The graph shows that greenhouse gas emissions are rising (a trend). This trend also infers the general trends of human behaviors. #psychology

Therefore, it's rational to forecast that humanity, or business, politics, and lifestyles as usual, will not mitigate climate change (in general).

As #ClimateChange mitigates humanity, and more positive reinforcers come into effect, how long will mono-industrial consumerist societies be able to function?

During this period (present & future) of escalating climate change-related disruption, what forms of culture will emerge?

That makes sense. A €100 fine is not much of a deterrent if your a millionaire +

Greetings! I recently moved instance so here is a new #introduction

On Social media, I go under the pseudonym of “Empiricism”.

Empiricism aims (intention or agenda) are to promote (“toot”, “boost”, etc) accurate #science based information. The general theme of this account is related to promoting #sustainable development. #Sustainable development requires mitigating ecological degradation therefore also #ClimateChange (e.g., reducing greenhouse gas emissions).

This account will not “sugar-coat” the challenges that humanity will have to overcome if climate change is to be mitigated. For example, the general trend (historic, present & future) is that humanity is not mitigating #climate change (e.g., greenhouse gas emissions are rising), therefore, climate change is mitigating humanity (e.g., increases in the frequency & intensity of flooding, droughts, etc.)

Since no one can be informed of all the scientific literature, if a reader thinks that Empiricism makes a statement that is not backed up by the general scientific literature, please refer Empiricism to the relevant peer-reviewed science publication (e.g., paper or website)

Living for life is living for everything :)

What is the best #mastodon #instance for scientifically literal people who are also #climate activists? People that are aware that the climate crisis is happening, #PolyCrisis location dependent, and care enough to be motivated to speak out against the business-as-usual craziness of societies.

A community of evidence-based thinkers (informed) that do not simply "cherry pick" whatever "science" aligns with their personal agendas - therefore do not habitually deny and are not ignorant about the science that they don't personally "like" (the idea of)

@climatenews

When climate change dramatically affects the rich countries' food supplies (as it will), then folk, in general, will demand more action from politicians (but generally, folk will carry on regardless with their climate-changing lifestyles)

We could say that severe climate change is baked into the system (no pun intended)

Fake Plastic People News!

An elderly man from the Seaside town of Dystopiania has found some grains of sand amongst the plastic.

If plastic pollution isn't, for example, covering many folk's neatly lawn-mowed gardens, they won't complain about it.

Generally, many people want to sing kumbaya around a campfire whilst deluding themselves that the campfire's smoke emissions aren't toxic.

However, for those that are aware that the #ClimateCrisis is now inevitable (it is already happening - depending on location), The Post Carbon Institutes Crazy Town podcast is a more sane analysis of all things climate-related

Crazy Town: Episode 75. How to Lose Friends and Demoralize People: The #Science (sic!) of Near-Term #Extinction https://www.resilience.org/stories/2023-05-31/crazy-town-episode-75-near-term-extinction/.

The photograph is of some crazy-looking clever guy called Einstein, who apparently said "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".

Of course, within the context of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, most people (of the world) aren't expecting different results - they're simply either being forced (e.g., gotta pay the rent) or choosing to take part in work and recreational activities that are emitting greenhouse gas emissions.

One thing is for sure, #business as usual is friggin crazy considering the consequences.

@news

Please don't boost greenwash!

Question. Are the "enhanced" fertilizers made from fossil fuels? (it's what adverts ["news"] don't say that is often a "red flag" for greenwashing). Artificial fertilizers are not healthy for the environment.

Also, Tractors burn fossil fuels.
The photo shows mono-industrial farming methods that will never be sustainable (they're the problem - not any part of the solution).

#AgroEcology is how to grow #food sustainably whilst also restoring #soil health (fertility) - so that virtually zero natural (non-artificial) fertilizers are required to be added to the soil .https://www.agroecologyfund.org/what-is-agroecology
