Still ? I never have. I did have a twitter account but I only posted 3 times in 5 years, it wa for following clinate science experts. I left it altogether once there was enough of them on Mastodon. Reddit was about it, now ActiviyPub only.

Read this on Degrowth yesterday and have to agree… Get to his “workable solution” and it’s “thoughts and prayers” :) Just further confirmation that collapse is inevitable.

Or how do elders deal with what other citizens would take for granted in terms of mobility?

Currently they alll use little electric mobility scooters, in cycle lanes when available, bacause its too dangerous to be any where there are cars here in Australia.

How do those with epilepsy get around, they can’t drive at least they can’t here in Australia. One lady with epilepsy I knew rode a little electric scoot, she loved having her independence.

What happens to people when they loose thier license in the US ?

That’s sort of misleading though. They say they discarded the hot model runs becase paleoclimatology research tended to suggest suggest that couldn’t happen. Hausfather etal. Andrew Dressler was involved and had a response on Mastodon

However :) people like Professor Janson Box etal suggested it will happen way faster then most models predict.

The precautionary principal (because we have no planet B) should have us doing everything we can to get in front of this. Worst case scenario, rich asshole high emitters have to live like ordldinary folk more quickly. We can keep ignoring it until we collapse civilization like John Schellenhuber etal suggest, which does seem to be the option we’ve chosen.

I don’t think it matters either way, we ignore it because it’s inconvenient not becase we dont have the tech. We have long known how to ride a bicycle and stop flying for example… we just keep emitting, emissions increased again last year.

The US is fine with kids being shot in schools (by that I mean thy don’t do anything abiut it), I doubt they give a shit about car deaths. Hell, 50 infants are reversed over each week.
