Why are fossil fuel companies allowed to profit at all?
Why aren’t they being forced to pump their $2,500,000,000 DAILY PROFITS into rapid decarbonization?
Why aren’t all those who subverted the truth about this genocidal industry for 40 years in prison?
Genuine questions.

Do those attacking 'degrowth' realise just how many species will become extinct or critically endangered by 2050-2150 without economic system change?

Most people aren’t talking or thinking about this.
But before you know it, this will be all anyone is talking or thinking about.

Elon Musk is a trillionaire on an overheating planet with a civilisation that is heading towards collapse.
The biggest problem we have is a mass cultural mental and spiritual illness.

The world’s most successful electric car salesman is also a trillionaire white supremacist.
Degrowth isn’t just about bringing down carbon emissions.
It’s about stopping the terminal rot of neoliberal capitalism & lighting a path to that equitable future.
Degrowth is dumb.
We can have an abundant and equitable future by (largely) replacing digging fossil fuels out of the ground and burning them with clean energy technologies like solar, wind, geothermal, nuclear, etc.

There’s this fella who’s just become a trillionaire, yet politicians are cheered on as they hover over the poorest & most desperate in our society like fucking vultures.
Neoliberal capitalism is a disease of the brain.

This is really good from @GreenRupertRead
But it’s perverse that the media is still framing our slide toward catastrophe as, “What do you want your taxes spent on?” in the same moment the world’s most powerful white supremacist becomes a trillionaire.

I don’t visit this place as often as I used to, but when I do, I see ever more science pointing towards imminent climate & ecological collapse alongside ever more bile & soulless distraction pointing to an imminent collapse of our collective mental health.
I’m not optimistic.

Owen Jones: Racists now think they're legitimate.
Because Farage gave them a script. Tommy gave them a signal. Musk gave them a platform.
Now Belfast burns. And they're acting surprised.
Don't be. 🎯🔥

Our 2026 Indicators of Global Climate Change paper is out! We find that the human-induced warming was 1.37C in 2025, and the current rate of warming is 0.27C per decade, on track to firmly pass 1.5C in about four years.

"There is nothing more serious than whether we are going to be able to feed ourselves."

Insurance industry collapse.

Elon Musk can say what he likes about me but I won't stay silent whilst foreign tech billionaires, money earned off the backs of real workers, try to interfere in our democracy, incite violence in our communities and tear apart our country.
Time for him to pipe down.

This is the kind of thing that was said about the Jews in the 1930s.
It is not hyperbolic to say that degrading an entire culture leads us to a very dark place. Reform are playing with fire right now trying to stop themselves being outflanked by the extremists of Restore.

Sure, let’s add AMOC collapse to the Trump-War fertiliser shortages & an unprecedented global-crop decimating El Niño.
Strap yourselves in.

This is extremely important. Later this year the world will suffer two simultaneous disasters: the collateral damage of Trump and Netanyahu’s stupid war, and the biggest El Niño ever.
I really don't think enough people fully comprehend the worlds that are about to collide here.
You already have people in geopolitical circles warning about the threat of famine based on surging prices / availability of fertilizer components, and you also have long-term weather modeling all converging on a worst case scenario for a building El Nino event, which will peak near the end of the year. These are two slow moving but entirely predictable disasters that when coupled together will each make the other orders of magnitude worse. (This will take months to fully unfold, but at this point, the die is cast.)
There's no event in our history books that combines the current global population with the impending fertilizer shortage and the strength of the El Nino that's coming. We are about to witness an unprecedented event that will push crops around the globe to their limit.
