The #flyingless movement is gaining traction!

It’s time for organizations to get on board. It’s not a huge ask: simply encourage members to fly less and support this behavior wherever possible. @AmericanAnthro @theAGU @TyndallCentre @KevinClimate @jasonhickel @Malena_Ernman https://t.co/144QP2UG8M

In the 1850s farmers in Hälsingland in Sweden built astounding neoclassical wooden palaces for themselves. The level of sophistication and the workmanship is unlike anything seen since. Seven remain today. This is a two-and-a-half story farmhouse for two families, ca. 1857. pic.twitter.com/a5B7J0aHX1

For sheer beauty, the bee houses of Carinthia and Slovenia are unbeatable. Starting in the 18th c. peasants would decorate the front end boards of the hives with colorful, often biblical, paintings, the famous "panjska končnica". pic.twitter.com/olfgOctqbS

Here’s my statement of realistic optimism:

If everyone realized the true urgency of the climate emergency and acted accordingly, we’d “solve” it in a matter of years (dodge worst impacts). No biggie.

So all we have to do is choose not to fail. There ARE solutions.

"Science and reason is the best we have" is a statement that is both pseudoscientific & irrational. It conflates science and scientism. Science is rigorous, makes no claims outside a v. narrow domain.

"Tradition, risk management, and Skin in the Game is the best we have".
