Tyndall Center Director Anderson: Rapid Emissions Reduction Hard: 4-6C Far, Far Worse

12. I feel one of the "fake" solutions is a real solution

Sure we are fucked by 2050 in terms of the environment, food production and the global economy. But if we did undergo an organized decline NOW, then at least local communities would have the funds and direction to begin to develop regional resilience. If governments directed (and funded) municipalities to strengthen local dependence and prepare for independent sustenance in a 10C warmer world, the world will be a whole lot more pleasant when the shit really hits the fan. Otherwise, we face famine and chaos going forward.

Right now we are told to keep our noses to the grindstone and keep working for a future that isn't going to happen (creating existential issues among those that see it). Every person is wasting energy and time they cannot get back, which is not building a future for the planet and humanity. The main reason is that people will not give up on the notion of modern civilization until it is plucked from them.

The people in charge must know the truth. Where is the leadership and vision? Why can't we talk about resilience and quality of life instead of ipads?

Even if an organized decline does not immediately avert disaster, it could potentially make humans more resilient in the face of disaster. It can help them produce food when it will no longer be shipped from the breadbasket.

We are facing both a breakdown in the environment and in modern civilization. Why are we whistling past the graveyard? Why are we doing nothing, promising everything, and wasting time? Why not transition immediately to a sustainable way of life that one day, if not by 2050, will actually be in balance with nature?

We need to begin to live each day like the next will be without power and food rolling in.
