I also wonder how much of this approach is our own discomfort at provoking in others the self-same difficult emotions that arose in us when we learned how bad the situation was? The understandable, but socially unacceptable appearance of fear, rage, grief, despair. These difficult feelings are repressed by most, not readily welcomed between us. Will we, as the messenger, be shot along with our painful message? Are we afraid to risk the transgression of social norms; a suicide by social rejection? A rejection which is painfully and viscerally processed in the soft, vulnerable animal of our body as a threat to our existence.

And I wonder if we are moved by an even greater fear; the rising to the surface of the true scale of those emotions lurking in the dark of our unconscious? Is our avoidance, the avoidance of the amplification of our own emotional responses in the communal feeling-togetherness which is a hallmark of our shared humanity? Do we fear that in community, the rising flood waters of emotion will break the banks protecting our most precious fantasies of independence, individuality and immortality? Do we fear that the turbulent waters will wash away everything we longed for, hoped to be, wanted to have, exposing us in the nakedness of our inter-neediness as the wretched, dependent and mortal creatures that we fear ourselves to be?
Of course, I am not arguing or advocating for any particular approach in communicating the climate and ecological emergency. Rather to expose ourselves more truly in the self-protectionist opinions and beliefs that we may hold and to invite ourselves to ask tough questions about what we think is right or wrong, skillful or unskillful action as we face the greatest catastrophe in the history of humanity.

Does the last grain of sand to slip through the narrow neck of the hourglass believe that it has time for time to take time?

Will we hold ourselves knowingly and lovingly in the consciousness of our own fear and denial and act from there?

Or, will the loyalty to our belief in the taking-of-time be prised from the cold, rigid, dead last pair of human hands?

No one to chisel the epitaph ‘it takes time’ ‘on the tombstone of our humanity.

there is a lot of work currently on climate attribution, but I think it is true that we can absolutely say that we’re more likely to see events that take our systems outside of design parameters.

There are a lot of different kinds of things that can go wrong that all have their own periodicity and all have their own probabilities. You might have a one-in-100-year event of heat one year then have a one-in-100-year event of cold the next year.

With climate change, we are seeing a lot more specific types of weather. There’s some debate on whether these big cold-weather events are likely to become more frequent, more extreme, longer, et cetera. In general, the types of extreme events that we can plan to see are pretty variable and all have slightly different implications for what you would do to prepare. What’s definitely true is that we are likely to see things that are far outside of what we planned on.

But it’s not just climate and weather that make these events bad. A lot of the time, it’s really the intersection between unusual events—events that are outside design parameters—and the fact that on the infrastructure side we have a lot of issues with long-term deferred maintenance and obsolescence.

It’s this intersection between technological problems, climate problems, and governance problems—it’s not usually just one thing that fails.

So Texas was an extreme event on the winter weather front, but also, a lot of the infrastructure that we thought was going to perform under those conditions didn’t. And then in terms of notifications, there was a lot of mix-up in terms of who was supposed to be doing what. We had failures in all three of those arenas, and probably more. It’s not just that it was cold.


...



With the energy sector, if we want to mitigate, we actually do have to go build the whole thing back again. That’s a huge window of opportunity for really thinking about what we’re going to build. We’re not just trying to maintain and replace things that break—we’re trying to completely remake that system. There’s this massive need for investment that actually lines up with the timelines that we use for some of these climate goals.

And then to also have a new administration that’s interested in pursuing some of those goals, it really is a very unusual opportunity.

XCHAOS: nesouhlasím. Nalozeny kolo na cyklo vandr je tezsi nez ebike. Hlavni hmotnost ale dela jezdec. Mam li 100 kg je to vic nez kdyz mam ted ebike a 68kg. Ono novy kolo a prestavba byla cca za 30k,ja to koupil uz pouzity. Jen nova baterka bude za12 tisic.

Rafkovy brzdy staci a i to co mam de da ovladat bezpecne jen nesmi byt clovek debil.
Co je desivy jsou spis elektrokolobezky, spolehani se za jejich brzdy kdyz jedou na kolobezce 2 lidi skopce 40km/h bez prilby a na tech mrnavych kolech.Idealne jeste po chodníku.

Levne ale funkcni ebiky a dotace na to jsou imho cesty jak prevest cast autistu na cyklisty... Samotna soutěž Do prácen na kole to nezvládne. Samozřejmě hlavní je bezpečnáiinfrastruktura , což dopravní indukce pak zajistí aby to preferovalo vic lidi... Ale jak z Česka udělat Kodaň je otázkou

BROZKEFF: no jo, s ultralevnýma přestavbama jsem taky začínal, ale ty právě dost poškozujou dobrý jméno elektrokol :-) teda když už ultralevná přestavba, tak jdou komponenty pořídit skoro do 10 000 Kč, nejdražší je dobrá baterka. ale otázka je, jestli to má smysl takhle, já taky začínal s ráfkovýma brzdama, ale ono třeba už i vzhledem k prosté hmotnosti se každé elektrokolo dokáže z kopce dost rozjet, a spíš by to zasloužilo k tomu přistupovat jako k mopedu. tedy, těch 80 000 je většinou nesmysl, ale rozumný kompromis by měl být kolem 30 000 a aspoň s kotoučovými brzdami a hodně pomůže i když jsou hydraulické (skutečně eko je až rekuperační brždění, které i šetří brzdy, ale to je věda, se kterou pořád zápasím :-)
