Bruh how? You can get kilograms of dried beans for $10.

It's more expensive for canned beans but for $10 are you eating 5 cans of organic beans a day?

Only if you're American.

The area this article is talking about was oak savannah:

Within these oak savannas, which were interlaced with prairies, tree crowns covered between 10 percent and 30 percent of the ground. They were essentially a transition between the tight deciduous forests of the East and the fully open grasslands further west.

Odd to see Papua New Guinea referred to as an "Island Nation" as if it were like a microstate in the Pacific. It's half of New Guinea and bunch of other islands besides, and it's bigger than Sweden.

Under pressure from Nazis and tankies.

Can we also bulldoze the Nazi SS cemetery in Oakville and for good measure, flood it with piss?

Apparently the monument is gone "for repairs".

Most climate scientists say we need to make changes to our personal lives and changes to the system. If one lives in the overdeveloped world, one's impact is potentially huge. There are basic things that make a difference: eat less meat from ruminants (beef, mutton), don't fly, have fewer or no kids. Those are low hanging fruit, take little effort, and still leave time and energy for whatever system change tactic one wants to do.

I've encountered the term "Imperial mode of living" cited by Kohei Salto. Thanks for posting this interview.

On the theft of resources for the affluent lifestyle, I recommend Cobalt Red, about mining in the DRC. It's a brutal read. Kids digging with hand tools in toxic pits for $1 a day.

 

Another huge hydro dam is being built in British Columbia, on Canada's west coast.

The article describes the coming destruction of farmland and wildlife habitat.

“We have to decarbonize our economy, but it can’t be on the back of flooding more river valleys.”

But as long as the economy grows, more sacrifice zones like this will be made. And if you don't like flooded river valleys, go take a look at tar sands pits or mountaintop removals.

 

Logging companies get to clearcut burned forests, including trees that survived the burn. Another way that capital can profit even from disaster. And the extractive state lays down the red carpet for capital to do it.

 

Specifically about coal plants.
