Bread and Circuses<p>Excerpts from an essay titled "The Great Energy Transition Myth"...<br>_______________________________________</p><p>Forget everything you thought you knew about energy transitions. </p><p>In his new book "More and More and More: An All-Consuming History of Energy," Jean-Baptiste Fressoz dismantles the comforting narrative that humanity has transitioned from one energy source to another. We never really transitioned at all. We just piled on more energy sources to the older ones, intensifying our overall consumption.</p><p>Take coal for example. While it became dominant during the 19th century, vast quantities of wood were still needed to support the coal economy – to build mines, railways and infrastructure. </p><p>This pattern continues today. Despite the rise of renewable energy sources like wind and solar, global consumption of fossil fuels remains at record highs.</p><p>"Transition" has become capitalism’s favourite disguise.<br>_______________________________________</p><p>FULL ESSAY -- <a href="https://theclimatehistorian.substack.com/p/the-great-energy-transition-myth" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theclimatehistorian.substack.c</span><span class="invisible">om/p/the-great-energy-transition-myth</span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Economics</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Environment</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Climate</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BusinessAsUsual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BusinessAsUsual</span></a></p>

Bread and Circuses<p>Take a look at this superb graphic from Zack Labe (<span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fediscience.org/@ZLabe" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>ZLabe</span></a></span>). Zack is, by the way, someone you really should be following if you care about the climate. </p><p>Arctic sea ice is the mostly thick ice that floats on the Arctic Ocean, covering the North Pole and much of the area around it. That ice has been there for millions of years, sometimes growing in extent and sometimes shrinking, but generally holding at a steady level.</p><p>Now it is disappearing.</p><p>What you see in this graph is not a “natural” fluctuation. It is a direct and predictable result of greenhouse gases warming the atmosphere. This should not happen — and it would not happen if it wasn’t for capitalist commerce and industry wrecking our planet’s ecology.</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Environment</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Climate</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a></p>

Robert Sanscartier<p>Climate change is no fad or Johnny-come-lately in science. Rather, our knowledge has grown over 168 years, since an American scientist first discovered the heat-trapping properties of carbon dioxide. Over time, it has become more and more certain that humans are causing climate change and that continuing down that road poses great risks. In his efforts to expunge climate science, Trump is trying to wipe out the results of many decades of scientific research</p><p><a href="https://legal-planet.org/2025/04/07/a-timeline-of-climate-science-1856-2023/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">legal-planet.org/2025/04/07/a-</span><span class="invisible">timeline-of-climate-science-1856-2023/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>climate</span></a></p>
