Thanks to @lightsoutforbirds.bsky.social for recommending this powerful documentary. It's honest, hard-hitting & essential. Please watch & share. Excellent work by Dr Sofia Pineda Ochoa with brilliant contributions from Nandita Bajaj, @chrisgpackham.bsky.social & co. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjWU...

"Planet of the Humans" barely mentioned human population overshoot, and were vilified for it. "Greenwashed" fills in that missing analysis with credible and ignored data, while exposing equivocation by Guardian reporters and noted scientists. Many revelations might have you shaking your head.

It's kinda funny though: pronatalists quote each other for the illusion of depth. This one quotes Dean Spears, a professor of Economic Demography at The Population Research Center at The University of Texas at Austin, which received a large donation from Musk. + Paul Moreland, depopulation alarmist.

If you link to the article, it's just like so many pronatalist propaganda pieces. Tedious after a couple dozen. Conflates replacement level fertility with zero pop growth & not enough workers to support pensioners. Says India's TFR is 2.0, but no mention of their 250 mill projected growth by 2060.

Dismissing people as “clinging to an outdated idea” is easier than engaging with ecology. Population isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about land, water, soil, habitat loss, nutrient cycling, fisheries, and mass extinction. Emissions are only one symptom. Overshoot is the whole condition.

Exciting times! Just realised I've become part of the blocked-by-Mann club 🥳 Never interacted with him, here or elsewhere. I'm a real doomer now! 😂

The very engine of our economic system runs on supremacy and inequality narratives, because these are the drivers behind the lowest wages, greatest exploitation and maximum profit. open.substack.com/pub/georgets...

Biodiversity is the collateral damage of war we never count—yet its loss, like human life, is eternal. No one mourns the forest, but the silence it leaves never ends. apple.news/AHYmsEgf5Qiq...

In my experience, people with forestry degrees typically don't know anything about forest ecology. Worse, they believe themselves to be the be-all-end-all experts on forests, and worse still, politicians and the general public buy into that delusion.

Science is a method, not a mind. It doesn’t know—people interpret its results, often within narrow frames. Real ecological humility means accepting how much we still don’t understand about the living systems we’re unraveling.

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today: "It's a vicious cycle. As sea ice melts and opens new routes for maritime traffic in the Arctic, the environmental fallout caused by vessels burning fossil fuels adds to global warming, which in turn melts more sea ice." www.france24.com/en/environme...

Strange how climate deniers never convinced insurers their bankruptcies are just a hoax. No one’s debating sea level rise in the boardroom. Insurers are walking away. Reality doesn’t care if you believe in it. cleantechnica.com/2025/06/06/c...

Being stewards of the Earth requires a heavy dose of greenwashing. Over 8 billion consumers cannot be stewards, rather something more akin to a planetary disease process, a malignancy. That’s the biophysical reality which ecologists should be the first to admit to rather than greenwash & gaslight.

Fire unearths memory. Mercury, lead, and carbon ride the smoke, infiltrate rivers, settle on crops. Our pollution has become part of the cycle of life—and death. grist.org/climate/cana...

Mann & his ilk are actually indirectly responsible for a lot of climate change denial. Most can see “climate action” is largely just profiteering, and destroying ecosystems for renewables mining & deployment makes no sense and people can see that, therefore they think climate change is a scam.

I was blocked by Mann immediately on posting this. What’s his problem - can’t defend his science & world view? I thought science was all about debate. With Mann there is no debate. We can’t question the cult of renewables & green capitalism can we?

I see I was also blocked by Mann. First time commenter and reasonably polite dissenter of his. He apparently is a shill for the profiteering "green" energy industry. And he's a coward, who is doing everything he can to make his echo chamber airtight. How utterly sad and pathetic.

By bullshit I mean not that Mann’s assertions are incorrect- he may well be correct in saying this. But the implication that we can stop emissions is just BS. Mann seems to be a shill for green capitalism; the idea that we can transfer energy systems over to wind & solar and stop emissions in 30 y?!

“Doomer” is just an ad hominem label for someone who understands our multi-faceted predicament can’t be solved by “green capitalism”, & in fact that will make it worse. For instance mining for critical minerals (diesel) will need to increase 16x and that will inevitably destroy more of the biosphere

Wait, isn’t “climate scientist” Hayhoe the chief scientific advisor of the Nature Conservancy? Mainstream climate science is anti-environment & anti-biosphere & anti-biodiversity. Human supremacist BS.
