Victor Gorshkov: a life for the biosphere.
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 […]
Workers’ Power vs. Climate Destroyers: What It Will Take to Save the Planet
Workers’ Power vs. Climate Destroyers: What It Will Take to Save the Planet Humanity faces a multi-faceted crisis.

Shrinking the Technosphere, Part IV
Shrinking the Technosphere, Part IV In the previous parts of this series, we started picking away at a very big subject: what a successful strategy for bringing about rapid social change would look like, such social change being necessary if we were to avoid the worst ravages of catastrophic climate change. This change must introduce […]
Leaving Our Children Nothing
Leaving Our Children Nothing Our generation has a unique opportunity. If we set our minds to it, we could be the first in human history to leave our children nothing: no greenhouse-gas emissions, no poverty, and no biodiversity loss. That is the course that world leaders set when they met at the United Nations in […]
‘An Ecomodernist Manifesto’: Truth and confusion in the same breath
‘An Ecomodernist Manifesto’: Truth and confusion in the same breath I really do want to applaud the Breakthrough Institute’s recently released paper called “An Ecomodernist Manifesto.” It speaks with candor about the possible catastrophic consequences of unchecked climate change. It recognizes the large footprint of humankind in the biosphere. It wants to address both, and it wants to do […]
