Gardner promises to launch a "National Project to Get the U.S. Out of Ecological Overshoot." He explains ecological overshoot means people are demanding more from Earth than she can sustainably provide year after year, and the people of the U.S. are demanding more than their share. Dave Gardner warns, "Continued business as usual will result in a dead planet."

The Club of Rome is reluctant to point the finger at any one nation, yet clearly nations like the United States, which consumes approximately 60% of the world's resources, will, in the Club's view, have to accept a severe cutback in its voracious appetite.

@tupfentier Es ist nicht nur eine Klimakrise, es ist die Polykrisis, ein Komplex aus mehreren miteinander verbundenen globalen Krisen. Und der Treiber all dieser Krisen ist das Industriezeitalter, der Treiber ist das Wirtschaftswachstum. Um die Polykrisis zu stoppen, muß die reale Weltwirtschaft, muß der industrielle Umsatz von Materie und Energie um mehr als die Hälfte schrumpfen und dann für immer stagnieren, und das quasi sofort, innerhalb weniger Jahre. Und dabei müssen wir die Industrie, während sie schrumpft, auch noch so umbauen, daß sie die natürlichen Systeme dieses Planeten unterstützt und bei deren Erholung hilft, anstatt ihnen zu schaden. Wenn wir das hinbekommen, wird die Zivilisation immer noch untergehen, aber das dauert dann viele Jahrhunderte, und es gibt noch gute Chancen, daß danach neue Zivilisationen kommen, nur weit weniger technisiert mit weit weniger Menschen.
Wenn wir die Polykrisis nicht sehr schnell entschärft bekommen, dann wird die kapitalistische Weltwirtschaft noch ein paar Jahrzehnte weiterwachsen, dann aber nicht lange stagnieren, sondern in den freien Fall übergehen, und diese Zivilisation ist dann nicht nur in 100-150 Jahren komplett im Arsch, sondern es wird ganz einfach nie wieder eine Zivilisation geben, und falls die Gattung Homo das überlebt, werden zukünftige Hominide wieder ein nomadisches Wildbeuterleben führen müssen wie in der Altsteinzeit, nur mit Werkzeugen und Waffen aus Eisen und Stahl, solange noch was da ist zum Umschmieden. Und die Biosphäre ist natürlich arg verarmt durch das Artensterben, da wird die Zahl der Menschen wohl nie wieder sonderlich groß werden.

A population crash is inevitable due to advanced ecological overshoot. We must change consumption and growth to avoid civilization collapse. #population #ecology #overshoot

@jackofalltrades I don't agree with his approach to energy.
the problem is not what type of energy or what alternative fuel.
the problem is the fundamental need for energy per human being, and the organisation we have to consider that its abundance gives us the right to multiply without counting the cost, anywhere.
We've just passed the Malthusian ratchet, where we spend more per human being than the Earth can support.

Es ya imposible cumplir el objetivo de 1.5°C fijado ren el Acuerdo de París. Tendríamos que dejar de emitir CO2 a un ritmo que nadie quiere asumir.
Pero aún podemos evitar el desastre total.
Es hora de actuar.

Climate change isn’t a problem that can be solved by summoning the “will.” It isn’t a problem that can be “fixed” or “conquered,” though these words are often used. It isn’t going to have a happy ending, or a win-win ending, or, on a human timescale, any ending at all. Whatever we might want to believe about our future, there are limits, and we are up against them.

=======================

Only from deep acceptance can we arrive at meaningful changes an adjustments.

And only then.

@schymans @W_Lucht #altText : a calendar of #overshoot days of countries around the world. List of countries : see https://www.overshootday.org/newsroom/country-overshoot-days/dates/

@PleaseCaption

Today Wednesday 2nd August 2023 is #OverShoot day.
Today is the day that humans exceed the #Earths ability to regenerate resources - rest of the year humans are on borrowed time. What date is your country's Overshoot day?

'later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered
where does it hurt?

it answered
everywhere
everywhere
everywhere.'

Even temporarily exceeding #1.5 degrees may increase the risk of crossing climate thresholds & tipping the climate system into a new state.
Alpine glaciers may not reform; impacts on biodiversity may not be reversible.
#Overshoot scenarios rely heavily on #CO2 removal (#CDR). While several methods provide promise, we cannot guarantee that we will achieve substantial CDR, so rapid & deep emission cuts are imperative to limit occurrence, extent & duration of overshoot.
