Let’s clear up some misconceptions.

Degrowth does NOT mean condemning millions of people in the Global South to starvation.

Degrowth is about social justice and climate justice. This means allowing the Global South to achieve something close to parity with a Global North that is sharply reducing consumption and energy use.

On the other hand, a continuation of endless economic growth, i.e. Business As Usual, DOES mean condemning hundreds of millions in the Global South to eco-climate disasters, drought, and starvation.

Fluorescent green sodium hydroxide liquid, leaked from Tesla's Palo Alto headquarters, flows along a street gutter. The chemical, which is used as coolant for Tesla's "AI supercomputer," eventually ran into Matadero Creek. Fire officials say more than 500 gallons were recovered, as cleanup efforts continue into next week.

Tesla doesn't have a permit to store the chemical, and "could be fined."

It may already be too late.

No, that's wrong – it *is* already too late to prevent catastrophic damage to our planet’s climate, environment, and biodiversity. We have waited far too long.

Ecological collapse is unavoidable. In fact, it's already begun — with ocean acidification up by 30% and getting worse, with insect populations crashing, with extinctions happening many times faster than the background rate, and so on.

But that doesn't mean we should stop trying!

Because EVERY bit of natural habitat preserved is essential. EVERY species saved from extinction matters. And EVERY tenth of a degree of warming makes a big difference.

Collapse can't be prevented, I’m afraid, but the level and severity of that collapse could be lessened IF decisive action is taken immediately. But that will never happen under our current regime of capitalist domination.

We need system change, and we need it now.

What oil companies say: "We can use carbon capture and storage technology to help save the climate! All we need is billions of dollars more in government subsidies every year."

But in fact the whole thing is a scam, because "almost 80% of all the CO₂ captured by existing CCS installations has been reinjected into oil fields – to pump more oil." 🤦‍♂️
