‘…if it’s not already far, far too late to matter—we should have started long ago.’ Business as Usual or a Fantastical Techno-fix – two dominant options presented in face of the climate-ecological crisis. Both fail the #JustCollapse test. Both catapult us into collapse and horrific injustice. A #PlannedCollapse is a #JustCollapse.

If you live in the developed world, not having a child saves about 58.6 tonnes of CO2 per year. This compares to living car-free which saves about 2.3 tonnes of CO2 a year, while sticking to a plant-based diet saves 0.8 tonnes. #WeNeedAPlan.

2050 equals business as usual. Infinite growth on a finite planet is stealing the future, and calling it ‘climate success’. #WeNeedAPlan. A #PlannedCollapse is a #JustCollapse.

Creativity, humor, and action are all antidotes to despair in face of collapse. #TalkCollapse

CO2 is not the problem. Even if emissions are cut tomorrow, collapse is still inevitable. This week, the other COP on biodiversity expresses, ‘…grave concern that the unprecedented and interrelated crises of biodiversity loss, climate change, land degradation and desertification, ocean degradation, and pollution, and increasing risks to human health and food security, pose anContinue reading “CO2 is not the problem”

Western democracies are failing on climate-ecological collapse. We need MORE democracy today: fully informed populations; an end to corruption and nepotism; a rolling back of draconian protest laws. Foster a #collapseconscious citizenry and give power back to the people! Some think that authoritarianism is a ‘fix’. This is naive. Collapse cannot be ‘fixed’. Authority ofContinue reading “More democracy not less”

Almost all countries are in ecological overshoot. But the lions share of overshoot lies with the Global North, with developed countries. This is where the hard work must take place. A #plannedcollapse is a #justcollapse. Seek justice! Take action!
