Regenerative agriculture
Regenerative agriculture Living in a city or out in the suburbs one might not think too much about what it takes to produce the food we eat and why healthy agriculture is so important. But conventional farming is unsustainable: substantial amounts of topsoil are being lost by erosion. Arable land is being degraded and lost. The […]

Nuclear waste will last a lot longer than climate change
Nuclear waste will last a lot longer than climate change Preface. One of the most tragic aspects of peak oil is that it is very unlikely once energy descent begins that oil will be expended to clean up our nuclear mess. Or before descent either. Anyone who survives peak fossil fuels and after that, rising […]

There Will Be No Recovery Without Production
THERE WILL BE NO RECOVERY WITHOUT PRODUCTION Through most of the coronavirus crisis, those who have made the case for stay-at-home, reduce or stop work, and narrow the range of retail shopping to assure “social distancing” to reduce the spread of the virus have accused their critics of being more interested in preserving livelihoods than […]
Our Fate Is Sealed, Vaccines Won’t Matter: Four Long Cycles Align
Our Fate Is Sealed, Vaccines Won’t Matter: Four Long Cycles Align A Covid-19 vaccine, or lack thereof, will have zero effect in terms of reversing these cycles. Call it Fate, call it karma, call it what you will, but the cycles have aligned and nothing can stop the unraveling of all that was foolishly presumed […]
Collecting Clean Water from Polluted Sources with Natural Filtration Systems
Collecting Clean Water from Polluted Sources with Natural Filtration Systems Being involved with permaculture helps one develop a mild obsession (and that’s putting it mildly) with water. Long before I was a certified designer, just an avid reader of permaculture texts and articles, and a compulsive watcher of Geoff Lawton YouTube videos, I was looking […]

The Unspoken Reason for Lockdowns
The Unspoken Reason for Lockdowns Governments cannot openly admit that the “controlled easing” of COVID-19 lockdowns in fact means controlled progress toward so-called herd immunity to the virus. Much better, then, to pursue this objective silently, under a cloud of obfuscation, and hope that a vaccine will arrive before most of the population gets infected. […]

Victor Gorshkov: a life for the biosphere. The basic concept of the biotic regulation of Earth’s temperature according to Gorshkov et al, 2002. The figure shows the potential function U(T) for the global mean surface temperature. Stable states correspond to pits, unstable states to hills. The modern value of +15°C (288 K) approximately corresponds to an unstable […]
Lethal or Contagious
Lethal or Contagious There was this comment at the Automatic Earth yesterday that got me thinking. It was sort of wrapped in a bit of -more- innuendo about health officials not getting the results they were looking for in COVID19 numbers, as if the whole virus event is some goal-seeked conspiracy. You’ll be familiar with […]

The Perpetual Crisis: Now The WHO Is Telling Us That COVID-19 “May Never Go Away”
The Perpetual Crisis: Now The WHO Is Telling Us That COVID-19 “May Never Go Away” Are you ready for “the new normal” to become permanent? Originally, most of us assumed that “shelter-in-place orders” and “social distancing restrictions” would just be temporary, but now top health officials are warning us that some of these temporary measures […]
