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.

 

Dear Sir David King,
It's too late for repairs. You can't fix a sinking ship anymore. Science has had thirty years to figure out safe solutions. Your time has run out. Continuing now on the current course of competitive innovation only intensifies the shipwreck. So please come up with a different song/story. The engines should be totally shut down.
If the captain (and his engineers) of the SS Titanic had shut down the engines the moment the captain of the SS Californian urgently advised him to do so that night, there would have been no sinking. Remember Gallipoli 1915 and Arnhem 1944.
Now also: the only way out from overheating (and the collapse of the earth's habitability) is extreme economic Degrowth i.e..shut down all aviation, internet, superfluous traffic and shipping; and start producing food, care, housing, and essential utensils much more manually and much more locally. Hands and hearts, Sir David, and less FTSE-oriented brainiacs.
