El Niño is arriving with unusual force, and it’s landing on hot oceans, weak recovery between shocks, fragile food systems, fertiliser disruption, and a global system with less resilience than it used to have. WASF. #overshoot #collapse adrianlambert.substack.com/p/el-nino-la...
El Niño Lands on a System Already Collapsing
The real story is a global system already losing resilience.

Some neurodivergent people are masking twice. Masking autism or ADHD to get through everyday life. And masking collapse awareness: taking part in conversations about careers, growth and future plans when the shared future no longer feels believable. adrianlambert.substack.com/p/masked-twi...

The cost of living keeps rising. States are spending more on weapons. People are moving, delaying major decisions, and having fewer children. My new essay uses game theory to explain #collapse: Everyone is playing correctly. And that is enough. adrianlambert.substack.com/p/everyone-i...

The world isn’t ending. It’s stopping working. Roads take longer to repair. Deliveries don’t arrive. Waiting lists stretch into years. We’re not running out of energy. We’re losing the ability to organise it. #overshoot #collapse adrianlambert.substack.com/p/the-world-...

We tend to assume innovation overcomes limits. It doesn’t. Technological progress is shaped by energy - density, availability, and physical properties determine what can be built and sustained. Ingenuity doesn’t remove constraints. It works within them. adrianlambert.substack.com/p/the-thermo...

Global civilisation is in a thermodynamic trap. If the oil stops flowing, the AI boom stops. And when the AI boom stops, the illusion of endless growth collapses with it. #overshoot #collapse www.bbc.com/news/article...

Something mercifully short from me. The universe trends toward thermal equilibrium and industrial civilisation is a dissipative structure nested inside that process. This century is an energetic spike. We happen to be alive inside it. New essay: adrianlambert.substack.com/p/the-entrop...

I'd like to contribute to the discussion about what a 'doomer' is, by offering a meta definition that all other definitions sit within; "A doomer is someone who understands and accepts that global industrial civilisation is collapsing due to ecological overshoot." #overshoot #collapse
This is disingenuous. Everyday consumers using the energy produced by these firms are no different to the people running the fossil fuel companies. #overshoot #collapse
Prof Bill McGuire@profbillmcguire.bsky.social · 7mo agoMake no mistake, the criminals who run these corporations are fully aware that they are destroying our world, and bequeathing a savage future to our children and theirs But they just don't care.

Why do some people see #collapse coming early - even when it costs them socially, professionally, and changes nothing at scale? Here I argue that early perception isn’t about prevention at all, but about preserving adaptive options as systems fail. Thx :) adrianlambert.substack.com/p/if-collaps...
