Faced with unprecedented global warming, climate scientists are now speaking out about the true severity of our predicament. #TalkCollapse because everyone has the right to know.

A global civilisation ending event, coming soon: “A 2021 study found the ice shelf could shatter within the next five years, and last year scientists said the Thwaites Glacier is hanging on ‘by its fingernails’ as the planet warms… ‘Despite it being so remote, the consequences of what happens on Thwaites will impact everybody,’ DavisContinue reading “Doomsday Glacier – hanging ‘by its fingernails’”

“When do we know that a civilization is on the verge of collapse? In his now almost 20-year-old classic, Diamond identified three key indicators or precursors of imminent dissolution:” 1. Persistent and worsening environmental change. 2. Agriculture and production aggravating the crisis. 3. Elites failing to act. Got that sinking feeling? Professor Emeritus Michael TContinue reading “3 indicators of collapse”

Its not only species going extinct. 73 genera have disappeared in a “mutilation of the tree of life… Pictured in terms of the tree of life, if a single ‘twig’ (a species) falls off, nearby twigs can branch out relatively quickly, filling the gap much as the original twig would have. In this case, theContinue reading “Mutilation of the tree of life”

As #overshoot continues at pace, this Chris Madden cartoon illustrates the inevitable collapse of a financial system untethered to climate-ecological reality. Don’t just collapse – #JustCollapse!

We are definitely f….ed! Only one of these boundaries needs to be ‘transgressed’ to bring about the collapse of habitable Earth. We’ve not only transgressed six, we’ve smashed four out of the park and into another dimension. Read the full paper here. Get real – #TalkCollapse because this is collapse.

“Any reasonable interpretation of previous histories, current trends, and complex systems dynamics would hold that global MTI culture is beginning to unravel and that the one-off human population boom is destined to bust… wide-spread societal collapse cannot be averted… Global civilizational collapse will almost certainly be accompanied by a major human population ‘correction’”, Professor BillContinue reading “Inevitable major population correction”

Irreversible climate-ecological collapse changes politics and action. Activism has been about building a better, brighter future. Now it must be about easing the inevitable descent – first and foremost for the poor, marginalised and voiceless. In this video, Associate Professor Kate Booth talks about the politics of #InsurgentPlanning for a #JustCollapse.

Associate Professor Kate Booth, co-founder of Just Collapse, connects climate-ecological collapse, accelerating withdrawal of insurance, the inevitable trajectory of urban planning towards #InsurgentPlanning, and the immorality of promoting a growing global population in times of escalating food scarcity.
