"Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn"

@ProfSteveKeen has been pointing out the flaws in William Nordhaus fatally flawed DICE model for a very long time. They should now give that prize to Steve Keen.

1/🧵theguardian.com/environment/20…
I have been pointing out that the climate crisis will crash the global economy, for over 3 decades. However, I lacked @ProfSteveKeen economics expertise, to explain why, in economic terms. My analysis was derived from ecology and systems theory.
2/
It was only when I read @ProfSteveKeen systematic demolition of William Nordhaus' intellectually dishonest DICE model, that I realized why governments had been. misled to believe the impacts of climate change on our system, would be slight.

I'm making a very serious point here. The way natural ecosystems and biodiversity, support our societies and economies, has never been systematically studied, despite us destroying the natural systems our lives depend on, and no one is the slightest bit interested in that?
1/3
Very few people, almost no one, is aware of what I'm saying here. Most people, including most scientists, wrongly assume somewhere it's known, how natural ecosystems and biodiversity sustain us. That there is expertise in this. But where is it? The cat got your tongue?
2/3
In my lifetime of investigating this, the only people I've come across who truly understand the total unsustainability of our modern systems, and how natural ecosystems and biodiversity sustain us, are indigenous cultures. Our culture seems free of this insight.

I wrote a thread on the ecological impacts to our societies, explaining climate change was just one small, but very significant part of those ecological impacts. Remember, in 2024, UK farming suffered big losses in yield, because of rain.

1/🧵theguardian.com/news/ng-intera…
This was the thread I wrote, and without a huge amount of words, I can only partially explain what I was getting at. That we need to urgently develop a holistic, joined up way of thinking, who understand all these serious challenges we face as a whole.

2/
There are 2 very different ways of looking at the increased flooding we are experiencing in the UK, and other parts of the world. The first is to look at it as a singular problem, in terms of specifics of flood engineering. This is relevant, but only part of it.

This is reality, within the near future, I mean the next few years/decades, we are going to get hit, by cascading ecological impacts, and climate change is just one part of this.

Whether we act on this, is up to us, but if we ignore it, we face catastrophic consequences.
1/🧵
I have been warning about the ecological impacts, this report, essentially by the UK intelligence services, warns of, for decades. I suppose I better dig out some links to prove it. But what I said doesn't matter.

2/gov.uk/government/pub…
What matters, is that it is going to happen, it already is happening, and there is massive evidence for global ecosystem collapse. Everything, our civilization, our lives, our economies, totally relies on ecosystems, which are collapsing.

A big thanks to Rupert Read for sharing this. This is the latest in a long line of reports, highlighting the the unsustainability of our present system, and that serious problems lie ahead. Last week, we had the Nature Security Assessment on biodiversity.
1/🧵
There is nothing particularly new about this, there is a long line of similar such assessments, by all manner of institutions, from military, government, corporate, financial institutions going back decades.

All are essentially ignored by governments, our politicians.
2/
Here's the outline of assessment by UK Intelligence services, on the threats from biodiversity collapse, ecosystem collapse. Apparently it is redacted.

I'll put a link to the government website below.

Let's get this clear. Alex Pretti and another observer, were violently attacked my ICE agents, and then Alex Pretti shot dead, because ICE agents were angered, that they were filming them with their phones. This was assault and then murder.
1/🧵
Footage from the scene shows this in an unambiguous way. Without any just cause, ICE agents violently shoved the female observer to the ground, and when Alex Pretti tried to shield her from further violent attack, he was similarly attacked, without any just cause.
2/
Stills from the scene from just seconds before his murder, show Alex Pretti holding his phone. He is non-violently speaking to an ICE agent, trying to man handle him. At no point did he draw or display a weapon, that could justify this.
