that confirmed the paradigm: that resource, especially #energy scarcity, will, as resources peak and decline, ultimately lead to societal #collapse. all the models assume that scenario, whether bardi's stuff, world3, you name it. this was the talk of the town in #environmentalist circles. we could all agree that exploiting finite resources is not #sustainable. it was simple, it was logic.

and then trump & COVID happened.

Too bad #Venezuela never reconsidered the #oil paradigm https://news.mongabay.com/2026/01/how-us-intervention-could-deepen-venezuelas-environmental-crisis/ My 2006 interview with #LakeMaracaibo #environmentalist here https://www.nikolaskozloff.com/blog/tags/Jorge%20Hinestroza #fossilfuels #climate #climatechange #maracaibo #maduro #trump #imperialism #fascism #renewables #mining

this system is currently running unimaginably enormous amounts of energy and resources which it extracts from the earth, at known price, at mostly unknown externalized costs, and then it funnels the returns to a teeny tiny % of the earths population.

again, as an #environmentalist: how long exactly did y'all expect this so-called world order to persist?

The image presents a text block containing a quote and attribution. The text states: "This awakening is multi-dimensional. It is not just a matter of becoming intellectually and dispassionately convinced of the reality and seriousness of climate change, Peak Oil, or any other specific problem. Rather, it entails an emotional, cultural, and political catharsis. The biblical metaphor of scales falling from one’s eyes is as apt as the pop culture meme of taking the red pill and seeing the world beyond the Matrix: in either case, waking up implies realizing that the very fabric of modern life is woven from illusion – thousands of illusions, in fact." Below the quote, it reads "Richard Heinberg, Peak Everything".

you know, all this end-of-world-order - talk, as an #environmentalist it is just like: oh yeah here we go again - end of the world, who would have thought.

the writing has been on the wall on that one for a while now for this #system for everyone to see. don't pretend you do not know what it says about #imperialist, #industrial #capitalism and its #sustainability

#trump is just one facette of what has been going on for 200 years now.

With international fascism on the march, persecution of environmentalists continues apace. Today, India.

My #PhotoArt tribute to #BigLonelyDoug - one of the biggest #DouglasFir #trees in the world.

Learn more about this lonely #OldGrowth tree:
"It has the third highest tree score and third widest diameter of any known Douglas-fir in Canada, following the Red Creek Fir in the nearby San Juan Valley and the Bonin Giant in the Coquitlam River watershed in British Columbia's Lower Mainland"

I always thought that #JRRTolkien's #Smaug was a metaphor for the #IndustrialAge and #WealthHoarding. It seems I'm not alone! #Tolkien was actually an #environmentalist and possibly a #socialist (though he describes himself as an #anarchist). Does that mean #LOTR will be banned by #Fascistic #Capitalists? Hmmmm...

#Dragonomics: Smaug and #ClimateChange

Posted on February 22, 2019 by Richard Fahey

Excerpt: "Today, we talk about dragons. I refer specifically to the greedy, northern (often fire-breathing) variety as described in Beowulf and featured in Tolkien’s #Hobbit, and I will consider how these monsters present #EnvironmentalCatastrophe as a direct result of #hoarding and #greed.

"My discussion of dragons and climate change continues my recent series of blogs interested in placing medieval literature (and in this case also modern medievalism) in conversation with current crises. This blog develops an earlier argument made in a paper at a 'Tolkien in Vermont' conference (2014), titled 'Dragonomics: Smaug and #Pollution on Middle-Earth,' in which I argue that pollution in Tolkien’s Hobbit is linked to both the literal destruction by the dragon, and the rampant greed that motivates Smaug and ultimately initiates the plunder and violence at the Battle of Five Armies."

The purple #seastar aka #OchreSeastar - Pisaster ochraceus - is one of the most commonly found #starfish along the coasts of #BritishColumbia. You can see they have thousands of tiny feet on their legs to help them move around.

The purple sea star is considered a #KeystoneSpecies & an essential indicator of #OceanHealth in #intertidal zone.

The first crewed orbit of #Luna/the Moon began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1968 when #Apollo8 inserted itself for the first of ten lunar orbits. They took the famed #Earthrise photo, which deeply affected the new #environmentalist movement, and did live broadcasts from the capsule.
