Global warming will get worse until annual net carbon emissions plateau. Even then, it won't get better, it will just stop worsening.
And simply adding renewables to the overall mix of available energy sources won't stop the burning of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels have to be specifically banned.

Just read the letters of my great-grandfather, a Boston architect in the Gilded Age. While not a business-person, he seemed to enjoy much luxury, including crossing the Atlantic many times (from 1855-1902) in steamships that burned much coal. Some awareness of #poverty & #imperialism, but not much action I could see. We've been ignoring #unsustainable impacts of #growth for a long time, a type of #climatedenial.
"How can SA possibly snub its most critical trading partners [...]? [...] for the #ANC, there is something far more important than trade and economic #growth – and that is survival.
[...] #SouthAfrica’s economic #collapse will force it into the clutches of some or other lender of last resort.
For those that value [...] #democracy, #freespeech and the rule of law, being an indentured debtor to the likes of #China will be a nightmare.
The ANC has chosen this endgame."
Well... Your team should rethink their strategy *REAL FAST* >:3c

Without census data, countries are not able to measure or understand patterns of population growth or urbanisation.
The more detailed, up-to-date, and high-quality the data, the better-informed policies and programmes can be.
@FantasticalEconomics @jwcph @breadandcircuses
For what it's worth, I think JW is the one making the most coherent points here, by quite a large margin.
Whatever theoretical claim can be made about technology bettering things is dim when seen in context because it's really clear that markets love an externality, and so if someone bent on growth can say that it's possible that somehow that growth can be compensated for, then that compensation becomes the responsibility of someone else or the market. The problem is that unless people are held to account in that, the theoretical balance that Kyle is claiming has about zero chance of happening. And we have far too little time to be waiting on such miracles.
In practical terms, which is all we can focus on in the extraordinarily limited time humanity has left on earth, it's more correct to say that the theoretical options Kyle sees are just smokescreen that will enable continued ills. Maybe your intent is better, Kyle, but if so it's blinding to to a practical effect that is likely VERY negative.
The problem is simple: We have an addiction to growth. We are practiced at it. We enjoy it. We have developed habits around it. But it is killing us. None of that will be fixed by creating theoretical discussions about how there's a world in which reform is not necessary. There might be such a world. But if we are not making plans to get there, taking steps aggressively that get us there within our window of healthy life, then the theoretical case is irrelevant. We're addicts who have rationalized not quitting.
But also, with every crank of the winch, creating more reliance on tech, we also create potential energy waiting to snap if something goes wrong, something slips, and the system unwinds. If an acre of land can support 10 people but we find tech to have it support 100, that's great but if that acre of land is lost to a storm, let's say, then 100 people will starve, not 10. Every time we rely on tech to help us live past capacity, we up the stakes that way. They noticed a similar thing in airplanes as they figured out how to pack them tighter and tighter: when a crash happens, more die.
So I decided at some point that the test of carrying capacity of the planet is not the steady state on a good day kind of measure, but rather the ability of that system to withstand crashes, the temporary unavailability of parts of it, etc. We are not prepared for disaster. Shareholder capitalism treats robustness and sustainability as economic inefficiencies to be removed because they generally don't show on the quarterly bottom line except as an expenditure with no benefit. It's hard to quantify a counterfactual.
We need metrics not of Gross Domestic Product but of Gross Domestic Sustainability, of getting ourselves to a system that is robust against the kinds of catastrophes that are potentially forseeable to encounter. Economic, political, and weather/climate. A company or product that does not measure up as highly sustainable and robust against potential problems should be taxed very heavily so that the state can make preparations in lieu, so that there is no way for a company to make money by shortcutting sustainability.
Presently the reason people like Trump so much is the sugar high he creates in businesses by allowing them to pretend to profit by eliminating safety and sustainability and other environmental "red tape" that he sees as superfluous. This serves a culture in which profits are regularly harvested from companies into private bank accounts that cannot be drawn back out of when we see what a horror these profiteers have left us. They are racing to suck all the value out of the world before it collapses.
For a brief parable on this, see my 2009 essay "Hollow Support". It's not about climate, but about how markets under shareholder capitalism like to invest and what the consequences of that are:

The Q4 (Jan-Mar) GDP and the FY 2022-'23 estimates flatter to deceive. Fact is the Indian Economy did "grow", but for whom and by whom.
For instance, the 7.2% economic growth is largely powered by the "services" sector, contributing nearly 60% of the overall GDP.
This is why I call our "vaunted" fastest growing major economy an One Pony Trick.

The word #degrowth is scary and makes people shut down. There must be a more inspiring word one can use, and here is a candidate: #sufficiency.
"In high-income nations, a smaller #footprint does not mean worse living conditions. #Sufficiency policies focusing on frugality, resource reduction, and work time reduction can significantly increase wellbeing and decrease environmental pressures, therefore creating the possibility for sustainable #prosperity without #growth."

The Potential Economic Impacts of Various Debt Ceiling Scenarios | The White House
New analyses by both the Congressional Budget Office and the U.S. Department of the Treasury suggest the United States is rapidly approaching the date at which the government can no longer pay its bills, also known as the “X-date.”
History is clear that even getting close to a breach of the U.S. debt ceiling could cause significant disruptions to financial markets that would damage the economic conditions faced by households and businesses.
Real time data indicate that markets are #already #pricing in political #brinkmanship related to Federal government #default through higher #risk premia.
An actual breach of the U.S. debt ceiling would likely cause severe #damage to the U.S. economy. Analysis by CEA and outside researchers illustrates that if the U.S. government were to #default on its obligations—whether to creditors, contractors, or citizens—the economy would #quickly shift into #reverse, with the depth of the losses a function of how long the breach lasted.
A protracted default would likely lead to severe damage to the economy, with #job #growth swinging from its current pace of robust gains to #losses numbering in the #millions.

The inaugural talk of our seminar series on #degrowth will take place online on 30th March, 2 PM CEST. Everyone is welcome!
@MatthiasSchmelzer will present “Degrowth 101: A critical introduction to green growth and transformation”.

Economic growth isn’t working, and it cannot be made to work. Offering a counter-history of how economic growth emerged in the context of #colonialism, fossil-fueled #industrialization, and capitalist #modernity, the lecture explains how the ideology of #growth conceals the rising #inequalities and #ecological destructions associated with #capitalism, and points to desirable alternatives to it. It begins by outlining the hegemony of growth and then moves on to discuss the critique of growth and proposals for degrowth policies. Building on a vibrant field of research, it discusses the political economy and the #politics of a non-growing #economy. It charts a path forward through policies that democratize the economy, #now-topias that create free spaces for experimentation, and counter-hegemonic movements that make it possible to break with the logic of growth.

I will not defederate from VC (venture capital) backed ventures. I will compete and flourish while providing the best service I can regardless of whatever they do.
I believe in positive action.
We should be rising to the challenge to beat VCs at their own game and funding instances to provide living wages for admins and mods.
If the community wants to change how businesses raise capital to pay living wages and build cool things, then i hope that wins. I really do. ❤️
Users should vote with their hearts, minds, and wallet.
after all, what good is open APIs, Open Source and Open Protocols if we’re the ones weaponizing them and taking them away from others? The very thing we claim VCs have done to us?
You have the choice; you have the power. Support the world you want. Me choosing that for my users is in opposition to the very fabric of being open.

We're in the middle of a massive #BusinessTransformation. As companies come off a period of unsustainable growth and overhiring, #layoffs are rampant. What's next is anyone's guess.
How a company deals with layoffs and its critical employee stakeholders intersects uncomfortably with its espoused purpose. This week, Dr. Dorothea Baur helps us think through this and the #ESG considerations of layoffs.
From there, we find hope in a #sustainability talent gap, representing a pivot to purpose for some #JobSeekers.

Been trying to be less on social media, it’s not that easy as you probably know. Doesn’t help that there’s so few people irl I can actually bare to talk with.
This whole human thing is weird, isn’t it.

Quotes: “The province says it's expanding the logging deferral of old-growth forests to 2.1 million hectares, while bringing in new innovations to better care for #forests.”
“…the government… will be repealing outdated wording in law that prioritizes #timber supply over issues like #water #quality and #wildlife #habitat.”

I have seen many social networks in the past, but the funny thing maybe unlike others, I experience the fastest growth of followers on mastodon. It was way faster than on all other networks in the past.

#Biden: "We have created 12 million #jobs since I took office. That means we have created more jobs in 2 years than any presidential term in 2 years. That's the strongest two years of job #growth in history by a long shot.
Here's where we stand: The strongest job growth in history. The lowest #unemployment rate in 54 years. #Manufacturing rebounding at fastest rate in 40 years. #Inflation coming down. Real wages going up ... the Biden economic plan is working.” #economy

Politicians remain wedded to #growth as the solution to all problems. But that growth has gone. "To all intents and purposes, we're already living in a kind of #postgrowth economy. But we haven't figured out how to make that work."

"The problem here is that we need to update our analysis of the relationship between productivity growth and equality. They once grew together: as the economy grew, so did workers’ share of a rapidly growing pie. But that link was broken in the 1980s. Whether the economy was stagnating or growing, the rich have been taking a bigger slice of the cake for decades now"

The scientific method isn't perfect, but it does require rigor, intentionality, and a tolerance for failure, which should be reframed as learning opportunities.
The cost of inaction (not running an experiment) may be high.

Fantastic and eerily on target write-up from Justin Etheredge about the 20 things he's learned in 20 years doing software development https://www.simplethread.com/20-things-ive-learned-in-my-20-years-as-a-software-engineer/
Some great tips in this piece about finding a mentor with intention and how to go about creating a mentoring relationship.
"The right mentoring relationship can be a powerful tool for professional growth — it can lead to new career opportunities, a promotion, even a better work-life balance."

@cdevroe Exactly.
Venture capitalists demand rapid #growth to justify their investment, even if it isn't the best priority for a company.
The #fediverse isn't a company and doesn't have investors, so why do we care if we grow? Let's just be.
We have an opportunity here to deviate from Silicon Valley’s dogma of infinite growth and demonstrating a more sustainable and cooperative way of existing that limits the growth of individual instances in favour of nurturing a sustainable ecosystem.

My suggestion is that when forge federation is implemented, we at @Codeberg should decide on how many accounts is to be our limit and close off registrations at that number (and maybe implement a one-in one-out system).
Afterwards, the mission of Codeberg should evolve to focus on improving @forgejo and supporting other organisations in setting up and running their own instances, while ensuring Codeberg runs smoothly for currently members.
