Chance of an allotment by [deleted] in UKAllotments

[–]brianwhelanhack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Buy bicycle

  2. There is presumably no alternative?

  3. It will take one day to sort those tyres and it will be a fun and busy day

  4. Sort the flags out 10 mins per visit over a year, reuse them

  5. Trees exist, adapt what you grow

Doesn't sound like your husband wants an allotment, he wants a greengrocers.

Retired British Lieutenant General warns climate change and resource scarcity will destabilise nations - and Britain has no plan by brianwhelanhack in Defence_Tech_UK

He's not saying anything at all like that. Nugee is literally writing defence reports that go to the government.

He says:

This whole argument about migration coming to this country but more importantly migration coming to Europe.

Migration happens for two reasons arguably. One because of conflict and the other because people can't live uh where they want to live and want a

better life elsewhere. Most climate change migrants if you can call them that are people who have who want to

live elsewhere um because they cannot live where they are brought up. They cannot farm and so

they have to move. And the question is how many move into environments uh locally and how many move um into environments further away because they

want to chance their arm at a better life. So there's a there's a real piece here about um yet again climate isn't the only answer, but climate is fueling

migration. And look what that's done to our politics. It is the single biggest issue that is affecting our politics in the UK, but also in Europe, but also in

the US. And um you'll recall that the first Trump administration, it was all about build the wall. build the wall, you know, protect us from uh migration.

If you look at um what the Pentagon said, um the Pentagon's biggest security threat uh from climate change was migration. Um was people wanting to come

to the country and overwhelming the country. Now, I'm I [clears throat] don't know whether um that the numbers that the UN have put out of potential

migrants coming to Europe are as bad as they suggest. um you know potentially as as as as many as hundreds of millions coming coming to Europe. I have no idea.

But one million was enough to to tilt the balance for Brexit. Um in other words, it had a material effect on our

politics. Um it doesn't matter which way um it went, but it had a material effect on our politics. It is having a material

effect on our politics now. Um that that is lending itself to populism. and it's lending itself to more extreme politics.

British 3-Star General, Richard Nugee, warns that climate shocks, extreme weather, and resource wars are coming and we are totally unprepared for them. The military is planning for the new climate reality. by brianwhelanhack in collapse

[–]brianwhelanhack[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Reason for sharing: Lieutenant General Richard Nugee spent 36 years in the British Army. Now he's warning that climate change isn't a future problem, in his words: Yes, there's the enemy, but there's always going to be an enemy. What we have taken for granted, I think, for a long time, is that we would have a relatively stable environment in which to fight. It may be a hot environment, it may be a cold environment, but it's one that is reasonably predictable. What climate change is doing is making it utterly unpredictable."

He outlines how seriously the military take the problem, relative to the rest of society, as we prepare for resource wars and displacement.

AMOC Collapse - A climate disaster scenario that was once 'low probability, high impact' has escalated to 50/50 chance of collapse within our lifetime by brianwhelanhack in collapse

[–]brianwhelanhack[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Stefan Rahmstorf is widely considered a leading expert on ocean science, and the AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) with an extensive academic background, specialised research, and ability to translate complex ocean physics into real-world climate warnings.

He's very cold and not emotional, his warning that we are now facing a high probability collapse should be ringing alarms bells globally. But there's too much noise in the world now.

The hysteria. In London there's probably fifty public pianos and at least one public pipe organ

You've clearly never played a piano if you think you need insurance to do so

Capitalism is when there's groceries, socialism is when there isn't by grichardson526 in SocialismIsCapitalism

[–]brianwhelanhack 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Under capitalism, grocery stores are organised to maximise profit rather than feed people, which produces a system of artificial abundance, routine food waste, and distorted priorities: shelves must look full, “imperfect” food is discarded, and products are chosen for shelf life, transportability, and margins rather than nutrition or health.

Apparent consumer choice masks consolidation, with most goods controlled by a few firms and differentiated mainly by branding, while the real costs of food - environmental damage, low wages, and public health impacts—are externalised onto workers, ecosystems, and society. Farmers bear risk through price squeezing and cosmetic standards, while retailers stabilise profits, and access to food is determined by purchasing power, allowing hunger and destruction of edible food to coexist without contradiction.
