I'm fine with the revolution, but it does very little when dealing with preventing the collapse from the overshoot of the carrying capacity of the global ecosystem. Read the fine paper, your attitude is in line with what it describes.
Strange. It works for me. Can anyone else reproduce the error?
I don't believe that we've very significantly overshot our global ecosystem carrying capacity. Especially post-fossil. It's a fact outlined in many numbers in thousands of peer reviewed publications.
As to what we could collectively do: sadly, very little. The overall system has almost no degrees of freedom left. You're mostly down to personal and community scale choices. Small things.
Not going to continue to discuss that here though.
We are not making anyone move. I and the rest of the mods but wabooti who is MIA for 8 months have already left. It's a courtesy notice to the community. Whether wabooti will continue is up to him. I will just stay here long enough for the discussion, if any.
You can of course make your own collapse community (with blackjack and hookers) but perhaps pick an instance where the admins are not overshoot deniers. It seems though you don't quite understand the significance of that "slap on the wrist".
Admin Removed Post Overshoot: Cognitive obsolescence and the population conundrum [PDF] reason: promotes eugenics
which also got me a 3-day site wide ban for "promoting eugenics" which is no longer showing up since expired.
In general admins can of course remove users and communities for reasonable reasons, but editor decisions on communitity content (even those I don't feel strong about) are strange.
My pleasure. Obviously a community discussing collapse can't stay in a place which denies overshoot of the ecosystem carrying capacity. The Reese paper doesn't say a thing about eugenics.
We are not going to abandon fossil fuels. However, fossil fuels are abandoning us. And those 8.1 billion and counting will be going away, too.
They do get released. I need a source of high quality rips for the NAS to stream from.
Still no blu ray last time I checked.
Too bad we're already over 1.5 C though it will take a decade for it to be official.
And these power lines into the EU are very easy to disrupt and disrupt again after repairs.

There is a reason 1984 was written by a Brit.
Not enough sanctions. More are needed.
Please don't use the term ecofascist indiscriminately. We don't do that around here.
How would you respond to the problem of overshoot?
The salmon I'm buying comes from a land based farm in Hirtshals, Denmark (see e.g. https://reasonstobecheerful.world/for-a-new-generation-of-fish-farmers-the-ocean-is-becoming-obsolete/ ). I'm trying to track down what kind of feed they use. In theory they could e.g. farm black soldier fly larva, but I doubt their pellets are 100% fish meal free. I guess I just should contact them to find it out.
Potentially double use for space launches.
"There can be little doubt that Russia intended to permanently damage Europe’s economy." -- got it almost right. It's the US that killed two birds with one stone: attack Russia and Europe's manufacturing and industry.
