I'm a broken record on this but we absolutely do not talk enough about the fact that ~20% of injected CO2 for EOR-CCUS can be microbially converted to methane. coupled with lax MVA regimes, EOR "storage" could easily produce a net increase in GHG emissions!

As my teacher Donella Meadows said, when systems science & wisdom traditions point the same way, when the analytical & the intuitive line up, pay attention. I'm grateful for all the systems teachers and all the contemplative teachers - may we heed them now in this critical moment for life on earth.
So grateful to @bethsawin.bsky.social for (re) posting this beautiful thought, which i first encountered on Twitter (before you know what) and which I’ve been quoting ever since
Such a clear expression of the connection between the false idea of our separateness and systemic suffering and injustice

For capitalism to keep operating it has to convince you that you are thing that ends at the boundaries of your body rather than a flow connected to uncountable others. After all, you can't really profit off extracting from yourself.

Insanity inducing how bad international companies are with moving countries. I got my Google account subscription for storage when living in Sweden, so I still have to pay this sub in SEK. So a Google play code I buy in euro cannot be used to pay this subscription

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that
