It's a shame that they are the only two nice seasons in Japan.

„The world is fast approaching temperature levels where insurers will no longer be able to offer cover for many climate risks, said Günther #Thallinger, on the board of #Allianz SE, one of the world’s biggest insurance companies. He said that without insurance, which is already being pulled in some places, many other financial services become unviable, from #mortgages to #investments.“ #climatechange #climatecrisis

The #Petrofuture of France, Nord, with bits of other countries. I posted these a few months ago, so scroll down far enough and you'll see them again. This series is based on a set of 1969 Shell Oil maps.
"The carbon tax that had an effect on prices of carbon intensive products - that was not making affordability worse. The average Canadian was made better off because of the rebates that were associated with the carbon tax."
"Never try to solve an income problem with prices. This is not a price problem. Affordability is about incomes; affordability is not about prices."
China, often cast as climate villain, emits per capita no more than average while the West’s historic carbon gluttony dwarfs all.
Yet China, still developing, now leads the world in renewables, EVs, and early peak emissions. Their secret? A system that values people over profit, unshackled by fossil fuel lobbies. Meanwhile, the West sabotages the very cooperation our overheating planet demands. The math is clear: solidarity or catastrophe.
As might be expected from a capitalist, the worry expressed here is not so much that the breakdown of Earth’s climate and environment threatens extinction for millions of species — including our own — and it’s not so much about the cost in human terms to poor communities in the Global South who will suffer the earliest and worst outcomes.
No, the biggest concern is that capitalism might be in trouble. 
How awful! Nothing could possibly be worse than that!!

#talkcollapse: "#Climatecrisis on track to destroy capitalism", says an insurer, but he really means is "climate crisis on track to destroy our business model".
'Cause capitalism ain't going nowhere until the world is drowned or burned to a crisp...

@inthehands That's what people don't get.
When they're told "society will collapse" they think in Hollywoodian terms and it seems too farfetched.
No, society will collapse because it won't be able to function, plain and simple.
Capitalism shocked to learn that money requires a habitable planet to exist. Study confirms: ‘No economy on a dead Earth’—but don’t worry, shareholders will be the last to drown!
