The Invisible Doctrine does a good job of explaining how capitalism happened and where we are today. Fairly depressing but informative.

Climate@slrpnk.net•France temporarily shuts down three nuclear reactors over heatwave4·5 days agoWe have a large number of rooftop solar systems in Australia (as well as batteries) and they provide a large part of the daily need. The batteries have reduced the evening peak as well. As it is all getting cheaper, it makes senese.

Climate@slrpnk.net•France temporarily shuts down three nuclear reactors over heatwave13·6 days agoSolar panels would help with the peaks. They don’t need to replace the nuclear plants but deal with air conditioning.

Climate@slrpnk.net•France temporarily shuts down three nuclear reactors over heatwave3·6 days agoIt was semi serious comment based on the Australian rooftop and utility solar. One the impacts is abundant power for air conditioning during summer.

Well the man with background should know a scam but could you trust him to identify one?

Climate@slrpnk.net•‘A sad inevitability’: after decades of climate warnings, why is Europe so unprepared for rising heat?6·20 days agoI’m almost at the stage of being really interested in how fast the changes will happen. I wasn’t expecting to see so much change over the last 20 years and the next 10 look to be turbocharging.
That said, I really worry about the world my grandkids are going to inherit.

Climate@slrpnk.net•European heatwave is worst ever and impossible without climate crisis, scientists say | Study also finds high humidity means people in hundreds of cities are enduring their worst ever heat stress3·23 days agoAdhesive hooks may not hold in the heat. I’ve had that problem in the north of Australia.

Climate@slrpnk.net•European heatwave is worst ever and impossible without climate crisis, scientists say | Study also finds high humidity means people in hundreds of cities are enduring their worst ever heat stress9·23 days agoThe big problem is that we are still adding fuel to the fire without caring that the effects are lagging. What we do today will be rolling on to us in the near future but not today. If we reduce emissions today, it’s going to be some time in the future before things moderate a bit.
Journs studiously avoid talking about climate change, if they do they use weasel word like scientists think or some scientists say rather than just state it as fact, “human caused climate change is”.

Climate@slrpnk.net•Why are so many Democrats going quiet on climate change: The common wisdom says it's a losing issue. Evidence suggests it actually helps Democrats.0·1 month agoThere is a line of thought that politicians are smart and know what is what. When you listen to them you realise that may be less than average intelligence.

Still there is endless use of fossil fuels driving even more extreme climate events. Billionaires would have to be among the most destructive people that exist.
