TSHTF<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n

You just know everything\u2019s going pear shaped when the venerable acronym TSHTF, well known in our circles, hits mainstream media\u2026.. The below article written by Fiona Blackwood from the Hobart ABC Bureau appeared on the ABC News website and it\u2019s so full of ironies I just had to pull it apart. So please bear with what will turn out to be an editing nightmare on my phone while I am still without a working laptop\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTasmania has been listed alongside New Zealand, Iceland, the United Kingdom\u00a0and Ireland as potential havens of the future.\u201d\u00a0Right\u2026.. So whoever wrote this has no idea about food security, because literally nowhere in the northern hemisphere is safe AFAIC<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe study, published in the journal Sustainability,\u00a0found Tasmania could become recognised \u201cas Australia\u2019s \u2018local refuge (lifeboat)\u2019 as conditions on the continental mainland may become less amenable to supporting large human populations in the future\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cTasmania scored highly in the report in terms of its climate, electricity supply, agricultural resources and population density.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe study states that rising populations and energy use have\u00a0led to climate change, increased risk of pandemics and ecological destruction.<\/p>\n

As a result, it found that human civilisation is in a \u201cperilous position with regards to its future\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cProfessor of Human Geography and Planning at the University of Tasmania Jason Byrne\u00a0agreed the state would be a good option to seek refuge \u201cif things went pear-shaped globally\u201d.<\/p>\n
