Governments and the IPCC are lying, in the face of inevitable collapse. Net zero policies are ‘emperor’s new clothes’, academics warn. Net zero targets are a ‘fantasy’ that often just protect ‘business as usual.’ They describe Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), stating that ‘it has been estimated that BECCS could demand an area ofContinue reading “Emperor’s new clothes”

#TalkCollapse. Talking about collapse is a matter of justice. Everybody has the right to know what is coming. If you know, then you can take action. Seek justice! Take action!

FORUM RECORDING: Approaching Collapse – some do’s and don’ts [edited] For those who attended, or couldn’t make it, please continue the forum discussion in the comments here. Infinite growth on a finite planet has pushed us into crisis, and this forum tackles the difficult questions and taboo topics: Bursting the fantasy of sustainability based onContinue reading “Approaching Collapse video”

CO2 is not the problem. Even if emissions are cut tomorrow, collapse is still inevitable. This week, the other COP on biodiversity expresses, ‘…grave concern that the unprecedented and interrelated crises of biodiversity loss, climate change, land degradation and desertification, ocean degradation, and pollution, and increasing risks to human health and food security, pose anContinue reading “CO2 is not the problem”

Western democracies are failing on climate-ecological collapse. We need MORE democracy today: fully informed populations; an end to corruption and nepotism; a rolling back of draconian protest laws. Foster a #collapseconscious citizenry and give power back to the people! Some think that authoritarianism is a ‘fix’. This is naive. Collapse cannot be ‘fixed’. Authority ofContinue reading “More democracy not less”

Almost all countries are in ecological overshoot. But the lions share of overshoot lies with the Global North, with developed countries. This is where the hard work must take place. A #plannedcollapse is a #justcollapse. Seek justice! Take action!

Like climate-COP, there is another COP failing to put an end to planetary destruction. Biodiversity is its focus, and it’s happening now in China. The climate and biodiversity crises derive from #ExtremeOvershoot that can only be tackled by ending infinite growth on a finite planet. A #PlannedCollapse is a #JustCollapse. Seek justice, take action! https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-11/cop15-china-aims-at-reversing-biodiversity-loss/100524696

On the limits of sustainability? We are in #extremeovershoot. Sustainability is a myth, a fantasy. We are heading for a horrific #unplannedcollapse. A #plannedcollapse is a #justcollapse.

Its time to talk collapse. https://andmed.medium.com/contemplating-collapse-should-we-speak-about-it-more-and-if-so-how-b835e32cd13c

Reducing CO2 emissions to zero tomorrow still leaves us heading for collapse. ‘…climate change is not even the real problem; ecological overshoot is… ‘Overshoot’ occurs when humanity consumes bio-resources faster than ecosystems can regenerate and waste production exceeds nature’s assimilative capacity… In effect, the growing human enterprise is literally consuming and polluting the biophysical basisContinue reading “Overshoot not CO2”
