#ClimateCatastrophe

[pennsyltuckyheathen]

An article from 2007 which gives an overview of the devastation and horror we’ll face if we don’t stop using fossil fuels.  

Where no refuge is available, civil war and a collapse into racial or communal conflict seems the likely outcome. Isolated survivalism, however, may be as impracticable as dialling for room service. How many of us could really trap or kill enough game to feed a family? Even if large numbers of people did successfully manage to fan out into the countryside, wildlife populations would quickly dwindle under the pressure. Supporting a hunter-gatherer lifestyle takes 10 to 100 times the land per person that a settled agricultural community needs. A large-scale resort to survivalism would turn into a further disaster for biodiversity as hungry humans killed and ate anything that moved. Including, perhaps, each other. Invaders do not take kindly to residents denying them food. History suggests that if a stockpile is discovered, the householder and his family may be tortured and killed. Look for comparison to the experience of present-day Somalia, Sudan or Burundi, where conflicts over scarce land and food are at the root of lingering tribal wars and state collapse.

The Statue of Liberty in New York will be gone and so will the city.  

Cities and towns around the world will be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels and mega-storms.  Saltwater will penetrate deeply into continents destroying the few fresh water supplies remaining.  Heat domes will linger for months with countless thousands killed by the intense heat, torrential rivers of precipitation will create flooding so severe it will erase the places and the people who live there, and billions will die from starvation.  

Greed, selfishness and the reckless pursuit of profits over people is killing planet Earth and all of us along with it.

Support Solarpunk Community!

Heyo followers and friends and solarpunks, here’s your reminder for the day that we have a Patreon and we need support! This podcast is run by two people who are actively trying to figure out the very technology that we’re trying to use to broadcast solarpunk content out to the world, and that means we’re pretty busy and paying for this out of our own pockets. We are currently able to cover our hosting fee, but we aren’t able to like, actually properly compensate ourselves or pay for better equipment yet. It’s a goal we’re working on. So if you like what we do, or you want some of that sweet sweet bonus content and early access to episodes, or just want to support solarpunk work in the present, please support us financially through Patreon (starting as low as $3 a month) or make a one-time donation through PayPal. If you’re hard up for cash, but still would like to support us and solarpunk in general but just can’t financially right now, it would still go a long way if you could take a moment to write us a review on your podcatcher of choice, or subscribe to our YouTube channel and leave us a comment on your favourite video. Sometimes we feel like we’re shouting into the void, and as writers we do thrive on feedback. If you really liked a certain episode, please share it with someone you know who you think would like it!

As I’ve said before, it's rough out there for anyone valuing the environment, social justice, compassion, and more, and we want to keep doing our part to keep hope alive. We want to broaden the imagination of what it's possible to do to contribute to a better world, no matter who you are, where you live, or what life stage you're at.

Prof. Guido Kühn: "Die Mikropartei FDP hat es dank ihrer grotesken Bedeutungs-Überhöhung durch Regierungsbeteiligung geschafft, dass Deutschland bei der Klimapolitik als einer der wichtigsten globalen Bremser wahrgenommen wird und nun sogar offen internationale Abkommen torpedieren darf." #climatecatastrophe #klimakatastrophe #fckfdp #mastoquotes https://www.instagram.com/p/CpsBmRMtlRC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is the time of the year when everyone becomes an expert on climate, and realizes how much additional emissions are released because of the Conference of Parties (COP)! #climateaction #ClimateCatastrophe #COP29Baku

"I always feared that the AI data center boom was likely going to make the looming #climatecatastrophe inevitable, but there was something about seeing it all presented on a platter with a smile and an excited presentation that struck me as more than just tone-deaf.

It was damn near revolting. I think the worst part of Huang's keynote wasn't that none of this mattered, it's that I don't think anyone in Huang's position is really thinking about any of this at all. I hope they're not, which at least means it's possible they can be convinced to change course. The alternative is that they do not care, which is a far darker problem for the world."

Those saying oil age should end are dreaming. There are better ways to combat climate change.

#climateemergency: this is not a hypothetical future. This is reality right now. 40 degree summers in the uk. Wildfires across Europe. Animal habitats and people's homes destroyed. This is what #climatechange looks like in real life. This is what #extremeweather is. We need strong and immediate action, not empty promises, blame, and passing the responsibility to the "next government" or the "next generation". #climatechange #londonsburning #londonheatwave #climatechangeisreal #climatecrisis #climatecatastrophe #londonfires #heatwave #heatwave2022 Get to it @fiannafail @finegael @conservatives @uklabour (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgNLdSHsEgZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#PiazzaSanMarco ha visto inondare questo male solo 6 volte negli ultimi 1200 anni, 3 dei quali sono stati negli ultimi 20. Il mio cuore è con tutti coloro che sono colpiti da questa crisi ... Proprio come gli incendi che colpiscono la mia Patria, questo è #IlNuovoNormale. La #CatastrofeClimatica non può essere evitata, sfuggita o negata per molto più tempo. Ma per favore dimmi come il consenso scientifico è sbagliato. Arriva in un posto vicino a te ... #NienteDaVedereQui. ... #SanMarcos Square in #Venice has only seen flooding this bad 6 times in the last 1200 years, 3 of which have been in the last 20. My heart is with all those affected by this crisis... Much like the fires affecting my Homeland, this is #TheNewNormal. #ClimateCatastrophe cannot be avoided, escaped or denied for much longer. But please tell me how scientific consensus is wrong. Coming To a place near you... #NothingToSeeHere.
