‘…there’s just a 10 percent chance that human civilization will be able to make it through the next 20 to 40 years without a catastrophic collapse.’ Collapse is hard science, not ‘conspiracy’ or ‘doomerism’, and it’s happening now! #TalkCollapse

Defence strategists and military experts are amongst those who recognise the severity of our predicament. Yet, ‘doomer’ is still used by some in the climate movement to denigrate and ridicule collapse-conscious citizens. In new research, defence strategist Dr Elizabeth G. Boulton, argues ‘that we are moving toward “a shift to a climate inhospitable for mostContinue reading “Military and defense”

Collapse: ‘the fall of a socio-ecological system characterized by the loss of complexity, structure and order’ Justice: ‘fairness and equity within socio-ecological systems and interactions’ The inherently unjust nature of this unprecedented global socio-ecological collapse demands we take action. Collapse is a process not a switch, and we can still mitigate inequity and the unfoldingContinue reading “A #JustCollapse WTF?”

To paraphrase Bob Marley – and the UN – a hungry mob is an angry mob. ‘The head of the United Nations World Food Programme, David Beasley, said this week that ‘”if people can’t feed their children and their families, then the politics unsettles.” .…He warned that in 2023 the world will see mass foodContinue reading “A hungry mob is an angry mob”

Not seeing the predicament results in actions and ‘solutions’ that are either meaningless or maladaptive. #Overshoot

Pardon the ‘french’ but sh*t is f**ked up. #TalkCollapse! ‘…coral bleaching, an insect apocalypse, cows dying from heat in the field and birds falling dead from the skies. Cut up two bananas and mix it all together with a million Hiroshima-sized nuclear bombs worth of heat per day in a planet-sized blender and you’ve gotContinue reading “Summer of f**kery”

The 1970s saw energy crises but is it the same now? ‘…from a biophysical, ecological point of view, we now inhabit a different world: in just 50 years, we have shifted from relative abundance to relative depletion and scarcity… think of it as the consequence of a one-time-only profusion of human population, innovation, and consumptionContinue reading “The 1970s again?”

What does your #JustCollapse look like? Collapse is a process not a switch. There is lots to be done for socio-ecological justice between now and the grim end, and we achieve what we can, where we can, as a means of easing the descent. Examples: communicating our predicament, caring for wildlife, helping homeless, defending refugees,Continue reading “What is yours?”

In the space of a few human lifetimes ‘…we are effectively rewinding the clock back 50 million years…‘ to a prehistoric future when neither agriculture nor homo-sapiens existed. ‘The expected departure of future climates from those experienced in human history challenges efforts to adapt.’ Bright Green delusions of ‘renewable’ energy only dig the hole deeperContinue reading “Pliocene or Eocene anyone?”

This is how civilisations collapse. ‘…as trade routes wither and consumption begins to drop, we should strive to ensure that we are heading towards a controlled descent and not a sudden, cataclysmic crash’. A #PlannedCollapse is a #JustCollapse.
