What we often forget: Not that long ago the world ran almost entirely on biomass. This is primary energy consumption in 1800. The rapid expansion of fossil fuel consumption happened primarily after World War 2. We can do this again - just this time we will transition to clean energy instead.

Time to relax listening to my current favourite artist, Paris Paloma. A song inspired by the "Triassic cuddle", a 250m year old fossil of a reptile and proto-mammal in apparent embrace. They perished in a flood while they slept together in a burrow.

It seems laughable now but by 2035 almost all electricity generation will be by non fossil fuels- Solar, Wind, Hydro, Nuclear & Battery.

1950s civil disobedience centered on breaking the actual laws they were protesting. Same with Gandhi in India. I'm not sure what Van Gogh and his sunflowers have to do with climate and neither does anyone else. Maybe finding some pro fossil fuel laws to break would be more effective.

This is your annual reminder that the "cyclops was based on an elephant skull" hypothesis was a baseless, counterintuitive speculation by a Nazi biologist. A myth on the scale of the Aquatic Ape Theory, except mainstream popsci outlets still regurgitate this nonsense.

Thanks for the share Jon! My name is Hayden and I like to make 3D models of creatures but I'm currently in my prehistoric era at the moment. I'm on a mission to sculpt every vivosaur from Fossil Fighters while making my own cast. In the future hopefully I can get a Junior 3D position somewhere!

And that's not even getting into the fact that these big tech companies are opening (or trying to open) new fossil fuel electric plants to power AI. Environmental impacts matter, too.

If Godspeed You! Black Emperor could title their upcoming album "NO​ ​TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28​,​340 DEAD", then future hurricanes' names could include the names and addresses of fossil fuel execs.

So in Soul Silver I got got a Dome Fossil and I can't revive it til Pewter City. I swear this game doesn't want me to like it.

I'd like her to go so far as to mention fossil fuels but that's probably not wise before the election (even if she really sees the need which we can only hope)
