NEW – A Tiny Book of Insurgent Planning

“This tiny book of big ideas is about living and acting in hard times. In part, it’s about dispelling the myth that unfolding and irreversible climate-ecological collapse means there is nothing left to do. In collapse, there is more to do now than ever before!” Download now for free: A Tiny Book of Insurgent Planning

Reality check on extinction

REALITY CHECK: 99.9% of all species which have ever existed are now extinct. Only human exceptionalism makes our own demise seem impossible in unfolding climate-ecological collapse – “Nature can adapt. But not overnight. Adaptation takes time, and time is exactly what we no longer have” – Jennifer Marlon, Senior Research Scientist. #TalkCollapse for a #JustCollapse Continue reading “Reality check on extinction”

Collapse Camp – sold out!

Collapse Camp – happening this week and already sold out! “…where we begin to consider disaster and collapse not as apocalypse, as the end of all hope, but as a strategic space in which we can and must reposition ourselves… Even in collapse, our struggle for the best possible world for all does not stop.” ThisContinue reading “Collapse Camp – sold out!”

’This is physics’

Climate Collapse Is Coming Faster Than You’ve Been Told: ‘This is physics. More heat in the system changes everything, storms, rainfall, agriculture, ecosystems, economies, politics. And with the planet warming faster than models predicted, “later this century” is rapidly becoming “within our lifetimes.”’ Climate scientists and the IPCC aren’t ‘maybe’ downplaying the severity, they areContinue reading “’This is physics’”

New research: food #unsustainable in a changing climate

New research – food systems are #Unsustainable: ‘The unprecedented nature of many of the climate conditions behind recent food price spikes highlights the ongoing threats to food security as climate change continues to push societies towards ever less familiar climate conditions… Subsequent increases in food prices could* act as a catalyst from which further risksContinue reading “New research: food #unsustainable in a changing climate”

Degrowth – have our cake and eat it too?

No, we can’t have our cake and eat it too: ‘While I agree with the broad goals of degrowth, the specific vision championed by most degrowth advocates relies on an egalitarian distribution of industrial goods. It calls for “modern housing, healthcare, education, heating/cooling, transit, washing machines, refrigerators, induction stoves, sanitation systems, computers, mobile phones, internet, etc…for allContinue reading “Degrowth – have our cake and eat it too?”

Energy transition: False and dangerous

HYPERGROWTH – new article: ‘this transition is not only false, it is dangerous in its deceit. “What we are witnessing is not a transition. It’s a symbiotic expansion of all energy sources”… underlining how new extractive infrastructures are being built without dismantling the old ones. This so-called ‘green shift’ is not a rupture, but aContinue reading “Energy transition: False and dangerous”

No post-collapse

There will be no post-collapse – new science: ‘A key implication of our work, however, is that life on Earth, while resilient, is unable to respond to massive changes on short time scales…’ This is why we act NOW for a #JustCollapse.  Full article: https://theconversation.com/around-250-million-years-ago-earth-was-near-lifeless-and-locked-in-a-hothouse-state-now-scientists-know-why-260203
