Where are we? How did we get here? Where are we going? All summarised in this 3 minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HvTj7ilxds #JustCollapse #TalkCollapse

OMG! 1.6C global yearly average has been reached. This means that the Earth’s temperature over the last 12 months, on average, is 1.6C above human recorded 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline. There’s no turning this ship around. Don’t just collapse, #JustCollapse! Graph compiled by Professor Eliot Jacobson.

In this wide-ranging interview, James Cox talks collapse with #JustCollapse. We discuss climate change as part of overshoot, how to build capacity for collective responses, and how many people and places are already living in the grim end of collapse.

Deep sea mining for the ‘renewables’ transition is not the lesser of two evils. It is business-as-usual in green clothing. “Simply stated, mining the seabed is a new mega-weapon in the human supremacist regime that is destroying Earth … The ecological criminals disguised as green-economy knights sell deep-sea mining with thinly veiled blackmail.” Don’t justContinue reading “Green-economy knights fighting for deep-sea ecocide”

SIMPLY MIND-BOGGLING – 38.5C above average temperature in Antarctica: “…if we had a 40C rise in the UK now that would take temperatures for a spring day to over 50C – and that would be deadly for the population”.  No technology, culture, or politics can stop the inevitable. #TalkCollapse for a #JustCollapse.  New article: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/06/simply-mind-boggling-world-record-temperature-jump-in-antarctic-raises-fears-of-catastrophe

Critically endangered Great Apes at risk from ‘renewables’ transition: “The large overlap between mining areas and areas important to apes is partly because many of the minerals needed for the energy transition are in places that have not yet been industrialized… This means that current climate solutions could lead to more industrialization in these places,Continue reading “Great Apes at risk from ‘renewables’”

(Eco)fascism, coming to a democracy near you in 10 easy steps: “Many fascist regimes grow organically from democracies… Today, as economic and environmental crises build, many countries around the world are unknowingly opening the door to fascism.” Will you recognise it when it happens? #TalkCollapse for a #JustCollapse.

What’s your experience? Ever tried talking collapse with friends, family, or workmates? Communicating the severity of our climate-ecological predicament is an act of distributive justice – everybody has the right to know so they can take action for a #JustCollapse. #TalkCollapse Campaign: https://justcollapse.org/action/

Who will deliver ‘clean’ energy to our homes and industry? Big Oil. Who will supply the energy to produce solar panels and wind turbines? Big Oil. Who profits at both ends? Big Oil. A ‘clean’ energy transition is a myth because it depends upon the fossil fuel industry. It only adds to energy supply andContinue reading “Who profits at both ends?”

Claims around who is, and is not, a fascist can be overblown so our intention is not to point fingers. Instead, in this two-part blog, we define eco-fascism and draw attention to how business-as-usual, including ‘green’ versions, are eco-fascism writ large (Part 1) and describe how some ideas within the climate-environment movement also channel eco-fascist sentiments (Part 2). Those supporting, and working, for equity and democracy are facing someContinue reading “Part 1: The climate crisis and our (eco)fascist future”
