    Jsme líní a rozmazlení, změna životního stylu je neodvratná. Green Deal bude ohromně drahý, říká Drábová | DVTV - první internetová televize

    „Část společnosti se teď propadá do energetické chudoby, ale dala bych si pozor na to mluvit o krizi. Nejzásadnější důvod je dlouhodobý, je nás skoro osm miliard a všichni potřebují nějaké zdroje, ale ty má planeta omezené. A ukazuje se, že ani náhodou nevíme, jak fosilní zdroje nahradíme. Vyžaduje to nový stav mysli,” míní šéfka úřadu pro jadernou bezpečnost Dana Drábová. „Už se to musí konečně začít říkat velmi nahlas - start Green Dealu bude ohromně drahý a pro Česko to bude těžké, bude to ale dobrý impuls k inovacím,” dodává.

    Zatímco všichni sledují vývoj pandemie, zdraví prezidenta nebo sestavování vlády tak tuzemská oligarchie připravila krok, kterým chce pomoct zachránit uhlí a další fosilní paliva při životě. PPF společně s Tykačem chtějí ovládnout Monetu a spojit ji s Air Bank, Zonky a Home Creditem. Zkrátka vytvořit velký bankovní moloch s cílem zvrátit situaci na finančním trhu, který uhlí a fosilní paliva odmítá.

    Pokud by se jim to povedlo, snahu o ochranu klimatu u nás by to posunulo o tři kroky nazpátek. Naštěstí to nebudou mít tak jednoduché.

    Great Wall of Lights: China’s sea power on Darwin’s doorstep
    https://apnews.com/article/china-oceans-overfishing-squid-294ff1e489589b2510cc806ec898c78f

    By all accounts, the Humboldt squid — named for the nutrient-rich current found off the southwest coast of South America — is one of the most abundant marine species. Some scientists believe their numbers may even be thriving as the oceans warm and their natural predators, sharks, and tuna, are fished out of existence.

    But biologists say they’ve never faced a threat like the explosion of industrial Chinese fishing off South America.

    The number of Chinese-flagged vessels in the south Pacific has surged 10-fold from 54 active vessels in 2009 to 557 in 2020, according to the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organization, or SPRFMO, an inter-governmental group of 15 members charged with ensuring the conservation and sustainable fishing of the species. Meanwhile, the size of its catch has grown from 70,000 tons in 2009 to 358,000.

    Fishing takes place almost exclusively at night when each ship turns on hundreds of lights as powerful as anything at a stadium to attract swarms of the fast-flying squid. The concentration of lights is so intense it can be seen from space on satellite images that show the massive fleet shining as brightly as major cities hundreds of miles away on land.

    ...

    The Chinese fleet is able to fish for sometimes years at a time because they can offload their catch at sea into a network of giant refrigerated vessels, or reefers, capable of hauling more than 15,000 cubic meters of fish — enough to fill six Olympic-sized pools — to port. Giant tankers provide cheap fuel heavily subsidized by the Chinese government, adding to the environmental burden.

    ...

    Nearly 11% of total U.S. seafood imports in 2019 worth $2.4 billion came from illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, according to the U.S. International Trade Commission, a federal agency. Outside the U.S., the problem is believed to be even worse.

    “We don’t know if things are getting better or worse,” said Boris Worm, a marine biologist at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada. “It basically comes down to who you believe.”

    Plant-based meat substitutes and lab-grown meat not only require enormous amount of (carbon-intensive) energy, but are increasingly being controlled by a handful of dairy/meat monopolies (e.g. Tyson, Cargill and JBS) with ties to all your favourite venture capitalists and 1% billionaires.

    These companies are rebranding themselves around "protein" and the net result has so far meant higher prices, lower incomes to factory workers and farmers, decreasing agricultural diversity, and more intensified monoculture. So much for going "green".

    Perhaps more scary still is how people on the so-called left are increasingly getting on board with this, including by promoting things like "compulsory global veganism".

    President Biden’s Silk Purse: Young People Will Sit in Judgment
    https://mailchi.mp/caa/president-bidens-silk-purse-young-people-will-sit-in-judgment

    The cruel hoax perpetrated at COP meetings must be apparent to IPCC scientists, but with rare exception (e.g., Kevin Anderson) the alarm is not sounded: it is now impossible to achieve the Paris agreement goal with the COP diplomatic approach. Scientists with even a smattering of understanding of global energy use realize the limitations imposed by realpolitik and realpolitic, even if they do not use those words.

    Realpolitik refers to much more than the fact that a political leader must be certain to “keep the lights on.” A more important factor is the desire of the public to raise their living standard. Fossil fuels are a convenient, inexpensive source of great energy. They will be used, unless an equal or better alternative is available. It takes time to develop adequate alternatives.

    Realpolitic causes additional delay due to poor governance. A political leader may find it convenient to obtain support by denying the reality or seriousness of climate change. The fossil fuel industry may find it easier to bribe governments, rather than develop clean energies.

    Political leaders understand these limitations that make it difficult to achieve global emission reductions, especially in the near term. Thus, they set goals for some time in the future when they will likely be out of office, if not dead. The consequence of this delay tactic is that the positive exclamations at the conclusion of COP meetings are bullshit.

    Realpolitik and realpolitic limitations can be overcome, if basic energy facts are understood and addressed. The first basic fact is that fossil fuels are readily available and they will be used as long as their price does not include their costs to society. Those costs include air pollution, water pollution, and, especially, climate change. The second basic fact is that renewable energies must be complemented by a reliable 24/7 energy source, and the choices for the foreseeable future are nuclear power and fossil fuels. In principle, fossil fuels might be used with carbon capture, but the only ready – or almost ready – complement for renewables is nuclear power.

    The corporate state came for human rights lawyer Steven Donziger — and we're next | Salon.com
    https://www.salon.com/2021/10/13/the-corporate-state-came-for-human-rights-lawyer-steven-donziger--and-followed-orders/

    Judge Loretta Preska, an adviser to the conservative Federalist Society, to which Chevron is a major donor, sentenced human rights attorney and Chevron nemesis Steven Donziger to six months in prison ... she said at the sentencing, "It seems that only the proverbial two-by-four between the eyes will instill in him any respect for the law" — capped a judicial farce worthy of the antics of Vasiliy Vasilievich, the presiding judge at the major show trials of the Great Purges in the Soviet Union, or the Nazi judge Roland Freisler, who once shouted at a defendant,"You really are a lousy piece of trash!"

    ...

    "No lawyer in New York for my level of offense ever has served more than 90 days, and that was in home confinement," Donziger told the court. "I have now been in home confinement eight times that period of time. I have been disbarred without a hearing where I have been unable to present factual evidence; thus, I am unable to earn an income in my profession. I have no passport. I can't travel; can't do human rights work the normal way which I believe I am reasonably good at; can't see my clients in Ecuador; can't visit the affected communities to hear the latest news of cancer deaths or struggles to maintain life in face of constant exposure to oil pollution. In addition, and this is little known, Judge [Lewis A.] Kaplan has imposed millions and millions of dollars of fines and courts costs on me. [Kaplan is the judge for Chevron's lawsuit against Donziger; Preska is his handpicked judge for the contempt charges.] He has ordered me to pay millions to Chevron to cover their legal fees in attacking me, and then he let Chevron go into my bank accounts and take all my life's savings because I did not have the funds to cover these costs. Chevron still has a pending motion to order me to pay them an additional $32 [million] in legal fees. That's where things stand today

    I think one of the fundamental questions of our time is, are we down to walk away from the comforts and ease that modern, technological, fossil fuels-based, industrial civilization provides us? Yet it is excruciatingly rare that I ever hear the question asked.

    If we are not, if we are going to ride this thing out to the scorched-earth bitter end, which is what it seems, then most other things are just bull shit posturing and fantastical techno-saviorist illusions.

    There is a zero sum game between all human activity and the rest of all nature. There is no techno-futurist utopia. Solar panels and wind turbines are not going to save us. In fact, as Jeff Gibbs says, we would do well to stop calling these forms of energy "renewable" or "sustainable", and should instead call them "technological energy".

    Not once, never have I ever heard on NPR when they are discussing climate change, a reference to the need for what I will call an ecological, bioregional embeddedness. Nothing even remotely close to this concept.

    I also think that just using the term "climate change" as a catch-all for all environmental issues is reductive and does a disservice to the multitude of crises that we face. As if, hey, let's just suck some carbon out of the atmosphere and we can go back to business as usual....this line of thinking is a fatal mistake.

    Mostly, a far-ranging, full-on assault is being waged against all of nature. So I prefer to use the term "eco-catastrophe" or "the converging eco-catastrophes".

    I don't think people really grasp the extent to which pretty much all aspects of modern life are bound up with the abundant use of fossil fuels, and thus, the monumental amount of sacrifice and hard-work it would take create an *actually* sustainable world that did not use them.

    It would take an upending. The vast majority of people would have to do something completely different on a day-to-day basis. Literally, the physical, material aspect of it all. They may not even be able to live where they currently live (cue the person that says "oh, you are talking about forced relocations"...no, what I am saying is that if something is not sustainable, then it's not sustainable, and there is no getting around that fact.)

    So, what I am saying, is that without a collective social vision, in which most of the population coalesces around a place-based, ecological, bioregional embeddedness, which would think deeply about the systems that we need and from my view would be agrarian and horticultural with a healthy dose of rewilding, and would prioritize agroforestry efforts...without this, the future seems to be one destined for a tragic, bleak, scorched-earth.
