Alan Kohler joins team realist. Actually I normally call it team doomist, but I don't want anyone to misconstrue my intention. "Doomist" started out at a pejorative, but now we use it with pride.
"It is worse, much worse than you think", as David Wallace Wells said in "The Uninhabitable Earth".

For added context, Independent MP Monique Ryan (Kooyong) (who was probably in that confidential briefing on the ONI report) held a Town Hall forum on climate security 3 weeks ago. It is the first and so far only MP forum focussing on climate security, and featured Climate Analyst David Spratt and Admiral Chris Barrie. Watch it.

It is very important to ask three questions:
1.) How do spaceship and satellite launches impact our environment, in particular the #thermosphere?
https://mastodon.social/@HistoPol/113295593037140652
2.) Who is the main culprit of this unsustainable development in orbit? (see below)
https://mastodon.social/@HistoPol/111141586398331386
(Translation: see #AltText)
3.) How do we combat it?
“Oceans last year reached their highest levels in 3 decades — w global sea level rate rising higher than expected, according to NASA-led analysis. The unexpected rise in global levels is alarming, particularly for regional impacts around coastal cities, many of which are already experiencing more damaging flooding” #ClimateCrisis

Remember when Trump solicited a billion dollars from the fossil-fuel industry?
“Trump cuts target world-leading greenhouse gas observatory in Hawaii”
This is it! Hurrah!! Today is the big day!!!
If you're a United Statesian like me, today is the day — March 13, 2025 — when we have reached our country's maximum annual allotment of ecological consumption. If everyone on Earth lived like we do in the USA, there would now be nothing left to consume for the rest of the year. It would be all used up.
So, as of tomorrow, everyone here will stop driving, stop flying, stop shopping online, and...
Wait, what? That's not how it works? We're not going to stop??
Oh shit.
