Guterres is right.

But the biggest insanity is that humanity is letting this happen. Year after year of warnings go by without us reacting. These companies, backed by powerless externally controlled politicians, are harming us, our children and future generations.

We sit silently waiting. Waiting for someone else to prevent the catastrophe for us. We sit still while they rape our democracies and our livelihoods. Who wants to be the first to be so stupid as to put restrictions on the status quo? When we in the rich West are profiting so beautifully from our parasitic way of life?

Anyone who even occasionally consumes the news is aware that society has a serious problem. Passively waiting and ignoring the danger is an active choice.
Doing nothing is a supposedly easy choice. The easy way out in the short term? None of us has the power to change anything? So we just lie down and die? Give up without a fight?

But let me get this straight. We really want to knowingly just watch our children's livelihoods being taken away? We don't want to protect and care for each other and fight for a world worth living in? My friends, I don't get it.

We all have the power to change. Together we have all the power.

Now is the time to stick together and unite behind our common values.
Now is the time we want to leave selfishness and greed behind.
Now is the time for real change.
Now is the time to get serious.
Now is the time for survival.

All the letters have been written, all the petitions submitted, the conferences have ended, all the fears and concerns expressed. But the messages drip off like on a Teflon pan without a mark. Now is the time to get serious.

Take care of your loved ones. Take care of those who are fighting for survival and those who can't. Get serious!

Let's talk about the future that kids and grandkids today face in the future.

They won't have access to clean air, clean water, even clean ground. All 3 of these are already polluted to the point of killing thousands of ppl every year.
None of these will get better in the future under our current BAU plan.

Human activity has caused the climate crisis. It's not hard to see that ending the most harmful of our activities is the best option if we are serious about addressing CC.

Worried about losing the perks in life that 1st world countries now enjoy?

Guess what.

Future generations won't have a choice. They'll never see the frivolities we take for granted every day.

If we aren't willing to sacrifice this wasteful lifestyle now, can we really say we care about their future?

I don't even have kids, but I'm willing to sacrifice now in an effort to make their bleak future just a bit better.

“ New research from eminent climate scientist Prof James Hansen and colleagues suggests a planet killing event. This is based on current CO2 levels in the atmosphere, not on future emissions. ‘Eventual global warming due to today’s GHG forcing alone – after slow feedbacks operate – is about 10°C.’ Collapse is inevitable. Justice isn’t. Plan now for a #JustCollapse.”

"The only 'solutions' that make any difference include reducing our ecological footprint."
Excellently put.

@planetofdub And I like them all. 😀 👍

Nevertheless, I expect
- Things are bad
- Things have to change
- Collapse is not an issue.
The End.

#TalkCollapse
We need a #JustCollapse.

@tuxom We should do as much as possible
...
and acknowledge that it's one of many important crises
...
and that we will likely not make it without collapse #TalkCollapse
...
and that we should aim for the most fair and best outcome for all humans & other beings #JustCollapse #communityresilience

@MurmeltHier Cool, dein #RationalesPrepping erinnert stark an #solidarischesPreppen und die Ideen um #JustCollapse.
Gerade finden sich ein paar progressive Leute, die diese Konzepte in den nächsten Monaten/Jahren auf kommunaler Ebene mit Leben füllen wollen.
(Preppen nicht den Rechten überlassen.)
Vermutlich müssen sich progressive Gruppen wie z. B. Transition Towns und die Kollapsbewussten der Klimabewegung verbinden, um diese lokale Resilienz aufzubauen.
Herzliche Grüße

@Kavah Habe ich da oben wirklich "Dommer" geschrieben? 😅

Bei allem richtigen Aktivismus sieht's derzeit doch eher leider nach #DegrowthByDisaster aus. 😬
Genau, dein Ideal kommt der Idee von #JustCollapse (#TeamKollaps) sehr nah. #GerechterKollaps, #solidarischesPreppen, Schadensbegrenzung.
Leider ist immer noch nicht allen bewusst, dass die #Klimakatastrophe nicht das ursächliche (& geschweige denn einzige) Problem ist.

Ja - gerne - grad ist so viel im Umbruch, Infos folgen. :mastogrin:

Where is the intersection of #JustCollapse and #EngagedBuddhism ?

See, this is why we have to keep struggling for a #JustCollapse: the decline of civilization begins everywhere, and is deeply demoralizing.

Learn how to make your own salsa, folks.

This is a link to a long paper on why universities are now part of the problem, and how we might rescue them as part of a #justcollapse . It was originally written for an edited volume but that project seems to have foundered, so I am putting it out here in case anyone is interested. It's a long read - 10,000 words - but relevant and, I hope, provocative and useful.

RT @JustCollapse
Greenpeace gets one thing right: 'Prepare for the unavoidable — with justice'. @Greenpeace how about naming up the 'unavoidable' for what it is - collapse? A planned collapse is a just collapse #justcollapse https://twitter.com/Greenpeace/status/1444749105104707592
