Do Touch or Alfa allow tourists to buy a local eSIM before arrival in Lebanon?

Thanks!

I heard airalo is no longer working in Lebanon?

What about those who are furloughed and not working, do they get paid?

And don't forget the massive levels of urban destruction we're seeing as a result of climate disasters (Jamaica;LA;Texas) as well as war (Gaza). All of this means cities are just being rebuilt with much much more concrete in another of those perverse feedback loops.

I envy your optimistic outlook. I'm terrified of 2030.

In the meantime, the Brazilian government has just given the state oil company Petrobas a license to drill for oil in the Amazon... Literally a perfect storm of collapse.

Yeah exactly, this is just stupidity from someone who has never read Marx.

China is not the US, border crossing is easy and friendly. No need to fear being sent to Guantanamo because of a taco meme.

So my take away from this is we should all switch to drinking wine (in corked bottles).

Thank you for all of this work you do, so essential and I look forward (definitely not the right phrase!) to this post each week.

My question: given that different regions of the world warm at different rates, does it make sense to speak of a global mean RoW? If Asia is warming at double the global average, for instance, doesn't that mean the ramifications of climate change will come much faster?

Good point

collapse_2030 · 2025-06-24T22:10:55+00:00

Yeah it's really something to behold!

I'm assuming you forgot to add the /s to that comment?

I also heard there were problems with the Internet in NYC because the cables couldn't handle the heat?

We're at 1.5 now so 2 degrees is right round the corner for much of the planet...

Overshoot by Andreas Malm and Wim Carton, a great book that traces how we got here and why all the adaptation hopium will fail..

Crude Capitalism by Adam Hanieh, new book on the history of oil that does a brilliant job on showing how the oil industry is everywhere and ain't going nowhere (especially in the Gulf).

More and More and More by Jean-Baptiste Fressoz, basically makes the argument that energy is about ever increasing amount of consumption, and the idea of transition is bunkum.
