So sorry all this is happening to you and others. It’s surreal watching it from afar. A feeling of helplessness everywhere. The speed of change must be exhausting for you.

The collapsing.
‘Lockdowns’ will become more frequent. Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston announcing the details in the hope of preventing fires in tinder dry extreme heat.
This is just the beginning. Our failure has been in not imagining what is coming.

A topic so many avoid @collapsewatch3.bsky.social , to our detriment. People should have the choice, particularly in the collapsing.

“…it’s about how we live within it.”
A thread worth reading
⬇️

Very nicely put together @sonofscience.bsky.social A great resource, particularly for the Doomer newbies.

“Something no motivational quote could’ve prepared you for.” 👌

“The Sixth Extinction won’t arrive as a headline — it’s already here, in the fading of lives too ordinary for us to measure.”

Criminal negligence.

Have just started reading Richard Crim’s work thanks to @d3v1ls7h3r4p157.bsky.social
“We aren’t just “warming up” the Arctic.
We have set off a CARBON BOMB.
One that has the potential to boost atmospheric CO2 levels into the 1200ppm to 1500ppm range.
…A MASS EXTINCTION has started.”

It is “screaming into the void”.
Thank you for the introduction to Richard Crim’s work on substack. I’ll have to go back over it carefully to understand it all.
“The current rate of CO2 increase is 132 TIMES faster than the catastrophic warming that triggered the ‘Great Dying’.”
We’re f‼️ked.

As we say here ‘fair enough’. I take your point.
I’m hoping to get some time to check out the doomers delux. Thanks

@tsakraklides.bsky.social , you might be interested in this?

Thank you. It must take significant time to distil all your thinking into the essays/newsletters you write. 🙏

….tries to take full control. This is the greatest challenge of our civilisation.”

“We can educate ourselves on our cognitive biases and address them, instead of preparing future humans to become destruction machines in an already collapsing world. We can try to rise above the RELD if we recognise it, call it for what it is and respond to it with counterarguments every time it …/3

Thank you, again, Mr Tsakraklides. You continue to challenge us.

Another visible symptom of the collapsing state of homo colossus dragging everything down with it. This is what we have become.

They and others are dead quiet because to deal with the collapsing means to admit that everything we are now doing as a species is destructive. Very few are prepared to give up the comforts….

The news will not get better.

“The result is a collapse of the ecosystem: copepods vanish, fish populations plummet, while jellyfish thrive unchecked.”

Well said.

3. As @serenaribena.bsky.social says, it changes….

The fossil fuel industry has been making a $3,000,000,000 profit EVERY SINGLE DAY for over 50 YEARS.

They can’t believe their luck.

Governments & politicians are willing to sell out their souls & our childrens’ chances of a survivable future for chicken feed.

252 million years ago the Earth’s temperature increased by 8C over 60,000 years, killing 90% of life on Earth in a period known as ‘The Great Dying’.

We’re on track for 4C rise above preindustrial temp in our children’s life times.

We’re living through ‘The Great Slaughter’.

Well said.

Homo colossus in denial.

“…more than 13 degrees Celsius hotter than the 1991-2020 average May daily maximum temperatures”

Worth reading that again slowly: “…more than 13 degrees Celsius hotter than the 1991-2020 average May daily maximum temperatures”

This is playing out in the worst kinds of ways in far too many countries.

It’s not much different here in Australia.

One of my obsessions…
