Climate-Clues is the website of Afwendbaar:
a group of climate activists looking for clues
on how to implement societal solutions
to avert a fatal climate collapse.

As experienced farmers and citizens we under-
stood from the beginning (1993) that climate
change is unstoppable if we do not curb our
society's excessive hunger for energy.
Simply, because energy is man's main
weapon to stay ahead of the rest. 

And so: global warming is much more a problem
of our ways of dealing with each other than a
technical problem. Only the latter has been
addressed so far, but it fails: look how
the climate is derailing worldwide.

We need to counter this much more radically
than has been thought up until now.

 

This smoothly running destruction system in which winners mentally degrade to the point where they see and treat every living potential next to them as a booby trap, refers not only to the making-off of the genocide in Gaza, but also to the global genocide of all young people (their future, their health, their well-being) that is now underway. Look at the ever-expanding heat zones around the equator. While, meanwhile, in those zones half a million people a year already die of heat stress, the rich are having absurd cruise ships built, and are investing in research into how to prevent it from getting too hot in planes waiting for take-off.

So what's to come?
If political thinking (of politicians, citizens, activists) does not acutely begin to force all decision-makers on production, trade and distribution of goods and services to give absolute priority to the essentials and force them to totally shut down the production of all the superfluous, humanity will soon turn to dust and rubble.
Pearce and Parncutt: If warming reaches or exceeds 2 °C this century, mainly richer humans will be responsible for killing roughly 1 billion mainly poorer humans through anthropogenic global warming, which is comparable with involuntary or negligent manslaughter.
