The removal of the peer reviewed status of the Seibert and Rees paper ‘…has all the markings of a political face-save, pure and simple. The mainstream renewables camp is a big power player. It has a lot of money and a lot of big names with careers vested in the narrative of business-as-usual by alternativeContinue reading “Scandal update”

‘…the strategy of collapsing ahead of the rush is not going to be a popular thing to suggest. When I’ve brought it up… I’ve inevitably fielded a flurry of protests, by turns angry and anguished, insisting that it’s not reasonable to expect anybody to do that’ ‘…those who put their hopes on grand political transformations,Continue reading “Collapse now and avoid the rush”

At a ground-breaking event on collapse (Oct 2021), academics and activists spoke at the University of Tasmania, including the authors of the highly read and controversial Energies paper, ‘Through the Eye of a Needle: An Eco-Heterodox Perspective on the Renewable Energy Transition‘. One audience member observed: ‘I listened to it live and constantly found myselfContinue reading “Brace for impact”

SCANDAL has broken out concerning a highly read, ground-breaking paper that presents evidence against the viability of renewables to ‘save’ us from overshoot and argues, instead, for the necessity of a deliberate contraction of the human enterprise. Under pressure from third parties, the Editor of the journal Energies, Dr Enrico Sciubba, has reneged on theContinue reading “Scandal in #NewDenial”

We are in deficit. After nearly 50 years of #overshoot, there is no surplus for making the world over as ‘green’, ‘electrified’ and ‘sustainable’. The Earth’s carrying capacity is severely diminished and continues to be diminished at an astounding rate. We can’t afford climate action that supports a ‘green’ version of the status quo. RadicalContinue reading “We are in deficit”

Hopium, Mann, and collapse – reflections from Professor Elliot Jacobson: ‘The suffering brought on by overshoot and collapse is evident everywhere. Species in record numbers are going extinct. Our fellow humans are dying from heat, starvation, thirst, floods, fires and disease… Quite simply, many of us would make different choices if we knew with absoluteContinue reading “Hopium, Mann, and collapse”

An amusing short video on breaking the news without hopium. Our predicament is #ExtremeOvershoot. We (mostly the west) have extracted, burnt, processed and consumed our way into mass deficit, using 1.75 planets each year rather than the 1 that exists. #TalkCollapse #EndHopium

‘Dangerous’ is one of the words we use in the petition to Professor Michael E Mann. Atmospheric scientist and celebrity climate communicator, Professor Mann is calling for social media censorship of citizens and experts concerned about the severity of our climate-ecological predicament and collapse. Mann claims these people do the bidding of Big Oil.   Whilst Mann’sContinue reading “Dangerous call for censorship”
