WHEN SHIT HITS THE FAN: “Superaffluent individuals and neighbourhoods may seek — and partially succeed — to hole up behind heavily guarded walls or even to try to relocate to Mars. For the rest of us, this is not an option… The experience of fighting a fire in a small peri-urban hamlet serves as graphicContinue reading “For the rest of us, this is not an option”

Star Trek, AI, infinite growth, nuclear, net zero, sustainable development, green new deal, ‘renewables’ transition, fossil free, circular economy, degrowth, post-collapse fantasies… Welcome to 2024! All these responses fail to address the reality of our global predicament – #overshoot. What other magical and fantastical ‘solutions’ can you add to the bag? 

What a year it’s been… We are taking a break until January and we would like to thank everyone from across the Global South and the Global North who engaged with us in 2023. This includes all those talking collapse, and the 7000 people who downloaded our ‘Little Book of Insurgent Planning’! Wow! Together weContinue reading “What a year its been…”

THIS WEEK, the world crossed 2C of warming – for the first, but certainly not the last time. In this poignant Breaking Green podcast, German climate activist Dr Tadzio Mueller presents a powerful case for a #JustCollapse: why collapse radically changes politics and action, and how we can work together to fight fascism and fosterContinue reading “Dr Tadzio Mueller on #JustCollapse”

#PeakEverything – water, food, energy… this is where global industrial civilisation is at. What next? “Systems have the tendency to increase their degree of complexity more and more and thus to become more and more susceptible to collapse by the smallest triggers. This is true for any chaos-mathematical system, for any physical system and, ofContinue reading “Peak everything?”

Proclaim loudly – THIS IS COLLAPSE! Everyone has a right to know what is happening so they can take action for social-ecological justice. #JustCollapse For more information on the #TalkCollapse campaign: https://justcollapse.org/action/

As collapse accelerates, #JustCollapse evolves. In 2023, the world is experiencing unprecedented intersecting crises – climate, ecology, war, energy, cost-of-living, disasters, food scarcity, economy, biodiversity… In this new wide ranging interview with Epic Tomorrows, co-founders Tristan Sykes and Kate Booth discuss how we can respond meaningfully and build shared purpose. #TalkCollapse #InsurgentPlanning 

BUT WHY? The security of nations depends on the steady, reliable supply of energy provided by fossil fuels to advance growth and maintain social stability. With #PeakOil, fossil fuels are becoming harder and more expensive to extract so, this highly problematic energy source is being subsidised to the hilt. Catch-22: We collapse if we do,Continue reading “Fossil fuel subsidies double. Why?”

THE GREAT DYING – new research: “We are currently losing species at a faster rate than in any of Earth’s past extinction events. It is probable that we are in the first phase of another, more severe mass extinction… We cannot predict the tipping point that will send ecosystems into total collapse, but it isContinue reading “The Great Dying”

Talking collapse can be tricky but is itself an act of justice. Everyone has the right to know and once you know, you can act.  For more information on our #TalkCollapse campaign: https://justcollapse.org/action/
