I guess I will post this in this thread--since stress on water
resources and climate change will be a big reason why
industrialized civilization cannot "sustain" itself.
--- Quote ---
> In 1972, a team of MIT scientists got together to study the
risks of civilizational collapse. Their system dynamics model
published by the Club of Rome identified impending ‘limits to
growth’ (LtG) that meant industrial civilization was on track to
collapse sometime within the 21st century, due to
overexploitation of planetary resources.
>
> The controversial MIT analysis generated heated debate, and
was widely derided at the time by pundits who misrepresented its
findings and methods. But the analysis has now received stunning
vindication from a study written by a senior director at
professional services giant KPMG, one of the 'Big Four'
accounting firms as measured by global revenue.
>
> The study was published in the Yale Journal of Industrial
Ecology in November 2020 and is available on the KPMG website.
It concludes that the current business-as-usual trajectory of
global civilization is heading toward the terminal decline of
economic growth within the coming decade—and at worst, could
trigger societal collapse by around 2040.

Only 11 Years Left to Prevent Irreversible Damage from Climate
Change, Speakers Warn during General Assembly High-Level Meeting
--- Quote ---
> Ambition, Urgency Needed to Address Global Emergency,
Secretary-General Says
>
> Just over a decade is all that remains to stop irreversible
damage from climate change, world leaders heard today as the
General Assembly opened a high‑level meeting on the
relationship between the phenomenon and sustainable development.
>
> The meeting — held pursuant to General Assembly resolution
72/219 (2017) — will run through 29 March with a focus on
protection of the global climate for present and future
generations, in the context of the economic, social and
environmental dimensions of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development.
>
> “We are the last generation that can prevent irreparable
damage to our planet,” General Assembly President María Fernanda
Espinosa Garcés (Ecuador) warned the gathering in her opening
remarks, stressing that 11 years are all that remain to avert
catastrophe. Highlighting the meeting’s theme, Ms. Espinosa
called for an intergenerational approach to climate change.
“Climate justice is intergenerational justice,” she said,
calling on States to act collectively and responsibly.
>
> Pointing to intensified calls by youth leaders for action on
climate change, she said that 2019 must be a year of climate
action at all levels. Drawing inspiration from the thousands of
students worldwide demanding tangible action, she called on
world leaders to make 2020 the last year carbon emissions
increase due to human activities. To achieve these goals,
people worldwide must change their patterns of consumption, she
said, noting that, every year, 1.3 billion tons of food are
wasted as some 2 billion people suffer of hunger and
malnutrition.
>
> Further echoing the global youth’s call to action was United
Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, who said young
people are demanding that today’s leaders act on behalf of
future generations. “We must address this global emergency with
ambition and urgency,” he stressed, remarking that climate
change threatens decades of development progress and plans for
inclusive sustainable development.
>
> Noting that “hundreds of thousands — perhaps millions” of
people have been affected by cyclone Idai in Mozambique, Malawi
and Zimbabwe, he said such events are becoming more frequent and
will become worse without urgent, immediate action. He
announced the convening of a climate action summit, calling on
leaders to meet in New York on 23 September with concrete,
realistic plans to enhance nationally determined contributions
by 2020.
>
> Pointing to agents of change, he stressed the importance of
the role of women as key decisions makers, adding that the
summit will assemble Governments, the private sector, local
authorities and other organizations.

More of the retarded obsession with carbon:
--- Quote ---
> UN crowns nuclear as lowest carbon electricity source

> Nuclear power produces less CO2 emissions over its lifecycle
than any other electricity source, according to a new report by
United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).

> The commission found nuclear power has the lowest carbon
footprint measured in grams of CO2 per kilowatt-hour (kWh),
compared to any rival electricity sources – including wind,
solar, gas and coal.

> UN gives thumbs-up to UK’s nuclear ambitions
>
> UNECE supports the findings of a separate study into the
lifecycle emissions of Britain’s newest nuclear power projects,
Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C.

> It found both plants were likely to have a lifecycle impact of
5.5g CO2 per kilowatt hour.

money to support the construction phase.

Nuclear power also has the highest output of ... nuclear waste
which remains toxic for tens of thousands of years. Very clean.
Very safe (if you ignore the hundreds of accidents that have
already occurred). Thanks Western Civilization. The people who
support this are living in a separate universe from sane people.
If solar, wind, and water power somehow generate more carbon
dioxide, then that is due to the utter failure of industrialized
Western Civilization.
How does this make carbon dioxide pollution?

Ironically, this type of water power was how the industrial
revolution was powered prior to coal and other fossil fuels. The
water wheel would turn a shaft and all machines in the factory
would have a belt connected to the shaft to spin their gears and
power their movement. No carbon dioxide pollution...

...Instead of making wind and solar marginally more efficient,
Westerners jump to the power source which produces f'ing toxic
waste which remains dangerous for tens of thousands of years?
Scientists have literally debated how to make warning signs for
nuclear waste storage sites which will outlast any living
language--since the waste will remain dangerous for that long!
And they dare to call themselves environmentalists? Their
mentality is literally no different than global warming
denialists. Global warming denialists think the problem won't
effect them during their lifetime, so they don't care. These
so-called environmentalists think nuclear power will be
"sustainable" during their lifetime, so they don't care about
the future consequences.
Western Civilization is evil.

I know True Leftists have an utter disregard for intelligence in
the bigger picture, and I know most people have always been
pretty dumb. But lately I cannot help but wonder how did these
people get to be this specifically stupid!? I mean, most of them
aren't even living in reality at this point!? What is going on
in your fucken heads dude, seriously WTF!?!?!
Western universities must be pumping out the biggest idiots this
world has ever known left and right!? Is it the fluoride in the
water, I mean WTF!?!?!? Are you people ever going to get serious
about anything important or do the sane of this world have to
put up with your idiotic dribble until the day they leave here?
