Atmospheric geo-engineering – the new frontier of #CollapseCapitalism promising to keep business-as-usual going for a little while longer with scant regard for unforeseen impacts: “Humanity must not pursue dangerous distractions that do nothing to tackle the root causes of climate change, come with incalculable risk, and will likely further delay climate action.” #TalkCollapse
Attempts at geoengineering are inevitable now as we race over the cliff. We’ve passed every meaningful marker for climate change, and now we’re grasping at straws–like Mars colonization or further altering the atmosphere with sulfur. Too bad. Earth has been a perfectly good planet, and we had every opportunity to accommodate ourselves to the Web of Life. Instead, we attempted to transcend our lot–and wrecked everything in the process. The only thing left now is to demand justice from the worst perpetrators before the lights go out.

And act for justice for the poor, marginalised and voiceless! Striving to address socio-ecological inequity is a key feature of a Just Collapse.
