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.

    I agree100%

    Davy, We shouldn’t help nature, we should just stop destroying it.
    I understand we are somehow under natures bidding, but come on ,we are allready way beyond that.
    But anyway how do you imagine the human survivors after tshtf. Would they geneticaly be almost the same as before, or do you think a new genetic type would devellop

  3. Davy on Thu, 1st Nov 2018 7:18 pm 

    More like an awakened human type and or human animals. I guess we are pretty much animals now. It could go either way or both. Might take some time to get the new genetic type going

    “Are You Prepared for Lockdown? How to Stay Safe When All Hell Breaks Loose in America”

    “The number one thing you can do for this situation to keep your family safe is to be prepared for lockdown.

    Pretending that it isn’t happening or hoping to hug it out is not a rational response to the chaos that is coming.”

    http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/are-you-prepared-for-lockdown-how-to-stay-safe-when-all-hell-breaks-loose-in-america_11012018

    ” trouble comes to your neighborhood and you decide to stick around, stay home.

    It’s the number one way to keep yourself safer from during a civil unrest situation. If you find yourself in an area under siege, the odds will be further on your side for every interaction in which you avoid taking part. Every single time you leave the house, you increase your chances of an unpleasant encounter. Nothing will be accomplished by going out during a chaotic situation.”

    A lot of good advice for Americans.

    Amusing.  Another doomsday article by a Leftie.  Of course, nothing said by the writer about the ONLY possibility of correcting the course of homo sapiens:  recourse to a new version of the Austrian, this time with unprecedented power to do WHAT IS NECESSARY.

    Nope.  The doomers will continue to wring their hands and call for yet another instantiation of the moth-eaten Marxist formula, such as currently seen succeeding in Venezuela.  Or perhaps the installation of a Whiteguilt-expiating Negroid cannibal such as Idi Amin.  How delightful that we can have another horror-movie scenario printed before our eyes to entertain us, but nothing to really move anyone to action.  Even the mere mention of milk-toasty Trump is enough to send shudders down the vertebrae-less spines of the Socialist Sinistrals.  So, just more reason to go back to sleep.

    And never wake up again.

    The idea was to colonize Iraq on a the basis of a 9/11 false flag. You didn’t.

    In the end not even the road between the Green Zone and the airport was safe any more. You were more or less thrown out of Iraq. Not as bad as with Vietnam, but it came close.

    Syria was a major embarrassment and you are losing the war against Afghanistan.

    And now you are looking for a war with Iran, which will mean a proxy war against Russia and China? Have you gone mad?

    You did not lose a single battle, but nevertheless lost the war. Neocon Edward “give war a chance” Luttwak described it correctly: the US never occupied entire Iraq. They won a battle here, moved to the next and behind their backs, Iraqis took back what the US had “won” before. Afghanistan same story.

    The biggest mistake neder was disbanding the Iraqi army. The place was finally pacified more or less but then the sectarian issues fired back up.

    You forgot to acknowledge what I said about Europe and it not being able to field an army or air wing outside it’s borders without the US help. But you sure are keen to talk the US down. Lol

    JuanP, this is an open, unmoderated, Internet discussion forum. You have absolutely zero say, or control, over what anybody else thinks, feels, believes, or posts. Purely delusional on your part. You can continue to name call, harass, bully, and personally attack others here until you turn blue in the face, it will never make any difference. All that you have accomplished is to get other people to retaliate against you. If you choose to continue, so be it. As long as you do so, the retaliations will continue.

  27. JuanP on Fri, 2nd Nov 2018 6:20 pm 

    Another lie from the board’s biggest liar. I am not pissed at all. I am doing this in a cold hearted, calculating way. You are the one that is insane, Mak, I am living through some of the best years of my life and these past few weeks have been particularly amazing. I am currently helping to start two new farms and a nursery from scratch. These are extremely rewarding and satisfying projects. My life is great right now and getting better. Things are so good for me that I can hardly believe it. My life could hardly get any better. The reason I use the word fuck so much is because I can tell that it bothers you, and as I told you when you started this fight, my main goal here at this time is to fuck with you. By the way, I think I am doing a great job because I can tell that I am really, really annoying you, and that is the idea. I am having fun with this and I find it very satisfying. You can end this anytime you want, Mak; all you have to do is stop insulting, abusing, and bullying others. But, if you don’t I am going to haunt you for as long as it takes.

    “Iran Dominates in Iraq After U.S. ‘Handed the Country Over’”

    For the jew tip of 3-6 trillion, you handed over control from Sunni dictator Saddam to the Shia majority, which obviously teamed up with the Shia in Iran.ROFL

    Why do you think that the US instigated uprising in Syria was defeated? Because of the Russian airforce AND Iranian military, that could operate in Syria THROUGH IRAQ.

    That kosher fool Wolfowitz with holes in his socks had bragged in advance that the invasion based on lies would be paid for by looted Iraqi oil. Nothing of the sort happened. It was one giant financial disaster for the US, exactly as KSA had feared in advance it would happen. It may be true that western oil companies operate in Iraq, but so do Russian oil companies:

    https://www.pri.org/stories/2018-01-16/whatever-happened-giant-us-embassy-baghdad

    It is now a Green Zone within a Green Zone and the ONLY foothold the US has in Iraq.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/15/world/middleeast/iran-iraq-iranian-power.html

    BAGHDAD — Walk into almost any market in Iraq and the shelves are filled with goods from Iran — milk, yogurt, chicken. Turn on the television and channel after channel broadcasts programs sympathetic to Iran… Across the country, Iranian-sponsored militias are hard at work establishing a corridor to move men and guns to proxy forces in Syria and Lebanon. And in the halls of power in Baghdad, even the most senior Iraqi cabinet officials have been blessed, or bounced out, by Iran’s leadership… From Day 1, Iran saw something else: a chance to make a client state of Iraq… In that contest, Iran won, and the United States lost.LOL … But Iran never lost sight of its mission: to dominate its neighbor so thoroughly that Iraq could never again endanger it militarily, and to use the country to effectively control a corridor from Tehran to the Mediterranean…. “Iranian influence is dominant,” said Hoshyar Zebari, who was ousted last year as finance minister because, he said, Iran distrusted his links to the United States. “It is paramount.”…But Iraq is only part of Iran’s expansion project; it has also used soft and hard power to extend its influence in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan, and throughout the region…. Iran’s influence in Iraq is not just ascendant, but diverse, projecting into military, political, economic and cultural affairs.

    At some border posts in the south, Iraqi sovereignty is an afterthought. Busloads of young militia recruits cross into Iran without so much as a document check… Perhaps most crucial, Parliament passed a law last year that effectively made the constellation of Shiite militias a permanent fixture of Iraq’s security forces.

    I have never seen such a bunch of complete morons like ZOG-bots mobster and tard. All the US did was giving away most of the ME, from Baghdad all the way to the Meditarrenean, to the sphere of influence of Iran. And it won’t be long until Turkey and Iran will take over KSA as well, completely eliminating western influence from the ME.
