The only publication for climate action, covering the environment, biodiversity, net zero, renewable energy and regenerative approaches. It’s time for The New Climate.
Read writing from Alan Urban on Medium. Preparing for the collapse of global industrial civilization. Every day, Alan Urban and thousands of other voices read, write, and share important stories on Medium.
The CIO of Goldman Sachs has said that in the next year, companies at the forefront will begin to use AI agents as if they were employees — as team members with tasks to do.
For those trying to pay attention in our post-truth, post fact-checking brave new world that has such misinformation systems in it, Dr. Rees is a source to consider. The link: Climate Change, Overshoot and the Demise of Large Cities: Why large cities will need to contract or be abandoned altogether
“Que peut-on faire ?” se transforme souvent en “A qui la faute ?” avant d’atterrir sur “Prenons tous des initiatives à un maximum d’endroits”. A force d’observer ce schéma dans des discussions, je l’ai formalisé en Triangle de l’inaction pour gagner du temps et se focaliser directement sur les initiatives,
It’s better to burn out than fade away…until it kills you.
The year 2024 wasn’t just another chapter in the unfolding climate saga; it felt like the plot twist no one wanted to believe. For decades, climate scientists warned of ifs — if we pass this tipping…
In 2024, global average temperatures breached the critical threshold of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels — a tipping point long warned about by scientists. Instead of catalyzing swift global action, this milestone has only underscored a grim reality: the collapse of our global ecological and economic systems is not a distant possibility — it is unfolding before us. Climate change, combined with the many other dimensions of the polycrisis — resource depletion, biodiversity loss, political instability, and economic inequities — has created a perfect storm. This storm is not just brewing; it’s here.
A short definition of the polycrisis, including global environmental, geopolitical, and economic aspects.
The masses cry out for immediate solutions to long-term problems, inviting despots to lead them.
Why governmental climate plans are a complete joke.
On why collapse could be much closer than predicted: what happens when the Atlantic Ocean’s heart stops beating?
When it comes to writing about climate change … or energy transition … or resource depletion … the new “it” word seems to be COLLAPSE. Collapse is everywhere. But collapse is an inherently fuzzy…
Une augmentation et une intensification probables des vagues de chaleur
As an average citizen of the United States, one with no particular power over our political trajectory beyond my ability to vote and encourage others to vote, I have very little say in how our descent into a hotter, resource-depleted world will play out. This contrasts with how much I worry about that impending descent, its impact on my children and grandchildren, and its deep implications for the future of humanity writ large.
And what we need to do it right,
Climate change will cause agricultural failure and subsequent collapse of hyperfragile modern civilization, likely within 10–15 years. By 2050 total human population will likely be under 2 billion. Humans, along with most other animals, will go extinct before the end of this century. These impacts are locked in and cannot be averted. Everything in this article is supporting information for this conclusion.
Les instances internationales des géologues ont statué: le début de l’Anthropocène commence avec la bombe atomique. Ce fait fondamental est à la fois géologique et politique. Il est d’ailleurs au centre des préoccupations de penseurs hétérodoxes de l’écologie, tel Günther Anders. D’autres négligent la bombe et privilégient des utopies écologistes de petite échelle qui ne tiennent pas compte de la nécessaire gestion des armes et des centrales nucléaires. Dans l’entretien ci-dessous, Bruno Villalba, professeur de sciences politiques à AgroParisTech nous décrit les enjeux d’une prise en compte des technologies nucléaires pour une pensée de l’écologie mature et ancrée dans la réalité contemporaine, celle de l’Anthropocène.
It looks like we have to wait a little more to see the end of the oil age. Our desire to burn more and more stuff knows no limits — at least not when talking about the foreseeable future. Statements like “oil will be needed for at least another 10 years” or “independent experts agree that global oil and natural gas demand will increase over the next 30 years” suggest that transitioning to ‘renewables’ will have to wait a little. Will we burn as much carbon as we see fit then? Well, as usual, reality will have a thing or two to say in the matter.
Climate projections versus population projections - There is a puzzling disconnect at the core of climate science between climate projections and population projections. Indeed, comparing the two, one might be forgiven for thinking that population scientists and climate scientists live in two completely different worlds.
