“In the Indigenous worldview, Country means a way of seeing the world. Everything is living. There is no separation between people and nature.” Alison Page, from ‘Design, Building on Country’.

We lost everything because we separated from nature.

Everything changed long ago, and a long time before that. Convenience chosen over connection. The more comfortable we got, the more arrogant we became. The superiority morphed into racism.
“You shall have dominion over all”. The detachment from nature became increasingly unnoticeable.

Back in 2012 The EU Met Office ran a climate simulation. "The team concluded that a global warming of 3 degrees Celsius by 2050 is 'equally plausible' as a rise of 1.4 degrees"

Today, 1.4°C is dead. 3°C seems very likely given record population, GHG & deforestation since Paris in 2015.

Permafrost is melting with emissions of carbon dioxide and methane on a par with Japan’s human emissions. Soon they will overtake India’s.

Permafrost emissions are on track to overtake India’s human emissions
Arctic Amplification, driving temperature increases up to 4x faster than the rest of the world, is melting Permafrost at alarming rates that will soon see it’s emissions eclipse even large countries.

The arrogance continues to be clearly on display:
“More specifically, it has rational actors capable of understanding the problem and trying to fix it, even though they caused it in the first place.”

Foolish ignorance.

Collapse is not coming - it’s already here.

Four systems (climate, energy, food, and economy) are breaking down together, each amplifying the weaknesses of the others.

This is not a prediction - the #collapse of these systems is well underway, and already changing our lives. 1/10 #overshoot

“The Sixth Extinction won’t arrive as a headline — it’s already here, in the fading of lives too ordinary for us to measure.”

252 million years ago the Earth’s temperature increased by 8C over 60,000 years, killing 90% of life on Earth in a period known as ‘The Great Dying’.

We’re on track for 4C rise above preindustrial temp in our children’s life times.
