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?”

Sudden, cataclysmic crash
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.
US declares energy emergency!
‘The United States declared a national energy emergency on June 6, 2022. The emergency – declared to exist with respect to the threats to the availability of sufficient electricity generation capacity to meet expected customer demand – will stay in effect for at least 24 months…’ The energy sustaining global industrial civilisation is being impactedContinue reading “US declares energy emergency!”
A brief history of Oil and Humans
This brief spike in the size of the human enterprise represents the exploitation of billions of years of biological and geological processes over the span of just a few human lifetimes. Oil from the fossilisation of ancient organisms is utterly unique and irreplaceable – no other material or energy source compares. The structure of globalContinue reading “A brief history of Oil and Humans”
Once it starts
As we pass #PeakCivilisation we begin the #GreatDescent, taking with us life on Earth as we know it. #TalkCollapse because this is collapse. “’We call it a positive feedback mechanism in climate science,’ explains Professor Hugelius, ‘once the collapse starts, ever more heat and water can penetrate into the permafrost and you get a moreContinue reading “Once it starts”
Overshoot science
There are no viable scenarios for the avoiding civilisational collapse and an inhospitable Earth – according to the new United Nations GAR2022 report. Two scenarios are based on not having crossed planetary boundaries. We have already crossed six out of nine boundaries, as the diagram on the right shows (in orange). The remaining two scenariosContinue reading “Overshoot science”
UN warning of collapse
ALERT: UN warns of ‘Total Societal Collapse’ due to breaching planetary boundaries. Yet, even in this new UN report, the truth has been tampered with: ‘A senior advisor to the UN office for Disaster Risk Reduction and contributor to the Global Assessment Report who spoke to Byline Times on condition of anonymity, claims that theContinue reading “UN warning of collapse”
Giving up…
Is accepting the inevitability of collapse ‘giving up’? Living with false hope leads to wasted time and maladaptive action. Denying collapse is also an act of violence against those already bearing the brunt of climate-ecological devastation. #CollapseAcceptance allows us to act befitting reality. We don’t give up. As we collapse, we can act for justice,Continue reading “Giving up…”
Like science fiction
If everything seems well with the world, then this is because you are lucky, and perhaps privileged, not because you are immune to laws of physics, biology, and ecology. ‘My friends in the Indian Subcontinent tell me stories, these days, that seem like science fiction. The heatwave there is pushing the boundaries of survivability. MyContinue reading “Like science fiction”
Doomer conversion therapy
Gaslighting Doomers – Help us fact-check some of the claims made in this 20min podcast from the BBC’s Climate Disinformation Specialist. a) It’s not too late – it’s possible to limit warming to 1.5C b) We know exactly what needs to be done c) The sooner we act, the more we can limit the impactContinue reading “Doomer conversion therapy”
