Western societies moved from zero-sum to positive-sum economy thanks to tech advances. Comparing timelines, "tech advances" appears to be mostly a euphemism for fossil fuel upscaling. So yes, economical positive-sum, but by basically selling earth's energy balance.

Breaking out of the Malthusian trap: How pandemics allow us to understand why our ancestors were stuck in poverty
The Industrial Revolution ended the Malthusian trap in which incomes were determined by the size of the population — making it possible for a country to leave abject poverty behind.

Many people think about cold in Northern Europe if the Atlantic Ocean current system #AMOC fails. But that wouldn’t be the only problem for Europe by far.

📢 New paper on the impacts of AMOC collapse on European hydroclimate. 🌊
We find an AMOC collapse would exacerbate drought conditions across Europe, linked to reduced precipitation. In combination with climate change droughts are expected to become more frequent and severe.

Australia’s tropical forests are the first known to have switched from a sink to a source for atmospheric carbon.

Australia’s tropical forests now emit CO₂, clouding the COP30 talks
These tropical forest CO₂ emissions may warn of similar shifts in other regions, a key topic for COP30 climate talks in Brazil.

In summary, the outlook is grim. It is highly likely that Thwaites Glacier will eventually be lost, which will destabilise adjoining parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, increasing the committed long-term rise in global mean sea level by more than 3 m.

1. It's fascinating to see, as you can from the responses to the post below, how many daft things people believe, to justify their continued meat eating. So let's examine a few of the common myths in the following thread. 🧵
For years, there's been a massive over-emphasis on food miles, and a massive under-emphasis on food type.
By far and away the best dietary decision you can make, for environmental, humanitarian and public health purposes, is to cut out animal products.

De Wever na VN-top: 'We zitten dik in de miserie'
Met een pleidooi voor internationale samenwerking en tegen de dictatuur van de sterkste heeft premier Bart De Wever (N-VA) een punt gezet achter zijn eerste VN-week in New York. Een week waarin hij overtuigd raakte van het nut van die ‘praatbarak’, maar bezorgd over Oekraïne. ‘We moeten minder janken over Trump en harder werken.’
