“The switch from growth to decline in oil production will thus almost certainly create economic and political tension.”
…[B]iomass plantations with subsequent carbon immobilization are likely unable to “repair” insufficient emission reduction policies without compromising food production and biosphere functioning due to its space‐consuming properties. Second, the requirements for a strong mitigation scenario staying below the 2°C target would require a combination of high irrigation water input and development of highly effective carbon process chains. Although we find that this strategy of sequestering carbon is not a viable alternative to aggressive emission reductions, it could still support mitigation efforts if sustainably managed.
This leaves us with a rather clear, but hardly comforting overall conclusion: Holding the 2°C line seems only feasible if two sets of climate action work hand in hand. On the one hand, greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced as early and as effectively as possible. In fact, an even more aggressive strategy than reflected by the [IPCC] RCP2.6 scenario should be pursued, aiming at the “induced implosion” of most fossil fuel‐driven business cases in the next couple of decades. On the other hand, tCDR [carbon dioxide removal] can significantly contribute as a “supporting actor” of the mitigation protagonist, if it gets started and deployed immediately. This means that the biological extraction of atmospheric CO2 as well as the suppression of CO2 release from biological systems must draw upon all possible measures — whether they are optimal or not, whether they are high‐ or low‐tech. We therefore suggest fully exploring the pertinent options available now, which include reforestation of degraded land and the protection of degraded forests to allow them to recover naturally and increase their carbon storage, e.g., within the Bonn Challenge initiative or the New York Declaration on Forests. Further options range from up‐scaled agroforestry approaches to the application of biochar and various no‐tillage practices for food production on appropriate soils. Also, it becomes overwhelmingly evident that humanity cannot anymore afford to waste up to 50% of its agricultural harvest along various consumption chains or to go on operating ineffective irrigation systems.
Whatever we do is likely to lead to death on a scale that makes all previous wars, famines and disasters small. To continue business as usual will probably kill most of us during the century. Is there any reason to believe that fully implementing Bali, with sustainable development and the full use of renewable energy, would kill less? We have to consider seriously that, as with nineteenth century medicine, the best option is often kind words and pain killers but otherwise do nothing and let Nature take its course.
***
Had we heeded Malthus’s warning and kept the human population to less than one billion, we would not now be facing a torrid future. Whether or not we go for Bali or use geoengineering, the planet is likely, massively and cruelly, to cull us, in the same merciless way that we have eliminated so many species by changing their environment into one where survival is difficult.

“We have to consider seriously that, as with nineteenth century medicine, the best option is often kind words and pain killers but otherwise do nothing and let Nature take its course.” James Lovelock
The article’s author quotes JL and is a Permaculturist. I can relate to that contradiction. I taught 24 people how to build a “Banana Circle” two days ago. Practicing Permacultur is probably worse for humanity in the long run than doing nothing. I am aware of this, but I choose to practice Permacultur any way. The war is long lost, anyway, so it makes no difference.
As someone who designed and planted a rainbow herb garden for a client a couple of weeks ago, I can completely relate to the “herb spiral” comment, too. Next will be a mandala garden built around four banana circles in a backyard. What can I do? It’s what people want! Appearance is more important than essence to most people, but I manage to sneak the essentials in while keeping up appearances. Designed ecosystems can be both beautiful and practical.

Well, in my opinion the greater picture is lost but still a worthy fight. Yet, the real effort should be with the individual with whatever means to peruse the principals of permaculture. Embrace nature and she will fight for you. Find meaning in your immediate space. Decouple from the delocalized as best you can by using it to leave it. Gardening is important but so is where the garden is. What I mean by this is some need to relocate if they really believe in the spirituality of this life system. This spirituality becomes manifested in lifestyles that seek a lower footprint through consumption management. Localism, seasonality, and intermittency are embraced as a result. On demand and the satisfying discretionary whims promoted by the status quo are shunned as needless distractions.
We know the science is bad in the big picture. We know the sociopolitical is dysfunction. By the time that gets sorted out it is too late. Leave the big picture but still with an eye on it. Leave it because the sources found that study the big picture are compromised. These sources are what is sucking your life energy out. It is pushing you in its direction which is the direction of false promises. Transform your life knowing there is no transcendence from the predicaments we all live with. Yield to the greater destructive forces by following in their wake gathering the crumbs and scraps. Live a hybrid of the best of the old and new and be as a monestary and a beacon for those who also seek wisdom and meaning. There is no higher calling than the truth so get closer to that. Nature is as transparent as it gets in regards to the truth. This then should be your compass.

permacultism in reality is just subsistence farming. the idea of permanence “perma” implies a contract with nature which is infintely complex and obey no rules. this is self deception.
The other deception is aimed at the others though the mass marketing of the idea by pretty much including any successful small scale attempts at animal husbandry and plant growing as part of permacultism.

“US Coal On Track For Record Capacity Decline, Closing 15.4 Gigawatts”
https://tinyurl.com/yavz42z8
“The closure of coal-fired power plants across the United States is currently on track to set a new record this year, with at least 22 plants in 14 states worth 15.4 gigawatts (GW) going dark, according to a new report published by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis. The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) currently expects a total of 15.4 GW of coal-fired capacity to close during 2018 — made up of 44 units at 22 plants in 14 states across the United States. Already this year 11 GW has been closed, and IEEFA expects the trend to continue through to the end of the year, “easily” exceeding the record 14.7 GW worth of coal-fired generation capacity which was closed in 2015.”
“In some parts of the country, like in the Ohio Valley, it’s low-cost gas from fracking. Nationally, as we say in the report, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects natural gas’ share of electric generation to be 35% in 2018 and 2019, up from 28% just five years ago. The technology disruption that is fracking (a combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, really) only started to have a meaningful impact about 10 years ago, so this has been a rapid change. Utilities are building new gas-fired plants — they expect gas prices to remain low for years; the plants are relatively inexpensive to build and run. “In other parts of the country, especially the Great Plains states, it’s wind (mostly), but the impact of solar generation is starting to grow. Wind generation has been growing fast in states from Texas to North Dakota (where the best wind resources are), and wind undercuts coal on price in the power markets, so almost all the wind generation is used, and its market share has been surging. In at least four states (Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, and South Dakota), wind now accounts for 30% or more of each state’s annual electric generation.”
“Wind and solar are a lot less “intermittent” than most people think, especially when spread across large areas and at large, utility-scale projects. But they do ramp up and down — and gas generation happens to be well suited to ramp up or down across the day to complement the output of renewables. Coal (and nuclear power) are simply not able to ramp up and down across the day the way gas turbines can; they work best when run continuously — and coal plants in particular suffer greater wear and tear, especially since many are already decades old, when run this way.” “Longer-term, renewables and storage are a threat to gas,” Feaster concluded. “When renewables are paired with storage to smooth out the ups and downs, it not only undercuts the economics of coal, it’s starting to undercut the economics of natural gas generation in some places too. It’s already starting at the marginal cases: some analysts say that there will be few if any natural gas “peaker” plants — those only used at times of maximum demand during the highest demand times of the year — built west of the Colorado, because the cost of solar plus storage has fallen so fast. Renewables and storage have other benefits for the grid as well, including fast response and grid resiliency, increasing the value of adding them beyond just the simple economics of low-cost generation.

Treasury Expects to Issue Over $1 Trillion in Debt in 2018
Debt issuance this year could be highest since 2010, the Treasury said, as higher government spending and stagnant tax revenues have pushed the deficit higher
WASHINGTON—The U.S. Treasury Department estimates it will issue more than $1 trillion in debt this year as higher government spending and stagnant tax revenues push the deficit higher.
The Treasury said Monday it expects net marketable debt to total $425 billion in the fourth quarter, which would bring total debt issuance in 2018 to $1.338 trillion, compared with $546 billion in 2017. That would be the highest annual debt issuance since $1.586 trillion in 2010, when the U.S. economy was still crawling out of a recession.
The Treasury’s fourth-quarter borrowing estimate of $425 billion is $15 billion less than it estimated in July. That would be the most for any fourth quarter since 2008, at the height of the financial crisis, though the figures can be volatile from quarter to quarter. The Treasury also plans to borrow $356 billion in the first quarter of 2019, compared with $488 billion in the first quarter of 2018.
Rising federal budget deficits are boosting the Treasury’s borrowing and could restrain economic growth as the cost of credit also rises.
The Treasury said earlier this month the deficit grew 17% in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, amid higher spending and sluggish tax receipts, which a senior Treasury official attributed to changes from the tax overhaul enacted late last year.
The deficit is headed toward $1 trillion in the current fiscal year, the White House and Congressional Budget Office said. The Office of Management and Budget projects the government is likely to run trillion-dollar deficits for the next four years.
The rising supply of debt could push up the cost of borrowing as the government seeks to attract investors, though many factors affect rates, including Federal Reserve decisions, the inflation outlook and shifting investor appetite.
The Treasury said last month it would increase auctions of U.S. debt by an additional $30 billion through the end of this month. The Treasury gets cash to fund the government in exchange for selling the securities.
The Treasury will release new details on its financing plans Wednesday.
The higher debt issuance comes as the Federal Reserve has been raising short-term interest rates following an extended period of near-zero rates in the years since the financial crisis. Fed officials lifted their benchmark federal-funds rate to a range between 2% and 2.25% in September, and have penciled in one more rate increase this year, likely in December.
President Trump has criticized the central bank for raising rates, saying it is making it more costly to finance the debt and could slow down the economy.
“Every time we do something, he raises rates. Now, what does that do? That means we pay more on debt, right? That means we pay more on debt and we slow down the economy, both bad things,” Mr. Trump said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
Mr. Trump said he would rather keep rates low and “pay amortization,” meaning pay down debt. Treasury estimates show the government is very far from paying down debt, with the government issuing more than twice as much debt this year than it did last year.

Energy makes the economy go round
“They don’t realise most of the food that is produced for people on this planet comes from using fossil fuels. But the net energy from our oil and gas supply is declining, which is going to have implications for everyone.”
There is a “double whammy” of the current need to use fossil fuels continuing to expand globally, and the fact that the easily accessible fuel is gone and what is left requires much more effort and therefore energy and capital to extract and refine.
We need to find four Saudi Arabias in the next 20 years to keep up with consumption.
“Put another way, we need to find four Saudi Arabias in the next 20 years to keep up with consumption. The reality is that oil is the weak link in the production and delivery of virtually all other forms of energy, commodities, food, goods and services. Oil is, in many respects, the master resource,” Surendran said.

You guys must care about my goats that is all you think about me sometimes. I get more attention my farm than most here maybe because I am honest with skin in this game. Many of you do not have a life or a direction. Is it jealousy or an expression of my enemy’s pain? There are some here who may learn from what I am doing because I am doing something that is an experiment. I am trying to live a life I preach about. The life I preach about is for the individual who wants to find meaning in a time of a deficit of meaning.
The farm I live on consists of hundreds of acres. Some is mine and some is different families. I take care of it and I practice a small scale permaculture on my portion. I have a management intensive grazing system that is multi species. I raise registered breeding stock goats Angus cattle. I have livestock guardian dogs and chickens. I have a garden with an orchard and grapes. I have beehives with bee expects with their hives on the farm. I also take care of most of the farm as a natural ecosystem. I manage many acres of natural grasses. There are woody draws and a few lakes. This year there were many monarch butterflies. They came here more than elsewhere because I promote weeds they like. Other pollinators like these weeds also. The animals like the brushy areas. I have created a mosaic of different habitats with my grazing operation included. There are quail, deer, and turkey. Rabbits and squires are plentiful.
I gather wood for heating from trees that are dead or dying. I have a solar system at my home and barn. I also gather hay which is gathering solar energy the old fashion way. I practice localism as best I can. I try to be seasonal and embrace intermittency through demand management. I am trying to incorporate the best of the old into the new as an example for others. I have a large library and I am collecting tools and hardware with a future. I have a stock of prepper goods also. Guns, ammo, long shelf life food, and goods to barter. I have a hundred bottles of Kentucky bourbon. BTW, I don’t drink.
I am trying to downsize with dignity and use the status quo to leave it. I am embracing relative sacrifice to live stoically and efficiently. I waste little food. My chickens and dogs get all the edible left overs. I try very hard not to drive or travel but do so in relative sacrifice. What I mean by this is you can’t completely leave the status quo and your place in it but you can adapt this place you live in by embracing less affluence and more spirituality. I will teach anyone that will listen and I listen to anyone that will teach me a new trick. I work out and eat right. I fast twice a week to build toughness to food deprivations. How many of you go without food for a day? I work out mentally too. Some of that I do here with character battles. My enemies here think they can run me off but they only make me stronger. My enemies are wrapped up egos obsessed with themselves. I am here to unravel them. I am in good shape for mid-50’s but I also am feeling my strength deteriorate with the aging process.
I am under no illusion I am safe. I live for the day as best I can. This means enjoying my health and the bounty on my life. I cherish my family and take care of them as the patriarch. I have my plot at the local cemetery already picked out. I will try to make my last stand here. I have spent my life moving around exploring life and now I am ready to end it here on my farm. I have been around big money and I am not impressed with it but I am also not like many here who hate it. They hate it because they never had it. If they had it maybe they would understand it is not what they think it is. I left it because it did not provide the meaning I am looking for. I am practicing a spirituality that is both human and natural. I am researching the end of our civilization. I believe in collapsing in place because that is smarter than waiting for the rush. I accept death and know it is lying around waiting. Farming is one of the most dangerous of occupations. I fear it but with respect not fear.
You wanted to know about milking goats. I do sometimes when one of the does needs it. Sometimes they lose a kid and their utter is swollen with milk. I love fresh milk but I don’t milk goats. So yea, I care, too bad many here don’t give a shit about anything but their anger and resentment. I enjoy our games. I also have a competitive streak in me from being fucked with my entire life from not being normal. So FYI, I feed on assholes.

Another fake post, I did not write the comment above. It is udder nonsense. I kid you not. Once my jet is refueled and stocked with goat milk, I will be on my way to Italy for my meeting with the Pope and do not have time for this nonsense.
I would like make a formal request to the Administrator to ban the person who made the post above.

The calculus is really rather simple. Three minutes without air, three days without water and three weeks without food, any one of the listed and things get very interesting.
Four hundred and eighty seven counties make up the blue archipelago that is controlled by the Democrats. These cities attempt to dominate the surrounding 2,626 counties occupied by the Republicans.
What is left of middle America resides in these red counties.
Cities like Miami and San Francisco have more in common with Rio and Rome than they have with the counties that surround them. They see themselves as part of the new world order, a world in which money and people flow freely across international borders. Because of their density, they embrace socialism and multiculturalism on one hand while creating police states on the other.
These blue counties are totally dependent on supply chains that circumnavigate the globe. History proves that complex systems fail over time. When they fail, the great urban diaspora of the desperate and therefore dangerous will begin.
They will flee to the Red counties which hold more than 100 million fire arms.
If you have a month’s worth of food in the pantry and a water supply you may be able to ride out a good portion of the purge.
