Ukraine-Russia context: LTG 1972 and Copenhagen 2009, our final warnings, went unheeded. What options remain: (1) enforce degrowth & resilience; or (2) continued growth, collapse or extinction. Survivors form a degrowth or post-collapse world order. Do we have your attention? 1/?

2/ I don't know what needs to be repeated as this has all long been clear to anyone paying attention. As current policy is based on myths & wishful thinking, facing reality changes our mental models. People can only do this themselves, we can't force them.

4/ The problem is that the proximate causes of unsustainability (growth and ecological overshoot) and their symptoms (climate change, resource depletion, pollution and inequality) are systematically kept out of public policy. Hence they are not understood.

5/ The problem is existential. Reflect what this means. The scientists who warn that we only have, at best, a few years for option 1 (resilience) are regularly dismissed. Fine - now think about what happens in the coming years if they turn out to be right.
