Cop31 is a chance to redefine ourselves from climate laggard to global leade

No it isn't, such foolish, ney stupid thinking.

The entire COP process has been co-opted by fossil fuel interests and is now irrelevant , we're a massive exporter of fossil fuels and have zero interest in moving foward to zero emissons, voters will never tolerate not being able to fly and told they can't drive cars, stop owing meat eating pets etc

If we wanted to be "leaders" we'd not be holding the Olympics in Australia, not be spending billions expanding Brisbane, Melbourne and Hobart airports, we'd have abandoned all new road projects and only be building PT and AT infrastructure and be closing coal mines and gas extraction and redoing society for low energy dependence, while starting managed abandonment of coastlines and Northern Australia.

Just stick to denial and useless tokenism with a few solar panels and ecars like other developed countries and stop with the hypocrisy.

Boyd said: “There’s no place in the climate negotiations for fossil-fuel companies. There is no place in the plastic negotiations for plastic manufacturers. It just absolutely boggles my mind that anybody thinks they have a legitimate seat at the table.

“It has driven me crazy in the past six years that governments are just oblivious to history. We know that the tobacco industry lied through their teeth for decades. The lead industry did the same. The asbestos industry did the same. The plastics industry has done the same. The pesticide industry has done the same.”

Still so much 2FA via SMS where I am in Aus.

I'd prefer to move everything over to something like Signal but I neeed a phone # to register for that but how do u tell the bank my Signal ID is @hanrhan.666

Which is widely know but surprisingly well supported by a vast number of voters.

Good news! Fuck the Swiss.

Is there a how to for Linux?

Works for me

If I can't walk there, I don't go.

Is that a Tram in the background ?

Yeah, smart TV, never connect it to the 'net, get a used shield pro, ADB and side load F Launcher. No ads.

Shelds remote can control the TV volume and its connected via HDMI and the Shiekd Pro remote switches both off and on. I use Kodi, Prime, Smart Tube Next and a couple local TV apps.

Not what u want but that's where I am and it works well.

Be interested to see the responses

So, his wife ?

Thats a dark road to tread.

An example,

no alchol consumption is safe, so using your line of thinking you'd need to argue that anyone who partakes of alcohol at any anytime would fall under that line of thinking

Processed red meats simailary, especially those treated with nitrites, so those eating bacon, ham etc shouldn't be entitled to public heath care under your reasoning

Or are those things ok becase you do them ?

On the upside, now you've excluded 95% of the population, public healthcare will be cheap :)

Contra to most peoples thinking, if you're concerned about public healthcare costs, you should "encourage" obesiety and smoking, they all die early, most health care coats are associated with healthy people in their old age. See here

Adults are stupid and greedy, we all are.

This is the most depressing thread I've read for some time.

It's horrific to read some of the posts twisting bad news and making out as though it's good news. It's like the posters are watching children in a sandpit playing, ignoring the monster flood thats about to wash them away but taking joy in their play. Wtf?

Professor Boyd is right https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/07/un-expert-human-rights-climate-crisis-economy

Outgoing special rapporteur David Boyd says ‘there’s something wrong with our brains that we can’t understand how grave this is’

And after reading this thread, i am even more sure Rees is

https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/06/14/opinion/science-civilization-collapse-environment-limits

Rees bluntly states, “the human enterprise is effectively subsuming the ecosphere” and “wide-spread societal collapse cannot be averted — collapse is not a problem to be solved, but rather the final stage of a cycle to be endured.”
