#Climate workarounds?

#Stellantis to buy “credits”from a #Tesla “pool”to meet #EuropeanUnion's #CO2 reduction requirements, despite Brussels giving carmakers 3 yrs to comply, the group's Europe head said on Sat.

Carmakers facing tougher #EU emissions rules this year agreed to pool their #emissions & avoid hefty fines by having firms w/lower electric vehicle (EV) sales buy #carbon credits from segment leaders including Tesla & Polestar.

Scientists have discovered that world wide reserves of water in soil are declining at a rapid rate, putting agriculture at dire risk. The earth's rotation has developed a wobble due to imbalance in water distribution.

phys.orgEarth's storage of water in soil, lakes and rivers is dwindling. And it's especially bad for farmingUniversity of Melbourne hydrology professor Dongryeol Ryu and his collaborator Ki-Weon Seo were on a train to visit Ryu's family when they found something startling. Stopped at a station for technical issues, Seo had pulled out his computer to pass the time with some work when a result popped up in their data that Ryu could hardly believe: It suggested a "remarkable" amount of Earth's water stored on land had been depleted.

I'm constantly surprised, that the wealthy would rather ignore the climate crisis and prepare to live in a bunker with dvds and baked beans than devote a modicum of their bottomless wealth to saving the planet where we have fresh fruit and soft grass and blue skies.

PS : If you survive the oncoming disaster, do something about them if you find any of them alive.

Assuming our rulers stay on their present course, following the mantra of economic growth at any cost, then all the climate and environmental crises we're experiencing today will continue to worsen with increasingly disastrous results.

What will their response be to this?

Certainly not to end capitalism or even slow things down. That would be unthinkable!

Instead they will almost certainly opt for geoengineering at some point, using technology to alter Earth’s ecosphere in an attempt to allay the damage caused by technology altering Earth’s ecosphere.

That’s senseless and stupid. But that’s what they’ll do.

It may turn out, unfortunately, that some form of geoengineering will in fact be a necessity if we are to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of global heating.

But — and this is a very big but — that prospect should NOT be used as an excuse to continue with Business As Usual. It should not be seen as a way to prolong capitalism’s reign over us.

We need #Degrowth now.

'Higher temperatures amplified by human-caused climate change contributed to the existing seasonally dry conditions, "turning dry landscapes into dangerous fire fuel" in the region, the Climate Central group, an independent body made up of scientists and researchers, said in a report.'
