Yes, dangerous. If you haven’t already discovered Prof. Eliot Jacobson, can I introduce you to him, he provides easy to understand charts and graphs and near daily commentary on global heating, ocean temperatures, polar ice melts, CO2 concentrationsšŸ‘‡ šŸ¤” bsky.app/profile/clim...

It’s not going to get better, it’s going to get a whole lot worse. If you can’t afford access to Oil and Gas, then Coal no matter how bad it quality will be the go to fossil to burnšŸ‘‡ youtube.com/shorts/lXuHY...

Wow! Those zany psychedelic video clips, it’s got a feeling of the 70’s, not sure about the Maga vs Science, but I did find thisšŸ‘‰ youtu.be/V83JR2IoI8k šŸ¤”

I’m not expecting a cataclysmic collapse Rainforest, just a steady move towards chaos and anarchy as human and eco systems breakdown. But if you’re looking for solace, then check out Nate Hagens ā€œThe Great Simplificationā€ one of its mission statements is ā€œBend not breakā€šŸ¤” youtu.be/vBEF8RM9mAQ?...

A Doomer that’s hard to engage in comments with hmmšŸ¤” Thomas Hobbes - Hell is the truth seen too lateā€.

Ah! a downward spiral into bestiality and the abyss. Thomas Hobbes - Hell is the truth seen too lateā€. This is the opening quote to Kurt Dahl’s ā€œAn American Famine - (subtitle) A Rosetta Stone for the coming collapseā€ A glimpse into the future, it’s a haunting story.

Rainforest you DM’d me ā€œWhy Well-Off Brits Who Think Collapse Is Coming Still Stay Silentā€, looking a little deeper it article comes across as a marketing recruitment article for Apocaloptomists. Rob Harrison-Plastow aka (pen name) Woodford Roberts ??? www.linkedin.com/posts/rob-ha... šŸ¤”

By the way Rainforest I’m okay. Water is another one of those tipping points in the unfolding poly and meta-crisis. There’s a recent book by Liam Fox ā€œThe Coming Storm - (subtitle) Why water will write the 21st Centuryā€, check it out. youtu.be/RUHTvHedraQ?... šŸ¤”

Admire your belief Robert. I’m by no means promoting FREE FINITE Flammable Fossils, but I’d have to ignore the facts on REbuildables, sorry, Renewables contribution, but in the endšŸ‘‡ REbuildables can power a great Civilisation, just not this onešŸ‘‡ www.artberman.com/blog/the-ene... šŸ‘‡

Globally only ~20% of energy is supplied in the form of electricity, and only ~2% of that is provided by REbuildables/Alternative Energy of which Nuclear Power is a fraction of that, leaving ~80% still reliant on FREE FINITE Flammable Fossilsā€¦šŸ‘‡šŸ¤” x.com/aeberman12/s...

ā€œand should be screamed from the rooftopsā€ That’s exactly what I wrote in one of my earlier posts Veg.

Robert if you meme pic reflects your age I’m assuming you’re over 40, in which case a heating planet, depleting energy resources, oil based plastic pollution and environmental degradation, may not be of concern to you. But it will be for a child born todayšŸ‘‡ medium.com/the-steady-d... šŸ¤”

It’s great to see you back Veg, after what has seemed an age, was missing your sarcasm, witticisms, satirical and political parody, along with your zany šŸ’„ šŸ‘‹ wallop🦯video visualsšŸ‘šŸ¤”

I’m sure you know this Robert, the blades are constructed from fibreglass, resin, and balsa wood. The fibreglass is fairly inert but epoxy resin and balsa wood are flammable. But I was to a degree being cynical thinking towards when Oil’s run out. But whatever they do present a pollution problemšŸ¤”
comment in response to post
Would those be underground mines, or open pit-mines ā€œRobertā€ because WT blades may become a source of energy in times to come, so best to keep them easily accessible, just in case. Meanwhile, don’t forget your medical checkups, you just don’t know what’s in dustšŸ¤” youtube.com/clip/UgkxAO-...

And to add to that not one single, that’s right not one single piece of REbuildable’s technology has been produced without FFFF’s, and there’s absolutely no sign that is going to changešŸ¤”
comment in response to post
Plus you’re fighting a loosing battle, there’s no appreciable sign that REbuildables have made any gains in stopping the burning of FREE FINITE Flammable Fossils (FFFF’s). Net Zero CO2 will not stop the planet continuing to heat, certainly within anyone alive todays lifetime.
comment in response to post
Recycling particularly when coupled with the word sustainable, is just Greenwashing, but then those with cognitive dissonance would not recognise that. We could argue ClimateHope about recycling WT blades untill the cows come home, but at the end of the day the environment is the looser.

In four words: Do not believe it. Dioxins can negatively impact the nervous system, for years they have been used in flame retardants, pillows and mattresses are sprayed/dipped in it. Then we lay and rest our heads on them, that’s how crazy we arešŸ¤”

ā€œBeauty is in the eye of the beholderā€ so very nice. If these be Turkey Tail mushrooms (Trametes versicolor) I’m told they’re edible, what say you ā€œlukelukelukeā€, and if edible are they best eaten raw or cookedšŸ¤”
