¯\_(ツ)_/¯: “That means no more mortgages, no new real estate development, no long-term investment, no financial stability. The financial sector as we know it ceases to function. And with it, capitalism as we know it ceases to be viable.”'

The Guardian · Climate crisis on track to destroy capitalism, warns top insurerBy Damian Carrington

#extinctionrebellion changed the game for the climate movement, both here in #Scotland and the world over. The energy, mass mobilisations, and sheer audacity of thousands of #climate activists captured the imagination of everyone and forced attention to the #climatecrisis

But the big wave from 2019 has crashed, the world has moved into darker times, and the climate movement is disoriented. What remains from #xr ?

Losing forest carbon stocks could put climate goals out of reach

“Delaying action leads to disproportionately higher costs,” explains Michael Windisch, the study’s lead author and PIK guest scientist. “Right now, our climate strategies bet on forests not only remaining intact, but even expanding,” Windisch says. “However, with escalating #wildfires like in #California, and continued #deforestation in the #Amazon, that’s a gamble. #ClimateChange itself puts forests’ immense carbon stores at risk.”

According to the study, postponing action to reduce #emissions and to protect and monitor #forests could jeopardise #climate targets. “We must act immediately to safeguard the carbon stored in forests,” Windisch emphasises. “Otherwise, compensating for potential forest carbon losses through steeper emissions cuts in key emission sectors like #energy, #industry and #transport will become increasingly expensive and possibly unattainable.”

My idea about how #trade agreements should be done by the #EU: All products imported into the EU should adhere to current and *future* EU regulations. EU regulations should enforce #workerrights, #animalrights, #climate change protection, #environmental responsibility, #consumer rights and more.
All who adhere to good practices should be welcome to sell without tariffs.
Now let the EU work on improving regulations that support public values for the planet and all its inhabitants.

“They fired everybody, there’s nobody left to do anything,” said Mark Wolfe, executive director of the National Energy Assistance Directors Association, which works with states to secure funding from the program. “Either this was incredibly sloppy, or they intend to kill the program altogether.”

#paganism regardless of tradition, is fundamentally an animist religion - that is, everything in creation has spirit. Including the Earth....and you! And you are apart of that spirit. But if you defile that spirit, the spirit will fight back. If you hold the dollar more dear than a tree, the tree will fight back. The Earth doesn't care about your insurance premiums. It cares about sitting synergystically at balance with the rest of the Universe. #environment #climate theguardian.com/environment/20
