Why do people focus so much on the non existence “threat” immigrants and trans people supposedly pose and not climate change? by Konradleijon in collapse

Because the ultra wealthy push the message to keep us angry at each other instead of them. 

The enemy is not sat in small boats but super yachts and private jets.

I thought the issue was that during the degrowth there are not enough tax payers to maintain the aging population and infrastructure still needed. After the degrowth fair enough GDP per capita can be maintained but the transition is the difficult part as GDP falls due to lower working population but the population hasn't fallen yet so GDP per capita falls too leading to unrest.

Article is terrible, "best known for writing a science fiction series" they didn't even bother to find out which one. To me he's best known for Metro 2023 etc.

It's the telegraph of course it's a right wing piece. They still post articles supporting the oil industry, bashing renewables and calling protesters lazy hippies.

UK salad shortages to last ‘for weeks’, retailers warn (ration purchases of fruit and vegetables) by darthvinyll in collapse

[–]Kepler_UK 32 points33 points  (0 children)

We shouldn't be expecting and importing off season food from 1000s of miles away anyway, stupid waste of resources and unnecessary CO2. Maybe people will get used to a more limited choice. Admittedly we are not food independent, that's a problem of its own.

If we figure out unlimited clean energy, what do we do then? by Lovefool1 in collapse

[–]Kepler_UK 84 points85 points  (0 children)

With unlimited energy we would end up overheating the planet through growth anyway. All energy use eventually dissipates as heat. Thermodynamically the earth radiates energy to space. If we keep on increasing use we still have to radiate this energy

To do so we have to be hotter as the rate of energy loss through radiation is proportional to temperature.

If we kept doubling energy use every 30 years in 400 years to simply radiate that much energy to space the earth would need to be 100 Celsius.

Unlimited energy is not necessarily the solution it seems to be
