This @paragkhanna piece = 15 years out of date. No geoengineering fix is a "solution" to warming, and these ideas can best be described as high-risk gambles with unpredictable outcomes, advocated for with the dubious contention that we can't act faster. wired.com/story/geoengin…
2020-09-21 13:39:10#GGWreport was launched by @UNCCD yesterday.👏👏👏The Great Green Wall is a symbol of hope in the face of desertification, and an amazing example of #ClimateAction, that transforms the lives of millions of people in the #Sahel region. @ibrahimthiaw >> unccd.int/news-events/gr…

2020-08-06 20:43:36"56% of British people and 65% of French people think that western civilisation as we know it will soon #collapse (23% of British people expect it within 20 yrs" opendemocracy.net/en/oureconomy/… @Primal_Digest @BneResidents @_benjibrown @Cedders68 @CarbonBrief @jamesforthemany @hollyexley
2020-08-05 23:01:44"It is strange that many #climate scientists assume that the burden of proof in relation to anticipated #collapse is with those who warn & ask us to prepare, rather than themselves who do not want to discuss the matter." opendemocracy.net/en/oureconomy/… @kimbustion @dr_jmartins @joefherb

2020-08-05 19:53:09I was recently asked to comment on a dustup between some members of Extinction Rebellion and Jem Bendell, founder of Deep Adaptation. You can read my thoughts in @postcarbon's newest blog post. postcarbon.org/doom-or-denial…
2020-07-29 04:51:25“Deep Adaptation” thought says #ClimateCrisis will destroy human society. Does it also generate disabling despair? It’s a mighty fight, but we still need hope! thealternative.org.uk/dailyalternati… @jembendell @ExtinctionR @openDemocracy pic.twitter.com/XfTbZh2IVV
2020-07-25 01:48:14Jem and I are working on a book on DA. While awaiting that, it’s worth re-reading this!: voiceofaction.org/collapse-of-ci… It’s not perfect, but it’s a reminder of why the #deepadaptation agenda matters. 5/5
2020-07-19 19:06:31It’s a matter of the #precautionaryprinciple. Collapse will/would probably be so dreadful that not preparing for it to make it less so is now gross irresponsibility. This is why, despite our important differences, I work alongside Jem as a colleague. 4/n #deepadaptation
2020-07-19 19:03:12I wrote this two years ago to distinguish my view from @jembendell’s: medium.com/@rupertread_80… But if you read this you will see that I also explicitly allow that there is now a crucial role for DA. Because collapse is now certainly possible, and probably likely. 3/n
2020-07-19 19:00:52Jem Bendell himself has been very clear on this, throughout: See eg jembendell.com/2019/03/17/the… : "People who consider that societal collapse or breakdown is either possible, likely or already unfolding...are interested in deep adaptation." 2/n.
2020-07-19 18:57:56Quite a lot of attacks on Deep Adaptation on the Twittersphere lately. But there’s a misconception driving many of them: that DA is necessarily a form of doomerism. On the contrary: DA is for all those who are concerned about >potential< eco-driven civilisational collapse. THREAD
