Droppie [infosec] 🐨:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird: :vegan:<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/@ajsadauskas" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ajsadauskas</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/@jaystephens" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jaystephens</a> Ta, interesting. I vaguely recall some of that, but your helpful toot defo provided more info than i knew. I think something like this is why i feel, & tbh remain, so archly cynical... If Straya, & frankly the rest of the world, was genuinely honestly doing all the serious shit needed NOW to decarbonise & ameliorate, then seeking engineering solutions in flood zones like this would be ok. Knowing though that we & most others are totes NOT seriously addressing the crisis, fuels [boom tish] my severe pessimism, coz eg, engineering designs need engineering assumptions [in this case including expected heights & frequency of floods]. Such assumptions necessarily must be predicated on a certain "steady state" belief [plus safety margins thrown in]. That's all fine, IF we had reason to trust such assumptions. I do NOT trust them, simply coz there IS no steady state; humans are continuing to add more & more CO2 & CH4 to Gaia's atmosphere, thus more & more raising the enthalpy, ergo the heating energy, ergo... yada yada. <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NonLinear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NonLinear</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TippingPoints" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TippingPoints</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/PositiveFeedbackLoops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PositiveFeedbackLoops</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FossilFools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FossilFools</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/RenewableEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RenewableEnergy</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ChangeTheSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChangeTheSystem</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/StateCapture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StateCapture</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/RightToProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToProtest</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biodiversity</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/WeAreTotallyFscked" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeAreTotallyFscked</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Misanthropy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Misanthropy</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Karma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Karma</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeForests</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/StopLoggingNativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StopLoggingNativeForests</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FsckCapitalism</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/CognitiveDissonance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CognitiveDissonance</a>

*|FNAME|* 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇬🇱<a href="https://mstdn.ca/@chad" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@chad</a> As I feared, it’s increasingly sounding like this trade war is going to provide cover for new pipelines, looser regulations and expanded fossil-fuel development. I understand the reasons why (fossils being the most profitable industry in the world and all) but it’s short-sighted in terms of the cost to the environment the future stability of our world. It’s especially worrisome that we’re looking at shipping our oil out through arctic ports. That sounds to me like a recipe for ecological disaster.I’ve also heard (usually Conservative) governments over the years, tout expanded fossil-fuel development as a way to ‘displace foreign oil imports’, however unless the plans include building out domestic refining capacity, all we’re doing is shipping out raw product only to re-import the refined fuels—which also happens to be a convenient accounting method of sidestepping responsibility for the carbon emissions that the refining process produces.It’s beginning to look like the Carney Liberals are just as much in thrall to oil & gas as their predecessors. Possibly more-so. 🫤<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FossilFools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FossilFools</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CDNPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDNPoli</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CanPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CanPoli</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ClimateEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateEmergency</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TradeWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TradeWar</a>
