Look at the Pope going full doomer.

You may previously heard me mention: or better term instability is a part of the problem; its total cascading ecological collapse

Well, I present the most depressing scientific article, maybe ever?😭

I really hate being the

That is not the role I want. But this kinda makes me want to curl up into a ball and cry; but I have no one to hold me 😭

But its quite possible we are about 1 year away from David Bowie's "Five Years" making complete sense and being entirely relevant.

On doomers and sentinel intelligence.

Many of us have been identifying strongly with Cassandra over the last few years. We watch the media downplay and dismiss one threat after another. We endure endless opinion pieces about everything from climate alarmism to coronaphobia. Influencers accuse us of hurting everyone’s mental health. Strangers call us doomers and fearmongers. Our friends and family treat us like we’re paranoid. When we share dozens or even hundreds of studies, they refuse to look at them. They say, “I don’t want to read anything that’ll bring me down.”

“I’m trying to stay positive.”

....
Here’s the thing:

You’re not a fearmonger.

You have sentinel intelligence.

Sentinel intelligence refers to a special cognitive ability that allows someone to detect threats before anyone else. Richard A. Clarke and R.P. Eddy talk about this trait in their book.... They review a number of natural and economic disasters throughout history. ”Not only were Cassandra's ignored, but “the people with the power to respond often put more effort into discounting the Cassandra than saving lives and resources.”

Well worth reading!

Es sieht nicht gut aus. Die konkreten Zahlen haben mich dann doch nochmal erschreckt. Ich halte das nicht mehr für eine pessimistische, sondern realistische Einschätzung.

When reading headlines like these:

"Earth close to ‘risk tipping points’ that will damage our ability to deal with climate crisis, warns UN

Analysis also warns of further tipping points on horizon such as drying up of groundwater vital for food supplies"

It is clear that a collapse is not just a '' scenario, but a real threat. of that fact is step 1 towards a sane way of dealing with the situation. The next step would be to adopt another mindset. A very profound is needed.

Why it is unlikely that we can avoid a collapse of both the ecological system and western civilisation is the main topic of my book, but in the last part of it I focus mostly on the things that we can do that will soften our .

So true.

A Professor Eliot Jacobson post on 7 September, 2023, screenshot:
"To be a doomer you don't have to exaggerate warming, speculate about feedback loops and tipping points, believe huge methane releases from permafrost are imminent or think 400 nuclear power plants will melt down.

All you have to do is understand overshoot and where we are today."

Der Faschismus wird leider richtig gut in die Zeiten der Klimakatastrophe passen. Der zuvor nur ideologisierte Kampf ums Überleben kann wieder als Notwendigkeit dargestellt werden. Siegreiche Starke können gefeiert und unterlegenen Schwachen Zugang zu Ressourcen und Daseinsberechtigung aberkannt werden.
