2 ecologically disastrous modern practices:

1. #fossilFuels
2. #cattle #farming

(also palm oil plantations, overfishing, etc, but let's focus on these 2)

i think it's hilarious that the #trump regime is speedrunning actions in the world that are encouraging us to switch to #greenEnergy, and away from eating #beef

fossil fuels: obviously the stupid war on #iran

beef industry: getting absolutely destroyed by trump's neglect of #farmers and #ranchers, and sabotage of the american #economy

The world has to transition to #GreenEnergy and it is transitioning to Green #Energy (too slowly)

But

This is something different

Sudden major supply disruptions are not easily handled

This is an "oh shit" moment

And it's not just about #Europe

And it's a one-off

Between false alarmism and false complacency lies reality. I don't want to be either but this is concerning

Yup, it's effective sleight of hand in cornering root infrastructure, that includes energy. Look at the food industry and how only 3 suppliers now dominate that sector. Fossil fuels obviously rules air, and minerals are now being contested worldwide, all the while squeezing the 99% more into extinction.

- Remove #TechBros and #FossilFuels #Oligarchy from power

Dow will sell you 10% biodegradable plastics, claiming 90%.

Yay petrochemicals and #FossilFuels #Oligarchy!

Consider the irony: #TechBros and #FossilFuels #oligarchy have enriched themselves, at the expense of the 99%, from 1% wealthiest, to .01%, in record time.

Now we're being squeezed into the equally small value space, but with DIRECT OPPOSITE effects.

This is where the Law of Inverse Proportions, goes Big CRUNCH at the human scale.

Everywhere should be doing this. Everywhere should be rapidly increasing the taxes on #FossilFuels. We really have no time left.

Needless to say, the UK is doing neither.

You Europeans are always complaining about #Europe. And I'm not saying Europe is perfect and deserves no criticism, but as an American I am often envious of your set of problems versus our set of problems. So some of you may roll your eyes at news like this but for me it is amazing and a glorious revelation

Secondary to politicians writing policy for #TechBros and #FossilFuels #grift #AbuseOfPower

Replace them with ethical #scientists

Typical abusive #Capitalism, in skewing profits toward the wealthiest.

Worse than Communism, at its opposite.

Replace #FossilFuels #TechBros #Broligarchy with #RootInfrastructure #scientists

AP: Trump administration cancels rule that made conservation a ‘use’ of public lands

"...The federal government’s vast land holdings are concentrated in Western states including Alaska, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. Since taking office, Trump has pursued a flurry of actions aimed at boosting fossil fuel production from those taxpayer-owned sites. The Republican administration also has sought to sideline some renewable energy projects, claiming they were unfairly subsidized under Biden...."

Kind of a backwards roundabout reason for hope? Sort of? In the long run? Maybe?

At the very least, a thoughtful essay that combines two of my favorite writers. #iranwar #fossilfuels @pluralistic

If somebody hasn't done so already, I think Solnit's article (referenced in Cory's blog/post) is worth surfacing:

Dear #Fediverse

I've been considering writing a post about these very topics, but
@pluralistic explains the future of #fossilfuels and #renewables far better than I ever could.

Welcome to the #Gretacene

It helps to take a deep dive into Divide and Conquer Strategy: the aim is to destabilize root infrastructure, to the point of sole dependence on a singular 'salvation' point - oftentimes steeped in mystical ignorance, like a religious, arrogant zealot, preaching monotheistic investment into utter collapse.

The 'Third Reich' was a similar cult, that the ignorant, desperate masses - innocent or otherwise - eventually caved into.

At root; the #TechBros and #FossilFuels industries, are the puppetmasters today. They must be replaced by ethical root infrastructure scientists, or with the acceleration of the #ClimateCrisis, we'll be facing one of the greatest collapses in history.

Please place ultimate responsibility on the roots: #FossilFuels leaders, who buy-off politicians, religious leaders, and royal families, in oppressing the people.

Until a #TippingPoint of concentrated momentum is accurately heaped upon those most guilty, the weight will continue to cause more and more pain and suffering, for those least culpable.
