This is probably the most important newspaper article ever written, and every person in the world needs to properly understand what George has said here and in his thread. I can attest to the accuracy of everything George says. My own short thread below. https://t.co/nSJht6Djwd

@GeorgeMonbiot @cochranereturns Hi George - Here is support for your point. https://t.co/NnHWPzzsfw
@SteB777 -- Tue Sep 28 09:09:05 +0000 2021
@GeorgeMonbiot Exactly, I am tired of having to explain why this is a false argument, based on multiple logical fallacies.

@GeorgeMonbiot It's a crisis of when fantasy created by handful of very rich people, as a distraction, meets reality. It is just one great big mess.

@GeorgeMonbiot Thanks @GeorgeMonbiot, what a powerful statement against the illusion of green growth. For alternatives to "green growth" and policies to accompany the levelling down, check out degrowth and postgrowth. https://t.co/2Ai3d7t21L

This isn’t a climate emergency, or a biodiversity emergency, or a pollution emergency, or a soil emergency. It's a full-spectrum assault on every aspect of the living world. And our only means of stopping it is to level down. My column. https://t.co/95tjmW9VcW

It's unsurprising that @sapinker's book Enlightenment Now is loved by billionaires. It's a catalogue of system-justifying falsehoods. I analysed the environment chapter, and found it crammed with anecdote, cherry-picking and discredited claims: https://t.co/08JkTJp8IV
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Tue Sep 28 15:38:23 +0000 2021
He grandly claims his critics are "opposed to reason" or "opposed to the Enlightenment". It's more mundane than that. We're opposed to bullshit. More on this subject in Alex Blasdel's article today: https://t.co/Llp2ypqwbb

@chrisvivagogy @RTwin83 Could I check that you are aware of efficiency paradoxes? The Jevons Paradox and Khazzoom-Brookes Postulate, for example? (There are many more).
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:59:30 +0000 2021
@cochranereturns I didn't say it's not an issue. I said you are literally arguing with a mathematical function (demographic momentum). So I ask, again, what you intend to do about it.
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:58:30 +0000 2021
@chrisvivagogy That's not what I'm talking about. The waste you intend to use is already spoken for, many times over.
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:48:15 +0000 2021
@chrisvivagogy So the same "wastes" as everyone else is relying on to reduce their emissions. They've already been counted several hundred times over in the corporate and government net zero plans I've seen. But these are limited resources. Sorry to sound cynical, but this comes round and round
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:45:06 +0000 2021
@cochranereturns And now it's slowing towards a halt, the remaining growth driven by demographic momentum. Even 100% access to family planning (obvs a good thing) would reduce the remaining rate by only 1/4. So what's your solution to the existing population size? Genocide? Killing the firstborn?
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:38:36 +0000 2021
@chrisvivagogy Yes, but what's the feedstock?
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:36:16 +0000 2021

@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:25:42 +0000 2021
It's as if in everything we do and say, we have to separate ourselves from everything else, to cut the cords that connect us to the world. But that's just my personal opinion. Otherwise known as my opinion.
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:24:44 +0000 2021
Look at the language we use. "Individuals" is now widely used as a replacement for "people". We now attach the redundant prefix "personal" to almost everything. I mean, how can you have an impersonal friend? And how can you speak impersonally? ("Personally speaking ...")
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:20:16 +0000 2021
Mistaking complex systems for simple ones opens the way for an extreme individualism, that now governs political and economic thinking. People claim to be "self-made", to "go it alone", to "stand apart". But only because they have no understanding of the world that shaped them.
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:14:35 +0000 2021
Because we profoundly misinterpret our situation, everything we do to improve it has perverse consequences.
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:12:55 +0000 2021
In other words, in public life we use the wrong measures in trying to understand the wonderful, fascinating, amazingly complex planet on which we live. And its living systems. And human society. A complex system is as different from a simple one as a river is from a swimming pool
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:08:13 +0000 2021
Complex systems are entirely different, in properties, functions and outcomes, to simple ones. The world's composed of interlocking complex systems. Yet we insist on discussing and analysing it as if it were a series of simple ones. It's like using kitchen scales to measure light
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:04:09 +0000 2021
The highly simplified model of the world projected by politics and the media makes moral idiots of us all. In science and mathematics, extraordinary advances have been made in the understanding of how complex systems work. But these are not reflected in public discussion.
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:02:08 +0000 2021
Systems thinking helps us to edge a little closer to what Kant called the ding an sich: the world as it is, rather than the world bounded by our perceptions. Of course, we will never progress beyond a certain point, because our senses shape this thinking too. But ... Thread/

@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 06:09:37 +0000 2021
@cochranereturns It really doesn't. Growth is driven and captured largely by economic elites seeking concentrated wealth. And it's not an explosion either. Population growth rates have fallen to 1% a year and will keep falling.

Pinker is a smart guy, but he is clearly arguing for an a priori position, rather than reasoning from clear premises and data. Anyone who critically looks at his arguments can clearly see it. It's difficult because some of it is indeed true! Just not enough for his positions. https://t.co/8eKZeHvumE

@GeorgeMonbiot I thoroughly disagree with you all the time but this is a great thread. You're absolutely right complex systems are reduced to simple ones We then reduce simple ones even further to "2 x 2"'s with 1-2 metrics. And we loose a lot of information projecting dimensions that way.

@jasonhickel -- Tue Sep 28 09:17:05 +0000 2021
The objective should be to organize the economy around human needs and well-being. If toward this end we decommodify key goods and services, or legislate longer product lifespans, use-value will clearly increase even if GDP declines. We must focus on what matters.

@jasonhickel -- Tue Sep 28 09:16:44 +0000 2021
What much of the left does not grasp is that GDP growth represents increasing commodification and production as measured by exchange-value (prices), when clearly what we need is decommodification and production in terms of use-value.

On the new NSW 50% by 2030 target. Emissions have already decreased by 12% from 2005 levels, up to 2019. COVID-years = further drop.

It's not people's fault that their lives have been built around fossil fuel infrastructure - that so many need cars to get to work and to access services. But this crisis, and the domino effect we can see quickly unfolding before us, show exactly how brittle this system is.

The government handling of the fuel crisis shows just how pathologically out of touch they are. They keep saying “there is no shortage of fuel”. That’s their perception of the stocks at depots and refineries. At garages, where it matters - the pumps are off.

@dwallacewells -- Tue Sep 28 12:02:42 +0000 2021
@OlufemiOTaiwo I don’t think we can say for sure, at this point, the data is not so clear. But age skew is very strong for hospitalization and severe illness as well, and some studies suggest long Covid is closely correlated to severity (which most virologists would say makes intuitive sense).
@dwallacewells -- Tue Sep 28 11:33:44 +0000 2021
Which means we probably shouldn’t be giving those two groups the same advice about masks or social distancing or boosters.
@dwallacewells -- Tue Sep 28 11:33:25 +0000 2021
In fact, it distorts the picture of the pandemic as a whole when we regard risk as neatly divided by vaccination status. That’s because a vaccinated 95-year-old is still probably over a thousand times more at risk of death, all else being equal, than an unvaccinated 15-year-old.

@devisridhar -- Tue Sep 28 16:37:43 +0000 2021
Simple translation -> some people have a more protective version of a gene (called OAS1) that helps their body mount a stronger antiviral response, which helps protect against severe health outcomes. Other people have a version of OAS1 gene which doesn’t protect the body as well.

@keraoregan @wudanyan Totally, and this is why I always put in extra time & effort with community members or organizers. My original tweet was in reference to PR people, lawyers, execs who badger for coverage then ghost on interviews but this side of it is very real and I wish I knew how to fix it

This is all too common. Our jobs are 24/7 for investigative reporting & our time has to be carefully distributed. It’s also important to acknowledge there’s always instances where we fail to follow-up on pitches as well - it’s just not possible for us to cover every lead. https://t.co/B1oQbQkN2k
