And he did it anyways. pic.twitter.com/6gnsEWs3Iu

Meanwhile, cyber disaster could be on the horizon. An article says: "The 2023 World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, has filled us with lots of uplifting predictions, like how companies will soon decode our brain waves." I read "decide our brain waves" and did not see what was so "uplifting." Decode, oh — uplifting, perhaps. "The latest warns of a global catastrophic cyber event in the very near future." — from an article by Good Housekeeping

New technology now available to scientists has demonstrated that if we don't immediately transform the economy away from growth (also known as 'doom-growth') we must expect the planet's species to suffer and die at catastrophic 2°C of global warming within one or a few decades.🧵

I am going to build a thread tonight on Erin's excellent thread from yesterday.
I invite all to read Erin's thread and her supporting documents. I will be addressing one of them later.

What matters for climate is ramping down fossil fuels.

germany's best-known climate activist has called for its transport minister to resign for having failed to cut greenhouse gas pollution in line with its climate law or come up with a credible action plan to meet the targets next time, as the law requires https://t.co/hqPKMJygav

I'll do a proper thread on it Tuesday morning Aus time but the idea here that the "responsible" thing to do is open up massive, multi-decadal new fossil fuel infrastructure is a type of collective madness that I'm struggling to properly describe https://t.co/Nc4qhRLJ8O

“Even well-informed progressives are more inclined to toil away at incrementalist politics-as-usual—or fantasize about far-off technological breakthroughs (nuclear fusion!)—than face up to the kind of radical ‘political commitment’ that’s necessary.” https://t.co/iyA1VazyuN

“To call 1.5˚C or 2˚C ‘feasible’ in the face of these realities is simply magical thinking.”
