Calling All Future-Eaters

19-07-2010 18:46 | Climate Chaos | History | Sheffield | World

The human species during its brief time on Earth has exhibited a remarkable capacity to kill itself off. The Cro-Magnons dispatched the gentler Neanderthals. The conquistadors, with the help of smallpox, decimated the native populations in the Americas. Modern industrial warfare in the 20th century took at least 100 million lives, most of them civilians. And now we sit passive and dumb as corporations and the leaders of industrialized nations ensure that climate change will accelerate to levels that could mean the extinction of our species. Homo sapiens, as the biologist Tim Flannery points out, are the "future-eaters."

Doomsday: How BP Gulf disaster may have triggered a 'world-killing' event

15-07-2010 13:06 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Energy Crisis | World

"The warning signs of an impending planetary catastrophe—of such great magnitude that the human mind has difficulty grasping it-would be the appearance of large fissures or rifts splitting open the ocean floor, a rise in the elevation of the seabed, and the massive venting of methane and other gases into the surrounding water.  Such occurrences can lead to the rupture of the methane bubble containment—it can then permit the methane to breach the subterranean depths and undergo an explosive decompression as it catapults into the Gulf waters. [6]  All three warning signs are documented to be occurring in the Gulf."

Dear World,

It’s been a tough year: in North America, oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico; in Asia some of the highest temperatures ever recorded; in the Arctic, the fastest melting of sea ice ever seen; in Latin America, record rainfalls washing away whole mountainsides.

So we’re having a party.

After the oil rush: BP news

Doubt rises that BP relief wells won't work. Beyond oil, is transition to a clean economy - if we don't crash first. Dr. Kessler just back from the Gulf talks methane. Will the BP spill damage the climate, as much as the oceans? Alex wraps up the big picture - including record heat, extreme floods, record Arctic ice melt, & the dying economy.

The anguish of the age: Emotional reactions to collapse

We live amidst multiple crises -- economic and political, cultural and ecological -- that pose a significant threat to human life as we understand it.

There is no way to be awake to the depth of these crises without an emotional reaction. There is no way to be aware of the pain caused by these systemic failures without some experience of dread, depression, distress.

To be fully alive today is to live with anguish, not for one’s own condition in the world but for the condition of the world, for a world that is in collapse.
