Think TR will appreciate it and like to say his knocks on humans are likeable to me,
Much more than Fast Eddy’s
Lots of good stuff in there, thank you, Vince.
“Thinking of modern civilization as a complex, emergent, ephemeral event — embedded into a reality largely out of our control — raises the question: who is actually in the helm, then? …Most of us would find the truth more worrisome and discomforting: namely that no one is in control.”
I actually prefer the notion that we are pawns of the universe (or possibly the butt of some cosmic joke) to the idea that human elites are running the show. I have zero faith in the latter.
Even in my own life, I am striving to let go of that sense of agency. As the Krishna Dharma page on X keeps reminding me, “Peace comes when you realise you are not the controller.”
“likeable to me,” Some of us are easily entertained! 😉
You should hear what the 7 voices in my head come up with sometimes.
It’s just a mass psychotic break.
I really come here for the pictures…
Sea level rise wipes out an entire U.S. species
Alison Snyder Andrew Freedman
Sea level rise driven by human-caused climate change may have wiped out an entire species in the U.S. for the first time.
Why it matters: The loss of the only known stand of Key Largo tree cactus in the U.S. shows how rising seas can alter the coastal environment.
It may be the first sea level rise-related loss of a species in the U.S., although globally, other species have been lost to this and other climate-related factors.
It could also be an indicator of extinctions to come for other plants and animals in similarly vulnerable environments.
Drum roll please…TR you are on the floor
“Renewables such as wind, solar and other green technologies like electric cars are expanding rapidly and falling in price.”
I still have an issue with “renewable”. Maybe my definition is to strict but there is no such thing as renewable energy. There are “cleaner” energy sources that may go into some storage medium but I do not call that renewable. It not clear to me that these cleaner energy sources such as wind, solar and EVs can even begin to fill the current energy demand of our modern infrastructure. Perhaps I’m wrong.
Global emissions are still rising and it looks to me that the probability of reigning that in is minuscule at this point. There would have to be some super major energy breakthrough and even with that it seems too little too late.
Oh no, the fossil fueled data centers invisible powering the AI revolution will be sure to do the trick!
You are right to object to the “renewable” euphemism, as a few social critics have already pointed out.
There never was anything but delusional hope that all of this fossil fuel civilization could self-reinvent itself while also self-canceling itself overnight.
We can “feel” whatever our brains will come up to cope with the trap being shut, but I’m not one for fiction or bromide or bullshit.
“Perhaps I’m wrong.”
Edward, I don’t believe you are.
It’s not the energy, but the fuel that’s renewable … or not …. That’s what peak oil is about. I would argue the opposite of your statement: All energy is renewable, you just need more fuel, so they’ve conflated sustainable and renewable… no accident, that. Art Berman puts it best:
‘Under the current strategy of international conferences and public spending on wealth transfer schemes disguised as green deals, there is no realistic scenario for successful decarbonization.”
https://www.artberman.com/blog/lets-stop-arguing-about-an-imaginary-energy-transition/
We have put amoral entities in charge of every aspect of our lives and think they will solve a problem, somehow, that impacts the only metric they are measured by: profits.
The results are exactly what you would expect, as per Mr. Berman’s assessment.
Here on spaceship earth we have put AI in charge, in the form of Corporate rule. I think of AI as HAL, and mankind as Dave. Like alcoholics We have surrendered our freedom to a higher power assuming it will have our best interests at heart … it doesn’t … per our own design.
Gail Tverberg of Our Finite World Blog.had a few comments that I found of interest
I am afraid that instead of this solution, the self-organizing system gives us a solution. This solution is coming very soon, and it may not be the one we want. It involves conflict, with winners and losers. This may be civil war, or international war, or both. It may involve financial collapse of major economies. It may involve conflict among political parties and assassinations.
And another of hers
IWe have gotten carried away with our faith in this system. It has given us far too much. The resources that make up today’s real economy are rapidly depleting. What has happened in the past is no longer possible. This is the problem.
Building small homes using local materials can be sustainable. Walking is likely to be sustainable. Building roads is iffy. Building vehicles of any kind is iffy. We have targeted far too high goals.
A dose of reality, not one of Starships
“It involves conflict, with winners and losers. This may be civil war, or international war, or both. It may involve financial collapse of major economies.”
Huge systemic shocks like the collapse of major economies necessarily result in collapse of the whole. The extent of our interdependence is often overlooked in the heat of geopolitical partisanship. Even as the global economy attempts to re-organise due to worsening friction between nations and groups of nations, globalisation in toto remains remarkably resilient, although it may have peaked in 2022:
“Amid widespread speculation about the decline of globalisation, the 2024 DHL Global Connectedness Report has concluded that ‘global connectedness’ reached an all-time high in 2022 and maintained near-record levels in 2023.”

“Perhaps I’m wrong.” You may be removed from the list of Clever Ape species by admitting to anything. The 8 billion of us know they are never wrong & it’s not their fault.
“Global emissions are still rising and it looks to me that the probability of reigning that in is minuscule at this point.” I like this phrase that rhymes; Too Late. I’m thinking this species will come to the realization of NTHE after they are all non-existent. Slow learners!
Love the Woody Allen sperm photo. That made me chuckle. 🤭. Laugh or cry. That is where we are.
Thank you, Jpf. This era pretty much satirizes itself; minimal assistance required. For the uninitiated, the still is from Woody’s 1972 movie, “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask).”
Someone on reddit posted a rumor that lithium batteries are spreading PFAS, aka “forever chemicals”. NO! Another environmental catastrophe unleashed onto an unwitting populace by the unchecked greed and malfeasance of our corporate overlords?
For some reason I keep coming back to the story of the “radium girls”. Back in the heady days of the post-war years it was discovered that certain substances would glow in the dark, and corporate america had the brilliant idea of hiring young girls to paint the substance onto the faces of wrist watches. The girls were pressured to work quickly, and they were, um, “encouraged” to wet their brushes with their lips and tongue.
The substance was, of course, radioactive, but the girls and their families were told it was harmless. It wasn’t long before the girls had serious radiation sickness. Their bones became extremely brittle. One especially horrific story, a girl being examined by a doctor has her jaw fall off in his hands.
And these are the people we are supposed to trust with “positive tipping points”? Yes, there are going to be self-reinforcing feedbacks. Just not what they expect. It will be an exponential race to the bottom, each band of greedy, murderous thugs competing to outdo the last as humanity fights to the death over what’s left of our once big, shiny civilization.
Then there’s the really big story. The Pantanal in S. America is burning. All of it. Just as the wildfire season in N. Hemisphere get’s kicked into high-gear by relentless heat-blobs. Quote: “If they can’t run or fly then they’re dead”. Amen. Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.
Why am I reminded of some wonky paleo-geological study I read years ago? Oh, yeah, now I remember. It was about “mass wasting events”. Apparently this isn’t the first time the Earth has gone through a regime change.
– First, the forests burn down. All of them.
– Next, torrential rains wash the topsoil away. All of it.
– This forms giant “alluvial fans” at the mouth of river deltas that can still be found in the geologic record.
– Very few places are spared. Isolated river valleys where some of the soil can settle before washing into the ocean.
– Crocodiles move to the Arctic. Everywhere else is pretty much uninhabitable.
Welcome to Earth 2.0.
Jerry, that is a horribly bleak story about those poor “radium girls”. I hadn’t heard it before.
Somewhat related, here in the UK, helicopter pilots are suing the Ministry of Defence for knowingly (or at least very negligently) exposing them to carcinogenic chemicals in exhaust fumes:
“There are currently around 100 people looking to bring legal action against the MOD who either say toxic fumes caused their cancer or that of loved ones… those aircrew serving in the British military ‘were not provided with masks or filters or purified air or any form of filtration system. They were not warned about the whole system…'”

Totally unrelated, I watched “Oppenheimer” last night. Really enjoyed it. He was played in such an understated way, and yet comes out of it looking even larger than all of the other larger-than-life characters around him. I get it that they probably glossed-over all the un-pretty stuff, but still a heady watch.
Spoiler alert:
As for “destroyer of worlds”, OK, a little weird they threw that into the middle of a gratuitous sex scene, but there’s a much more compelling thread that runs through the whole movie. A mysterious conversation next to a pond alone with Einstein, yes, that guy, which leaves Albert visibly disturbed as he walks away from his other guests.
It isn’t until the end of the movie that we get to hear the conversation. Albert is sagely advising “Oppie” that they will eventually stop punishing him, and then they will congratulate themselves with an award dinner of salmon and potato salad.
As Albert walks away Oppie reminds him of their worries before the Trinity test that they might accidentally ignite the atmosphere and destroy the world. Albert laughs, “I remember, what of it?”
Oppie, looking distant, “I think we just did.”
I should try to find time to watch that. Cillian Murphy is very watchable – I did enjoy “Peaky Blinders”.
