"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."

Ohh, wasn't aware of this one. But every time I poke around the subject, it grabs me... even though I realize it IS just a marketing gimmick. But you want to sell me something, creativity and participation helps!

Hey, thanks! I found an actual use for my LinkedIn account from their website! I remember when Spielberg's AI came out with a similar scheme, and still annoyed I missed out on @ongs-hat.com's original concept in the early 90s...

"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."

"If we start designing things right away maybe solar powered banks could somehow still be churning out profits when all life on the planet has been lost. We need to take immediate action NOW before it's too late!"

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

"I think we're a decade away from EU navies sinking refugee boats in the Mediterranean and fully militarised land borders. Probably after the first time that crop failures mean that EU countries are unable to feed their populations."
