We are in deficit. After nearly 50 years of #overshoot, there is no surplus for making the world over as ‘green’, ‘electrified’ and ‘sustainable’. The Earth’s carrying capacity is severely diminished and continues to be diminished at an astounding rate. We can’t afford climate action that supports a ‘green’ version of the status quo. RadicalContinue reading “We are in deficit”

Hopium, Mann, and collapse – reflections from Professor Elliot Jacobson: ‘The suffering brought on by overshoot and collapse is evident everywhere. Species in record numbers are going extinct. Our fellow humans are dying from heat, starvation, thirst, floods, fires and disease… Quite simply, many of us would make different choices if we knew with absoluteContinue reading “Hopium, Mann, and collapse”

An amusing short video on breaking the news without hopium. Our predicament is #ExtremeOvershoot. We (mostly the west) have extracted, burnt, processed and consumed our way into mass deficit, using 1.75 planets each year rather than the 1 that exists. #TalkCollapse #EndHopium

‘Dangerous’ is one of the words we use in the petition to Professor Michael E Mann. Atmospheric scientist and celebrity climate communicator, Professor Mann is calling for social media censorship of citizens and experts concerned about the severity of our climate-ecological predicament and collapse.

Planning emerged because market-based societies do not intuitively produce habitable and just worlds (Bookchin). As we are propelled into a future ‘unplanned’ by our system of infinite growth on a finite planet, we must make an unprecedented intervention for a #PlannedCollapse. A #PlannedCollapse is a #JustCollapse.

FAQ. Why does Just Collapse says that collapse is inevitable? Here is part of the answer to this question.

Myth 1: Liberals are not in denial – Small ‘l’ liberals are the #NewDenial when it comes to climate action. Myth 2: Republicans are still more to blame – In the west, the climate-concerned and unconcerned have similar ecological footprints. Myth 3: Renewable energy can replace fossil fuels – This article was published in 2014.Continue reading “Six myths”

First and foremost, this film is entertaining, and appears useful in providing ‘Hollywood’ credence to the severity of our predicament. For those of us immersed in the world of climate and collapse activism, it is also potentially cathartic in its witty satire of the idiocracy we encounter everyday – be this the insanity of infiniteContinue reading “Don’t Look Up?”

In 2021, Earth Overshoot Day fell on July 29. Where will it fall in 2022? Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year. Every year, the date moves forward, driven by infinite growth on a finite planet.Continue reading “Earth Overshoot Day 2022”
