The Age of Lies Arguably, the most dangerous pandemic ever to strike humanity is the plague of deliberate misinformation, mass delusion and unfounded belief which is engulfing 21st Century society.

"The fossil fuels sector is the primary driver of both CO2 and CH4 emissions and is showing every intention of increasing its activity. It screens this lethal activity behind a barrage of dishonesty, disinformation, distortion, and diversion." - Julian Cribb #global #climatechange #science #earth

"But we also need a majority of wise women in positions of power if we are to escape the fate which male aggression, overconsumption and overpollution are building for us. And a majority female population, engendered by global heating, could just help to achieve that."

To feed just one average person per day takes 950 litres of water, 12 kilos of lost soil, 1.6 litres of fossil fuel, 1g of highly toxic pesticide and 4.9 kilos of carbon emissions.

Will climate change put women in the ascendant? In one of the more startling side-effects of global warming, the hotter it gets, the more babies are being born female.

Even desal will not supply water for agriculture, which is the main user of fresh water. No water, no food.

Water bankruptcy is no longer a future threat Across large parts of the world, water demand now permanently exceeds supply. This is not a temporary crisis but a condition of irreversible scarcity driven by overuse, climate change and population pressure.

Water scarcity is no longer a passing crisis. In many regions demand now permanently exceeds supply – a condition experts call water bankruptcy, @JulianCribb writes.

"Unless humans very quickly learn to think of #water as finite, and to realise our numbers have outrun the supply, then global water bankruptcy awaits us all. And that is very much worse than fiscal bankruptcy." - Julian Cribb

When the water runs out... The clearest sign that the human population has outrun the Earth’s ability to support us comes when key resources begin to collapse under the unrelenting pressure of our demands.

For over seven thousand years, most cities and towns have been situated in river valleys.

“Humanity now faces perhaps the biggest choice it will ever make: continue down the road to a future devastated by climate change, dwindling nature, degraded land, and polluted air, land and water, or change direction to secure a healthy planet, healthy people and prosperity for all.” (UN Sept 2025)

The collapse of Nature ... and what it means for us.

Collapse is near, scientists warn The apocalypse of civilization is now closer than it has ever been in the whole of human history.

The overseas wars are necessary to distract Americans from their own enslavement and repression… as in the Galtieri regime in Argentina.

De-icing the Earth: a fatal human choice. Having just achieved the hottest three years in recorded history, humans are well on the way to returning the planet to the ice-free state it experienced when dinosaurs last ruled.

Destroying the Earth's only cooling plant will destroy humans too...

Ten threats, one emergency: how to become Earth Citizens Humanity is facing a compounding crisis driven by population growth, consumption, pollution and power. These interconnected threats cannot be addressed one by one if civilisation is to endure.

There is little of significance in the global climate data which suggests any political will is going to be applied to actually reduce fossil fuel emissions & arrest the upward, & accelerating, trend of global warming

Rivers of Death The rivers that are the lifeblood of the planet and of human civilisation are dying.

Our whole [modern industrial techno] civilisation is built on #rivers.

And when the rivers go, #civilisation goes with them.

They are a glaring warning lamp for our own #future." by @juliancribb.bsky.social

Humanity's worst crime In the entire canon of human history, there is no worse crime than the killing and maiming of children.

Great Hornbill (Buceros bicornis) is standing sentry on a bare tree branch.

Hornbills are crucial to forest health, acting as seed dispersers. Protecting them means protecting the entire ecosystem. 🌳

The wisdom of the elders, the greed of the rich As the planet spirals toward environmental collapse, elders like Attenborough, Earle, Hansen and Suzuki have spent decades warning us – and offering hope. But the billionaires in bunkers aren't listen...

The sheer weight of AI hype from the Big Tech corporations forms the biggest begging bowl to govts we have ever seen, but it is disturbing & serious food for thought that Geoffrey Hinton, pioneer & expert on artificial neural networks, seems genuinely fearful about AGI usurping it's human masters.
