"There is some cause for optimism... After a hundred years of studying the impacts of fossil fuels on climate change, and decades of policy debates and international agreements and commitments, it seems that a falling population is the best thing we can do for the earth." #overshoot #collapse
Modern climate change is 27x faster than historic global warming mass extinction events
I first posted a version of this in 2019, at my old Wordpress blog, The Cottonwood Post. All of my recent postings (since December 2024) have been here at this Substack.

"If you’re a walking to a cliff a mile away, you’re not stressing. But if you’re a mile away driving 100mph, you’re probably going to be a lot more concerned. And the faster and further you go, the less likely you can slow down enough or stop to keep from falling off the cliff."

"If I drop a log into a river, I can point you in the general direction downstream where that log might end up in 10 minutes. It’s almost impossible to pinpoint that spot beforehand.

Predicting collapse is similar. All we know is there's whitewater and a cliff. Maybe rabid beavers."

Recommended. Moving and melancholy look at life in smalltown Florida as it sinks under rising seas while society collapses. Narrow and precise in focus, the tale is riveting and believable (albeit with magic realism woven in). Not hopium, but resilience and adaptation. #collapsebookclub

Curious if anyone else is trying out #meshtastic? I got mine after hearing the recent Live Like the World is Dying podcast episode. Internet and cell towers down? No problem. The refrigerator band (IoT) still works and you can text on it. 📻 #preparedness #climateprep #ecoprep
Messing around with #meshtastic. Makes me think of FidoNet. 🫠 #LoRa #communicationsky

"Capitalism is a system that takes the permanence of nature and replaces it with disappearing electronic signals on a computer screen that will vanish when society collapses beyond a certain threshold. We're about to discover that threshold."

What we’re witnessing isn’t random.

It’s the logic of overshoot resolving itself - through the collapse of ecological integrity and civilisational complexity.

We can’t fix it, but we can decide how to live inside it - with clarity, attention, and integrity. 10/10

Who was it that said switching to LNG would increase energy security? Oh yeah, the LNG lobby.

The EU now finds itself being blackmailed by Qatar - in addition to the US - over energy supplies if it doesn't weaken environmental protections. Expect more deregulation 😖

Qatar threatened to cut EU LNG supplies over sustainability law, letter shows
Qatar has threatened to cut gas supplies to the European Union in response to the bloc's due diligence law on forced labour and environmental damage, a letter from Qatar to the Belgian government, seen by Reuters, showed.

"A powerful feedback loop is created: more salinity brings more heat to the surface, which melts more ice, which then allows more heat to be absorbed from the Sun." #overshoot #climatechange
‘Completely unexpected’: Antarctic sea ice may be in terminal decline due to rising Southern Ocean salinity
Scientists once thought Antarctica might hold onto its sea ice as the world warmed. No longer.

These kinds of numbers, especially when sustained, cause irreversible damage to marine ecosystems, and as such reverberate much further (in time and space) than those purple pockets might suggest. #overshoot #ClimateChange
Incredible heat in the Mediteranean with sea sfc departures up to 7C (13 F) above normal!
While +13F is not unusual for air temps, for large water bodies it's ludicrous.
Marine heateaves in the Med are now 3X more likely than the 1980s due to climate change - CC can explain 90% of this increase.

Europeans are kept completely oblivious about the rate of summer warming.

Gross negligence from those responsible to keep us informed and safe.
