Overshot the Carrying Capacity

@overshot.bsky.social

Opinionated cartoons and views on how we are doing, backed with evidence, but happy to learn more. Unfortunately my limited talent to draw isn't matching the ideas in my head. I seem to be using this account for commentary.

Cartoon by @inkcinct.com.au - which I apologise for messing with.

A Koala's body is shaking and it is looking sad, clinging to a tree stump, surrounded by other tree stumps.

Two suited people are looking at the koala, and one says: "This young koala has a mental health problem"

I have crossed out "has" to say "This young koala does not have a mental health problem", and labeled the man "Wes Streeting".

Kolbert: Ccs is vital without being viable.

Nice turn of phrase.

Seems like this was carried out, with an economist's level understanding of species and habitat.

I think Private Eye had a simpler thermometer, with "the end" higher up the stem.

Cartoon with one person holding up a sign saying "the end is thursday", whereas a more seasoned doomsayer had a sign saying "the end is near", with a thought bubble: "amateur."

JHB has got form. "BBC Question Time" thought she was worthy to be a guest, where she said similar things.

Yep: "needing to support growth to stay relevant". It does seem to be a shibboleth to weed out radicals. Prioritising trees, soil, oceans and rivers or daring to mention population as a factor in human impact ... get ready to be labelled unrealistic, irrelevant or worse.

As per the "State of the Cryosphere Report 2025", I think we can all agree that "current warming levels of 1.2Β°C" feels sad that it doesn't even make it onto the graph.
