A terrifying story about the dangers of climate change and nuclear power.

"Humanity has constructed a doomsday Deadman switch that threatens civilization. Climate destruction will make it increasingly difficult to avoid the looming global nuclear catastrophe we've created.
Here's how our future might unravel:"

And beyond fiction, Schumacher's 'Small is Beautiful' is 52 yrs old, and I read Latouche's book on #Degrowth for the first time in 2012, which already back then seemed to me a both feasible and compelling alternative to our system. I know I'm not the only one, because yrs after, in 2019, speaking with a civil servant working in a council's environmental department,

I think it stuck with me because, especially with the current fascist turn, I keep reading from leftists of all sorts that we need a story, a better story. And to me, this search for a story is almost becoming the story, and missing the point entirely.
There are tons of stories out there. There have been since I was young. My student last year made a dissertation on U. K. Le Guin as solarpunk. There is an whole world of stories from non-Western indigenous literature.

I've been listening to this amazing episode by @parismarx and @brianmerchant chatting with @annaleen & Charlie Jane Anders. They talk about a lot of important things like the distorted understanding tech billionaires have of SciFi, but the episode's part I loved most is how Annalee and Charlie push back to the idea that there are no alternative stories: because there are, not just in SciFi, but also in fantasy.

#ClimateChange and anthropogenic nature destruction in the name of "development" continue to wreck havoc across the most vulnerable areas first.

And by that I mean mountainous communities in the vicinity of melting #Glaciers. If you live in the Alps or any area classed as a mountain range, I'd be packing up to move to flatter terrain outside flood zones at the foothills.

GILGIT: Landslides continued to affect many areas of Gilgit-Baltistan on Tuesday, even as the weather improved after four days of intermittent rain and snowfall. With climate change making weather patterns erratic, the mountainous region received heavy rainfall and snowfall during months when the weather is relatively better. On Tuesday, landslides occurred in Chichala village in Deral valley of Diamer, according to police. The falling rocks damaged a home, livestock shelters, trees and other properties. Landslides also damaged many connecting roads in the region. The Chipurson Road in upper Hunza was blocked due to landslides, cutting off locals’ access to other parts of the region. Police said the Karakoram Highway, Baltistan Road and other major roads have been opened for traffic on Tuesday after landslides blocked the roads. Internet and mobile services and electricity supply also remained suspended in many areas, particularly in Ghizer and Ghanche. Locals have urged the immediate restoration of electricity and communication services. In Astore, landslides damaged electricity transmission lines. Adqil Hussain Bagiri, a local resident told Dawn that residents in upper areas of Astore were facing difficultes after snowfall and rain. He said families in Daskhrim village were living under the open sky as several houses were partially damaged after snowfall and rain. Locals have urged the government to provide shelter and rehabilitation to the affected ‘people of Daskhrim.
Earlier on Monday, a foreign tourist was killed another injured as falling rocks during a landslide hit their vehicle in Ghanche. In Skardu, a mother and her two daughters were seriously injured when a landslide hit their home. Minister’s visit Federal Minister for Climate Change Senator Mosaddiq Malik and other offifieals of the Ministry of Climate Change visited Shigar with a UNDP delegation to review the newly installed early warning system.

Update on The Bee Incident:

Pain mostly gone. Ice pack did the trick.

Hubby talked with our neighbors. They said the bees are aggressive this year due to the unusually wet and warm weather. The other factor is a lack of flowering trees that they like. They hope to move the bees in a few months to the other side of our mountain near an apple & peach orchard.

In the meantime, Hubby bought me a beekeeper's hat I can wear when I'm gardening! 🥰 All set!

#ClimateDiary As a non-catholic, non religious person finding myself very sad that #PopeFrancis has died, worried about what will come next.

I am thinking of his #LaudatoSi on “care for our common home”

“The idea of infinite or unlimited growth, which proves so attractive to economists, financiers and experts in technology … is based on the lie that there is an infinite supply of the earth’s goods, and this leads to the planet being squeezed dry at every limit.”

@pvonhellermannn we've had major wildfires in Wales, I've been watering plants in pots in March

"The number of wildfires in Wales already this spring has been "extraordinary", a senior firefighter has said. So far this spring Mid and West Wales Fire Service has dealt with almost 700 fires this year compared to 100 in the same period last year.."
