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 (LĂmites del Crecimiento). Su plena actualidad no viene solo del hecho de que las previsiones se van cumpliendo a rajatabla. Las crĂticas y pataletas de las tendencias más liberales ¡durante cinco dĂ©cadas! no escarmientan. 
2. Pero lo interesante que me gustarĂa 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 cuestionĂł el paradigma dominante para la mayorĂa de la sociedad: "el crecimiento". Si bien los cambios masivos previstos aĂşn 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.

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.

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
