WTF with your ‘green’?!

“WTF with your ‘green’?!“, asks #CollapseCat. ‘Green’ energy – new science shows over 4600 species at risk of extinction: “The biggest risk to species comes from mining for materials fundamental to our transition to clean energy, such as lithium and cobalt—both essential components of solar panels, wind turbines and electric cars.” #TalkCollapse New science: https://phys.org/news/2024-07-demand-metals-minerals-energy-transition.html

New planetary boundary – and it’s not looking good

A new planetary boundary has been identified and it’s not looking good: “Oxygen concentrations in our planet’s waters are decreasing rapidly and dramatically—from ponds to the ocean. The progressive loss of oxygen threatens not only ecosystems, but also the livelihoods of large sectors of society and the entire planet… For example, the midwaters off CentralContinue reading “New planetary boundary – and it’s not looking good”
