DoomsdaysCW<p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Degrowth</span></a> can work — here’s how science can help</p><p>Wealthy countries can create prosperity while using less materials and energy if they abandon <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EconomicGrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EconomicGrowth</span></a> as an objective. </p><p>By Jason Hickel, Giorgos Kallis, Tim Jackson, Daniel W. O’Neill, Juliet B. Schor, Julia K. Steinberger, Peter A. Victor &amp; Diana Ürge-Vorsatz, 12 December 2022</p><p>Excerpt: "The global economy is structured around growth — the idea that firms, industries and nations must increase production every year, regardless of whether it is needed. This dynamic is driving climate change and ecological breakdown. High-income economies, and the corporations and wealthy classes that dominate them, are mainly responsible for this problem and consume energy and materials at unsustainable rates.</p><p>"Yet many industrialized countries are now struggling to grow their economies, given economic convulsions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, resource scarcities and stagnating productivity improvements. Governments face a difficult situation. Their attempts to stimulate growth clash with objectives to improve human well-being and reduce environmental damage.</p><p>"GDP is getting a makeover — what it means for economies, health and the planet</p><p>"Researchers in ecological economics call for a different approach — degrowth. Wealthy economies should abandon growth of gross domestic product (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GDP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GDP</span></a>) as a goal, scale down destructive and unnecessary forms of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/production" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>production</span></a> to reduce energy and material use, and focus economic activity around securing human needs and well-being. This approach, which has gained traction in recent years, can enable rapid <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/decarbonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>decarbonization</span></a> and stop ecological breakdown while improving social outcomes. It frees up energy and materials for low- and middle-income countries in which growth might still be needed for development. Degrowth is a purposeful strategy to stabilize economies and achieve social and ecological goals, unlike recession, which is chaotic and socially destabilizing and occurs when growth-dependent economies fail to grow.</p><p>"Reports this year by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IPCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IPCC</span></a>) and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biodiversity</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ecosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ecosystem</span></a> Services (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IPBES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IPBES</span></a>) suggest that degrowth policies should be considered in the fight against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateBreakdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateBreakdown</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biodiversity</span></a> loss, respectively. Policies to support such a strategy include the following.</p><p>"Reduce less-necessary production. This means scaling down destructive sectors such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuels</span></a>, mass-produced meat and dairy, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FastFashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FastFashion</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/advertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>advertising</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cars</span></a> and aviation, including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PrivateJets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrivateJets</span></a>. At the same time, there is a need to end the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PlannedObsolescence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PlannedObsolescence</span></a> of products, lengthen their lifespans and reduce the purchasing power of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rich</span></a>.</p><p>"Improve <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublicServices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicServices</span></a>. It is necessary to ensure universal access to high-quality <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HealthCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HealthCare</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Education</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Housing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Housing</span></a>, transportation, Internet, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewableEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RenewableEnergy</span></a> and nutritious food. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UniversalPublicServices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniversalPublicServices</span></a> can deliver strong social outcomes without high levels of resource use.</p><p>"Introduce a green jobs guarantee. This would train and mobilize labour around urgent social and ecological objectives, such as installing renewables, insulating buildings, regenerating <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecosystems</span></a> and improving social care. A programme of this type would end unemployment and ensure a just transition out of jobs for workers in declining industries or 'sunset sectors', such as those contingent on fossil fuels. It could be paired with a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UniversalIncome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniversalIncome</span></a> policy.</p><p>"Reduce working time. This could be achieved by lowering the retirement age, encouraging part-time working or adopting a four-day working week [and hybrid or remote work]. These measures would lower <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CarbonEmissions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarbonEmissions</span></a> and free people to engage in care and other welfare-improving activities. They would also stabilize employment as less-necessary production declines.</p><p>"Enable <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sustainable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sustainable</span></a> development. This requires cancelling unfair and unpayable debts of low- and middle-income countries, curbing unequal exchange in international trade and creating conditions for productive capacity to be reoriented towards achieving social objectives.</p><p>"Some countries, regions and cities have already introduced elements of these policies. Many European nations guarantee free health care and education; Vienna and Singapore are renowned for high-quality public housing; and nearly 100 cities worldwide offer free public transport. Job guarantee schemes have been used by many nations in the past, and experiments with basic incomes and shorter working hours are under way in Finland, Sweden and New Zealand.</p><p>"But implementing a more comprehensive strategy of degrowth — in a safe and just way — faces five key research challenges, as we outline here."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-04412-x" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nature.com/articles/d41586-022</span><span class="invisible">-04412-x</span></a></p><p>Archived version:<br><a href="https://archive.ph/AtJ87" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/AtJ87</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FourDayWorkweek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FourDayWorkweek</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RemoteWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RemoteWork</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HybridWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HybridWork</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CircularEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CircularEconomy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CapitalismKills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CapitalismKills</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RightToRepair</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectMotherEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectMotherEarth</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuyLess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BuyLess</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuyNothing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BuyNothing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LibraryOfThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LibraryOfThings</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a></p>

INFERNUM1488<p>Russian aviation: real progress or imitation of success?<br>Introduction<br>The recent successful flight of a Superjet aircraft with Russian PD-8 engines was presented in the Russian media as a landmark event in the history of domestic aviation. However, in order to objectively assess the significance of this achievement, it is important to consider it in the context of the general situation in the Russian aviation industry, compare it with international standards and analyze the real pace of development of the aviation industry in Russia.<br>Why is it important to analyze this event?<br>Import substitution and the reality of production – Is Russia really capable of independently producing competitive aircraft engines? How much does current achievement reflect real progress?<br>Comparison with world leaders – What production volumes and technological level do Boeing, Airbus and Chinese COMAC demonstrate? Is Russia lagging behind, and if so, by how much?<br>Long term prospects – Is Russian aviation capable of entering the world market and reducing dependence on foreign technologies?<br>This article examines the current state of the Russian aviation industry, analyzes the achievements presented and compares them with global trends.<br>The Superjet prototype successfully completed its first flight with Russian PD-8 engines in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The test lasted about 40 minutes, during which the plane reached a speed of 500 km/h and an altitude of 3000 meters. The crew noted the stable operation of the power plant and the completion of the flight mission.<br>PD-8 is a two-circuit turbofan engine with a thrust of 8 tons, designed for the Superjet and the Be-200 amphibious aircraft. During its development, technologies used earlier in the PD-14 engine were used. Engine certification is expected to be completed this fall.<br>Previously, Superjets used Russian-French SaM146 engines, which were dependent on foreign suppliers. Development of the PD-8 began in 2019 as part of the import substitution program. According to the plan, completely domestic Superjets with Russian airframes, avionics and engines will go into mass production by 2027.<br>Sources:<br>Rostec (state corporation)<br>Komsomolskaya Pravda (pro-Moscow media)<br>Stated "facts" from sources:<br>First flight with Russian PD-8 engines – tests took place in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, the plane was in the air for 40 minutes, reached 500 km/h and an altitude of 3000 m.<br>Crew composition – Dmitry Demenev, Igor Grevtsev, Maxim Gryukanov.<br>Engine PD-8 – double-circuit turbofan, 8 tons of thrust, designed for Superjet and Be-200.<br>Previously used SaM146 engine – Russian-French, with problems in operation and dependence on foreign suppliers.<br>Development of PD-8 began in 2019 – within the framework of the import substitution program.<br>Until the end of March 2025 – transfer of two more experimental PD-8 engines for testing.<br>Certification of PD-8 is expected in the fall of 2025.<br>Completely imported Superjets – production with Russian components is planned, serial deliveries to airlines from 2027.<br>40 aircraft are planned to be transferred to airlines.<br>Should I disassemble next?<br>Accepted. I'm starting to analyze the algorithm.<br>1.
