Total Planetary Collapse: The truth is that we are literally running out of everything

Total Planetary Collapse: The truth is that we are literally running out of everything thumbnail

The clock is ticking for humanity, and it is not just because our financial system is heading for the biggest implosion that any of us have ever seen.  The truth is that we are literally running out of everything.  We will not have enough oil to meet our energy needs long before we get to the end of this century.  The lack of fresh water is already a major crisis in many parts of the world.  Our air and our soil are more polluted than they have ever been before.  And at this point we can barely feed the entire planet, but global demand for food is expected to escalate dramatically in the years ahead.  If we continue doing things the way that we have been doing them, a future filled with famine, civil unrest, environmental chaos and war appears to be inevitable.  We are literally on the verge of total planetary collapse, but because this is happening in slow-motion most people don’t feel an urgency to do anything about it.

And to a certain extent, the damage has already been done.  This week, the WWF released a report which found that the vertebrate population of the world has fallen by an average of 60 percent since 1970.  the following comes from NBC News

The population of the planet’s vertebrates has dropped an average of 60 percent since 1970, according to a report by the WWF conservation organization.

The most striking decline in vertebrate population was in the tropics in South and Central America, with an 89 percent loss compared to 1970. Freshwater species have also significantly fallen — down 83 percent in that period.

You may be thinking that you are not a big fan of the WWF, and I certainly am not either.

But even if their numbers are off by half, we are still talking about a planetary disaster of unprecedented magnitude.

Vertebrates include all mammals, fish, birds, amphibians and reptiles.  Species after species is being wiped out, and enormous holes are forming in the global food chain.

I don’t know if I even have the words to describe what we are facing.  The chief executive of the WWF says that what we are experiencing is “death by a thousand cuts”

The animals that remain will fight against warming oceans choked with plastic, toppled rain forests may zero out fragile species, and refuges such as coral reefs may nearly die off.

That will transform life as humanity knows it, said Carter Roberts, the chief executive of the WWF in the United States, if societies do not reverse course to protect the food, water and shelter needed for survival.

“The numbers are astonishingly bad,” Roberts told The Washington Post. “It’s death by a thousand cuts.”

There are a couple of other numbers from the report that I wanted to highlight.

First of all, the report states that nearly 6 billion tons of fish and invertebrates have been taken out of our oceans since 1950.  Today, over 4 billion people get at least some of their protein from eating fish, and if we do not start doing a better job of taking care of our oceans we are going to be facing a horrific planetary famine very soon.

Secondly, the report also claims that 90 percent of all seabirds in the world now have plastic in their stomachs.

Back in 1960, that number was sitting at just 5 percent.

We are literally filling up our oceans with our plastic waste, and in the process we are destroying our future.  For much, much more on this, please see my recent article entitled “There Are Trillions Of Pieces Of Floating Plastic In Our Oceans, And If We Don’t Stop All Marine Life Will Eventually Be Dead”.

The time to act is now, but it is extremely difficult to get the entire world to act in unison on anything, and most of the “environmental solutions” that are being proposed today are complete rubbish.

But “doing nothing” is certainly not an option either.  Without our natural environment, modern societies would cease to exist, and this is a point that the report made very clearly

The report urged quick action to avoid irreversible change to the planet, including a shift to green energy and environmentally friendly food production.

“What is clear is that without a dramatic move beyond ‘business as usual’ the current severe decline of the natural systems that support modern societies will continue,” the report said.

And Tanya Steele was even more direct when she spoke with CNN

Tanya Steele, the WWF’s chief executive in Britain, put it more bluntly to CNN: “We are the first generation to know we are destroying our planet and the last one that can do anything about it.”

Years ago, I remember watching a DVD entitled “Collapse” by Michael Ruppert.  I know that many of you probably watched it as well, because at the time it was very popular.  In that video, Ruppert made some excellent points about our limited natural resources.  But things have gotten so much worse than when he originally put that DVD out, and if he was alive today he would be absolutely horrified at how rapidly things have fallen apart.

Infinite growth is not possible on a planet with limited natural resources, and at this point we are literally running out of everything.

Will we be the generation that will be remembered for turning things around, or will we be the generation that will be remembered for destroying the Earth?

I would certainly like for it to be the former, but I have a feeling that it will turn out to be the latter.

    “@Antius – your link is from 2008 or ten years ago, an eternity in technology. Siemens reports eroi 50 or highet for its 3MW turbines. The bigger the turbines, the highet the eroi.”

    Indeed, yes. I looked into steel and concrete inputs of wind power a while back as part of my own EROI calculations. So far as EROI of offshore wind goes, something like half of all of the steel and all of the concrete involved in constructing the Walney offshore wind farm were deployed in the plinth and foundations. This is for a shallow water, near offshore wind farm. The deeper the water, the greater the investment needed in plinth and foundations.

    However, as turbine size increases, the material investment in plinth and foundations does not scale in proportion, since water depth is a constant at that location and foundation depth does scale linearly with increasing area load. So bigger will continue to be better, even if we start to run into diseconomies of scale in other areas. When the effects of greater windspeed and capacity factor at height are accounted for, there do not appear to be any imminent diseconomies of scale associated with increasing turbine size. To scale wind to the point where it meets the majority of Europe’s energy needs, we must build deep offshore, implying turbines with individual capacity exceeding 10MW, maybe substantially.

    The cost of transmission increases more rapidly with distance than it does with capacity. So it makes sense to build offshore wind farms with large total capacity – up to several GW.

    “Energy generation is not the problem, not anymore. Storage is the last challenge.”

    Storage and integration are a huge challenge and not well understood in my opinion. Many of the technologies traditionally advocated as solutions in this area appear unsuitable for more than niche applications. Their practicality appears to be highly ‘context’ specific.

    Hydrogen appears to be impractical as a large scale energy storage system powering road vehicles, due to poor energy efficiency and the logistical and safety difficulties of storage and distribution. It is unsuitable as a bulk grid energy storage system for the same reasons. Yet it is very valuable as an intermediate chemical feedstock, i.e. metal and plastics manufacture or biomass upgrading, where we are using it to make something that is valuable enough to absorb its production costs and avoiding other energy losses by using it immediately as it is being produced. Although not generally practical as a transport fuel, hydrogen may have niche applications in buses, because it can be stored in bags without compression, which greatly simplifies its application and improves energy efficiency and there are regular and predictable stops along a pre-determined route, where refuelling can take place. Buses are also energy efficient per passenger km and large IC engines are more efficient than smaller ones. Practicality is very context specific. There are no general solutions. Everything must be carefully considered on a case by case basis.

    Thermal energy storage systems generally have low embodied energy, but their whole system efficiency depends critically on how they are used. They work better as part of end use energy storage systems, where we need heat anyway and use a slightly larger bulk store to tolerate more intermittent supply. I have suggested the use of thermal energy storage for electricity-electricity storage before. But I think this is very context specific as well. It works better in a combined heat and power mode or in a mode in which whole cycle efficiency is boosted by using biomass or some other fuel to boost efficiency. That way, the lower net exergy efficiency of thermal storage compared to pumped storage, say, is compensated by the low embodied energy and low capital cost of storing energy as sensible heat.

    In practically every instance in which I have examined large scale electricity-electricity energy storage systems, they trash the overall EROI and economic performance of the system. This is why I keep emphasising the need to adapt demand to match supply. The more we are able to do that, the more practical an energy transition to renewable energy will be. Generally, the less flexible an energy demand is, the more efficient it needs to be. Demands like transport, need to switch to modes that are both energy efficient and able to adapt to more intermittent supply. That means more trains, trams and buses and fewer cars, regardless of how those cars are powered. It means looking at things like large ships and hydraulic pipeline for long-distance transport of goods and reducing dependence on road and air travel. Adapting to intermittent energy means more flexible industry, able to switch between high and low energy tasks, with a more flexible labour force. It means adjusting work schedules for when energy is available, working longer shifts when it is and shorter shifts when it is not. That also implies living closer to where we work, so that we can respond quickly when power becomes available.

    “Thanks for the Canadian iron=fuel link. There seems to be a breakthrough every week.”

    You’re welcome. I think this could ultimately find niche applications, such as for powering large ships. Poor whole system efficiency and the logistical problem of dealing with a powder, will limit its applicability.

    The US just added over 400,000 bopd production in last month reported (AUG18). We are now producing over 11.3 million bopd and are the number one producer of C&C. (Even more dominant in “total liquids”, which includes propane and the like.)

    Along with recent records for the country, we have record production in Texas, the GOM, CO, ND, and NM. OH and WV hit records in 2015, but are inching up to break them again. OK is at a recent (post 1980) peak. Texas is now producing more than Iraq and is the number 4 “country” after Russia, Saudi Arabia, and the US itself.

    So where are Stuart Staniford and James Hamilton? Did they predict this? Why no interest in covering this? Hmm…

    “One also needs to look at the energy return of a system when adding wind. Surely there is an optimum combination per different energy systems in different regions of renewable additions where the addition of renewables actually makes the whole system EROI better. If you already have the spare fossil fuel capacity or storage then adding wind would yield a bigger return then adding wind to a system past its optimum. In this regards the world should be studied for the best applications for new renewables of all types to existing systems instead of forcing a high renewable components to a particular energy system based on a policy seeking a 100% renewable system. If 100% renewable system is not EROI realistic economically then we should shoot for the best of all energy combinations per all available systems. Let’s incorporate what we can as fast as we can and get the unrealistic policy out of the equation.”

    With combined cycle gas turbine power plants, embodied energy within the power plant itself would appear to be relatively small and build time is quite rapid. However, the EROI of the fuel supply is declining, as shale gas and LNG are substituted for the higher quality deposits. In places where natural gas must be imported and is expensive or subject to political uncertainty (i.e. Europe) wind power directly reduces demand for an expensive fuel and adds (some) security to energy supply. For any fossil fuel power plant for which capital costs are long amortised, but fuel costs are expensive and/or reserves are finite; there would appear to be benefit to using it as a back-up plant for wind or solar, provided the power cost from the latter is less than the former.

    In the US it is more complicated, because shale gas is being dumped onto the market at less than production cost, because it is a by-product of shale oil production, which is far more valuable and can be stored, transported and exported. Rockman knows more about this than I. What it means is that gas is relatively cheap, even if EROI is low. How long this can continue is uncertain, but it is very difficult for any other electricity source to compete with a CCGT burning cheap natural gas.

    In principle, a large part of energy use in most Northern countries (about one third) is taken up by heating. This occurs in autumn, winter and spring, when wind power output is greatest. If we convert this function to electric storage heaters under the control of grid managers and use legacy gas turbine plants for grid back-up, then wind energy could meet half or more of total energy use without requiring deep changes to our way of life or large increases in baseline costs. Compressed natural gas could also be used to power relatively conventional vehicles, by using excess wind electricity to compress natural gas. The idea of a 100% renewable energy economy is in many ways a singularity. The first 50% looks relatively easy. Going beyond that gets more and more difficult, requiring deeper changes to our way of life the further one wishes to go.

    Mob, idealists will always trust sources that affirm their preordained conclusions and they will mistrust news sources that do not. In much the same way that religious nut jobs will always trust their church, synagogue or mosque and distrust all the others. It is a matter of faith and emotional security.

    Asking any British or American which mainstream newspaper he trusts the most is rather like asking which mafia gangster he trusts the most. It’s a bit of a strange question to ask.

    “My doom has evolved and adapted and thank god for this. I have always said I am an unwilling doomer. I have now evolved to a doomer lite but doom nonetheless. We are in a time of great changes and many are very destructive and decisive. Extinction and climate disruption do not correct in human time frames. Population does not quietly and nicely rebalance. Resources do not form for extraction in human timeframes once they have been exploited. Substitution, innovation, and efficiency hit diminishing returns. Systematic dysfunction and decay at the macro level is self-organizing and adaptive and are beyond management. This is a finite planet but man’s imagination is open ended. This is where delusions and irrationality creep in.”

    “I could care less about smart people preaching techno optimism. Society is techno optimistic. You expect this to come out from academia and the science world. It is what sells and what people like you crave. What I want to hear is the truth. There is plenty of techno optimism being preached but little of it is tempered with reality of a broad based collapse process. This process is multidimensional. It is human and natural and encompasses all aspects of human civilization. It is clearly evident and undeniable.”

    “This phenomenon of decline is at the moment married to a human process of growth that also has momentum. Man has constructed an ecosystem that has significant potency. Humans and their systems have power and adaptability. Knowledge and technology is a potent force but it is a two edge sword that is also killing us. This is now in a scale and time frame that is being expressed over decades not months.”

    ‘This then becomes a multifaceted story the kind extremist hate because it is not clean cut and straight forward. It is fuzzy and hazy. Extremist need actions and tempo to support a strong and dramatic message. I have always welcomed life over death. I am preaching doom as insurance and I believe my form of doom and prep is a wonderful life for some. It is also a great long term strategy for humans to negotiate late term civilization and planetary collapse. It embraces nature and our traditional skills pre-modern but it also embraces the best of the modern. You, are preaching more of the same with a techno green tint. Affluence is vital to your message. Affluence cannot continue to grow and without continued growth our growth based civilization cannot last.”

    You “forgot” to add that the survey was held among 18-29 year old snow flakes, creatures used to being fed and pampered by parents and/or government.

    When these lambs discover, once they are the proud owners of a mortgage, that there is no end to the number of people with designs on their wallet, they naturally morph from leftists with smelling armpits to fine conservatives with a job and wearing a tie.

    I’m not exactly a fan of Churchill, but nevertheless agree with his quip: If you’re not a communist at the age of 20, you haven’t got a heart. If you’re still a communist at the age of 30, you haven’t got a brain.

    People between 18-29: no-brainers.

    I’m btw against the right to vote for people who pay no taxes or do not raise children. Exactly, people between 18-29. At that age you need to concentrate on f* and for the rest shut up.

    Maybe we are just looking at, and being part of a greater leap and change in life on this planet.
    We -living now – would ofcourse say that all the earlier collapses were worth it because of our own present high civilisation and our “great” insight in most every thingh ( except our selves).

    Future life might actually be thankfull for our eventual collapse, because it made the way for their own “extremly” high civilisation, which, no doubt, would be so much better than ours.

    I’m serious about high intelligens being our downfall.
    There seems to be no limit to new inventions (chemical, genetical, technical, societal or medial), while at the same time there are only limited resources and time to research into the EFFECTS of those inventions. Eventually one or more of these inventions will turn out mortal to humans/societies.

    One of my favorit mortal invention is fusion energi. If humans can lay their hands of virtually free energy, there will be no way stopping them from what ever mad ideas they might have in their tiny egotistic brains. The use of FF has this wonderful tendency to be very destructive in it self, and there by limiting itself. Fusion energi don’t have build in alarm clocks and humanity could build them selves into a dystopia that I cannot even give a name.
    If fusion energy gets widely available, there will be no limits to growth in all its awful aspects, with disastreous effects on all our fellow beings in the biosphere.
    If that should happen, i would not shy away from calling humanity a pest onthe world – if it not already is.

    Good point. Look at native American Indians who lived in harmony with the environment for 3,000 years before the settlers took their land, then took it to a technological, energy usage, mass population that is ruining the planet.

    Us preppers will invite the engineers to come live with us in our monasteries of wisdom and knowledge, and together we will sing kumbaya and live happily ever after. The rest of you dumbasses are SOL.

    Lol

    You are clearly not playing with a full deck GregT. Your above comments are all purely delusional.

    You are in desperate need of psychological help buddy.

    I made the prediction about three years ago that you would continue to become more detached from reality. Spot on.

    My prediction now is that you will eventually go AWOL and seriously hurt somebody else.

    You are an absolute fucking nutcase GregT. You should be locked away in an asylum, under constant supervision.
