I'm still not seeing Markdon support in posts, it disappeared a couple releases ago?

@jackofalltrades
Which is why it all comes back to voters (at least in democracies).

Nothing can change until they do, if any Government states it needs to crash the economy (I'd like to see it done with some equity in mind, taking from the rich and the lives of the poor improved with great social outcomes like public transport) to reduce emissions, they'd never be relected, let alone struggle to get any legislation passed.

People who blame polticans are looking to deflect blame from the real culprits. We entitled, apathetic self aborbed voter who elect entitled, self absorbed polticans and we so lack the imagination to grok what's happening what will happen.

The not unforseeable outcomes of carbon offsetting working a charm.

>"carbon emissions from forest fires need to be included in national climate plans with a monitoring, reporting and verification system for such emissions."

We don't count a countries military, international shipping or aircraft flights, so those emsisons don't exist...apparently. I can see countires like Australia, Brazil, Russia, Indonesia and Canada objecting to including fire emisisons :) just as the US, Canada, Russia etal would object to permafrost emisisons.

We're good at self deception.

Agreed and here's the cliff of emissions reductions.

@peterdutoit

Richest 1% account for more carbon emissions than poorest 66%

And we let them, with how we keep voting for the orthodoxy ...stop that, please ... For the sake of the rest of us!!!! Nothing will change if voters keep doing the same thing.

>All civilizations come to an end at some point

There are examples of ones that have last looong times eg the Australian Aborigines, some 60,000 years, the Khalari Bushmen, 100,000 years. They collapsed not from fighting mother nature like we are, or like the Khmer Empire did from weather changes but from the intervention of other more greedy men. They were so much more resilient then any other civilisation.

We learned nothing from these amazing civilisations.

What's unique about them is inequality, it held primancy at all times, everyone was equal. Agriculture took that away (need to "own" land, protect it from others etc, inequality starts with private property ownership ) and was the beginning of the end of us some 6000 years ago, we're just now reaching the final stages.

Christopher Ryan's book "Civilized to Death" covers some of this.

> the kids have already been driven around to their hobbies, and their homework was finished by their tutors.

I'd wonder why they bothered to have children if they dont want to spend time with them?

An example, the kids need to be chaffured around to hobbies because they can no longer ride their bike because there are too many people on the road driving kids around to hobbies because of really, really, badly designed cities.

What you describe would be hell for me. I undeeatand for some it's aspirational but it would ensure the destruction of civilisation.

What recourse do FB, Apple etal have if they are subpoenaed a by Government ?
