We can’t solve our climate-ecological predicament with the tools that created it. Geo-engineering, ‘renewables’, and new ‘green’ policy all depend on the continuation of ecocidal business-as-usual. Instead of these dead-ends, take action for a #JustCollapse!

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 New article: https://theconversation.com/not-such-a-bright-idea-cooling-the-earth-by-reflecting-sunlight-back-to-space-is-a-dangerous-distraction-223353

“…the rapid declines in ecological health over the last few centuries are not due to fossil fuels either being finite or emitting CO2, but because that’s what abundant energy does in the hands of a human supremacist culture… you can’t have 20th-century life without a heck of a lot of energy, and without a heckContinue reading “Unsustainable goose chases”

What is our predicament? Meaningful change depends upon an understanding of our climate-ecological predicament – otherwise we are working in the dark. #overshoot

Facing collapse: “This requires courage… Courage to use less and expect less. Courage to help others come to these same conclusions, and not wish for fantasies, or mislead them into believing in some sort of escape. Courage to forgive humanity and to forgive yourself for being complicit in being a part of our collective predicament… Courage toContinue reading “Facing collapse requires courage”

Given our global climate-ecological crisis, which for these four scenarios do you think is most likely? 2. Star Trek odyssey 3. Mordor dystopia 4. Dead planet #TalkCollapse.

#CollapseCapitalism benefits from resource scarcity by exploiting basic needs and ‘hopeful’ desires. Making do with what we have, rather than upgrading to the latest green-washed product is part of a #JustCollapse. 

“Average global temperature will certainly pass 2 degrees by the late 2020s”. NEW SCIENCE, based on the growth patterns of sea sponges, reveals a startling truth: “So rather than the IPCC estimate of average global temperatures having increased by 1.2 degrees by 2020, temperatures were in fact already 1.7 degrees above pre-industrial levels”. #TalkCollapse becauseContinue reading “2C by late 2020s – new research”

#TalkCollapse because the #AMOC collapse is coming as early as 2025: “…when it happens, the changes are irreversible on human timescales.”  “…adaptation would be impossible.” “It will be devastating.” NEW ARTICLE: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/feb/09/atlantic-ocean-circulation-nearing-devastating-tipping-point-study-finds

REDLINING: 2024 is shaping up as a hell of a year. Two months in and the red line on this graph says it all.  Don’t just collapse, #JustCollapse.
