Grand schemes, many backed by government, masquerade as taking action on the environment. They should be disowned, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Seems like we're doing the opposite with wider support by voters for the orthdoxy of destruction. Even then I remain sceptical.
Yeah, smart TV, never connect it to the 'net, get a used shield pro, ADB and side load F Launcher. No ads.

An example,
no alchol consumption is safe, so using your line of thinking you'd need to argue that anyone who partakes of alcohol at any anytime would fall under that line of thinking
Processed red meats simailary, especially those treated with nitrites, so those eating bacon, ham etc shouldn't be entitled to public heath care under your reasoning
Or are those things ok becase you do them ?
On the upside, now you've excluded 95% of the population, public healthcare will be cheap :)
Contra to most peoples thinking, if you're concerned about public healthcare costs, you should "encourage" obesiety and smoking, they all die early, most health care coats are associated with healthy people in their old age. See here

Adults are stupid and greedy, we all are.
New Australian Housing and Urban Institute research has found that about 70 per cent of households have reported building quality problems. It also found that most of Australia's existing housing stock was energy-inefficient and of poor quality.
>It found about 70 per cent of existing homes have building quality problems, while more than two-thirds of homes have an energy rating of three stars or lower.
>Australia really just doesn't have the policy instruments or policies in place that one might expect for building performance and housing quality and condition," Dr Daniel said.
>So all of these homes were almost effectively reducing their useful life, because it's almost as soon as they're built, they're not up to what we might consider a standard that's fit for purpose," she said.
>"In the future, we can imagine that people living in those homes are going to be much more exposed to fluctuations in energy prices because they're over-reliant on heating and cooling.
What a cluster fuck
This is the most depressing thread I've read for some time.
It's horrific to read some of the posts twisting bad news and making out as though it's good news. It's like the posters are watching children in a sandpit playing, ignoring the monster flood thats about to wash them away but taking joy in their play. Wtf?
Professor Boyd is right https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/07/un-expert-human-rights-climate-crisis-economy

And after reading this thread, i am even more sure Rees is
https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/06/14/opinion/science-civilization-collapse-environment-limits
Rees bluntly states, “the human enterprise is effectively subsuming the ecosphere” and “wide-spread societal collapse cannot be averted — collapse is not a problem to be solved, but rather the final stage of a cycle to be endured.”
You both use Signal, problem solved.
I've never even browed the local feed on the Masro server I'm on.

It's literally why it's there, they can now point to their work on the envronmwnt in a 30 second newsbite to appease the fluffy heads who vote for them. Similarly their emsisons policy.
I am all for banning pokies and casinos though, on balance, they add misery to the world.
If it was banned it would not stop gambling, just have to look to places like China, where offshore gambling is massive.

Southern Hemisphere is a big place, I'm at 10C here in Tasmania where I live , in the middle of the day, a long way from scorching.

Indeed looks good and while it's reasonable to experiment with different designs becase of changes in propulsion, most emotorbikes are wtf kinda weird is that.

>Over the past six months members have filmed themselves entering or attempting to enter court houses, police stations, local council chambers and commercial offices across the country.
>During these interactions, an NDA "sheriff" typically approaches a polite, but often confused, front desk worker to proclaim Australia is now a "demilitarised zone" and that all government authority has been dissolved before handing them a written notice.
>The notice warns "failure to be fully compliant" with NDA's rules "will certainly place you at severe risk of possible persecution, imprisonment or financial ruin".
>Over time, these interactions have become more confrontational.
>Video seen by ABC Investigations showed police forcefully ejecting members of the group from Gympie Court House in May.
What in tarnation?
Dying and starving native trees are becoming more common across South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania after months of little rain.
>Dr Moore said while Australian natives were resilient and well-adapted to harsh conditions, recent seasonal changes led to more dying out.
>"It's often becoming a bit warmer in these places," he said.
>"It's drier and when the rain falls, it's sometimes falling in the drier months, so that water evaporates as well.

The psychological and cultural aspects of systems change are commonly neglected — but they’re crucial to finding effective solutions to global crises.
>Understandably, material concerns dominate the policy conversation around sustainability and systemic transformation. Yet at the root level, our crises are created and perpetuated by factors in our psychology and meaning—making.
>From consumerist values to evolutionary impulses that skew our perceptions and political behaviours, these inner dynamics subtly dictate the course of our external world. It’s why Donella Meadows, the lead author of The Limits to Growth, saw this arena of “mindsets” as the “deepest leverage point for change.”

A few weeks ago, the Jones family was waking to icy cold winter mornings. Now, they're seeing how far their thumbs can take them on the journey from central Victoria to India.
>In an age where giving lifts to strangers is mostly advised against, this family sees it as their preferred option to get to India, for environmental and social reasons.
>Mr Jones and Ms Ulman do not own a car, have not been overseas in 20 years, and wanted to show their son the world, in the least polluting way possible.
