  That’s like saying smoking gave you lung cancer - more smoking will fix it.

  Runaway climate change is but one of a number of existential predicaments under the Overshoot umbrella.

  I do not 100% agree with Eric, but we are on the same page.

  *The “Solution” Obsession*

  The obsession over “solutions” never seems to go away. I’ve detailed many times over the past (almost 4 years now) precisely why what we face is a set of symptom predicaments under a root predicament. The root predicament (not problem) is ecological overshoot, and symptom predicaments are items such as climate change, pollution loading, energy and resource decline (aka peak oil), biodiversity loss, extinction, and all other environmental issues that are typically called “problems” but which in reality have no solutions because they aren’t actually problems. We like to think that we have solutions by applying science to utilize technology to solve problems; and for things that are, in actuality, problems, it is possible to solve them in a reductionistic manner by ignoring the environmental degradation that comes along with building such technology, operating it, maintaining the infrastructure supporting it, and decommissioning said technology at the end of its service life and either scrapping it or replacing it. But while the original problem may appear to have been solved, brand new problems or even predicaments spring up in its place as a result of this process. This is why so-called “solutions” are really nothing more than bargaining. More often than not, they are bargaining to maintain civilization.

  Because civilization is unsustainable, attempting to maintain it is not only impossible, but foolhardy as well. Industrial civilization is collapsing as I write this, although since collapse is a long process and not an overnight event, we can expect it to limp along for quite some time yet, possibly another quarter century.

  Much of this has to do with optimism bias and denial of reality - not being able to see technology from a complete perspective instead of seeing only its positive attributes.”

  It’s going to be very hard for those neo liberal capitalists to count their corporate profits on a dead planet.

  Until the National Inventions Security Act of 1951 is taken out. It is illegal to patent over Unity devices. more energy out than put in. basically free energy. or carburetor’s like the Malcomb Bendals thunderstorm generator. that cuts all carbon emissions to 0 and improves fuel consumption by 40%. or the carburetor invented in 1949 at a California university that also got 400 miles to the gallon. facts  google it.  It was this very carburetor that got the National Inventions Security Act put in place in 1951. The engineers at Ford lobbied for it and won. In 2018, wired magazine published an article pointing out that in 2015, 5,000 free energy device patents were blocked by this or a national security order. The reason is our money is backed by petrol, hence the petrol dollar. Burning things for fuel has been obsolete since 1949, but the inventors security act keeps us in the dark ages all because of greed and its destroying the planet from the perspective we can totally get around today but won’t because of greed. Solar and wind are makers; free energy is not.  there is a great documentary called The Lost Century and How To Reclaim it.  Its free now on rumble go watch it!
