We're fast running out of time to shift our whole civilization to have a deeper, more respectful relationship with exquisite planet Earth. Only a few years to make herculean change, while keeping the tiller steady. Can you help us complete this global documentary series on stabilizing our planet, climate, and civilization? Please donate what you can afford - this is urgent, and everything we know and love is at stake. Thank you all. 🙏 ❤️ https://www.backtoourfuture.net

'Great to see a review in the Graun today of a paper co-authored by @BarnardPhoebe who I keenly followed over on x, but who needs luring back here. "Human ‘#behavioural crisis’ at root of #climate breakdown" -- which proposes that climate breakdown is a symptom of ecological overshoot, which in turn is caused by the deliberate exploitation of human behaviour.

Joseph Merz and colleagues assert that most climate “solutions” proposed so far only tackle symptoms rather than the root cause of the crisis. This leads to increasing levels of the three “levers” of #overshoot: #consumption, #waste and #population.

Human ‘behavioural crisis’ at root of climate breakdown, say scientists

New paper claims unless demand for resources is reduced, many other innovations are just a sticking plaster

@craigawelch please won't you contact me about the global climate restoration and ecosystem restoration documentary series that we're making, based in Mount Vernon and Bellingham? https://www.backtoourfuture.net. My em = phoebe.barnard at stableplanetalliance.org. Much to discuss! I'm a climate and biodiversity scientist, strategist, film coproducer. Cheers!

3/7 The first, alignment of the global ecosystem restoration, ecosystem-based climate restoration and youth leadership movements (networks, champions, field sites, ideas) has ambitious goals involving (a) perhaps 1 bn people by 2030 in these increasingly x-pollinating realms...

2/7 These three initiatives are: 1. aligning global ecosystem restoration+permaculture movements with that on ecosystem-based climate restoration; 2. a documentary on changing the future by climate+ ecosystem restoration; 3. a global coalition on reducing human planetary impacts.
