civilization collapse

Why am I thinking To write To type The sound the blackberry curve 9360 makes Creaks and breaks Unlike the silent iphone Something is not right If all was well I was happy and content Perhaps question the universe and my place in it I would not I don't look forward to tomorrow I want to write I hate living But its wrong even if its true Each morning The big why I can't answer Inside I look Answers aren't there So I dodge past Make coffee Eat breakfast Get dressed Pretty soon the question is almost gone Maybe I'll be dead before tomorrow Its the hunger I know it That's killing the planet I don't have it bad now But I have had it bad before Goals Sales quotas Growth An Emaciated crack user sitting on her haunches searching the cracks in the pavement for non existant crack for the third time Now I am not hungry to swallow the world But I was Starving Voracious Take my credit card Let's order another round So I know I don&

M$ if we don't move we are going to die - or our kids are going to die F$ I am fed up with this M$ you're ignoring the facts F$ you don't know what's going to happen M$ yes we do - oil is not a renewable resource F$ they are alternatives M$ none that are city size F$ I don't care M$ there isn't going to be enough food F$ billions of other people live with hunger and they are happy and have families M$ but that doesn't mean WE have to be hungry F$ why not? We're no better M$ that's not my point - we are lucky enough to be able to see the tsunami before it hits - what's wrong with moving to higher ground F$ when the year 2000 bug was predicted you bought water and found but you were wrong M$ I admit that I am focussed on disasters but scientists, governments and industry are united on this one F$ ok - let's say everyone agrees - peak oil, collapse, then what? M$ I'm not worried about everyone else - just us. Whe

I'd like to see falling wages matched again rising energy prices: http://www.thestreet.com/story/11480568/1/us-standard-of-living-has-fallen-more-than-50-opinion.html  In writing about the relentless collapse of Western economies, I frequently point to "40 years of plummeting wages" for Western workers, in real dollars.

Two countries fixed this France and the USA Other countries tried and failed and their people live as prisoners

End of cities and man defined by purchasing not doing

350 looks great - positive leader / author / scientist - positive message - visualize a much lower CO2 ppm than now what's missing? - a billion dollars - significant support from global thought leaders - like the Pope or Formula 1 or FIFA - a plan b (when you miss the target) - an acknowledgement of how peak oil will impact CO2 -- less oil = less oil consumed -- energy requirements remain unchanged -- other energy sources will be used - specifically coal

http://www.ted.com/talks/paul_gilding_the_earth_is_full.html Paul Gilding starts his TEDTalk with four words that say almost everything: “The Earth is full.” It’s a terrifying concept. Have we really strained, mined and otherwise depleted the planet’s resources to the point where social collapse is inevitable? Gilding believes we have, and he launches into a defense of that notion.

An MIT research team predicts a Global Economic collapse and ensuing global population decline by 2030 due to lack of resources to support the earth’s population. With seven billion people on the planet, the system as it is currently managed can’t possibility continue to support the daily needs of the world’s population. The solutions that have been presented over the course of the last half century fall far short of providing any meaningful results, despite the treasure spent and liberty stripped. Slowly but surely we are approaching Peak Civilization… http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/2012/04/05/peak-civilization-mit-predicts-global-economic-collapse-2030-113991/
