Monsieur Delafin

This weekend we had a open, small & informal gathering with our local #XR group. There was an older gentleman there for the first time, who was obviously very torn about the state of the world.

He came to us out of hopelessness - he teared up when trying to express his desperation. But he was also still committed to one-issue campaigning.

He opened his introduction by stating that XR is, in his opinion, making things too political. We politely disagreed. (he talked about the importance of indigenous peoples, but balked at the suggestion that the Palestinians are also part of that struggle)

He'd have benefited from participating in collective action, but I think he wasn't at that point yet. He obviously left the meeting a bit disapointed by our insistence on broad political action.

#EV roll out in #Pakistan is accelerating so fast companies are clashing over distributing rights in the race to the market

profit.pakistantoday.com.pk/20

Most are #Chinese EVs, but theres a smattering of Korean & Japanese manufacturers collectively bringing tens of models to the country beginning this year

Coupled with the #Solar revolution, seems Pak might beat most of the G20 at green rollout this decade lol

This piece by Ernesto van Peborgh is more or less where I am at on all this - and all. One particular point I liked: he uses the term instead of , to capture that it’s all one big crisis. I agree, it’s better. Will use it too from now on

(And yes, it’s on Substack. I didn’t put it there. I am aware Substack is part of the problem. Feel free to just not open it).

Chris Packham's petition to ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship currently has 55,000 signatures. At 100,000 it gets a debate in the UK Parliament.

Please forward to all your UK media to help it over the line. Merely considering signing reduces the social licence to damage nature irrevocably!

Petitions - UK Government and ParliamentPetition: Ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorshipAdvertisements encourage the use of products and sponsorship promotes a positive reputation & creates a social licence of trust & acceptability. In 2003 a ban on all tobacco advertising was introduced and has arguably worked. I believe continued fossil fuel usage will kill more people than smoking.

Hedge funder and all-round delusionist, Scott Bessent, says falling oil prices are a sign that the Trump plan is going well 🤦‍♂️

Economists – you know, those guys who externalise the cost of everything that matters 🤦‍♂️ – say that that’s usually a sign of impending recession 😬

But, given that we’ve been using oil at least half a million times quicker than it was laid down, what should the real price of oil be? 🤔

The transient fossil fuels spike set on a 16,000 year timeline, with human muscle and firewood before around 1750 and a big ol’ question mark in the space beyond the next century. The spike goes to a value of 1, representing the point in the not too distant future when we will have extracted the most it is possible to extract in a given year.

Watch Tom’s video for some very ungood inverse hockey sticks as well. The upward curves of graphs 2 and 3 directly above derive from fossil fuels. And what goes up – on a finite planet where some apes are using fossil fuels half a million times quicker than they were laid down – must come down https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAOSumYG08I

…The Big But finale:

5. A Happy Ending?
There once was a grown-up
who heard a tale that meant
they’d have to *change*
and did not say…
‘but’.

#climateDiary

The Big But is a short story by my friend Robert who is trying to reduce the size of your buts, and mine, by…

helping the inactive to become active, to speed up carbon drawdown.

If you think you can help, he’d love to hear from you at volunteers@seethroughnews.org

The Big But: a short story about self-delusion, from See Through Together. 1. Stories We all love tales. Good stories make us the hero. The best make us change. If a small child gets your tale and changes… you’ve spun one hell of a yarn. 2. Buts Good tales brook no buts. Bad tales beget buts. No buts from a small child? You’ve cracked it. 3. But-free stories Buts spoil the flow. Buts make you zig when you want to zag. Think of the buts, say them before the but-ers… Hey presto! Your tale is but-free. 4. But… But there’s a snag. If grown-ups don’t want to hear your tale they come up with buts. Grown-ups are good but-ers. Smart ones are the best. De-but your tales all you like, but grown-up but-ers will butt in. If they don’t want to change. 5. Happy ending? There once was a grown-up who heard a tale that meant they’d have to change and did not say… “but”.

Late #Spring in #Pakistan, & the government is already considering shutting schools for an early summer break due to the #heatwave.

Astonishing: the Gov is admitting temperature surges of 4-7C (7-13F) above the current heatwave are to occur in the coming few days.

This is what I kept warning! An avg rise of 1.5C means swings of 5-10C making that happen, and in heatwaves or cold snaps thats deadly!

@ProjectFearlessness #Pakistan replaced anywhere between 20-40% of its energy production with rooftop #solar in 2024 alone.

Its been so rapid, despite entrenched fossil lobbies, the Gov has had to cancel future coal and gas power projects, and renegotiate contracts with current ones to lower their prices or just shutter them

No amount of lobbying or narrative building can beat cold hard science and economics.

#Renewables are the future!

Gestern sind die Hitzeschutz - Außenjalousien angekommen. Diese werden noch diese Woche an den Dachfenstern montiert.

Versuche energisch, mich für die kommende Hitzewelle im Sommer vorzubereiten! Wien wird bald wieder zu einem heißen Pflaster. Wir erleben die Klimakrise ungebremst, daran kann eigentlich niemand mehr zweifeln.
