Quite a revelation Rachel, seems The Planet’s not so Critical. Ah! Population: Phoebe Barnard, Nandita Bajaj, Bill Ryerson, Bill Rees methods of leveraging behavioral science, media, education and norm-shifting strategies has fallen on deaf ears, sadly for The Planet their methods always will🤔

Clueless BasementSkeleton, only though knowledge and experience can you form an honest opinion of what’s relative and what’s not, and what’s true and what isn’t. It’s up to you whether you care or not, store the list away, perhaps to view its information on some rainy day🤔

You might not be a Doomer Hugo, I am, it’s what becomes of being a pragmatic realist. James Lovelock was an Apocaloptomist. Lovelock’s view evolved over time, from a massive die off, to expressing hope through the potential emergence of a new, more intelligent life form, presumably Elon Musk🤔

What planet do you live on Brian, as you obviously believe if the global economy regresses (by removing FREE FINITE Flammable Fossils) everyone is just going to fall in love with each other, and of course you and your loved ones will be safe. Get yourself a copy of Kurt Dahl’s “American Famine”🤔

Hugo, Nandita Bajaj apart, Dr. Sofia Pineda Ochoa’s documentary film “GREENWASHED” is the best bit of Doomer porn, I’ve come across all humanity’s problem predicaments are there to see, all we’ve got to do is reduce the population, problems solved, except, ain’t gonna’ happen. WASF 😮 🤔

I commend you Hugo, I didn’t make the connection. First came across Nandita Bajaj on Rachel Donald’s “Planet Critical” 2 yrs ago. One of Nandita’s most recent appearances “Confronting Population Denial Amid Unraveling Crises - Nandita Bajaj”🤔

Strange BasementSkeleton you used the word “morons”. Sam Mitchell calls all humans “clueless morons” that’s you, me, everyone, and he more than most should know. For starters Sam’s not a breeder, and then he’s interviewed experts, authors, activists, scientists, and thinkers, you may know of some👇🤔

BasementSkeleton, the poly and meta-crisis are not problems they’re predicaments. Check out what a predicament is. Some time ago I came across a solution to the population problem, it’s not mine, it’s by Sam Mitchell King of the Doomers. It might be a bit late to work now, but give it some thought👇

We all die eventually BasementSkeleton, but we don’t want to dwell on that. ~70,000,000 additional planet eaters are added per year, last year, this year, next year, and the year after that… and that’s reflected in these charts🤔

Hey! BasementSkeleton, don’t blame me, you came back to me with information that was evidently misinformation, there’s a difference between facts and misinformation. I’ve probably said it before, whenever you get the opportunity to enjoy yourself take it, as we all should, whilst we still can🤔

“large portion running on green energy” Really! Globally only ~20% of energy is supplied in the form of electricity, and only ~2% of that is provided by REbuildables/Alternative Energy of which Nuclear Power is a fraction of that, leaving ~80% still reliant on FREE FINITE Flammable Fossils🤔

Yes Sherry, no apology necessary. I apologise for gate crashing, I was only given the opportunity, attention seeking for Dr. Sofia Pineda Ochoa’s “GREENWASHED”. If you’re being honest and view it, that’s as much as I could expect, what you do with it’s message afterwards is up to you🤔

You’re squirming George; the population is increasing. "Democracy cannot survive overpopulation. Human dignity cannot survive it. Convenience and decency cannot survive it. As you put more and more people onto the world the value of life not only declines, but it disappears” — Isaac Asimov🤔

He said even less about his posting to Burma and fighting the Japanese. But amongst his medals was the Burma Star. He hated the Japanese, he gave me this book👇. He was not happy about my buying Japanese manufactured products, but had no qualms about my buying German ones🤔

At the beginning of the war father was with BEF at St Nazaire "The Forgotten Evacuation". He was due to board Lancastria but it was bombed and sank in sight, he boarded SS Oronsay also bombed but he an it survived. Later in the war he was posted to Burma👇

Insurance Co’s actions reflect the reality of anthropogenic global heating (AGH), driven by hard data and financial necessity, not greed. Their withdrawals and premium hikes mirror the escalating risks of floods and fires, directly undermining AGH denialist claims🤔

I’m not into horses ‘Zuthal’, though the skills of stable groom, farrier or blacksmith could well be priceless in the future. “WHY ARE WE STILL BURNING HYDROCARBONS?” A good question, which this book goes a long way in answering 👇, obtain yourself a copy, but not if you’re into wishful thinking🤔

…these ideals could be limited to pockets of resilience, with broader society struggling against fear, scarcity, and division. The future would hinge on how effectively these principles are taught and practiced before and during the collapse. Or through chaos and anarchy turn into this👇🤔

Ever wondered ‘Green Living’ what might to happen if lights go out, trucks stop running and mental institution’s and prison’s wardens and officers leave their duties in search of food and survival, leaving some of the worst of humanity to fend for themselves. “Hell is the truth seen too late”👇🤔

Don’t want to give too much away of “An American Famine” ‘Buddysystem’, but when trucks stop running food rapidly disappears especially in urban areas. Ask yourself what happens to high security prisons and mental institutions when warden’s and officers start to abandon them🤔

Leaving grief behind by planning for the future is difficult Gwen, when you don’t know what the future has in store. If it’s concern about surviving the coming collapse then read Kurt Dahl’s “An American Famine” to learn what humans will do to survive and protect themselves and loved ones🤔

Wendy, Cunt (Germanic kuntō) a vulgar word for the vulva in its primary sense, the word used in a variety of ways, including as a term of disparagement. Cunt’s used to be useful, but now they’re one of humanity’s primary problems, the other’s the penis👇🤔

I’m sure you know this Robert, the blades are constructed from fibreglass, resin, and balsa wood. The fibreglass is fairly inert but epoxy resin and balsa wood are flammable. But I was to a degree being cynical thinking towards when Oil’s run out. But whatever they do present a pollution problem🤔

Recycling particularly when coupled with the word sustainable, is just Greenwashing, but then those with cognitive dissonance would not recognise that. We could argue ClimateHope about recycling WT blades untill the cows come home, but at the end of the day the environment is the looser.

Sadly without a miracle this is what will happen, it’s just a matter of timing before industrial society collapses, some say it’s already started. Anyone interested in peering into the abyss should read Kurt Dahl’s “An American Famine” it’s a book to wake up to, but not to be read at bedtime👇🤔
