Looking at my paper straw, meanwhile

Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, 250 guests arriving on 90 different private jets at the wedding in Venice. Those jets from everywhere will unload a glittering cargo of stars, entrepreneurs, supermodels and influencers. Private air traffic will be so intense that it will require special coordination between Venice airport and the reserve stopovers in Verona and Treviso.

The temperature (mean high) anomaly with reference to the period 1991-2000 for Bragança, Pará, Brazil, generated from meteorological data of around 50 years from the nearby (15 km distant) Tracuateua station. We can see the global pattern mirrored in the local pattern. I will be showing my students how to create this kind of graph and the stripes graph too using R.

Gardening in a climate crisis: how to be a green thumb when old rules no longer apply https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/22/gardening-in-a-climate-crisis-how-to-be-a-green-thumb-when-old-rules-no-longer-apply #Climatecrisis #Australianews #Environment #Victoria #Gardens #Plants

One of the major reasons I write about capitalism, politics, and the ongoing installation of fascist police states across the big empire like I'm talking about an apocalyptic death cult is because if you spend any time at all diving into the data on climate catastrophe it becomes almost impossible to reach any other conclusion. We know without a shadow of a doubt that climate crisis is real, it's caused by capitalist extractivism and a Pig Empire economy that is inseparable from fossil fuels, and if we don't do something about it billions of people are going to die. Yet if we examine Pig Empire governments we find that they are literally doing precisely nothing about this at all, while hardening their borders, curtailing the civil rights of their own citizens, and rapidly expanding authoritarian police states. All the while a political class that has long since surrendered to billionaire nazis who're more or less in an anti-humanist cult and plan to run to Mars after they've devoured this planet like locusts, shifts ever rightward to facilitate the type of society where poor people die at bayonet point for the rich to extract even more wealth while the world, and its people, literally burn.

From my perspective? The conclusions one can draw from this are pretty obvious. The ruling classes in what some might call the West, have no intention of surrendering capitalism even if the planet turns to ash and billions of "useless eaters" die. And while that might sound like a very controversial take to you, the reality is that our in-pocket governments wholly owned by the billionaires who benefit from and have their wealth tied into extractivist capitalism, literally keep writing down their intentions to do so. Take for example a recent report that just four wealthy, primarily white, Pig Empire nations are responsible for nearly 70% of the *new* oil and gas projects our "leaders" have planned for the next decade.

https://www.commondreams.org/news/oil-change-report-planet-wreckers

'Planet Wreckers': 4 Rich Nations Plotting Nearly 70% of New Oil and Gas Over Next Decade

"Four wealthy nations—the United States, Canada, Norway, and Australia—account for the majority of planned oil and gas expansion over the next decade, according to new data published by Oil Change International on Monday, the first day of the Bonn Climate Change Conference in Germany.

Oil Change's analysis, titled Planet Wreckers, notes that if those four Global North nations stopped their planned new oil and gas extraction, 32 billion tons of carbon pollution would stay in the ground instead of being burned and released into the atmosphere, where they fuel planetary heating. That's the equivalent of three times the annual global emissions created by burning coal.

"A handful of the world's richest nations remain intent on leading us into disaster. This is not just hypocrisy. It is a death sentence for communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis," Oil Change International global policy lead Romain Ioualalen said in a statement Monday.

"It is sickening that countries with the highest incomes and outsized historical responsibility for causing the climate crisis are planning massive oil and gas expansion with no regard for the lives and livelihoods at stake," Ioualalen added."

So, let me be abundantly clear here: the number of new oil and gas projects anyone, anywhere, should be planning right now is precisely fucking zero and please spare me any garbage about "we have to drill more now, to drill less later" because it was bullshit when Joe Biden said it too. The scientific reality is that we have already dug up enough fossil fuels to turn the planet into an apocalyptic hellscape likely incapable of supporting human societies, multiple times over. Speaking on a species-level, humans cannot burn all the fossil fuels we've already booked and turned into vital planks of a globalized Pig Empire economy, without causing our own destruction; there are absolutely no good reasons to continue extracting *more* carbon-producing fuels out of the ground at all.

Therein of course lies the problem for the wealthy maggots who own everything in the Pig Empire; if we stop burning fossil fuels, the wealth and thus power tied in to all that (already booked) oil simply vanishes overnight. Fortunes would be lost, power centers fueled by obscene wealth would implode, and the people who own and control our society now, would lose their grip on the ability to dictate the future of humanity from their glass citadels in Western Europe and North America. And so it is that ceasing to dig up, burn, and base our entire economy on fossil fuel production and consumption that is actively going to murder billions of people has not been, and will never be, a serious consideration for the ruling elite in our society. They are, every day, and in so many ways beyond reports like this one, directly telling you they mean to murder you and yours, for the cult of capital.

@actually
But seriously, it’s not like there’s a catastrophic #ClimateCrisis pending & in progress, or war (possibly nuclear) in the Mideast, or a looming global financial recession, or immigration atrocities & pending fascism in the U.S., or death, destruction & child kidnappings in Ukraine, or worldwide sex trafficking & human rights abominations, or ongoing genocide in several countries.

The world's ocean is an excellent indicator of global temperature change because of its immense capacity to retain heat.
