Deep adaptation: Getting Real about the Climate Apocalypse | Extinction Rebellion

[@Degjoy]

All of these speakers were fantastic. I am inspired to dedicate 2020 onwards to our Climate Emergency.

[@landryprichard6778]

The most important topic of any time ever. The overarching threat to all life.

[@mmatih22]

Mr Shadowban and your point is ?

[@mmatih22]

Mr Shadowban we can measure clearly that the temperatures are rising, that the glaciers are melting that desertification and crop failures are happening, that myriad species are going extinct- of course we are too limited to understand exactly all the effects and how fast the tipping point will be upon us. What we can understand with the simple and clear data aforementioned that by unraveling the web of life we are destroying our home planet and our life boat in the universe.

As a citizen of the United States, I am deeply envious of how far ahead the thinking, strategy and plans are in the UK compared to here. I finished watching this thinking about how to talk to Republicans and everyone to the "right" of me, which is most Americans. I also find that XR, great though it is, still commits the same lie of omission as the Big Green NGOs - not one word about the military, or how to draw out the crucial whistleblowers from inside the US/UK military-industrial complex, whose carbon bootprint is vast and deadly. I am getting involved in Extinction Rebellion in Portland, Oregon (XRPDX), and am both moved by and worried about how this part of the climate justice movement is evolving. But as poet Allen Ginsburg said, "I'm putting my queer shoulder to the wheel" with all of you. Much love and respect across the miles.

Unity is humanities future and unfortunately our current systems have ignore this and betrayed us over a long period of time and the coming catastrophe is now inevitable.

l wish Extinction Rebellion luck in spreading the truth and will say also that it is way beyond time that we make society understand that we are responsible for the over population and resource destruction, Bio diversity collapse and near term extinction of most species. My wife asked me why we don't just let people enjoy what we have left and not upset the status quo with the news about how bad things are about to get? My response is that l don't give a rats ass any more about people but for arguments sake l make up a story about a woman of good character driving a car to go get one of her kids from school and she is running behind a bit so she sends a text as she is driving through an intersection and continues to go on her way but doesn't see the mayhem behind her as the light changes and in a spot blind to her, 3 pedestrians are struck and killed. Now even though she is unaware of what transpired a traffic camera catches the incident an shows the tragic accident behind her. Now everyone agrees she must be tracked down and made aware of the tragic event that killed the pedestrians and be held responsible for the loss of life. Most people are unaware of their own crime of killing the planet off and now is as good as a time as ever to let humanity know what our crime has been and be held responsible.

[@kevinguyan522]

As an avid supporter/follower of online protests and a student of the trajectory in mass movements, I have surmised that #TellTheTruth is a core tenet of every revolution in history... In his quote, Slavoj Zizek says, “Every authentic revolution is not only directed towards the future, but it redeems, also the past failed revolutions; all the ghosts, as it were, the living dead of the past revolution, which are roaming around unsatisfied, will finally find their home, in the new freedom. - Several weeks ago Sir David Attenborough, when asked, “why should the UK be the 1st to act, when other countries may not..” , to which he said, “as it was the UK that began the Industrial Revolution, it should be the UK that leads in climate action” Given the context of building ongoing momentum of Extinction Rebellion throughout the world, the ‘TELL THE TRUTH’ Hashtag can represent a fuel for everyones most personal reasons to take to the streets and join the International Rebellion... In Canada, #IndigenousRights #Reconciliation #ResidentialSchools and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls ( #MMIWG ) #NoMoreStolenSisters. Imagine how a ‘Tell The Truth’ hashtag war could work as a common denominator for everyone wanting to hit the streets, for whatever reason, on Oct 7th. “A Revolution only picks up steam once two or more groups that have nothing to do with one another decide to join together for their mutual benefit” -Srdja Popovic

I know how to fix the engine in the air... We need to build the scaffolding under capitalism and dismantle it systematically (deflate the economy) We ARE the voters, users, and workers. We already have the power we just need to organize and solve these complex problems OURSELVES (not leaving it to Gov't or corporations) We need the tools to be able to adapt rapidly to all the changes that are implemented by us (internally) and others (externally) We need to make and compile usable and understandable information for everything (politics, economics, history, current events, science etc) We need to deal with WHY things are happening and act on that why. The disconnection and poverty on this planet are creating a greedy evil world we live in. There are enough of us who care There are enough of us who KNOW about each individual piece We ONLY need to put the pieces together and work together Technology can facilitate EVERY PIECE but ONLY if we own it together and run it together and it is 100% voluntary Give people hope and a way to easily contribute and we can create the rapid change in every sector We can create a new society from this one WITHOUT first crashing. come create the technology cooperative that we will create ALL the solutions WE want and need.

[@chrishart763]

I studied a MSc in Human Ecology in 2000. It was clear and we pretty much all wrote and agreed that 2020 was the final date before breakdown if nothing changed. I was at Schumacher College in 2004-5 and we researched this more, the feedback mechanisms made it look unavoidable. From 1997 to 2017 I was a little involved in sustainable economics magazine that constantly predicted the financial crash in 2008 and how it could be redeemed by grabbing the system in it's collapse and change it - it was not done. Jem Bendell has written a good paper but what makes me sad is that this was all written 20 years back - better late than never although in some ways it feels worse

We were large organic farmers in the 70--90. Conventional farmers made fun of us, but they couldn't under stand why we did look and act like them in regular ways, SO that fact helped them eventually come round to some organic practices. Looking like the audiences when you want to change their thinking, they listen better if you look like them, DRESS like them, speak like them. My family read Racheal Carson and J I Rodale and saw this coming in the late 50s. So far l have enjoyed Gretas messages the most. If we slow down our flying, driving, eating meat, less shopping businesses will be forced to change to better ways so they can survive...or not. But it may not happen so fast as to make us fight, but lead and persuade us to concentrate on our survival instead of our addictions..

[@anthonyfletcher4250]

I started to wake up in the late sixties and took on a conscious spiritual path. Over fifty years later I understand that this physical reality is just a simulation of a deeper reality and the game, that our higher self plays, is for our consciousness or the souls evolution. The mind gives us the illusion of separation but also gives us power to create or destroy and to develop our awareness and finally to awaken to the fact that we are all an integral part of the one consciousness. ❤

[@JubileeCreatesSomethingAmazing]

How we can tell the truth (assisted by technology): First we brainstorm what we want to have answers to (this stops much of the polarization) What do we want to know about the state of our planet, economics, politics, history, science etc? What of those questions DO we know, how do we know it? What tools could we use to make it accessible and usable to people? What are we (individuals) currently doing/buying that is contributing to the problems? How can we easily improve it for ourselves and everyone else? We can recreate the entire supply chain of goods and services we use ourselves. When we create for purpose instead of profit eg; we can create food and delivery systems so that we have to put in less time and money as individuals and get more out of it Everything we create needs to be transparent and voluntary when we give people REAL alternatives to what they are currently doing we allow them to SEE THE TRUTH and they will take action that is in their own (and everyone's) self interest. We can make cooperation a viable option and it will soon prove itself to be the ONLY option.

[@forestdwellerresearch6593]

Why do'nt you look at the people who live here over 5 million years? There are 3 societies on this planet, one is sustainable throughout history. You want an option? It is there in plain daylight.

[@JubileeCreatesSomethingAmazing]

@@forestdwellerresearch6593 which 3 societies are you referring to? I do not think anyone of the past had it all figured out (they were ALL basically ableist AF). We can not go backwards, only forward. We do it together with technology and sustainably or we collapse.

[@forestdwellerresearch6593]

Hunter-gatherer, agrarian and industrial. Nobody has suggested to go backwards in time. Without technology we collapse? Do you see collapse happening around you? Yes you do, technology or not. Equating technology to sustainability? You can do better than that i think....A lot of people are worried about the Amazon now. Is the Amazon made of technology? Nope. Is the history of our planet dependant on technology? Nope. So what do you base your vision of the future on? Technology or die.....bollocks! Brainstorm all you like, that is proven example. This planet survived millions of years without technology/industry. It is being destroyed in the slightest time by technology/industry. And you say we need that or we will collapse? You know better. Tell me please what technology we need for a future. Is it oil technology? Is it nuclear? There are 3 societies on Earth and only one is sustainable. It does not involve technology.

[@JubileeCreatesSomethingAmazing]

@@forestdwellerresearch6593 We will only get rid of technology IF we collapse. We have it and we do not go backwards (except for collapse). We can not go back to a hunter gatherer society with current populations. We can not all hunt and gather for our food. We CAN use technology to grow enough food without destroying our planet and we do not need massive die off of humans to happen. The amazon is amazing and CAN NOT be replaced by tech. But with the right technology we could mobilize to do something. Empower the masses with tools and knowledge. Take all of the money that we are spending (in ignorance) that is going to fuel war, destruction of the environment and create sustainable alternatives. Technology can give us a sustainable world if we create it together for purpose instead of having tech giants create it for profit at our and the planets expense. We can create solutions together on a massive scale (feed ourselves, connect ourselves, research and discover new innovative solutions and mitigate the risk we create along the way). Technology can unlock NEW solutions and new solutions is what we NEED. We can not solve the issues of today by going backwards (but we can always learn from the past). We can not leave it up to for profit corporations and the government we need to be able to understand and solve complex problems together, now. Tech can do that and I do not know of another way that it would be even remotely possible.

Read this article by David Wallace Wells. It outlines most of the deadly probabilities: nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/07/climate-change-earth-too-hot-for-humans.html Basically, there is an ongoing runaway greenhouse effect which includes self reinforcing feedback loops. This means more carbon, more heat, less arctic ice. Ice in the arctic reflects more heat which would otherwise be absorbed by the sea. Once melted, the arctic heats up even faster with the possibility of massive amounts of methane being released from the sea bed and melting permafrost in northern Siberia and Canada. It is unknown how much carbon is held in either, but some estimates go as high as twice the amount already in the atmosphere. Climate science has been in agreement about global warming greatly exacerbated by human activity since at least the 1980s. The Paris climate agreement and IPCC which organised it are far, far too conservative with their predictions. At 2°C of warming which we are aiming for with massive mitigation, or 4°C of warming which we are headed for, the temperate weather we have enjoyed along with the regular seasonal air and sea currents and lower temperatures becomes more extreme. There will be huge droughts and floods and heatwaves and agriculture will become impossible and the majority off all populations will starve to death as arable land becomes desert. Crop yields worldwide including Europe and North America are already shrinking. 4°C of warming generates continuous feedback loops which will eventually bring the world to 8 or 12 degrees of warming, which is too hot for most species to survive and will occur with insufficient time for them to adapt. In short, without massive Marshall plan, Manhattan project style action and the mass mobilisation and revolution, we will go extinct. The IPCC recommendations factor in massive deployment of largely non-existent carbon capture technology and would need the total decommissioning of non-renewable energy sources. The companies responsible are fighting decarbonisation every step of the way to keep their profit margins with the help of 'think tanks' lobbying groups) and media moguls with a stake in the business. It is a battle more severe than any in our history, with nothing short of the fate of mankind at its heart. Sorry nobody replied sooner. Hope this covers it! We need you on our side. Politics has failed, scientists have failed. The only option to be heard is rebellion. We all need to do whatever we can.

The film's source is P. D. James' novel The Children of Men (1992). What Extinction Rebellion is inviting us to do is precisely what the system wants in order to have the perfect excuse to smash us all into a brutal fascist global dictatorship, and nobody is as strong as to withstand the power of the system with the military, the courts, the politics, and most of all, 90% of the global population totally mentally controlled, you know that, we know that, I know that. So far, your plan is destined to miserably fail and bring us all into bondage and to bring such amount of chaos that the climate apocalypse is going to be just another nail in our coffin. Having said that, I consider myself even more radical than you, I advocate for the total obliteration, extinction and disapearance of the human race, all of us, you and I, in order to let this planet, our mother recover herself from the worse viral plague that have ever existed, US!

While these ppl have good intentions there is no solution on offer other than to simply stop consumption as individuals, down to the very basic local level needs. Self sufficiency, go without that which is not local, park the car, go without the comforts of AC, we can't roll out Solar to everyone without yet another industrial debt, don't bother to need more that a trickle of electricity and we already have enough in the system, one solar panel per house to run basic refrigeration for example. Hard facts I know...is what it is. Funny and/or tragic that Indigenous ppl still don't have these basics and won't likely miss them.

In 1982, NASA/Sandia Labs developed technology to harness heat energy directly from magma - and estimated the size of the US reserve to be at minimum, 1000 times global energy demand. Easily converted to heavy duty electricity and clean burning hydrogen fuel, this technology could meet global energy demand carbon free, plus provide power to desalinate sea water to irrigate land for agriculture, industry and housing, to recycle all waste and extract carbon from the air. In the 40 years since then, I have not once heard any so-called environmentalist; from Al Gore to Greta Thunberg via Just Stop Oil, mention magma energy. One can only suppose that they don't want answers. They want problems they can exploit for their own political ends. And given that they would put their own selfish interests before sustainability, one has to wonder how they are any better than fossil fuel addicted climate change deniers? Extinction Rebellion talk about Truth; but Roger Hallam's complexity theory metaphor indicates clearly what this about; it's about political polarisation - dividing people, and channelling them into one of two false narratives. In fact, the primary implication of complexity theory is that any significant change to a complex system is almost certain to produce something worse. And worse is what Hallam wants for his followers. His new form of being is a grim green communist dictatorship - animated by the notion that human needs and environmental sustainability are fundamentally incompatible. This is not true. A secondary implication of complexity theory, is that any necessary change made to a complex system must be the smallest and most effective change necessary to the desired end. And clearly, applying the technology to produce limitless clean energy from magma is a smaller and more effective change to a complex system upon which billions of people depend for their lives and livelihoods, than the wholesale collapse of that system Hallam and co seek to bring about. I seek to bring about Sustainable Prosperity fuelled by magma energy!

[@georgepotter1820]

Evolution or extinction? Are we able to learn to live in harmony with each other, nature and technology including AI? Sustainability not profitability. Mindfulness and self love, respect not exploitation. Our species faces a major die off, the population is passing the peak, passing a tipping point where our population goes from exponential growth to a transition to a new sustainable relationship with the ecosystem that has sustained us up until now. That downward curve can be as steep as a cliff which falls to zero, extinction, or it can begin steeply and recover as it returns to historic levels of sustainability, pre-technology levels such as pre-Columbian America. This could lead to a selection pressure that would produce a new species of hominid, speciation. The curve could be more gentle and could include technological solutions that would level off at a population that could both live more harmoniously with nature and each other and incorporate technology that would represent an evolution into a new species of technologically enhanced humanity, cyborgs. Taking life to other planets, terraforming and evolving new species of humans who could survive other planetary ecologies is another path that will require technologies including genetic engineering to reach for the stars. Managing these changes in a moral and humane way brings hope to a future that appears very scary from our selfish and ethnocentric perspectives. Keep up the good work or as John Perkins says "Dream True" instead of living like the hero of his book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman." Be blessed, you are a blessing. Aboriginal cultures have much to teach us.

Marc had a epiphany..... drinking a latte. yet withing XR's own ranks aviation is so touchie that flying drones anywhere near one or two airports is an "issue" of some kind. duh. so how about this one? a digital voice recorder instead of that latte. yes???? that requires batteries? that is so light weight without 2 AAA batts it seems "fake". yet it is excellent for learning the "local language" where I live, although officially.... and 99% socially is considered..... to not be the language everyone speaks but.... it is. and that only by putting those 2 AAA batteries in the recorder does it seem... in "human emotions" that only humans have... to be less "fake" because suddenly it is hefty. but electric jets are right around the corner. aviation accounts for almost 2 percent of our GHG emissions, which is huge given that none of us have ever even been inside an airplane even once in their life yet [yeah, okay I have and so have a few hundred million... Chinese people so far but there are 7,800 million of us]. yet even withing XR they cannot reach an easy consensus on doing a lot more than flying some drones. the first baby step on positive forcings is an abeyance on all commercial and private air travel immediately as opposed to telling folks to stop using flush toilets and to carry water in buckets again and get rid of their cows. because: batteries are heavy and to come up with a new invention even the "craziest" [maybe for real] industry insiders say will take 15 to 20 years..... followed by many years of air safety testing followed by a few decades to swap out what will then be 400,000 airplanes flying 24/7/365 and instead of merely the 200,000 flying 24/7/365 right now in 2019 followed by 15 to 20 years of the usual latency if we are lucky to still exist in any form than one celled life forms. and aviation is not essential at all. but already accounts for a whopping 2 percent [even 1 percent would be huge] of GHG. and it is and always was the first easy baby step. that's the really big epiphany. [or that we can't even see Co2 and believe "water" accounts for life as well as a bonobo like "God". but not Co2.] FIRST BABY STEP meaning it is WHY we did not do anything. duh. except sign some agreements and talk about "some ice may melt in 2100". maybe we should go back to only talking about some ice that may begin melting. and love. and build a better border wall along Mexico and start working on a US Space Force..... for radiation management because those golf resorts and fancy hotels are mostly only for air travelers. which is untouchable. but getting rid of our cows and flush toilets? oh that's easy!

Rupert is generally a very sensible chap (and an excellent spokesperson), except when you mention nuclear power and he goes on about this really rather silly idea that they all have to be turned off immediately because we might not be able to later. It doesn't make much sense when you look at the details (It takes a couple of days to safely power down an NPS, and a somewhere between 2 and 5 years to make fuel rods in ponds safe (and all you have to do for that time is top up the pond). I find it very hard to imagine a realistic situation where we can't even manage that. And he just blocks anyone on twitter who tries to have a rational discussion about it, which I found to be very disappointing behaviour for a nominally sensible person. Existing nuclear power is not a significant risk in comparison to climate change, and saying it is just makes our already massive problem worse (see Germany). The worst that could _possibly_ happen would be about half as bad as Chernobyl, so that's a few thousand deaths (over 60 years). That's peanuts in comparison to what the climate emergency is already doing and will do more of. Keep your risks in perspective, especially if you are a Green that has had 30 years of being told nuclear power is the most dangerous thing in the world. It's not. It's a useful (at least for the time being) extremely low-carbon and low-space-footprint technology. As Greta and XR keep saying: listen to the science.
