Been pondering @GeorgeMonbiot 's #Regenesis and the reaction to it for months. The struggle is that it implicitly acknowledges and accepts a view of humanity and the rest of the biosphere as distinct from each other in the most fundamental way. 🧵1/10
Monbiot is making us acknowledge something obvious. We can wander through rewilded or sustainably managed land, but alone among species we can no longer all subsist on it. 2/10
Hard to hear, and it threatens the idea of #foodsovereignty, at least in the privileged north. 2.5/10

Wenn ein dieses Jahr geborenes Kind 18 wird, schreiben wir das Jahr 2041. In welcher Welt wird es leben? 🧵
Zunächst: Prognosen sind bekanntermaßen schwierig, besonders wenn sie die Zukunft betreffen. Kluge Menschen bei @EYnews, 🇪🇺, @CSIRO, US-National Intelligence Council und Futurist*innen wie @hammondfuturist können nach jetzigem Wissen vorausberechnen u well-informed guesses machen
Ökonometrie-Expertin Gaya Herrington hat 50 Jahre nach der #limitstogrowth-Studie des @ClubOfRome nachgerechnet und findet: Machen wir so weiter, droht bis 2040 der Kollaps – aber müssen wir ja nicht.advisory.kpmg.us/articles/2021/…

1. Este año 2022 es el 50 aniversario de #LimitsToGrowth (Límites del Crecimiento). Su plena actualidad no viene solo del hecho de que las previsiones se van cumpliendo a rajatabla. Las críticas y pataletas de las tendencias más liberales ¡durante cinco décadas! no escarmientan.
2. Pero lo interesante que me gustaría resaltar —a pesar de esas pataletas de medio siglo de las tendencias liberales que finalmente, y como ha mostrado la historia, acaban refugiándose en las tendencias más extremistas—, es que disponemos del primer modelo informático a escala.
3. Por primera vez en la historia moderna, un enfoque de dinámica de sistemas en modelo informático cuestionó el paradigma dominante para la mayoría de la sociedad: "el crecimiento". Si bien los cambios masivos previstos aún no se han producido a nivel mundial...

This is going to be a thread about the #COVIDRecovery #BuildBackBetter #RecoveryPlan and how it's been a total failure through the lens of #emissions #climatechange and #adaptation. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #EconomicRecovery 🧵 1/x
I started following this in December 2020, when this paper was released:

"If fiscal packages are invested in carbon-intensive technologies and traditional fossil fuel-based infrastructure, this will bring huge lock-in effects on emissions."

"Five-year emissions will increase by 15.6% (22.0 Gt) versus decreases of 4.7% (6.6 Gt), if the fiscal packages were invested in clean energy and advanced technologies (scenario SDS)." 3/x

I'm live-tweeting today and tomorrow from the #SustainabilityFrontiers conference. Follow for insights on where #SustainabilityScience is now, gaps, and how we create just nature-society relations.
Hosts: @LUCSUS_LU & @SEIresearch, inspiration: @theNASEM, annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.114…

Sustainability science is still defining itself, argues Vasna Ramsar. Concepts like #foodsovereignty drawn from Indigenous knowledge are gaining ground as part of #decolonizing the field. #SustainabilityFrontiers /3

Previously, I linked #BuildBackBetter & the #GreatReset to the #MauriceStrong network (mid-1970s but kicking off with the 1992 UN #EarthSummit in Rio). I also linked Strong to the #Rockefeller clan. We may have to go a bit further back in time.

Thread 👇
In 1972, The #ClubofRome published its '#LimitsToGrowth', using simulations to describe the impact of resource depletion on #economic growth. The Club was founded in 1968 by David #Rockefeller, the industrialist Aurelio Peccei & Alexander King.
Its computer-generated models of #doom were designed to impress but were based on simplistic ideas & dubious assumptions. The report, nonetheless, remains influential & illustrates the #Rockefeller obsession with population growth & #resource control
