The only climate change policies that will ever be acted upon are those attempting to divert the suffering elsewhere.

they will also pass policies giving more money to corporations to make up for when climate change hurts their profits

I'd go one step further and say that the resources which could go doing something will instead be spent, deliberately, on making the situation worse.

Now lay the risks out and develop a resource plan and strategy for the next 5 years and present it to the board and welp it's in their hand now and sorry the answer is 'review in a year and turn that oil production up' :clint:

...so does Australia's mafia talk with an Italian accent, an Aussie accent, or some kind of aussie-italian hybrid?
my friend from the nsw riverina explained there's an italian-australian dialect there that uses random english nouns. all the nicest italian words got substituted out for the ugliest english alternatives. "so we don't say il melanzane, we say il eggplant. and we don't say il auto, we say il car." in the broadest australian accent you could imagine.

The Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit, a London-based think-tank, estimated that last year’s COP26 in Glasgow – as a whole – contributed 0.00022% to a year’s worth of greenhouse gas emissions.

It also said that, if delivered, the pledges made at COP26 could lead to emissions savings 72,200 times larger than emissions produced by hosting the summit.

"if delivered"

what a perfect microcosm of the global response to climate change

so current pledges, if honored, would reduce annual emissions by ~16%.
to just get back to 1995 (cop1) levels, we'd need to reduce emissions by >33%.
:thunk:
(a 16% reduction would be like going back to 2005-level emissions)

Not since I was a kid.

Don't worry. Just means your soil is hosed. Add mulch, water and keep doing that until the worms come back. Uh, give it some time. Making bad soil into good soil takes a while.

edit - When in doubt add trees for shade and water retention.

Definitely still around, and I see them occasionally, but they do seem less common. Same as everything else excepts mosquitoes, really.

Yeah, that was a real :psyboom: moment for me too. Now there's 3 species in the interior of the province they think might be native from ancestors that survived in unglaciated refugia. Surprised they didn't evolve fur coats while they were at it.

Lots of earthworms here but that would have something to do with multiple large compost heaps and a manure pile. If you build it they will come. My neighbour paid some Gulf Island hippie $25 for a package of red wigglers when he started composting. If I'd known I would have given him a couple of scoops from my kitchen waste composters and only charged him :10bux:. I fail at capitalism.



So after the endless summer we had 10 days of fall (along with 2 atmospheric rivers) and we've been hit with wet snow and below freezing temperatures for the last three days. I'm thinking it's not good to have your fruit trees still fully leafed out with frozen snow on them. Hopefully there won't be too many dead tips come spring.




Like everbearing raspberries common figs have two crops during the year - an early Breba crop on last year's wood and a later ripening main crop this year's growth. We mainly grow San Pedro varieties that produce a large Breba crop and pick off the main crop figs when they're little because they won't have enough time left to ripen. Some experts think we should leave them on just in case the stars align and we have enough heat in the fall to ripen them. I think we can safely file that idea in the bit bucket. Despite our endless summer none of the main crop ripened, just fell off when the atmospheric rivers hit.

Like the other deciduous trees I have a bad feeling about next spring's growth.



But sure, let's just run rail lines north and start hauling dirt up there, or ramp up our plastic and energy needs to grow everything hydroponic or aeroponically. I'm sure with a bit of ingenuity it will all work out fine.
