It is really reducing the efficiency rate and upping the personal risk factor! I may resort to ride by...

Biggest scariest story of this time.
Yet hardly anyone is talking about it.

Antarctica is going to be an interesting one when it melts. Straya has a huge chunk of unclaimed rights as does NZ and Norawy (they are on the other side of the globe). Add in a sprinkle of dubious claims from the usual USA/Russia and it's all fun and games. Plenty of resource under there and no traditional owners to contend with either. Who said cheap petrol is dead?

I doubt very much that a country's exploration of mineral resources in Antarctica will be a "thing" if Antarctica melts.
The survival of the human race would be more prevalent, driven by war & food production breakdown...
There's this totally misguided assumption that we can adapt. Only a fucking idiot would think we can adapt.

Unfortunately there's a lot of them. And even more that just want to deny it because they don't want to/can't comprehend having to make minor compromises in their lives.
(EDIT - I'm not perfect in regards to emissions. I could/should do more to reduce the amount of single use plastic I incidentally buy, could order less bike parts from O/S, etc... But I consciously chose to live close to work, not drive a big V8/4WD, not own and have to heat/cool an open-plan double story house, fly overseas, etc...)

Australia's Ocean Odyssey: A Journey Down The East Australian Current
A landmark documentary series that takes a spectacular journey from the Great Barrier Reef down to Antarctica, revealing the ocean currents that create life on our planet, and what we can do to protect our planet's beating blue heart.
iview.abc.net.au
In episode 3 which screened last night, they talk about how Antarctica is literally the beating heart of the ocean system that drives our planet.
The paradox of CSIRO where the public owns owns a research vessel discovering all the things about climate change, while also scanning for oil and gas reserves in the ocean. I suppose the "I" can't be taken out of CSIRO but IMHO Australia could do well by placing another S in there for Sustainable.

Fully agree. I'm unsure what to do to on a personal level to be honest though. I'm trying to reduce my consumption of single use plastics, minimise fuel usage, reduce recreational travel, grow a little of my own food, etc... but not sure what to do past that tbh. Honestly, it's hard not to think the planet's fucked (for ongoing human existence anyway) - but it's not like it couldn't be saved in this moment. Realistically though - I just can't see enough people even willing to consider making changes in their lives. And if you can't even get that sorted, we're fucked when it comes to making decisive, broad changes to our financial systems, lifestyles, resource consumption, transport methods and population numbers. Sadly people are people, and if it doesn't immediately effect their immediate family, they generally don't give a fuck - double down on that with the fact it might effect their income and I really really can't see much happening until it's too late.

For those interested but can't listen to whole thing; environmental stuff starts around the 30 min mark, bike industry specific starts around the 46 min mark with the carbon conversation from about 53 mins.

Such a rad dude. Here's a good one on total lifecycle of bikes:
How soon does a bike pay back its initial carbon footprint?
I'm thinking about switching my daily commute from four wheels to two. But I'm concerned about all the energy it takes to manufacture and ship a new...

CC will affect high fire danger locations before those who live in the city. Once we have our next few huge fire seasons and people can't reinsure their properties, eyes will be opened.
Fire & drought will hit Straya, floods will hit other countries harder. But CC will affect everyone.
That sexy french accent is too much for you?
I like it because it was about the bike industry that for the most part is all about updating luxuries for recreation. Made me reflect.

I could listen to Yoann all day. The boss is less keen for 80 mins of MTB chatter though
