The influence of climatic change on the Late Bronze Age Collapse and the Greek Dark Ages

Ignoring thousands of years of Anthropogenic emissions sealed our fate.A microcosm of “our collapsing civilization”, which is now unfolding in a non-linear, exponential fashion, as the six-dozen feedback loops we have triggered and ignored, kick in and kick us and

Catastrophically Dire Peer Reviewed Paper Ignored by the Corporate Media!

 The headline from 27 August 2024 at SciTechDaily reads Earth’s Temperature Could Increase by 25 Degrees: Startling New Research Reveals That CO2 Has More Impact Than Previously Thought. I’m not surprised by this catastrophic new paper; I have been expecting to see ‘step changes’

99 Percent Of The Earth’s Species Are Extinct

“If you were to list out every species that has ever existed on Earth—from the tiniest mold spore to the largest mammal—biologists estimate that somewhere around 99 percent of those species would currently be extinct.”My dear friend Professor Guy McPherson

The Carbon Pulse and its Planetary and Atmospheric Implications.

This series is a brilliant dive into the archelogy of how oil evolved and how it became fundamental to this set of living arrangements & how this set of living arrangements can’t function without fossil fuels. There is no “Energy

Is Capitalism by Definition an Extinction Event?

Below is a truly magnificent documentary drawing the connections between the Class War and its attendant racism, Unregulated Capitalism and the destruction of the living biome! “Capital is a mass extinction event.” “For Land: on the capitalist mass extinction. Part

How on Earth Could Civilisation & the Biosphere Collapse in the Next Few Years?

The average person is incredulous when I say that Industrial Civilisation can and probably will collapse in the next two or if we’re ‘lucky’ three years. Sixteen ocean passages on small yachts, two years living in war zones and six

Nobel Prize Winning Economist William Nordhaus Sealed Our Collective Fate

Clearly neither the 1.5C nor the 2C Rubicon’s of anthropogenic warming were ever safe. Nor was 350ppm of CO2 in the Atmosphere for that matter. How did we get ourselves into this nightmare? Nobel Laurate William Nordhaus is quite possibly

Fukushima Daiichi adds Insult to Injury for the Pacific’s Coral Reefs.

As the El Niño builds to a terrifying crescendo, that won’t peak before April 2024, the Pacific’s Coral Reefs will become stressed, and a bleaching event will unfold as it did in the 2016 El Niño. What is our response?

“Current Climate Path Will Lead to Collapse of Life on Earth”

Narrative Control at the Edge of Extinction. As we circle the drain of collapse and extinction, the corporate media pretend to cover the poly-crises we face but report on the great unravelling as if it’s a future issue, rather that

Kevin Hester

Kevin Hester is currently living on Rakino Island, a small island in the Hauraki Gulf near Auckland, New Zealand, monitoring the unravelling of the biosphere and volunteering at the Rakino Island Nursery is currently developing a proposal to create a marine reserve near by. The Island has no grid tied electricity or reticulated water.  I catch my own water from the roof and generate my electricity from the ample solar radiation on the island.
