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

This is #climatecollapse: "Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking." via Nahel Belgherze

But sure, Andy, let's drill for more oil. What's the worst that could happen? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cvgzd34kq5dt #ClimateCollapse #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCatastrophe #ClimateChange #WildFires #AndyBurnham

"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. Their stories may also inspire a deeper appreciation for protecting Antarctica by leaving it untouched." https://theconversation.com/i-cant-work-in-the-farce-of-climate-change-cruise-tourism-anymore-why-antarctic-guides-quit-their-dream-jobs-286216 #news #ClimateChange #ClimateCollapse #ClimateNews #antarctica

”…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

”…it’s not a hundred percent guaranteed that we’re going extinct, but we have to accept that’s now the main scenario… …this isn’t a wild card, it’s physics. It’s like you drop a ball and it drops to the ground, right? You put CO2 into the atmosphere, it warms up…” —Roger Hallam, Democracy Necessitates Resistance (w/ Roger Hallam) | The Chris Hedges Report #climatechange #climatecrisis #climatecollapse

”…no one can predict beforehand how it’s going to go, right? That’s the point. But what we can predict with absolute certainty is the centre will collapse. And it is collapsing. … So that’s the prospect in the next two decades.” —Roger Hallam, Democracy Necessitates Resistance (w/ Roger Hallam) | The Chris Hedges Report #climatechange #climatecollapse

”This is a unique moment in the human experience… The point here is that the whole way our civilization sees reality is intricately combined with why we’re going extinct.” —Roger Hallam, Democracy Necessitates Resistance (w/ Roger Hallam) | The Chris Hedges Report #climatecollapse

”We are living in an age of climate collapse, which will most likely result in mass displacement and death… And while that reality is hard to accept, it is an honest assessment of what lies ahead that must be addressed…” | The Chris Hedges Report https://chrishedges.substack.com/p/democracy-necessitates-resistance #climatechange #climatecollapse

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 https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/the-case-for-reclaiming-canadas-pension-trillions

RE: https://tldr.nettime.org/@tante/116918373916483342 “Something seems to be lost on my peers today: it’s still easy to not use AI. The food we eat, clothes we wear, and every electronic device we touch may embody innumerable injuries to the world, and all this is inescapable. Eschewing AI is one thing that we can actually do to live out ethics that affirm values of human and environmental rights. It’s almost a gift! Just use a computer the same way you did three years ago!” This. #Ethics #NoAI #AISlop #ClimateCollapse
