i actually made this last night and then didn't eat much of it. i'm going to try to get through it tonight, but it might be three or even four days of soup.

it's far more like soup, now.

===============

- take a full package of oxo cubes and let it sit in a bowl with water, stirring until it dissolves. this will be intense beef gravy.

- chop up broccoli florets

- chop up an entire bulb of garlic

- chop up 75 g of kale stalks

- chop up thawed or defrosted broccoli stalks and put them in a blender. use a 375 g margarine container full and refill for next pot.

- add chopped up citrus peels. also use 375 g margarine container and refill.

- add a full carton (1 L) of unflavoured, unsweetened soy milk

- blend a little, just to cut it up a bit

- using a frying pan,

- start with olive oil margarine

- i'm chopping up kale stalks instead of celery. fry them in the margarine for two minutes, covered.

- add the entire bulb of chopped garlic. fry for another two minutes, covered.

- put the contents of the frying pan in a pot

- add the blended mix with a 1/2 box of vegetable or chicken broth (500 ml) and the bowl of dissolved oxo cubes

- add the chopped broccoli florets

 - let this come to a boil (uncovered)

- cook it half-covered on low for 30 minutes. stir regularly, checking for overflows.

while it's cooking, 

put the bacon on first. i'm using an entire 375 g pack.

put the following in a bowl:

- chopped fresh dill

- two avocados (chopped)

- also, grate some cheese (200 g monterrey jack, 200 g mozzarella, 200 g cheddar, 200 g marble)

- chop up some bread (this time, i'm using up the remaining sourdough)

- put the contents of the pan in the bowl

- put the bacon with the grease and oil in the bowl

- add the following: 

- frank's

- pepper

- cayenne

- oregano

- cumin

- paprika

- dried dill

- jalapenos

- add bread

- add cheese

- broil to melt cheese

when done, add the following on top:

- nutritional yeast

- hemp seeds

- ceasar

- fresh broccoli florets

======

update: this soup is extremely filling. i am going to suggest making the pot and dumping it in a bowl but instead of adding cheese and bread and broiling in a big bowl, it should be partitioned into a small bowl and prepared independently.

the only way to reduce emissions is to stop burning carbon altogether.

if the logic behind "fuel efficiency" is that you're working on carbon transition and need a short term solution, it should lead to less overall emissions, and makes sense. however, both the government and the industry have made it clear that that's not the point at all.

if the logic of "fuel efficiency" is to use less fuel now so you have more for later, which is how most consumers think (they think they're "saving energy"), then what you're doing is just allowing the gas companies to sell the same amount of carbon to you for a higher price over a longer period. this is a way to maximize profit, it's not a way to reduce emissions.

at the end of the day, it won't matter if you burn x amount of carbon to create a set amount of emissions in ten minutes or ten years. it doesn't wear off, it builds up. it's irrelevant what the rate of emission is.

you're not saving energy at all, you're just paying more for it in the long run by creating artificial scarcity around it, and they're confusing you because you've been trained by the economists to think about the world in a backwards and illogical way, and you're too stupid and ignorant to realize they've brainwashed you.

the state of california is catastrophically overpopulated. some small percentage of that population will survive in the region, but it will need to come down by 60%, 70%, 80% as the climate shifts.

nobody is coming to save california.

canada would be wise to steer clear of it.

i forgot the fires.

i apologize for the oversight.

dear california,

you are not going to ship water from around the world to save yourself. you are going to collapse amidst heat waves and droughts, and most of you are going to die. then, the earth will swallow you and spit you into the ocean, because you're a bunch of assholes, anyways.

you'll have to deal with that.

i don't fucking care.

canada should focus on integrating the great lake megalopolis and the bos-wash / new england mega region and forget about arizona bay. 

the civilization is unsustainable, and it will and should collapse, and we should not try to save them or help.

energy efficiency will have no benefit to the climate.

if we're not doing transition, you're just getting ripped off for profit.

it's transition, or barbarism.

carbon is not a currency.

you can't "save emissions". you can't trade them. you can't offset them. you can't store them for later. that's all a bunch of bullshit.

the idea that energy conservation is going to reverse or slow down climate change is fundamentally wrong and a misunderstanding of climate science perpetuated by stupid conservatives that want everything to be a family budget, because they can't understand anything else.

no, carbon emissions are not like your grocery bill. that's retarded.

carbon transition is not about saving the carbon to burn it later, it's about eliminating carbon as an energy source altogether, and relying on sources like hydro and geothermal. carbon transition will get nowhere if it's bogged down by conservatives confusing the issue and reducing it to energy conservation.

further, electrical use has nothing to do with the climate at all. there is no reason to minimize electrical usage, unless you're stuck in the industrial era, and haven't converted your grid to renewables, in which case i pity your country. you should be converting your grid, not reducing electricity.

likewise, fresh water is a renewable and plentiful resource, unless you're dumb enough to try to live in a desert, in which case you should correctly die of thirst. california is thirsty? well, that's what happens when you build a civilization in a desert, you fucking retards. yes, you're all going to die, and you all deserve to die, too. what does that have to do with a sustainable society in the great lakes? we don't need to "save water". it's everywhere and it's renewable. california can go fuck itself.

whether you burn x amount of carbon now or burn x - y now, and y later, makes no effect to the climate. climate change is not about the rate of emissions, it's about the sum of emissions. if you're going to burn it anyways, you'd might as well burn it all now. burning it slower won't make any difference to the climate.

...because the climate is not an economist. the climate doesn't give a fuck about your homo economicus bullshit.

the group that does care about this is energy speculators and energy investors, who profit from artificial scarcity. this warped climate logic is perfectly good economic logic and if they can trick you into it they can inflate energy prices, and make you think saving it saves the planet, when it really just rips you off.

carbon taxes are not intended for you to reduce your energy use, they're intended to get you to change your energy source. but people didn't understand, and maybe it wasn't specific enough for them to.
