El promedio de consumo de todos los países de la Tierra ha alcanzado hoy el límite de recursos que produce el planeta en un año.
Los dos países más tragones son Qatar (agotó su asignación de recursos el 6 de febrero) y EEUU (la agotó el 13 de marzo).

The Fundamental Problem of Modernity
"Polycrisis isn’t just about carbon emissions and volatile weather events; those are just the grabby, charismatic problems. The primary reason we have entered a state of collapse is because of something called “ecological overshoot.” Put simply: we use more than the planet can sustain, but all of our systems are predicated on pretending that is not the case so that we can stick to business-as-usual."

Time to get real about our futures—which are "already here, just not evenly distributed."
The 2024 state of the climate report: Perilous times on planet Earth
Conclusion: "Despite six IPCC reports, 28 COP meetings, hundreds of other reports, and tens of thousands of scientific papers, the world has made only very minor headway on climate change, in part because of stiff resistance from those benefiting financially from the current fossil-fuel based system. We are currently going in the wrong direction, and our increasing fossil fuel consumption and rising greenhouse gas emissions are driving us toward a climate catastrophe. We fear the danger of climate breakdown. The evidence we observe is both alarming and undeniable, but it is this very shock that drives us to action. We recognize the profound urgency of addressing this global challenge, especially the horrific outlook for the world's poor. We feel the courage and determination to seek transformative science-based solutions across all aspects of society.. Our goal is to provide clear, evidence-based insights that inspire informed and bold responses from citizens to researchers and world leaders. Rapidly phasing down fossil fuel use should be a top priority...In a world with finite resources, unlimited growth is a perilous illusion."

Ecological overshoot (Ecosystems 🏞️)
Ecological overshoot is the phenomenon which occurs when the demands made on a natural ecosystem exceed its regenerative capacity. Global ecological overshoot occurs when the demands made by humanity exceed what the biosphere of Earth can provide through its capacity for renewal.

For international friends - while it's focussed on politics in the UK, it's #internationalist with relevance elsewhere.
A bit more work to do on it: make it more phone-friendly, create topic modules & add infographics.

Britain and the rest of the world face a set of almost intractable challenges, ecological (including climate), economic and social. Yet political leaders with few exceptions are failing to propose the actions and policies that could address the scale of this pancrisis. Here though is an alternative initiative, a kind of alternative manifesto with a portfolio of illustrative policies...

#StopEcocide: The European Council has formally adopted a new #EnvironmentalCrime directive, which includes provision to criminalise cases ‘comparable to #ecocide.'
Member states will now have a 24 month period, via the so-called ‘transposition’ process, in which to align national legislation with the newly adopted directive.
The Environmental Crime Directive is here: https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/PE-82-2023-INIT/en/pdf
Search 'ecocide'. See Section 21, p11
Of course here in the UK we have elected not to be bound by anything the EU does to stop us trashing the #environment. Yayyy, aren't we clever? In other news: UK confirmed to be in #recession following update to Q3 '23 GDP figures. So the real benefit of #Brexit is we get #Degrowth whether we want it or not. Finally, a useful addition to the list of supposed #BrexitBenefits.

Alan Urban: What It Means To Be “Collapse-Aware”
Becoming collapse-aware can make you feel like you're going insane. You'd be crazy if it didn't.
"But before I can tell you what it means to be collapse-aware, I have to tell you what “collapse-aware” means. If you’re collapse-aware, it means you’ve learned enough about #ClimateChange, #pollution, resource depletion, and #BiodiversityLoss to conclude that civilization is unsustainable and will eventually #collapse."
