from now on i have a very simple way to deal with this:

#terfs
#vatnik
#antivaxxers
#misinformation
#antiscience
#nonsense

anything in the line of #berniebros #jimmydore #jillstein #jeffreysachs #natehagens #caitlynjohnstone #tulsigabbart #jembendell - tin foil hat #russian #lunatic #querfront type of shit - or even remotely adjacent to it

will be blocked on sight. it is the only reason i block people. but it will be terminal.

shame that you even have to say that on the #fediverse

Last weekend I watched this interview from #NateHagens to Jeremy Grantham about how extreme the situation of toxic contaminants is in our planet and we should be urgently forbidding toxic products youtu.be/ULn8I1b6vfw

Now, I just saw that Liberals in #Sweden want to forbid #Shein and #Temu because products they sell cause cancer and infertility (the environment minister literally says so in the interview). I didn't see this coming, but it is very good news.

I've just learned that Robert Ayres died this past October

Robert Ayres, known as "Bob” to his friends and colleagues, was a distinguished physicist and economist, whose pioneering research, unconventional thinking and passion for his work transformed our understanding of sustainability. Colleagues at IIASA remember him as the true innovator and scientist at heart. One of his most groundbreaking works was his research of industrial ecology or industrial metabolism — a concept he originated and pioneered within the scientific community, with his first publications on this subject dating back to the 1960s.

The work I most associate with Ayres is of the role of energy in economics. Ayres strongly influenced and worked with Steve Keen, who subsequently developed a revised model of the Cobb-Douglas production function incorporating energy as well as the traditional capital and labour, which accounts for virtually all of the so-called "Solow residual". I'd learnt of Ayres death through an interview with Keen with #NateHagens on the latter's #TheGreatSimplification podcast.

IIASA ConnectIn Memory of Robert Underwood Ayres (1932-2023) It is with profound sadness that we mourn the passing of Robert Underwood Ayres, who passed away on October 23, 2023, in France, at the age of 91. As we bid farewell to this visionary thinker, we would also like take time to honor his legacy on IIASA's research landscape, as well as spread awareness about his work among the colleagues.  Robert Ayres, known as "Bob” to his friends and colleagues, was a distinguished physicist and economist, whose pioneering research, unconventional thinking and passion for his work transformed our understanding of sustainability. Colleagues at IIASA remember him as the true innovator and scientist at heart. One of his most groundbreaking works was his research of industrial ecology or industrial metabolism — a concept he originated and pioneered within the scientific community, with his first publications on this subject dating back to the 1960s.   Trained as a physicist at the University of Chicago, University of Maryland, and King's College London (PhD in Mathematical Physics), Ayres dedicated his professional life to advancing the sustainability agenda, with his primary interests circling the aspects of technological change and environmental economics.  Throughout his career, Bob Ayres held positions at a number of renowned organizations, including the Hudson Institute, the International Research and Technology Corp, INSEAD, and IIASA. Inspired by the institute's work and mission, Bob continued visiting IIASA and the researchers that came after him, who still fondly remember sharing ideas and discussing their research over lunch. As part of his work at IIASA, Bob Ayres made invaluable contributions that continue to resonate within the institute to this day. His research challenged conventional economic theories, particularly with regard to growth. As Deputy Leader of the Technology-Economy-Society Program at IIASA, Bob Ayres significantly shaped the organization's research landscape and furthered his work in the late 1980s, when he directed a multi-year project on computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) within the institute. As an Institute Scholar, his presence was felt not only through his scientific work but also through his mentorship and inspiration to the wider IIASA community. He remained a life-long active researcher, having written and co-authored around 20 books, as well as edited or coedited over a dozen more. He also authored or co-authored over 200 journal articles and book chapters on subjects ranging from the environmental effects of nuclear war to theoretical economics. Bob Ayres' legacy at IIASA is characterized by intellectual rigor, dedication, and a lasting impact on the institute's research endeavors. While we mourn the passing of Bob Ayres, we celebrate his lasting impact on IIASA as an organization, as well as IIASA's mission to advance sustainability and environmental science. His legacy lives on in the countless individuals he inspired and the transformational ideas he introduced to the world. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all those whose lives were touched by his wisdom and dedication to the cause of working towards a sustainable planet.  A bibliography with links to many of Robert's papers and publications can be found here.

"Nuclear Is Not The Answer" by #ArtBerman

https://www.artberman.com/blog/nuclear-is-not-the-answer/

"Among the most frustrating parts of discussions about the human predicament is the widespread belief that nuclear energy is the answer. It’s not. If money were not a consideration—but it is—nuclear plants just can’t be built fast enough to make much of a difference."

Art includes a wider view than just greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide emissions. Examples:

"Carbon emissions and the overshooting of planetary boundaries are unlikely to decrease as long as energy consumption, world GDP and population continue to increase (Figure 7). The interrelationship of these factors with the degradation of Earth’s ecosystem means that there are no solutions without a structural change in all of these factors as a starting point. This implies that a civilizational paradigm shift is required."

"When I talk to people about energy, the environment and the human predicament, they want me to help them understand what society can do to solve the problems that I describe. They are often frustrated when I tell them that it’s not that simple. Focusing on one part of the predicament like emissions or nuclear power may feel satisfying but simply shifts most of the problem somewhere else."

This is a very important statement. I think our world is full of people trying to optimize a narrow problem, thus externalizing impacts elsewhere. This does not produce any global optimization, and instead avoids or prevents the necessary global changes, since everyone (or most people) deceive themselves thinking that they are actually contributing to such optimization. This idea is not mine, actually, it comes from Daniel Schmachtenberger, also taken by Nate Hagens. We need systems-wide ways to approach the solutions. Our problemes go way beyond just substituting an energy source for another (although this problem itself is already a massive one).

Kevin Anderson appeared on Nate Hagens' show "The Great Simplification".

I really enjoyed their conversation and appreciate Kevin's honesty and candor. He recognizes himself and the whole scientific and engineering community as part of the top 10% earners, responsible for half of all GHG emissions. He said many of his colleagues "sweeten the pill" when talking about pathways and described them as "mitigation deniers".
