People (and don't get me wrong, I love people) generally just don't have a clue about how bad the ecological and climate catastrophe really is. Not a single fucking clue.
I didn't really have much of a clue myself 5 years ago.
I knew, but I didn't really know.
In the summer of 2017 I realised that total catastrophe was a possibility, and after a year or two on Twitter I grasped that the 2020s and 2030s would really shake us.
I remain optimistic about a positive quirk of fate leading us to degrowth economics in this decade.

We'll soon see.

The Rainforests of Africa:

🇨🇩 DR Congo
🇨🇬 Republic of the Congo
🇬🇦 Gabon
🇨🇫 Central African Republic
🇨🇲 Cameroon
🇬🇶 Equatorial Guinea

will suffer from a totally new climate of unprecedented heat from 2025 onwards, with staggering consequences for all life on Earth.
This 2013 study projects 'climate departure':

Equatorial Guinea Malabo 2024- 2030
Gabon Libreville 2024- 2028
Cameroon Yaounde 2025- 2032
Central African Republic Bangui 2028- 2036
DR Congo Kinshasa 2028- 2038 Republic of the Congo Brazzaville 2028 -2038

Arctic sea ice loss is accelerating but climate models fail to take this into account properly because they don't integrate satellite observations and it's hard to find journalists or editors who care about this so most people don't know we're on course for climate hell by 2029.
The public is not being told how close we are to an almighty abrupt climate change shock.

Let's talk a little about #coronavirus, #pandemics and #collapse THREAD. 👇👇👇

Qualifier: been studying the collapse of civ for 20 years

@growlingsoftly and I will be doing a podcast on this soon, which will be more in-depth and might have some writings on it to come as well.
First off: this situation is unprecedented.
Elements of it are not, but they have not been brought together on this scale and with this intensity.
That said, it was absolutely predictable and if anyone says otherwise, they're lying. Govts and corps think short term, look past.
Secondly, just because disasters are used to expand State power and contract movements doesn't mean the disease is a conspiracy.
It's not beyond govts to use disease for control, obviously, but that doesn't mean it's a hoax nor does that change the flow of a virus once it's out.

The #IntelligenceCommunity's "opportunities" in the face of #ClimateChange, eh? 🤔

washingtontimes.com/news/2020/feb/…

#ClimateStrike #GreenNewDeal #IC
"In 2014, the Pentagon submitted a report that argued climate change was an “immediate risk” to national security. The Pentagon reiterated many of these concerns in a report five years later."

#PENTAGON
"I am a retired CIA officer and not a scientist, so I’ll leave it to the climatologists for the most authoritative assessment on the pace of climate change. But there is clear evidence that the Earth is warming, sea levels are rising and the Arctic is melting."

I finally got around to watching the Apocalypse Cow documentary (Channel 4, George Monbiot) the other night. Like Monbiot, I do not eat meat/fish or drink milk. I'm still gathering my thoughts on the doc,. however, here are my thoughts thus far.
All nature is now being recognized as an object to be bought/sold, traded on wall street. And this is what perhaps bother me most about the doc. As I can see the intent / purpose behind it. It's not as though Monbiot does not know about the #NewDealForNature. He does.
Consider most, if not all of his "allies" are at the helm or support the #NewDealForNature, led by WEF, WWF, UN, Natural Capital Coalition, Conservation Int., etc. And of course, both Monbiot & Thunberg did the promotional video for CI. #Celebrity is utilized to serve capital.

THREAD: The collapse of civilization may have already begun – my major feature for @VICE exploring the big unresolved debate around the probability of a near-term event, global long-term risks, and most importantly, what happens after collapse /1 vice.com/en_us/article/…
@VICE This has been a polarising piece. So I’m setting out key findings and questions here. The piece launches off from trying to assess Jem Bendell's warning of near-term societal collapse within 10 years due to climate change. Opens up other questions /2 vice.com/en_us/article/…
@VICE On the question of whether near-term societal collapse is inevitable within 10 years, there is simply no scientific evidence to support this conclusion. Not a single scientist I spoke to would endorse this. Even Bendell described it as a 'guess' /3 vice.com/en_us/article/…

The Amazon the largest lung in our world is on fire😭.
It's time for humanity to stop & think seriously about what it is doing🤨.
Is this our legacy for future generations😠?
Is money more important than conserving nature😡?
🗣️We need the forests to survive.
🗣️Protect nature!

There is no "ngo" burning the #AmazonRainforest these are Cattle Ranchers, most of whom voted for #Bolsonaro. They're destroying the #Enviroment to steal #Indigenous land for themselves #NativeTwitter!#IndigenousRights #NativeLivesMatter
