A new study finds that climate change has already cut incomes in the US by around 12 per cent since 2000. The figure is a significant increase on previous estimates and a signal that the costs of global warming are not just future projections, but a present-day reality. #ClimateChange #politics #Economics

Is see Danish citizens online are now proposing to invade USA and MAAG. (Make America Actually Great)
Under occupation they would ensure Americans got.
Universal healthcare
Fairer wages + lower income inequality
Paid parental leave
Bike-friendly cities
Free college options
Fewer work hours
Reliable public transportation
Stronger social safety net

The difference between the Fediverse and Commercial Social Media.
One is designed to be addictive, contains harmful ingredients and gives an adrenaline hit. It's ingredients are a secret. It's a centralised product, made and controlled by one entity. It doesn't care for people or planet, just profits.
The other is home made tea.

I could also pick out some of the sensible things Bill Gates said in his speech but it doesn't make his overall point valid.
Climate Change is an Emergency that requires our immediate attention, AND this can and should be addressed at the same time we address poverty and inequality.
As the saying goes. "Climate Action without social justice is just gardening" It's a wrong/dangerous path to go down where we are told to choose between one or the other.

🌿 MOSS: The Tiny Climate Warrior We've Been Ignoring
WHAT SCIENCE SHOWS ABOUT THIS HUMBLE PLANT:
🌎 CARBON CAPTURE CHAMPION
- Absorbs 4X more CO₂ than trees by volume
- Captures pollutants from air and rainwater
- Continues photosynthesis when trees are dormant
- Creates own ecosystem in urban "dead spaces"
💧 WATER MANAGEMENT GENIUS
- Absorbs up to 20X its weight in water
- Prevents urban flooding during heavy rains
- Slowly releases moisture during dry periods
- Naturally filters contaminants from runoff
❄️ URBAN COOLING SYSTEM
- Creates natural air conditioning effect
- Reduces building surface temperatures by up to 15°F
- Thrives on vertical surfaces where trees can't grow
- Requires zero irrigation or maintenance
🏙️ CITIES ARE CATCHING ON
- Tokyo installing moss walls to combat urban heat
- Seattle encouraging moss growth on buildings
- European cities creating moss-covered bus stops
- Living moss installations purifying indoor air
While we spend billions on high-tech carbon capture,
this ancient plant has been perfecting the process
for 450 million years - for free.
Next time you see moss, don't scrub it away. You're looking at one of nature's most efficient climate solutions.

The recent fall in energy costs mean 24/365 energy, via solar and storage is economically feasible across all of USA. Throwing in some wind too will be important for resilience but Solar and Storage will now dominate.
What this means is Nuclear power plants would either need to be switched off for most of the year, providing energy only in winter, or they would be running all year in the background, pushing up electricity prices.
The impact of all this is energy companies will not build Nuclear because there is no profit to be made, it will only happen if the US Government pays to build the plants itself.

It's a double whammy for younger people because the Corporate Internet has killed off most genuine online communities and car dependency has killed off most real world communities. While online communities were never a replacement for real world communities, the fact that they barely exist online anymore, only highlights how private cars have killed off real world communities.
Our streets were once places where children played, where people bumped into each other, where people threw parties and traded with each other. Streets now are simply places for cars to be stored or for people to rush from one place to another in their metal boxes without ever meeting anyone.
We need to reclaim our streets, build more non commercial third places, get off Corporate Social Media and build real online communities again.

Commercial Media reflects the interests of its advertisers (corporations) and owners.

🚨 THE WORLD'S LARGEST DEFORESTATION PROJECT HAS BEGUN. Amid the paradise forests of #Papua, #Indonesia, a business consortium has started destroying what will eventually be 20,000 square kilometers slated for the "Meruake Intergrated Food and Energy Development Area." That’s 112 times the size of Washington, DC.
The company, PT Global Papua Abadi and partners like Sulaidy (linked to First Resources Ltd.) are destroying habitat for endangered tree kangaroos and birds of paradise. The land was allotted to the companies without seeming concern for the Indigenous communities who live on it.
The photo below is of the latest shipment of 264 excavators bought from China. It's part of a mind-boggling order of 2000 land-clearing machines. This is likely the largest single deforestation project in the world…and it makes no sense.
Although the stated rationale is that the project will provide climate resilience and food security, the reality is the opposite: this level of deforestation will pump about a billion tons of carbon pollution into the atmosphere and bulldoze local food gardens to make room for mono-culture sugar and rice plantations. Much of the sugar won't go to food, but rather ethanol to be burned in gas tanks. Simply put, it is a disaster.
It follows previous failed efforts to establish state-backed plantation agriculture: the "Mega-Rice Project" on Borneo's peatland rainforest resulted in hundreds of thousands of acres of degraded land…but no permanent rice (rice doesn't grow well on peat). This project seems likely to end in similar failure.
The tragedy is that this project would also single-handedly undermine Indonesia's greatest climate success: reducing the rate of commodity deforestation by an amazing 90%.
I hope that President Jokowi, incoming President Prabowo, and Minister of Environment and Forestry Siti Nurubaya will examine the project to see if the companies involved are actually delivering on its purposes – or are instead breaking the government's legal commitments.
There is reason for hope: the government recently took the brave step of stopping another company's threat to forests: Mayawana Persada’s destruction of more than 90,000 acres in Borneo. They acted acted because the destruction undermined the government’s nationally determined climate commitments (NDCs): to restore 2 million hectares of peatland and 12 million of degraded land.
The Merauke project is about 50 times as big as Mayawana Persada’s: It's hard to understand how it passes legal muster or contributes to the country’s admirable goals.
Indonesia’s forest success has been a signal accomplishment of the Jokowi administration – and an example for the world. As the administration comes to a close, the President and his successor have the opportunity to secure one of Indonesia’s greatest examples of international leadership into the future.
