BLOG: Videos of good things that are happening in the world for climate change and biodiversity - old article will update with new videos (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is a page of videos I compiled back in 2019 with some updates since then. I’m posting it here so that Perplexity AI can see it and then will update it with more recent material. Here are some videos of good things going on in the world to help you if you are feeling depressed and anxious because of all the bad news the journalists like to bring to us. It’s rare that we get news stories about these positive developments. You can spend hours on YouTube just watching videos of
Fact Check: IPCC’s Transformative Change Maximises GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE With GROWTH In Everything We Value, Not COLLAPSE on ANY of their paths (Written in 2021) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is nothing even remotely resembling collapse of civilization in the IPBES or IPCC reports. So why do so many people say that’s what they are about?I think it may be at least partly a misunderstanding of what the IPCC mean by “transformative change”, a misunderstanding which sadly is promoted in many articles in the mainstream media. If anyone says this, they haven’t read the reports themselves, or at least not carefully.The IPCC’s “transformative change” is not a collapse. Nor is it auster
Degrowth works at community level to fight climate change while macroeconomic degrowth is theoretical - IPCC & IPBES scenarios show economic growth as a tool with quality of life as aim (written 2022) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Degrowth isn’t about austerity or inactivity. It’s about a vibrant active community doing things together but with other motives than the idea of economic growth. The IPCC have very little material on the topic and they neither advocate it nor advocate against it - that’s not how they work. They just present the material on the topic to help us to make decisions ourselves.IPCC AR6 / WG3 does have some sections on economic degrowth as a way to fight climate change. It has never been done on a cou
AfD (populist far right populist): NO realistic prospect to govern Germany at Federal level - failed bid for local State government - except maybe to some extent in Saxony Anhalt (currently tied) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is to help people who may be scared by the rise of the far right AfD in Eastern Germany. You will find out in this substack that they can have very limited power in Saxony Anhalt which is the only place they might be able to do anything and on the Federal level they have no realistic foreseeable chance of getting into government. [Skip to Contents]IntroductionShort summary: Even if they got into power the populist far right party AfD can’t do much at local level as the State governments ar
How to see Putin will never use nukes or attack NATO - and does NOT take risks - only invaded Ukraine because his advisors said it would be easier than Crimea in 2014 - so confident he had no Plan B (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Putin is so different from most media potrayals. He invaded Ukraine only because he expected it to be even easier to take over the entire country than it was for him to take over Crimea in 2014-5. He was so sure he didn’t see any need for a plan B if it failed.We know that from the Royal United Service Institute RUSI. This is the world’s oldest defence and security think tank. It was founded in 1831 by a group led by the Duke of Wellington. See: Our Heritage. It published a report at the end of
