Spent trillions of $ and wasted thousands of lives fighting wars in the middle east which neither bought democracy nor improved human rights. Obama boasts of his oil/gas production records. Biden built on that. China invested in minerals that help solar/wind/batteries.

And what were the US/EU doing? Instead of rail, bought SUVs which made the problem worse. Built larger homes which consume more energy. Traveled like maniacs. Invented ever more energy consuming sectors (crypto, genAI).
It’s “Zombie Fire” season again, with no real plan for #climateaction Alberta/Saskatchewan want unlimited expansion of oil and gas extraction with fast tracking for permits and slackening of environmental protections. We are in for a world of hurt. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68228943

"It's always easy to shrug things off by saying 'well that's just how things have always been' except, when it comes to our entirely human constructed global economic system it's categorically untrue. #Neoliberal Economics is relatively new & it has ABSOLUTELY NOT always been like this."
"Riddled with breakdowns:" Why intermittent coal is a major threat to grid reliability https://reneweconomy.com.au/riddled-with-breakdowns-why-intermittent-coal-is-a-major-threat-to-grid-reliability/
A new report has highlighted the shocking state of Australia’s ageing coal generation fleet, reporting that unplanned unit break-downs over summer occurred on 128 occasions – eight times more than anticipated by the #Australian #Energy Market Operator.
RenewEconomy · “Riddled with breakdowns:” Why intermittent coal is a major threat to grid reliabilityNew report says number of coal breakdowns over summer was far worse than expected, underlining case for intermittent coal to be replaced by variable renewables and storage.
"What history will call the Trump Crash of spring 2025 is the third such global economic crash in less than 20 years, something largely unprecedented in our history. This is not what a resilient system looks like and the outcomes of each crash reveals further weaknesses within that system."

"This is what saving ourselves looks like. A better world for all awaits your courage. Step up to the moment. Hit those streets. Join that protest. Get a seat at the table of a group of fellow change catalysts. Make new friends. I'll see you out there. We have nothing to lose & a world to save."
New CEF video: “Farming Food for Life” features Stephen Sherwood, a regenerative farmer and researcher in Ecuador’s Andes. We discuss how smallholder farmers can restore soil, draw down carbon, and build climate resilience, with practical lessons from decades of work. Watch the conversation and join us in rethinking food, farming, and climate action.

"How to harness this moment & global majority wanting impactful #ClimateAction, a fair shake & not to be just tools & playthings for the wealthy? I don't know the answer but every day more of us ask. That's a start. As are mass movements like #ElbowsUp in Canada & the #HandsOff protests in America."
“On April 9, 2025…Trump signed Executive Order 14270, blandly titled ‘Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting to Unleash American Energy.’ Behind that bureaucratic name is a sweeping directive: Dismantle a century of environmental protections” #ClimateAction https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/trump-extinction-order
Common Dreams · The Extinction Order: Trump’s Executive Order 14270 Doesn’t Deregulate; It Dismantles | Common DreamsHenry David Thoreau once wrote, “In wildness is the preservation of the world.” But wildness cannot survive without protection, and protection is what this order destroys.

I have for a while argued that a large enough country have self-interest in unilateral #climateaction, so appreciate to learn of this theory ->
"... at some point, the disintegration of essential public goods should lead those with the most power and resources to take responsibility for them—not because they feel some obligation to the collective, but because they will be willing to save the planet if this is what is required to take care of themselves.# dkgreen #dkpol https://www.break-down.org/post/the-heat-of-the-moment
www.break-down.orgThe Heat of the MomentIn place of paralysis or bland positivity, this is the moment for an honest reckoning with where we stand, what we are up against, and where, already, resistance is underway.

@Daojoan Thanks for that. I have experienced it a bit, as I got engaged in the climate action cause, but couldn’t find agency. So the cynicism creeped through now and then.
Now I work professionally with #climateaction, together with likeminded people, so the cynicism is much less now. #dkgreen
"So OF COURSE the exact same serially failing global economic system that repeatedly rewards the 1% for creating disasters & makes the 99% pay for them has been so useless at reducing emissions even as our cities begin burning around us due to #ClimateChange at larger costs than ever before."
