It should scare people more that so many scientists have basically started to say ‘our carbon sinks are sunk, so I don’t know what to tell you anymore.’ The majority certainly don’t hear it though.

Read that for the first time a couple months ago; it very much felt like where I’m at now with everything.
Me at 40: Hmm, looking back at the last 15 years of fisheries biology work, I can safely say that the net impact of that work was actually worse conditions for the planet than better. Well, at least I got to watch the head of my state agency give out ‘fish bumps’ to the other heads because we managed to increase the quota for the year! (I quit)
Right on, thanks for the input. That’s vaguely what I remember hearing about it years ago, which had me intrigued. Personally, I just don’t think I like the writing so far. But it seems to read fast so I guess I’ll probably keep going for now. Plenty of books I’ve felt this way about before at this point and been wrong, so we’ll see.
We’ll let’s put those kids to work!!
At this point I hope this is a simulation. Some kid in the oververse is getting bored with their game of EarthRealm and they are just throwing crap at the sim until it fully tanks.

Ok article overall, although the title should probably be more like ‘Here is why we will never degrowth.’ Although this paragraph really got my hackles up:
As a result, the first problem for the degrowthers is that voters in rich countries have experienced a form of degrowth since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 and they don’t seem to like it all that much
Being less well off because of corporate fuckery is not what degrowth is, if anything consumerism has massively increased even with less free income around.
I know for me personally, I don’t want anything printed out ever. It’s just waste, and if I see any flyer or those letters for example it just upsets me. I get the sentiment and maybe in years past, but outside of official communications from an agency don’t send me shit.
They should name the archiving ai Herodotus.. We really have entered the post truth era.
Wow, so I made it about a minute and a half in when the song switched to english ‘time to say goodbye’ lol, and that man is losing his mind.
You can do either. They’ve both been doing all mail in voting for twenty something years now with no issues. A USPS postal box was also recently burned with a few ballots in it in Arizona.
The problem is not with the drop sites but with the growing stochastic terrorism in this country.
