Oh, I see the government has an "AI plan". Not a single mention of its carbon footprint. This government really doesn't understand that the number one threat we face is not from rogue AI, from economic slowdown, or from Russia, it's from climate collapse. What is wrong with these people? https://www.gov.uk/government/news/chancellor-unveils-britains-ambitious-plan-for-ai #UKPolitics #AI #ClimateCollapse #ClimateEmergency #ClimateChange

@youranoncentral.bsky.social things #boomers say. Unfortunately, they are still making the decisions. The rest of us are left with the mess and will have to find a way to survive the #climatecollapse we are left with.

Good article about the Peoples Emergency Briefing. Have you seen it yet? If not, you should. And even better if you take friends or relatives with you who may not yet have realised just how serious the threat of climate change is. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/25/friday-briefing-how-a-grassroots-film-is-turning-climate-anxiety-into-action #PeoplesEmergencyBriefing #ClimateChange #ClimateCollapse #ClimateEmergency

When asked about the connection between the climate induced flood in Nepal and the government approving expansion of 33 coal mines and opening a new gas field in the Northern Territory on the day the UN said 1.5 was dead, Penny Wong in the senate yesterday replied to Larissa Waters "don't play politics" with those deaths and flood victims. Nah don't play politics, ensure it happens again- and worse- huh Penny? #climate #ClimateCollapse #environment #auspol

Nvidia are going to spend $500 billion on increasing their carbon footprint. For context, the UN have estimated that it would cost $93 billion per year to end world hunger. Anyway, hope you're all enjoying the heat wave. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c78gr0jv0mdo #NVidia #ClimateCollapse #ClimateChange #ClimateCatastrophe #ClimateEmergency

"If you’ve ever questioned whether your work aligns with your values, these former Antarctic tour guides offer a thoughtful perspective on balancing career, wellbeing, and environmental responsibility.

”…we’re going into a period of history where unless we do something fundamental with ourselves and our society, we all plunge into the greatest spasm of horror the human race has ever experienced. …the only way we’re going to avoid it is by facing it… And this is difficult, to put it mildly, but it’s not impossible.” —Roger Hallam | The Chris Hedges Report #climatechange #climatecrisis #climatecollapse

”…the question isn’t what are we going to do. …the key question is how are you going to live your life? … It’s only like humanist arrogance that thinks we control this world. We most certainly do not control this world, which isn’t to say we shouldn’t give up a good life. But the reason we live a good life is because we believe in the good. And if you don’t believe in the good, you get mentally ill.” —Roger Hallam #climatechange #climatecrisis #climatecollapse #life

The sell-off of the public pensions is underway and none of it is to benefit the ordinary Canadian. The pace of this plunder and theft under Carney is astounding - hollowing out any chance to direct funds to climate adaptation since stopping the collapse is now impossible. Adaptation means helping ordinary people cope with the changes - boosting fire fighting, providing clean air treatment for all, enforcing labour protection protocols for exposed workers, training for and providing many rapid-response units to go to wildfires, flooding, ice storms, snow events... #ClimateCollapse #CanPoli

The case for reclaiming Canada’s pension trillions

A future where Canadian workers can safely retire needs investment. Our pension funds are well positioned to provide that, but it requires a much more fundamental transformation than Carney is willing to impose: we need to wrest control of these funds from the financial elite and direct them toward building our collective future.
