Today I am proud of myself for not saying to literally kill the Supreme Court in Climate Rights/Law class, and merely said "lock 'em up" through massive abuse of the justice system, then pack the various courts. I'm mature now.

We'll lock them up there through the various mechanisms of the precious *****justice system***** and what happens happens. It's surely more humane than how we treat Palestinians, refugees, migrants, American prisoners, the poor etc etc. I'm a mature lib now.

The class ended with a professor from PA talking about bringing climate legislation against the government: "I think of [climate change litigation as] getting the right puzzle piece or turning the combination on the lock.”

I said it's already too late and that idea is ridiculous because the game was rigged from the start even if it wasn't too late. He basically said in reply "yeah but what if we find the right piece?"

Also I did want to start with "In the words of Benny from Fallout: New Vegas," but unfortunately I was pressed for time.

There was one thing I agree with the class on. You can use law "creatively" and with "imagination" to help with a given issue like this. But my idea of "creatively" is, as I said, locking up the SCOTUS. It isn't trying over and over again on getting the right magic words to convince Gorsuch to gorsuck my dick.

I've read the first third of The Gods Themselves and it hits close to home. A scientist discovers that the world's primary source of electricity, the "electron pump", is going to make the Sun explode. But he can't convince people to stop using it because they need that cheap power.

Oh, holy rabble
We art ensnared to quiver liketh rippled air
Diocese of did melt sand
Worship with thy chroming hand
Coal-black clad horizon maketh landborn petromyzon
Summon forth thy motor spirit
Drink the fuckin' gas and killeth
Light the fuel
Propagate oxygen and heat
Deify motor spirit
Kiss goodbye the weak
Oh, holy frontier art unbound
Thee kiss thy god, I kisseth ground
I holdeth flame yond burns at night
A seraph of Isiah's light
Touch thy lips and purge thy skin
Holy water, eyes within
By thee, we sleep and die for you
Ignite m'lord, we ride for you
Motor spirit
Motor spirit
Black buckets everywhere, brimming, spewing millionaires
Rotting ancient zooplankton squashed below the megaton
Sweet juice on my lips, motorized apocalypse
See metal crunch and hear it
Highway death by motor spirit
Light the fuel
Propagate oxygen and heat
Deify motor spirit
Kiss goodbye the weak
High octane aviation
Gasoline leak inhalation
Paint chromer, broken home
Bloody stool, gasket blown
Pop the bonnet, oil check
Fire pious side effects
Guarana drama, damage control
Sniffing, huffing ethanol
Motor spirit
Motor spirit
Motor spirit
Motor spirit
Dividing non-believers
Fly my octane spirit weaver
Burnt rubber, grave robber
Fire starter, spark imparter
Un-water, fun porter
Sun mortar, manslaughter
Motor spirit, don't fear it
Buy a ticket, button flick it
Kill the rigid, burn the bridges
Pick the stitches, drink the riches
Engine Gaia, piston wheeze
The messiah on their knees
Beg the wind, beg the tree
Beg the bug for mercy
Motor spirit, dragon race
Burning cars, outer space
Petrol king, abdicate
Humankind exonerate
Dire fate shall plague our land
Hurricanes shall sweepeth sand
The winds doth howl and moaneth
Homes and lives overthrowneth
But hark, brave occultists, bold
Rise to save the world from cold
Weaveth magic spells with care
Banish the hellish nightmare
Dance beneath the moon's bright glow as
Charms they work to and fro
But alas, fire doth grown despite witches' ebb and flow
Fires rage with wild intent destroying all they present
The heat doth scorch the landeth
Naught but ash in thy handeth
End doth near
We cannot hide as the earth doth shake and writhe
Turn to sin with hearts sincere
Block the way that led us here

We may not be able to cap temperature rise to 2 C, but here’s the thing, if we work really hard we may be able to cap it at 2.5 C instead of 3C. Or 3 instead of 3.5 C. That extra centigrade might mean the difference between whether Bangladesh is underwater. It might make the difference as to whether 100 million people have to migrate or only a few. That matters; it makes a difference. It’s worth fighting for. That’s a lot of people.

Full working fusion with our current system would be a disaster, the same way "green" energies currently are too: they are used additively to all the other forms, never in replacement. If "free" "limitless" energy was to be invented, we would simply use it to dig up more oil and make more plastic.

burning wood for energy is carbon neutral because the trees grow back! (in 80 years)

in fact you can even burn loving peat for energy because it also regenerates technically choo choo let's loving gooo
