1. From the comments at the 1st link:


Alarms not working? Critical systems bypassed? Safety systems inoperable for months on end? Failure of backup systems?

This is unacceptable. This safety culture is unacceptable.

People in denial of resource limits, Peak Oil, Global warming? Mono culture agriculture, excessive use of pesticides and herbicides, antibiotics? Destruction of rain forests, ocean fisheries, sensitive ecosystems? Failure of ecosystems that have been pushed past tipping points and are no longer able to recover and support us...

This is unacceptable. This safety culture is unacceptable.

But we continue with BAU regardless of all the accumulated knowledge that a change of course is urgently needed. Economic growth, pedal to the metal! Drill Baby Drill!

KABOOOOOM!!!! Uh, what happened?! Nobody could have seen any of this coming...

Are humans safer than yeast?
