Last week the excellent Crazy Town from the #postCarbon folks at https://resilience.org pointed me at the Bundyville podcast from Leah Sottile.
I’m only 3 episodes in but already I’m reeling at the tapestry of right wing American dysfunction it’s revealing to me.
It begins with the story of the 2014 armed uprising in Bunkerville, Nevada, led by the Bundy family (no, nothing to do with Ted).
That’s weird enough but where it goes from there is more interesting

#ClimateDiary Happy #indigenousPeoplesDay
Enjoying listening to this #PostCarbon Institute and #Resilience.org podcast just now, hearing from #Indigenous people from across the world who have been facing the #GreatUnravelling for so long already

Conversations between @Eceni and Simon Michaux are always must-listen. Serious thought on the constraints of production in a #PostCarbon society, and consequently how we have to change if anyone is to survive the #ClimateEmergency.
Very strongly recommended.
This week's guest is fast becoming a friend of the Podcast. In the first part of what is now an ongoing series, Dr Simon Michaux outlined for us the nature of the materials crisis - the fact that there is simply not enough stuff, not enough copper or cobalt or lithium to continue to manufacture at the levels we have been - and there's not even enough to make the renewable (or, as Nate Hagens would call them, rebuildable) technology to replace the fossil fuel power we're going to have to stop using. If you haven't listened to these two, please do, because lot of this conversation is predicated on that one, and on our second podcast where we looked at Michaux's hierarchy of needs and really delved into power generation in more depth. I had planned that we'd look more at the remaining five of Simon's hierarchy of needs in this conversation, but - like most of these podcasts - the plan went out of the window when I asked how he was doing and it was clear that he'd been having some really interesting conversat
SPOT ON comment & discussion from two magnificent minds. Please listen & share if it resonates with you 🙏

What does our post-carbon, post urban, post-industrial future look like and how do we get there in ways that allow the current and future generations of life on this planet to flourish?

The Modern World Can't Exist Without These Four Ingredients. They All Require Fossil Fuels
Four materials rank highest on the scale of necessity, forming what I have called the four pillars of modern civilization: cement, steel, plastics, and ammonia are needed in larger quantities than are other essential inputs. The world now produces annually about 4.5 billion tons of cement, 1.8 billion tons of steel, nearly 400 million tons of plastics, and 180 million tons of ammonia. But it is ammonia that deserves the top position as our most important material: its synthesis is the basis of all nitrogen fertilizers, and without their applications it would be impossible to feed, at current levels, nearly half of today’s nearly 8 billion people.

Richard #Heinberg cofounder of the #postcarbon-institute - postcarbon.org concludes, that society may stop burning fossil fuels before the catastrophe happens only by a new religion or direct actions. IPCC will not save us, they only can tell us what is.
hey fediverse, I'm looking for good ressources arround #postcarbon utopias like #solarpunk. please point me to anything, especially if it's left-wing/socialist/anarchistic/marxist
and pls boost
