We have hit #PeakGlobalCivilisation. We face the potent and deadly combination of climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem collapse in concert with peak oil, peak agriculture (watch for the escalating food and fuel prices), disease, and geopolitical tensions. Collapse is not always triggered by one event or cause; it is often a process involving multipleContinue reading “Peak Global Civilisation”

Champagne anyone?
Environmental journalist, Robert Hunziker, in this 1 minute video, explains why we should all know the acronym, ESAS. Champagne anyone?
Population?
FAQ. What is Just Collapse’s position on population? The world’s human population will likely collapse to below 1 billion. This will be horrific and devastatingly, is inevitable due to ecological limits of a severely damaged planet. This population collapse will be grossly unjust with those marginalised, disadvantaged, and dispossessed impacted first and worst. None ofContinue reading “Population?”
Overshoot – not climate
Climate change cannot be fixed by fixing climate change – Prof Rees describes in this 2min video. We are in #ExtremeOvershoot – using 1.75 planets instead of the one that actually exists. This presents as a potent and deadly combination of biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and climate change. Climate change cannot be fixed. Net zeroContinue reading “Overshoot – not climate”
WTF?
What civilisation is Mann referring to that can survive 3 degrees of warming? Ignoring tipping points, non-linear feedback, biological and ecological system failures, this is the same magical thinking that allows the ecocidal behemoth to continue. #NewDenial
#NewDenial is the new delay
Every day a #PlannedCollapse is delayed, a horrifically unjust collapse becomes that much worse. Denigrating and silencing those who recognise the severity of our predicament and who work for the radical change, delays a #PlannedCollapse. Professor Michael E Mann and others in the #NewDenial are obstructing a #JustCollapse; a deliberate contraction of the human enterpriseContinue reading “#NewDenial is the new delay”
Denigrating climate activists is unacceptable and dangerous
Please sign and share this important PETITION: Celebrity climate communicator, Professor Michael E. Mann is controlling climate discourse by making inaccurate claims that downplay the severity of our predicament, labelling experts, activists and concerned citizens who disagree either ‘doomers’ and/or ‘bad actors’. This is unacceptable and dangerous. Professor Mann must stop controlling climate discourse andContinue reading “Denigrating climate activists is unacceptable and dangerous”
Exposing a gatekeeper
Distinguished Professor Michael E Mann has made a name for himself by stepping outside science and entering the political fray of climate politics. He promotes the idea that talking about #collapse is ‘doomerism’, and he is instrumental in shutting down conversations about the severity of our predicament, and the radical change required if we areContinue reading “Exposing a gatekeeper”
COP is ecocide
As well as failing on CO2, until a #PlannedCollapse of the human enterprise is on the agenda, COP is ecocide. The Earth is in #ExtremeOvershoot due to the legacy of colonization, the continuance of extractive industry, and infinite growth (e.g. energy, consumption, population). Planetary limits have been exceeded. Not addressing this is suicide. Seek justice!Continue reading “COP is ecocide”
