There are lots of counters to this which is probably why it got published in economics journal rather than anthropology or other more domain informed journal. still an interesting contrarian take.
yeah i downloaded my reddit history. there are still reddit archives run by third parties that save everything indexed to usernames i think , you might be able to search the old stuff like that.
I will try to sort through all my reddit crap at some point and maybe post stuff thats useful as blog or publish a magazine or something. Im trying to exit the internet 95% over the next 2 years and get my anti-doomsday cult going fully in real life.
internet is such a shitshow that i realized its mostly just a negative in every way now. i dont know what its good for at this point.
At this point i would just prefer interacting with people in more direct ways. im writing off everyone not in my future tribe of back to the land revolutionaries plotting the destruction of the status quo and birth of alternatives.
Your argument that overconsumption is the culprit but not population doesn’t make sense when the equation is (Population X Consumption)= Environmental impact.
There is no consumption without the population.
And virtually all the published everything about overpopulation is fully onboard that first world consumption needs to come down and 3rd world needs to go up to be fair.
Why does everyone think talking about overpopulation means you are hitler looking for lebensraum?
Evergrande and chinese property are just shufflings of abstract information in the form of money . the real economy is biophysical.
Expect waves of stagflation of various sizes and duration to be the principal form of economic collapse experienced by the working class. It doesn’t have to come as a collapse just a slow grind across a lifetime of declining standards of living.
The reason this is more relevant and not just fracking stufff is this. Its added ON TOP OF THE FRACKING RELEASES! **
Isotopically lighter measurements of 13Cch4 are consistent with the recent atmospheric methane growth being mainly driven by an increase in emissions from microbial sources, particularly wetlands.**
BULLET POINTS.
globally, about 20% of agricultural soils face severe potassium deficiency, with particular regions likely to experience more critical shortages, including 44% of agricultural soils in South-East Asia, 39% in Latin America, 30% in Sub-Saharan Africa and 20% in East Asia, largely due to more intensive agricultural practices.
Canada, Russia, Belarus and China producing 80% of the world’s total raw potash.
in April 2022, the price of potash increased 500% above the previous year following a “perfect storm” of factors, including rising fertilizer demand, escalating fuel prices, recovery from the pandemic, a range of government actions around the world, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine
Russia and Belarus together export about 42% of the world’s potash supply
2021, global potash consumption reached 45 million metric tons
And then of course they come in with some hopium crackhead dream bullshit like “Developing a global circular potassium economy that minimizes the use and maximizes the reuse and recycling of the nutrient” as if the current system is retrofittable for anything remotely like that. Even with perfect circular economy at scale, potassium still leaches from soil and is lost from agriculture.
Holy shit i was really just hoping that 2023 was an anomaly and now i see we are in the next level of “oh shit!”
No recovery back towards old trend yet. This could be snowballing, or eh uh i guess the opposite of snowballing. ?Fireballing?
This could be a system perturbed into a new higher equilibrium but with the feedback who knows how far this can go. blue ocean arctic ☠️
