Richard AshwellThe best & most comprehensive article I have read yet about the impending <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#collapse</a> due to <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/overshoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#overshoot</a>, and what we can, but why we won't, do anything about it.

Richard AshwellPoliticians not ambitious enough to save nature, say scientistsScientists say there has been an alarming lack of progress in saving nature as the UN <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biodiversity</a> summit, <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/COP16" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#COP16</a>, draws to a close.The scale of political ambition has not risen to the challenge of reducing the destruction of <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> that costs the economy billions, said one leading expert.<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy9jdpep4ydo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy9jdpep4ydo</a><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BiodiversityLoss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BiodiversityLoss</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environment</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#collapse</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Collapse2040" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Collapse2040</a>

Richard AshwellAlarm call as world's trees slide towards extinctionScientists assessing dangers posed to the world’s <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/trees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trees</a> have revealed that more than a third of species are facing <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/extinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#extinction</a> in the wild.The number of threatened trees now outweighs all threatened birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians put together, according to the latest update to the official extinction red list.<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c24558g69mgo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c24558g69mgo</a><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/MassExtinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MassExtinction</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SixthMassExtinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SixthMassExtinction</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biodiversity</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BiodiversityLoss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BiodiversityLoss</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environment</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#collapse</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Collapse2040" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Collapse2040</a>

Richard Ashwell<a href="https://climatejustice.social/@kentpitman" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@kentpitman</a> For me the <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/collapse2040" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#collapse2040</a> hashtag means the following:In 2040 if you are not growing your own food, assuming you still can given the increasingly eratic <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a>, then marauding bands of hungry armed looters will be doing their very best to steal it from you. The only people who will survive will be those who are rich enough to employ their own private army to defend the food they grow on land they claim to be theirs, and their employees, of course.In what order, and when, exactly, the things you mention will occur, I know not. There will, in any case, be multiple occurrences of all of them in various different places over the next couple of decades. These things are all happening now, and will simply grow in size and number until the population of the planet is reduced to a fraction of what it is now.And this will affect me, not just my children and grandchildren.No, most people simply don't have a clue about what is happening now, never mind what will happen in the future.What am I doing about it? Just living the best life I can while I can.

Kent Pitman<a href="https://climatejustice.social/@RichardAshwell" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@RichardAshwell</a> Oh, and I don't know what that <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/collapse2040" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#collapse2040</a> tag is about, but I expect collapse to happen sooner than that. For more than a decade I'd been saying 2035. Even that seems optimistic to me now. 2040 seems out right luxurious in terms of time. I just can't believe we'll get that much. And that's why I'm talking about our fates, not the fates of our kids. People report to care about their kids, but from the way they behave, and my bet that they believe it will affect only them and not ourselves, my sense is that they would sell out their kids in an instant for just a little more pleasure themselves, because that's what I see them doing everyday through inaction. It's just that now I think they aren't even going to get that little more pleasure because it's going to hit us too soon. Want the kids-seller-outers among us be sad...

Richard AshwellWhy the amount of <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CO2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CO2</a> in the atmosphere is accelerating and won't be coming down.
