‘..there is no part of the manufacture, transportation, deployment and maintenance of wind turbines and solar panels which does not involve fossil fuels… there is no way that either technology can generate the heat required to build their replacements… the only sensible option left to us is a process of managed de-growth.’ The nature andContinue reading “The climate war won’t work”

When do you think we pass(ed) the point of no return? Advent of agriculture (~10,000 years ago) Western colonialization (~400 years ago) Industrial Revolution (~300 years ago) Post-WWII boom (~70 years ago) Planetary overshoot (~50 years ago) Kyoto Protocol (~30 years ago) Arctic sea ice decline (~20 years ago) Atmospheric CO2 at 400ppm (~8 yearsContinue reading “When did we collapse?”

‘…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

Governments and the IPCC are lying, in the face of inevitable collapse. Net zero policies are ‘emperor’s new clothes’, academics warn. Net zero targets are a ‘fantasy’ that often just protect ‘business as usual.’ They describe Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), stating that ‘it has been estimated that BECCS could demand an area ofContinue reading “Emperor’s new clothes”

#TalkCollapse. Talking about collapse is a matter of justice. Everybody has the right to know what is coming. If you know, then you can take action. Seek justice! Take action!

FORUM RECORDING: Approaching Collapse – some do’s and don’ts [edited] For those who attended, or couldn’t make it, please continue the forum discussion in the comments here. Infinite growth on a finite planet has pushed us into crisis, and this forum tackles the difficult questions and taboo topics: Bursting the fantasy of sustainability based onContinue reading “Approaching Collapse video”

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”
