SIMPLY MIND-BOGGLING – 38.5C above average temperature in Antarctica: “…if we had a 40C rise in the UK now that would take temperatures for a spring day to over 50C – and that would be deadly for the population”.  No technology, culture, or politics can stop the inevitable. #TalkCollapse for a #JustCollapse.  New article: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/06/simply-mind-boggling-world-record-temperature-jump-in-antarctic-raises-fears-of-catastrophe

Critically endangered Great Apes at risk from ‘renewables’ transition: “The large overlap between mining areas and areas important to apes is partly because many of the minerals needed for the energy transition are in places that have not yet been industrialized… This means that current climate solutions could lead to more industrialization in these places,Continue reading “Great Apes at risk from ‘renewables’”

(Eco)fascism, coming to a democracy near you in 10 easy steps: “Many fascist regimes grow organically from democracies… Today, as economic and environmental crises build, many countries around the world are unknowingly opening the door to fascism.” Will you recognise it when it happens? #TalkCollapse for a #JustCollapse. Insightful article: https://www.collapse2050.com/how-free-societies-choose-fascism/

What’s your experience? Ever tried talking collapse with friends, family, or workmates? Communicating the severity of our climate-ecological predicament is an act of distributive justice – everybody has the right to know so they can take action for a #JustCollapse. #TalkCollapse Campaign: https://justcollapse.org/action/

Who will deliver ‘clean’ energy to our homes and industry? Big Oil. Who will supply the energy to produce solar panels and wind turbines? Big Oil. Who profits at both ends? Big Oil. A ‘clean’ energy transition is a myth because it depends upon the fossil fuel industry. It only adds to energy supply andContinue reading “Who profits at both ends?”

Claims around who is, and is not, a fascist can be overblown so our intention is not to point fingers. Instead, in this two-part blog, we define eco-fascism and draw attention to how business-as-usual, including ‘green’ versions, are eco-fascism writ large (Part 1) and describe how some ideas within the climate-environment movement also channel eco-fascist sentiments (Part 2). Those supporting, and working, for equity and democracy are facing someContinue reading “Part 1: The climate crisis and our (eco)fascist future”

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
