The best & most comprehensive article I have read yet about the impending #collapse due to #overshoot, and what we can, but why we won't, do anything about it.

Glad you agree that the #collapse of civilisation is imminent. As you can see from my hashtag #Collapse2040 my guess is that it will be very soon.

What I mean exactly by that hashtag is that if you aren't growing your own food by 2040, you won't be eating. And if you are growing your own food, then roving bands of armed and hungry thugs will be trying to steal it from you.

So who will survive? Those who are able to hang on to large tracts of land, mostly the very rich who are buying it up at a serious rate now, and those that they pay to farm it, and to defend it. Payment will likely be as a share of the available food.

It sounds very feudal, doesn't it? Well, that's where we are headed, in my view. A few will survive as part of the feudal system described above rather than a complete extinction of the human race.

Life will be much, much harder, partly because it will be much harder to grow food than it was due to #ClimateChange and ecological destruction in general - few or no insects for pollination, poor degraded soil, unpredictable weather, and so on. The carrying capacity of the planet will be very much reduced, but I don't think we will go completely extinct.

(Hopefully Musk will have buggered off to Mars by then and won't come back, though I suspect that even he will work out that his idea of colonising Mars is entirely impractical.)
