Gaia – the living global ecological system – is collapsing and dying as human industrial growth overruns natural ecosystems and climate.

It’s the End of the World and I Don’t Have Much New to Say
“Abrupt climate change is careening out of control, as the impacts of dramatic polar ice melt are given short shrift… Not a lot of new land is being made, and much of what remains is tawdry remnants of their former productive glory… And the middle class and political moderation are fading away.

Mass Migration Portends Fascism and Biosphere Collapse Unless We Share
Decades of ignoring the converging crises of climate change, ecosystem loss, nationalism, and inequity are reaching their logical conclusion as Europe and America are threatened with inundation by desperate peoples.

The Appalling Meaninglessness of Being in a Post-Modern, Pre-Apocalyptic World
Nothing really seems to matter much when your Planet is needlessly collapsing and dying. Big important ideas to base your life upon are in short supply.

Time of Great Dying: Population Bomb Bursts, the End of Old-Growth Forests, and the Great Awakening
Gaia, the living biosphere, is infested with humans. Not just any humans, but the type that grow fat and reproduce exponentially by liquidating natural ecosystems. The population bomb has burst and we are seeing daily the predicted consequences of collapse and death in the climate, water, oceans, and on the land. Having spent much of…… Continue reading Time of Great Dying: Population Bomb Bursts, the End of Old-Growth Forests, and the Great Awakening
Grotesque Global Inequity Threatens Ecological Collapse and Horrific Death for All
Hundreds of millions of global elites feast upon the finest delicacies a diminished Earth has to offer, as billions struggle to meet basic needs, and oligarchs amass unheard of wealth and entire governments. Each in their own way destroys our one shared biosphere that makes Earth habitable. “May you live your life as if the…… Continue reading Grotesque Global Inequity Threatens Ecological Collapse and Horrific Death for All
