Just Collapse

Collapse is now. Even as climate scientists and commentators shift the baseline and pretend the ‘new normal’ is normal and adaptation is possible, collapse continues to unfold. Those already experiencing marginalisation are impacted first and worst, which is why we act for a #JustCollapse!

When Is The Collapse Going to Start? The definitive answer.

Collapse is now!

When is collapse?

‘It depends on where you live. It depends on how much money you make. It depends on how old you are… It depends on whether you have a chronic illness. It depends on your gender… on your race… on your nationality… on your religion.’ @jessicawildfire.bsky.social 👇

THE BEAKER STREET DEBATE Natasha Mitchell hosts the battle of brains and bravado

Is it the end of the world? Have our multi-crises of climate change, over-consumption etc brought us to the brink?

Join two teams of science and culture heavy hitters for this battle of brains and bravado. Yes, that includes me - on the affirmative team!

How much for a lettuce? As food prices spike under climate change pressures, economic instability and geopolitical tensions worsen. Growing and storing food at home and in communities won’t stop collapse but can achieve some measure of socio-ecological justice to ease the descent. #JustCollapse

Another reason to #TalkCollapse for a #JustCollapse.

Degrowth says we can have a high-tech equitable global society, even in climate-ecological collapse. #JustCollapse makes no such false promise. Instead, we stand for achieving as much socio-ecological justice as possible, not thru high-tech but by salvaging from what already exists.

No, we can’t have our cake and eat it too:

Reclaiming Energy, Reimagining Power:Building Energy Futures from Below Madhuresh Kumar In the light of the unfolding climate catastrophes and the unfolding crisis the language of energy transition has gained unprecedented traction. From the corridors of the Parliament…

HYPERGROWTH: ‘this transition is not only false, it is dangerous in its deceit... This so-called ‘green shift’ is not a rupture, but a continuation of extractivist logic in new, technocratic forms.’ - Madhuresh Kumar

Don’t just collapse, #JustCollapse

Past civilisations have collapsed leaving footprints and cultures to reinvent and morph into something new. In rapid global climate-ecological collapse, this is not an option - new research into the Great Dying around 250 million years ago. #TalkCollapse

Around 250 million years ago, Earth was near-lifeless and locked in a hothouse state. Now scientists know why The answer confirms scientists’ suspicion that when our planet’s climate crosses certain ‘tipping points’, truly catastrophic ecological collapse can follow.

There will be no post-collapse - new science:

‘A key implication of our work, however, is that life on Earth, while resilient, is unable to respond to massive changes on short time scales…’

This is why we act NOW for a #JustCollapse.

People are already acting now for a #JustCollapse. This is different from hoping that everyone will change everything to save everything. Sometimes doomers are as stupid as climate deniers and climate activists.

Must read new research: It’s sometimes hard, in the individualist West, to imagine being involved in collective responses. Social work is one area that is already collapse-ready, building mutually beneficial networks and aid in dire circumstances. #InsurgentPlanning #MutualAid

New research: “aimed at reducing oppression during crises… mutually beneficial networks of skills and resources…the possibility of enduring within instability, adapting to conditions that may continue to deteriorate, even to the ultimate outcome of species extinction” @hopeforfuture1.bsky.social

Climate-ecological collapse is made all the worse through the legacies of colonialisation, escalating conflict, and the growing confidence of the far right. But some people are doing astonishing mental gymnastics to claim ‘there’s still time’ and ‘a better future’s possible’.

A ‘climate apocalypse’ is all but inevitable. Why aren’t we planning for it? Not only must every Princeton student think about what sort of life they can — or should — build in the context of an ever-warming world, but also that the climate activists on campus who intend to sp...

An impressive example of mental gymnastics: www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2025...

Sick and tired of staring into the abyss? Have you tried screaming into the void?

Denying the dreadful reality of our global predicament is leading many to impressive mental gymnastics.

But the truth is - #CollapseDenial is the new #ClimateDenial!

Climate change is combining with environmental toxins and leading to the collapse of insect populations even in remote and wild places. This leads to cascading food chain and ecological collapse. Everybody has the right to know. Combat #CollapseDenial - #TalkCollapse!

‘Half the tree of life’: ecologists’ horror as nature reserves are emptied of insects A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides

‘“New era” of ecological collapse, where rapid extinctions occur in regions that have little direct contact with people.’

Germany - flying insects dropped 75%.
US - beetle numbers dropped 83%.
Puerto Rico - insect biomass dropped up to 60-fold.

LIES LEAD TO FASCISM.
- #TalkCollapse because this is collapse.

Which lie triggers you most? ‘Renewable’ transition? Post-collapse ecotopia? Sustainable industrial civilisation? Net zero? AI solutions? Agenda 21 conspiracy theory? Collapse is avoidable? Something else?

Lies lead to fascism - #TalkCollapse because this is collapse.

Everyone has the right to know about the irreversibility of climate-ecological collapse, but the lies keep coming.

For a #JustCollapse, tell the truth - the real truth!
