Jonathan Schofield…if we keep focusing on the technological wins and doing NOTHING AT ALL to manage demand we’ll keep manifesting a Pyrrhic victory <a href="https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/112095290545697095" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/112095290545697095</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climateDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climateDiary</a>

Jonathan SchofieldIn *how is decarbonisation going?* news…In 1990 we instituted the IPCC to formally tell ourselves that we were committed to decarbonising our economies. 35 years later an electric-powered US plant has produced the *first ton of steel* with only oxygen as a by product: <a href="https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/green-steel-produced-without-co2-emissions" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/green-steel-produced-without-co2-emissions</a>Over the same 35 years global steel production has increased by 246%: <a href="https://worldsteel.org/data/world-steel-in-figures-2024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://worldsteel.org/data/world-steel-in-figures-2024/</a>And apart from the 1 ton…producing steel creates 1.9 times more CO2 than it does steel <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climateDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climateDiary</a>

Jonathan Schofield…An extract from Paul Hawken’s ‘Miraculous Carbon: Celebrating the Book of Life, Death and Potential’:“For industry, the changing climate is seen as an engineering problem, not a crisis of behaviour, consumption or disconnection.There is a tacit assumption that the current fossil-fuel-based energy system can be swapped out for renewables, and the privileged can continue to live the way they do.This is magical thinking.”<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climateDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climateDiary</a>

I still mask up, but ~ it does get difficult to breathe in a mask at 12:30 PM at 36°C ~ especially when chronic pain makes it hard for me to breathe even at home.

Jonathan Schofield…On 1 day in about 1,500 of making no committed demands, we vote for parties petrified of any substantive change at all, and then are passively dismayed when no change comes… from a place where change has never begun <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climateDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climateDiary</a>

Jonathan Schofield…we show with our own aggregate behaviour that we don’t care, and then are surprised and angered that big capital doesn’t care. We share memes of people like Frederick Douglass saying things like “Power concedes nothing without a demand” but we make no demands. Guess what happens to supply. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climateDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climateDiary</a>

Jonathan Schofield<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climateDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climateDiary</a> We say we want to resolve climate change but we don’t want to do anything that makes resolution possible. We address a creeping 275 year old dilemma with finance only interested in quarterly returns. And now that the predicament is noticeably accelerating, we deploy… - too slow change in a subset of end use, but no change in how that subset is manufactured - unmodified eating and travelling behaviour that we have some power to change, but don’t.Guess what happens
