiversity, health, and social equity are sacrificed, condemning future generations to inherit a ravaged planet. (...)

On our current path, civilisation as we know it will disappear. If we meet current commitments only – net zero by 2050 – perhaps some form of humanity will survive, managing the challenges of continued extreme weather events, ice loss, and sea-level and temperature rises. But we have agency to change this, and a thriving future is still on the table. To grasp it, we must embark on a radical journey encompassing an essential “4R planet” pathway.

This means: reducing emissions; removing the excess greenhouse gases (GHGs) already in the atmosphere; repairing ecosystems; and strengthening local and global resilience against inevitable climate impacts. (...)

_Meanwhile... I was not expecting this! But nice to see his focus on our planet: Robert Plant, of Led Zeppelin fame: _

"they are not going to stop."
"What can we do to stop it?"
"That boils down to a critical mass of awareness of the populations understand: they're fighting for their lives.

Football games, politics, electrical devices which many cant seem look up from... none of that will matter."

Good post on Mastodon where my reading of the vibe is, “people think Mastodon is too complicated”.
That’s additive to the other #social #media consolidation and weaponization/#disinformation fun.
Like #Twitter #X lawyers v #Meta, #MuskVirus vs. Zuck who Likes it - in a cage match.

Oh, I hear there’s a new Russian troll farm coming to an Internet near you!

But in the real world of man-made global disaster unfolding before our eyes, as other people “those people” issue ‘fake news’.

'It doesn’t seem real': Earth’s record-shattering heat stuns scientists

Just days after the "hottest day ever recorded," the major surge in temperatures "has unsettled even those scientists who have been tracking climate change," The New York Times reports. According to The Washington Post, "on Tuesday, the global...

Song for the day....

Insightful, funny, clever, and meant to warn.... way back when.
This song is ripe, from the wonderful Tom Lehrer:

## Pollution

~~

"Time was when an American about to go abroad would be warned by his friends or the guidebooks not to drink the water. But times have changed, and now a foreigner coming to this country might be offered the following advice:
If you visit American city,"

You will find it very pretty.
Just two things of which you must beware:
Don't drink the water and don't breathe the air!

Beyond just (North) America. Humans impacting the once-pristine and beautiful, sustainable world.

Paris police fire tear gas on climate protesters at TotalEnergies AGM

The French oil and gas giant was targeted by a coalition of associations threatening to block it, but also by some of its shareholders who disagree with its climate policy.
