So no flights no commuting for a bulk of last year - Emissions declined in 2020 by 5.9 per cent mainly due to Covid-19 ->

I just don't see how things can be reversed unless we all go back to the stone age...we are 0.1% of total global emissions. We already have in Ireland 1 in 3 struggling people facing high/extreme bill stress over crippling fuel costs, while a staggering 25% did not run heaters at winter (One Big Switch poll).

And we need to drive for fusion as well, never mind the naysayers, the prize is too great (and too urgently needed) not to pass up on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITER

Interesting critique of ITER and everyone else involved in fusion research's manner of communicating their current progress and potential here:

Don't worry, Eamon Ryan  will find a way to tax us out of the problem. Think positive about it. Every time a poor person dies it reduces their carbon footprint by 100%. I swear not one of those toads in Dail Eireann have ever had to live on a budget.

This is 100% not satire, btw.

Like a cross between Jurassic Park and Fyre Fest. I look forward to the documentary.

I wouldn't be one to wish ill on anybody but if this shit is real, and I have major doubts about it, I wouldn't mind if a tsunami wiped that island off the face of the planet.

I'd say it could be an elaborate scam. It's something that I will only ever see from the sidelines anyway so bring on the next phase.

Maybe I could auction an NFT of my amusement and disdain for NFTs.

QuoteI've been collecting these personal items for about 30 years, and I was getting a bit fed up with them being locked away in a vault, where I've had to keep them because I didn't want them to get damaged.
So instead he's going to take a few photos of them, and then they go back in the vault?

It's a bit like the old ebay ploy of sending you a picture of the actual item...except you know what you're getting in this case...crazy stuff...

I was wondering about that too. Who fuckin' knows.
