You know about that canary in the coal mine, right?

When a canary kept inside a cage dies, the miners need to get out immediately. They are in extreme danger.

For us, the canary is coral reefs. They are dying now, at a rate never seen in human history. We are in extreme danger.

Capitalist commerce and industry are wrecking the planet's biosphere, tampering with the food chain that keeps us and millions of other species alive.

The overwhelming majority of people in the world – between 80% and 89%, according to a growing number of peer-reviewed scientific studies – want their governments to take stronger climate action.

But at least for now, this global climate majority is a silent majority.

The current mismatch between public will and government action amounts to a deficit in democracy.

Climate is just one symptom of the fact that humanity is using equivalent resources of 1. 7 planet Earths, way beyond Earth capacity to regenerate
We are using future Earth resources to maintain unsustainable present economic growth destroying Earth ability to maintain life

Sometimes I get very, very annoyed with my fellow countrymen when it comes to solar !
Money seems to be [have been] the primary goal for solar.
Should that goal not have been to contribute to the solution to the #ClimateEmergency.
#Mitigation, the ultimate solution.

"New Report - Rooftop Solar PV is THE biggest climate mitigation technology!" [11:25 min]

Quote by JHaT:
"Apr 13, 2025
Rooftop solar PV is THE best way to reduce your household energy bills (alongside good insulation of course!). But the technology is woefully underutilised on a global basis, especially in regions that have the best sunshine, like Africa. Now a new report has crunched some numbers and calculated the climate mitigation potential of all those unused roofs around the world. And it's quite the impact!"

No one talks about the garbage island in the Pacific.

But it’s larger than France, Germany, and Spain combined.

And it’s leaking toxic chemicals into the fish you eat.

Here’s what you were never told about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch:

Fifty years ago, if the right decisions had been made, today might look very different. We likely would not be talking about a climate crisis or a climate emergency.

But the right decisions were not made then. Instead, our capitalist rulers pushed ahead with their growth-at-any-cost mantra. And now we face certain disaster.

There are still actions to be taken, a struggle to be waged, in hopes of making the collapse of society slightly less costly for some people in some places. We must engage in that fight.

But suffering is inevitable, great suffering, both for humans and for the natural environment that our industry and our consumerism are in the process of destroying.

The climate crisis has tripled the length of ocean heatwaves, a study has found, supercharging deadly storms and destroying critical ecosystems such as kelp forests and coral reefs.

Half of the marine heatwaves since 2000 would not have happened without global heating, which is caused by burning fossil fuels. The heatwaves have not only become more frequent but also more intense: 1C warmer on average, but much hotter in some places, the scientists said.

Top Wall Street institutions are preparing for a severe future of global warming that blows past the temperature limits agreed to by more than 190 nations a decade ago, industry documents show.

Hello friends!

I am Eden, I am #NewHere, and I like making things grow.

My particular interests include #TreePruning (think: fruit orchards, but also espaliers and bonsai when I'm feeling particularly spicy), figuring out how to grow a #Garden on a plot that is almost 100 % sand and gets little to no rain in the summer months, #BuildingSoil, and collecting interesting vegetable varieties (bonus points if they are black/purple or variegated).

I am a mix of about 50 % idealism and 50 % cynicism. The world is going to shit, but… that doesn't mean we can't try to have nice things while we watch the world burn.

Follow and connect if you want to exchange ideas, passions, seeds or just talk about STUFF. I speak German and English well enough to hold a conversation, other languages might need some more time to decipher.

Some random assortment of things that rotate through my hyperfocus lens in irregular intervals: #Permakultur #Permaculture #Streuobstwiese #Pomologie #Obstbaumschnitt #RegenerativeAgriculture #RegenerativeLandwirtschaft #SoilBuilding #Compost #Kompost #Selbstversorgung #SolarPunk #KlimaKatastrophe #ClimateEmergency #Klimawandel #ClimateChange #Sustainability #Nachhaltigkeit #SolidarischPreppen #BGE #UBI #AnimalRights (to be extended)
