Here's something interesting. "See how global warming has changed the world since your childhood" It will take some time for you to go through this but you would probably be well advised to take that time. It is made by Australians and mostly covers the Australian situation but obviously has connotations for the rest of... Continue Reading →
What Lies Ahead?
I have struggled to find something worth talking about for the past few days. The fate of our civilisation is cast in concrete - it's going to crash, and is already in the process of doing so. So there is not much to talk about there until some major event occurs - probably next year.... Continue Reading →
Even At The Edge Of The Earth
Almost a month ago I wrote this piece, moved by a simple streamed video. I know that I never finished the story but I cannot now breathe more life into it than I was able to do at the time. I therefore offer it exactly as when I left it. I hope it means something... Continue Reading →
It’s… Well, It’s Really Just The Absolute Inevitability Of It All…
Sharing a most revealing exposition (Hope and Vision in the Face of Collapse – The 4th R of Deep Adaptation)... with lines of enquiry that I have personally long awaited. The time is now. Get real... https://jembendell.com/2019/01/09/hope-and-vision-in-the-face-of-collapse-the-4th-r-of-deep-adaptation/ Dr Jem Bendell is a Professor of Sustainability Leadership and Founder of the Institute for Leadership and Sustainability (IFLAS)...

The End of Human Rights
As we bid goodbye to 2018 - and why wouldn't we want to? - it is time to take a very brief - we don't need to look too closely or we might become a little despondent - look at what the past year has been all about. One thing, above all else, stands out... Continue Reading →
Crapola, Crapola, Crapola
There is so much crap online these days in supposedly 'Clean, Green, Eco-aware, Environment-Friendly, Forward-Thinking, Concerned, Activist' sites like The Climate Reality Project, that the situation is unbelievable. Someone has to be kidding. That site should be called 'The Climate Con Project'. Do I sound like a denialist? Well, I am not. Quite the contrary. ... Continue Reading →
So, Basically, We’re Trapped With No Way Out
I'm not going to say anything, other than pose the question - "When are people going to accept this and stop trying to fix climate change?" I will leave Bill McKibben to explain the situation: Global Warming’s Terrifying New Chemistry. Not that he reaches the same conclusions as I do. No climate change expert does,... Continue Reading →
Playing With Fire
Well, there you go. You play with fire, eventually you will get burned fingers.

Calving Ice, Redux
It has been three years since I first saw this amazing video. It was hard to convince anybody about the reality of climate change back then. Few were interested. That has changed some, a little, now, I guess, and as the next year and years roll out, that interest will continue to grow, simply because... Continue Reading →
Not Something Else
