Here’s the passage that will make environmentalists bark at their computer screens: Contrary to what is typically advocated as the route to sustainability, it is usually not possible for a society to reduce its consumption of resources voluntarily over the long… Continue Reading…
There’s a fascinating, informative discussion thread on the dynamics of societal collapse over at The Oil Drum, prompted by a very readable 10,000 word essay on the fall of the Roman empire, cleverly entitled, “Peak Civilization.” This is really complicated stuff that the news media utterly fails to convey, preferring instead to focus on single-cause… Continue Reading…
https://chemxtree.com/mo3xxq89eBuying Zolpidem In Mexico I don’t agree with some of the classic examples cited, which I’ve previously discussed here, but nevertheless, this is an interesting thought experiment posed by Nate Hagens over at The Oil Drum: By definition, all previous ecosystem and non-human collapses were not ‘understood as collapse’ by those organisms alive during the collapse.

https://www.mdifitness.com/roe6qsap7m I’ve been traveling so I missed ABC’s big show last night, but if this criticism (below) is on target, then perhaps another missed opportunity… From a columnist at the SF Examiner: The evil that ABC did in broadcasting Earth 2100 will live on long after them. By presenting a fictional account of future global warming,… https://www.tomolpack.com/2025/03/11/pr3bq8t Continue Reading…
A news service of the U.N. that I find useful for its dispatches from developing countries asks, in an article, if there is a danger of “information overload” with the spate of alarming reports on the consequences of climate change, such as the most recent one released last week from the Global Humanitarian Forum.

Us?” What he rued then still holds true today: People think about “˜global warming’ in the way they think about “˜violence on television’ or “˜growing trade deficits’, as a marginal concern to them, if a concern at all.

Because I pop up (somewhat mysteriously–“who is Keith Kloor?”) as one of the culpable parties, I feel it’s important to correct some of his misleading inferences.

It’s a complex theory about how complex we’ve made the world, after several long cycles of change and adaptation –and why human civilization may now be on the cusp of social and ecological collapse.
