The battle for the future of farming: what you need to know
The battle for the future of farming: what you need to know It is widely agreed that today’s global agriculture system is a social and environmental failure. Business as usual is no longer an option: biodiversity loss and nitrogen pollution are exceeding planetary limits, and catastrophic risks of climate change demand immediate action. Most concede that there is […]
Imagine Earth Day in ten years
Imagine Earth Day in ten years It’s a bit of a challenge, to imagine what Earth Day will look like in ten years. Part of that challenge arises from the fact that it depends on what we do throughout that decade to deal with and try to correct the ravages of incipient climate change effects. […]
Mette Frederiksen, Boris Johnson: Reject Industry PR, Ban Glyphosate, Protect Public Health!
Mette Frederiksen, Boris Johnson: Reject Industry PR, Ban Glyphosate, Protect Public Health! On 9 April 2021, retired physician and health and environmental campaigner Dr Rosemary Mason wrote to the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (DEPA). She wanted to draw the agency’s attention to the findings that indicate the glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup causes high levels of mortality following contact […]
Next on the List of American Catastrophes? A Western Megadrought
Next on the List of American Catastrophes? A Western Megadrought I’ve written many articles for The Organic Prepper about the coming food shortages. Not just in the United States but all across the world. Food isn’t the only thing that is soon going to be in short supply. Fresh, clean water appears to be one of the prime shortages facing […]
Are we Headed into Another Ice Age?
Are we Headed into Another Ice Age? Our model has projected we are entering another “grand-minimum,” which will overtake the sun beginning in 2020 and will last through the 2050s, resulting in diminished magnetism, infrequent sunspot production, and less ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching Earth. This all means we are facing a global cooling period in […]
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh X
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh X Monte Alban, Mexico (1988) Photo by author Circumstances have kept me sidetracked from writing for a few months. As life has settled a bit, although the spring weather keeps me busy working in the food garden, I felt it time to post again. Here is a comment I wrote this […]
Unearthing the Work of Indigenous Master Horticulturalists
Unearthing the Work of Indigenous Master Horticulturalists These forest gardeners got sustainable returns for centuries. Dr. Chelsey Geralda Armstrong is now studying their work. The SFU team found ecological diversity was richer on the lands of ancient Indigenous villages than in neighbouring forests. Photo submitted. Ahistorical ecologist and her team at Simon Fraser University have made […]
Why mitigation will never stabilize the climate
Why mitigation will never stabilize the climate I have previously shown that it is too late to mitigate, by at least fifty years (see my earlier blog post of 18 January 2021). Central to that argument are the facts of self-reinforcing feedback loops, tipping points, and the realization that temperature increases from higher concentrations of Greenhouse […]
Biden’s Climate Plan: It’s Too Late for Gradualism
Biden’s Climate Plan: It’s Too Late for Gradualism Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair President Biden gave us his climate plan on March 31. It was buried inside his American Jobs Plan. The 12,000-word Fact Sheet about it released by the White House hardly acknowledges the climate emergency. The plan is presented as a jobs through infrastructure program. […]
Population Crisis
Population Crisis QUESTION: Marty, do you think this Deagel forecast for a drop in population that is not explained is just taking your forecast for the conclusion of the Sixth Wave? GB ANSWER: I am not sure what they are referring to or how they arrived at that conclusion. Yes, I have said there remains the risk […]
Climate scientists: concept of net zero is a dangerous trap
Climate scientists: concept of net zero is a dangerous trap Sometimes realisation comes in a blinding flash. Blurred outlines snap into shape and suddenly it all makes sense. Underneath such revelations is typically a much slower-dawning process. Doubts at the back of the mind grow. The sense of confusion that things cannot be made to fit […]
With ‘Piecemeal’ Budget, BC Is Headed Towards Climate Failure, Critics Say
With ‘Piecemeal’ Budget, BC Is Headed Towards Climate Failure, Critics Say Province’s investments are ‘very, very small compared to the challenges.’ BC’s budget is a ‘missed opportunity to invest in things like a worker transition, electrifying the transportation sector and protecting our strongest environmental assets like old growth forests,’ says Green Leader Sonia Furstenau. This […]
Overshoot Doubt? Chris Clugston Kills It
Overshoot Doubt? Chris Clugston Kills It Thanks to Sam Hopkins for bringing my attention to the work of Chris Clugston. I’m pretty well read in the overshoot space and I thought I knew all the important contributors. Somehow I missed Chris Clugston. Clugston has written two books: Scarcity in 2012, and Blip in 2019. His unique contribution is to research […]
