For years, climate breakdown was treated as distant, a problem for activists, scientists, future generations or places somewhere else. That blinded view is now harder to sustain. Heat, fires, floods, crop failures, infrastructure disruption, rising insurance costs and the growing difficulty of simply keeping homes and communities safe are making climate disruption part of our … Continue reading The language around #climatechaos is changing
This summer, heat, fires, the soon to come winter floods and insurance withdrawals will make #climatechaos harder to treat as something happening somewhere else. For years, climate breakdown was framed as an activist issue, something discussed by environmental groups while mainstream politics carried on with business as usual. That is changing, people are experiencing the … Continue reading This summer #climatechaos
The current wave of wildfires across Europe is not simply a natural disaster, it is also exposing a deeper mess, the failure of our information systems. Instead of explaining why Europe is burning, significant sections of the corporate media are either ignoring #climatechaos or distracting by blaming rewilding, net-zero policies and environmental protections. Rather than … Continue reading Media, the deathcult and climatechaos
A red warning for extreme heat has been issued across parts of the UK this week, including London. For people this heatwave across Europe feels frightening, not because of the temperatures themselves, but of what they imply. Nights stay hot, bodies don’t recover, systems don’t cool down. The baseline is shifting. The question that keeps … Continue reading Climate Chaos, the reality, heat, collapse, and denial
In this accelerating collapse – where #climatechaos spirals and #neoliberalism guts the very idea of society – we urgently need to confront a painful truth: it’s simple, the #nastyfew are a parasite class. And that this class feeds on the very foundations of well-being, survival, and joy that the majority of the global population desperately … Continue reading The #nastyfew in the era of #climatechaos and social breakdown
The political and social far right is pushing two positions at the same time, that taken together, lead to a deeply disturbing conclusion – Immigration must be stopped by any means necessary and nothing serious should be done about the #climatecrisis If no action is taken on climate, large parts of Africa (and elsewhere) will … Continue reading Climatechaos and the hard right is a cycle of collapse
let’s look at the right/left mess. The heart of our collective confusion and frustration about climate action, is yes, it’s true – Solar and wind energy are cheaper than ever, EVs are booming in sales and generating profits, energy, efficiency is improving, public awareness is spreading. So why are emissions still rising? The #KISS truth, … Continue reading Confusion and frustration about climate action
FUCK, what a mess https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/aug/28/collapse-critical-atlantic-current-amoc-no-longer-low-likelihood-study Hope you can understand you to have to start calling this current path we are all on a # #deathcult, its #KISS The current extreme inequality between rich and poor isn’t a bug in the system – it’s a feature of capitalism. It’s not just inevitable, it’s desirable for those … Continue reading The mess we make – capitalism and climatechaos
The climate crisis is no longer tomorrow’s problem, it’s reshaping our world now. As we pass the 1.5°C threshold, the impacts are rippling through every layer of society. One group who will increasingly highlight this is the insurance industry. We already see the growing unease inside the insurance world as companies begin quietly pulling out … Continue reading Adapting to #climatechaos in a post-1.5°C world
It’s pastime more people raised their heads, the Council on Foreign Relations (#CFR), the think tank of the U.S. political establishment, just published a new statement calling for what they call “Climate Realism.” 1.5°C Is Dead – And they admit it, to their credit, CFR doesn’t sugarcoat the situation. They finally acknowledge that the international … Continue reading “Climate Realism”
In the era of #climatechaos, people #blocking social change are not just slowing things down – they are helping maintain systems that are driving social and ecological breakdown. The question is – what do we build instead? Different paths already exist. #4opens #openweb #OGB #indymediaback #OMN are examples of social tech trying to move away … Continue reading Fear, hope, and #climatechaos
The idea of nationalizing the fossil fuel industry as a climate solution has had some attention in recent years, though it hasn’t yet broken into #mainstreaming policy discussions. Proponents argue that taking control of the industry allows for a managed, planned decline of fossil fuel production, aligned with climate goals and fair treatment for workers. … Continue reading A “liberal” path to mediate the growing #climatechaos mess
