That is just really weird, they're just banning all the people who said no to them.

Oh god, Trumplethinskin hasn't found the site has he.

This is a good strategy to grow the region's population. Why don't we do this sort of thing? lol...

Better plan to grow Forest in a healthy and sustainable way... entirely arbitrary bans. Just play 'eenie-meanie-minie-mo' and ban whichever nation happens to be 'mo', then repeat.

We'll be the most famous region in NS... or is that "infamous"? I always get those mixed up :p

I just noticed that my puppet Taurgur is not in the top 10 of the Region for Unexpected Deaths. I suspect this is because everyone who goes their expects to die and, in fact, that is the only reason why anyone would go there. More research will be needed...

I would like to have a little fun, I want to change my motto but I do not know what too. Send me a telegram with what you think my motto should be and I will change it for several days. The first seven people to telegram me will win!

Argh, some Trumpbots in Wintreath have turned the vibrant RPing on their RMB into "Dems and rhinos [sic] need to work with Trump to build the wall because he promised it in his campaign and he won the presidency because Americans support that" nonsense.

The only sizeable economy in the world with a government that has the capacity to seriously tackle climate change is China - and though late in reaching this conclusion China is now rapidly becoming the world's leading planter of forests and reducer of its carbon footprint. Say what you like about them, the Chinese government takes the long view. In Europe and North America we'll continue wringing our hands and talking about having hybrid cars in 2040 while building new runways, eating strawberries in January and piling up the single use plastic. I wouldn't particularly want to live in China but I'm just saying.

Don't discount the power of municipal government when it comes to decarbonization. Many cities around the world have ambitious plans to pursue environmental sustainability. Perhaps unrealistically ambitious but the best-case scenario is that it happens from the bottom up rather than the top down. It is a global problem that could have a local solution.

On that note, I would like to encourage Forest to be mindful of municipal politics if you are not already!

I'll be out campaigning for elections soon enough. They've just finished changing the electoral boundaries to better exclude smaller parties, so I don't think we'll do as well this year.

Sadly it's going to be unrealistic. People are not going to give up what they have now and change their lifestyle until it's too late to do anything. Sh1t has already hit the fan and now we just wait how badly it's going to be. Don't want to be a party pooper, but realism is not very nice with this subject... We need lots of laws, harmtaxes and unwanted changes with consumerism, meat eating, building stuff and so on, so it's going to be lot's of forbidding and BIG NOES if we want to save humanity and try to prevent at least some species from the sixth extinction. For some it's already too late...

I know we need to leave this planet some day IF we survive this ecocatasrophe, but we can't be science religious and wait it to fix everything just like that. It can help but it won't solve anything with this speed and rate. I find it always funny when some people think that going to Mars is a good thing to at least try to save our species when we are really deep in this stuff and going down fast. Like going from fruitful Eden to really cold Hell ("temperature on Mars, with a common value being −63 °C (210 K; −81 °F") with lots of red sand... In our lifetime we are going to see some really horrible stuff, don't even want to think about the next generations too much...

On the bright side, it can hit about 30 °C on parts of Mars during summer days. 🙂

Indeed. I always get more than a little dubious about some sort of scientific miracle that will save us all. The Mars thing is particularly odd. While I'm nowhere near qualified to pass judgement on whether a Mars colony is possible (some sources say yes, others say no, most seem to say sort of) what I can say with certainty is that any Mars colony would be almost entirely dependent on Earth for supplies for centuries at the very least. We simply don't have the scientific understanding for terraforming to be anything but a very distant pipe dream.

Science can of course help. Bacteria that eat waste plastic, development of new battery technology, developing power cables that lose less electricity than current ones - allowing us to effectively turn deserts into solar power plants etc. Are all feasable and will help avert a true crisis.

The idea that science alone will solve these problems is however nonsense. We need to change the way we live, work and eat.

Don't get me wrong - bottom up is always better than top down if it's possible. I think we might just have hit one of those international difference things. For all I know municipal government in the US might be absolutely the business... but if you suggest to a Brit that the Council is going to save them from anything, never mind global warming, you can expect them to struggle keeping a straight face.

I can't help thinking that if we had the technology to make Mars habitable we'd be able to use it to undo the damage we've done to Earth and we wouldn't need to go anywhere. I mean, we're making a mess but we're not going to make Earth anything like as hostile an environment as Mars.

Yeah, it's called "an alarm clock". Try turning it off.

If I could even turn off any of my three alarm clocks, I fear the horrific consequences.

Them being never waking up again, never knowing when to use the restroom, and never having a cute little cat to shnuggle.
... truly a horrifying prospect.
