Scientists like Zeke Hausfather have known that growth is growing and yet... Again, growth is growing for CO2 and climate forcing (W/m2). Where do we go from here?

Would it help if we grew the human population and eating meat in the meantime too?

2022 was the last time I discussed symptoms like extreme weather events. How much “documenting the obvious” do we need?

Like the guy at the party who has to explain to people what is happening at the party instead of partying..

Show me babies, meat or cars and I show you extreme weather and #NTHE

I live right next to the Danube. Back in 2022, the low levels “motivated” me to help co-launch a civil disobedience movement. The Last Movement.

It ended in 2024 for obvious reasons:
“Gesellschaft und Regierung wollten keinen Klimaschutz.”

Today, we can still do acceptance activism.

Growing bacteria in a petri dish with agar may not be an ideal metaphor for human overpopulation & #overshoot.

Bacteria follow a growth cycle governed by the physical space and resources available. Bacteria will stop growing to AVOID #extinction, they don't plan to grow infinitely.

Near-term human extinction seems to be the radical flank of the #collapse and #doomer community? Bad cop, good cop? MLK, Malcolm X? This is actually not how I personally see and feel it. I see a few who discuss causes & consequences (NTHE) and many who discuss symptoms of collapse.

Reality and nature are the only real teachers, claimed the Cynics of ancient times. Nature communicates consistently and patiently with us. But humans are a tad advice resistant unless it’s from a random influencer?

“Population growth and rising incomes [eating animals] remain the strongest drivers of increases in CO2 emissions."
- IPCC

#NTHE

We have destroyed most life support systems and wildlife on Earth for:

- Overpopulation
- Eating enslaved, inbred and tortured animals
- Burning living plants for energy (67% of forestry)

#NTHE

Humans have destroyed the baseline a long time ago. Back in 1860 when there were 1.2 bn humans, wildlife on land was already half of what it used to be. Back in 1860, we were overpopulated and in overshoot. Today we add 0.1 billion new humans every 1.5 years and increase meat per person.

Even when we stop killing nature, like we did with the commercial whaling ban in 1986, nature and food systems can't fully recover easily. #Wildlife recovery would mean +1000%, not +100% or 10%. Today we celebrate +10% for random species in random regions, missing the big picture & decline.

Post WWII we started a global war on #nature that now leads to near-term human extinction.

"The world’s largest penguin colony has declined by two-thirds since 2011."

2/3s gone in 15 years. Islands are bit like spheres.

I see people with expensive cars buy non-organic foods all the time. How many restaurants, also high-end, are organic? Priorities.

I have been 90-95% organic for 20 years now. Plant-based for much longer - which reduces pesticides by 2/3s or more.

Also, if you really and truly love the ocean (and nature), you do need a car. Naturally. 🫶

#NTHE

People who love the #ocean (like Epstein loved women) need boats or Surfboards made of plastics (glass-reinforced plastic or rotomolded polyethylene PU). Divers and surfers wetsuits are made of polychloroprene and nylon or polyester. Most people who "love the ocean" still eat fish?
