1. Elites collapse because they have their politicians put the short term before the long term and then the long term catches up with them. That is why collapse always happens - and it's happening again now - for the last time. news.sky.com/story/sir-ed-da…

We can continue treating floods, droughts, extreme heat and land degradation as isolated disasters. Or we can recognise the pattern. A crisis that keeps repeating is no longer just a disaster. It is a warning about the system producing the vulnerability. The question we should be asking ourselves is whether we are willing to change the system. #ClimateActionNow

Climate change is not a left or right issue. It is not a rich or poor issue. It is not a North or South issue. It is a human survival issue. Only coordinated global leadership can match the scale of this crisis. The future of every child depends on what leaders decide

🥵 Juin et juillet ont été les mois de juin et juillet les plus chauds jamais enregistrés, mai et août ont été les 2e les plus chauds... et il en sera de même pour septembre ! Cet été hors norme n'en finit pas de jouer les prolongations, et un nouveau pic de #chaleur est même attendu de lundi à mercredi. On espère aussi le retour des pluies la semaine prochaine, mais selon toute vraisemblance dans des cumuls très limités sur une grande partie du pays...

My latest is out via Indigenous Insider. This is wild- as is Wild West Alberta. A court-appointed receiver says $11.5M from one First Nation’s trust helped pay what separatist leader Jeff Rath’s firm owed another First Nation. Then it turned into gold bullion. Now they can’t find the money. This is who’s leading Alberta toward the Oct. 19 vote to leave Canada. Meanwhile, separatists have been screaming for First Nations Chiefs to be audited… Read/Share: indigenousinsider.substack.c…

The folks who were seething at my conclusions on collapse in 2018 now welcome the same conclusions from intel services. Their deference to power could help explain such incoherence. Yet that could be part of why we got into this mess. Unseen, it will drive new mistakes.
The UK’s spy chiefs examined the impacts of the collapse of overseas ecosystems, under pressure of climate crisis and biodiversity loss, on UK’s national security. Their findings? “Apocalyptic.” UK defence and society at risk, impacts within 5 years. theguardian.com/environment/…

From plant leaves to oceans, nature's designs remind us of life's balance. But nature is in crisis. Biodiversity loss is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. One million animal & plant species are threatened with extinction. Take action #ForNature today & every day: unep.org/topics/nature-actio…

Not every day is a super-fun-happy-day. Likewise, not every day will set a new record for global surface temperature anomaly. September 23rd ranked second warmest for the day, at 1.62°C above the pre-industrial baseline. The same day in 2023 was 1.91°C above pre-industrial.
