CLIMATE CHANGE
PLAUSIBLE WORST CASE SCENARIO

1/12
#PlausibleWorstCaseScenario #ClimateCrisis
2022
2019, 2020 and 2021 were ominous – but they barely touched the surface.
Expect more heatwaves, storms, floods, droughts. Watch as the Arctic and Antarctic continue to melt.

Coral Reef death escalates.

2032
Ice caps and glaciers lose cohesion. Water sources evaporate. Heatwaves, droughts and soil loss ratchet up.
Climate famines hit Africa, South Asia, South and Central America. Water is now the primary cause of war.

2042
Desertification of Africa, central China, central United States, Mexico & Australia gains speed.
Government in these continents/nations becomes erratic as populations panic. Climate migration destabilises borders. Hunger is now a global phenomenon.

4/12

2052
Heat kills.
Sea level rises outstrip predictions. South-east Asia loses 80% of agricultural land. Worldwide crop cultivation falters.
'Climate-secure' regions (Canada, Russia, north China, northern Europe) fortify their borders – but endure storms, droughts & fires.

5/12
2062
Oceanic currents become unpredictable. Superstorms multiply.
Human populations reach levels of high anxiety. Govts incite ‘distraction’ wars.

Dictatorial regimes gain ascendancy.
Large animal die-back commences.
Pollinators diminish.

World-wide food shortages.

6/12
2072
Fortress Britain gets temporarily colder as Gulf Stream fails, but insufficient fuel & food for a frightened population.
Worldwide hunger & heat death exceed 3 billion over 10 yr period.
Satellite photos reveal flotillas of human and livestock corpses in Atlantic Ocean.
7/12
2082
Summer temperatures in Africa, India, Australia, Middle East and Central America become unsurvivable: 50-60 degrees. All useful rainfall ceases & these regions transition to dustbowls & deserts. What remnants of forests there were, burn.

8/12
#PlausibleWorstCaseScenario
2092
Animal & crop die-back.
Mass human death.

Social panic & state militarisation. Rationing within nations. Migrant exterminations. Technological civilisation now struggles to survive. Supply chains for food & fuels fail.

9/12
#PlausibleWorstCaseScenario #ClimateCrisis
2102
Storms, droughts, fires and lack of pollinators harm remaining crop yields, even in the north. UK, northern Europe, Russia, north China, Canada & Alaska are becoming unlivable.

10/12
#PlausibleWorstCaseScenario #ClimateCrisis #storms #droughts #fires
2112
Final extinction event of all large lifeforms draws toward completion. Small numbers of humans survive on stored food in purpose-built shelters near the poles.
Resource banditry and disease soon wipe them out.

The Long Scorch.

God (if there is a god) pronounces her experiment with life on Earth over.
Terra: soon to be another lifeless cinder in the sky.

It's rational to be afraid.

Under Keir Starmer's leadership Labour have been losing their vote share in council and by-elections across the country, making greater losses than in GE 2019, despite that year’s smearing of Labour and its leadership (now pretty much ‘on hold’).

Is this poor voter performance and Starmer’s continuing unpopularity the result of strategic mistakes on the part of him and his team?

Let’s look at what appear to be Sir Keir Starmer’s top ten errors of judgement.

KEIR STARMER’S TOP 10 MISTAKES
Mistake No.10: Being Starmer

It was a strategic error for Labour to choose a leader so stale, male & pale he makes even ultra-privileged Johnson look anti-establishment. Tactically, should Starmer have put himself fwd for the leadership role?

We’ve talked about the enemies of our civilisation and biological world:
– the corporations
– the growth economy
– the oligarch- or state-controlled media
– the greedy and power-hungry 0.1%

“Enemies in terms of endangering social cohesion and environmental sustainability?”

Yes, in precisely those terms – the enemies who’re endangering us all.

But then we moved on.

“It wasn’t great having so many enemies, was it?”

It wasn’t… 0.1 percent of eight billion people… That’s a lot of enemies.

Anyone who calls a socialist an enemy of ordinary people is an enemy of ordinary people – because socialism is precisely about protecting ordinary people.

Lie about that and what else will you lie about?

Anyone who calls a socialist an enemy of the economy is an enemy of the economy – because any fool knows the economy's real enemies are those who strip away its assets and hoard away its wealth.

“Anyone would think we had some sort of death wish.”
Me and you?
“No. Humanity. The human race.”
Perhaps we do.
“We’re waging chemical warfare against our own species.”
It’s a kind of madness, isn’t it?

1/36
Our self-harming chemical war:
– Particulates spewed out from our use of wood, diesel, coal and other fuels, particulates which we then breath
– The pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers we pour over pastures and farmlands, which then permeate our food chain

2/36
– The microplastics we discharge into water sources, ending up in the water we drink
– The mass consumption of sugar, trans fats, salt
– The use of barbiturates, opioids, nicotine, caffeine, alcohol & other pain-killers, tranquilisers & stimulants
