Why I'm Writing This, and Why Now

This is a serious collapse related article, for a change from Ghana in a region most at risk from disaster. Ghanaian activists, for decades, have persisted in sounding this alarm, largely ignored by successive governments. One of the deeper problems is that governments and many NGOs across much of Africa, keep reducing the response to the wider Polycrisis of Global Capitalism and Imperialism, which is worsening Climate Change.

Suicide Is the Only Honest Word for What's Happening

In this Climate Agenda episode, I'm speaking with Roger Hallam about his new book, Suicide: The Political & Legal Implications of Endless Mass Death, written while Roger was in prison. The book draws on his own sociological expertise in an effort to shed some light on this strange time in which we are living, where human life, as well as the biodiversity of the planet, are on the brink of passing through the eye of a needle.

Climate change

I'm sick of our energy's bills and temperature rising. This is when the city council has a plan in place that aims to reach net zero carbon by 2030 and should be helping us all to reduce energy use and cope better with extreme weather.

I'd be very grateful for your thoughts on this plan and ideas for how it could be improved.

Cheers

Better by Design?

​

I am posting this to highlight that we are heading towards 4 billion deaths this century due to climate breakdown. I live in Milton Keynes whose official strapline is Better by Design. This is especially unfortunate given that its car based, low density layout and high growth rate makes it one of the least sustainable cities in the UK.

For example, no other uk city has most of its main roads with 60 or 70mph speed limits. The council is proposing to reduce the speed limits in just a few sections due to high accident rates. This has created lots of complaints from people because they won't be able to drive across the city in 15 minutes anymore. See 4billiondead.org

🏚️ The End of the Nice Life

This is very much collapse related as it the principle theme of the article, specifically that most organs of our society still refuse to discuss the truth that billions are going to die due to the climate crisis, this century. Deals with sinking cities, burning cities, big oils lies, the looming food crisis, etc.
