Flowers depend on insects. Trees take too long to cross pollinate and adjust to rapid climate change. I would say my farewells to both flowers 🌺 and trees 🌳 R.I.P. #FunctionalExtinction #GhostsInAShell

Humans force most plants and food animals into inbreeding (incest) depressions today. We have ended sex for animals and specifically, sex with non-next-of-kin family members. Humans themselves also inbreed more than wild primates to. Darwin lost two children due to this. Humans are sick this way.

"Nine meals away from extinction" #9Meals

People don't get it but when we depend on global trade for the most essential thing, #food, any form of democracy gives up self-reliance. Kings can invade other countries and kill humans in case of food shortages. Democracies stop being democracies and become kingdoms. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

#Spelt has 2X more protein than #chickpeas. 3X more than white #beans. We get enough protein (>2x RDA) not matter if processed or not. But if we eat it whole or not - makes a huge difference Fibre Whole spelt: 11g White spelt flour: 3.3 g GI Index: Oatmeal particle size alters glycemic index

It's not just that 60% are on RX drugs. These drugs are often not helpful. Out of 406 prescribed medications - only 4 did not decrease mortality. When a system 1. normalizes sickness by over treating symptoms only, when 2. treatments tend to make it worse, when 3. few get rich/better.. #collapse

Let's assume we invented a time machine and have invited Charles Darwin to the present day. We preserved Down House for him where he can adjust to all our modern technologies at his own pace. Over tea, someone casually mentions that the UK had lost close to 2/3s of all insect biomass in three years.

Thank you for this. 10 years ago, we were still discussing things like worst case scenarios and population dynamics. Then Michael Mann, Zecke Hausfather and CarbonBrief happened? My napkin (10y trend) shows me >0.6°C/decade, even when adjusted for ENSO.

Who will save the cows, pigs and chickens from humans? Food animals are the reason there is no wildlife left but get tortured from birth till death for our pleasure.

Given observational data trends (EEI, SST, ...) I fear that we will see 2°C by 2030. "Don't rule out worst case scenarios" was good advice in the past. Today, we are living something worse than our worst cases. We are living a Black Swan. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_s...

Humans are living nightmares. The only devils and monsters to have ever existed. Humans are hell before death. Sad(istic) death cult(ure). "Dear animals. I'm very sorry. It will be all over soon."

The ecologist in me doesn't see "anarchy" when it comes to "just nine meals". Not when we are in overshoot debt. When food runs out when we are overpopulated, we quickly destroy the last hotspots that can still grow food. "Just nine meals separate humanity from extinction" #Extinction #9Meals

We blame the canary in the coal mine for our follies. Healthy nature is a marker for how well our life support systems are working. Earth's AC, Earth's humidifier, Earth's water distillation, Earth's HEPA filters... #CleanAir #CleanWater What waters would you rather bath in and drink from?

For decades, we made climate change about the children and young people? What I see around me today: Nina hopes to find a good creative job. Max is training for a marathon. Linda has ADHD and now has to take Ritalin. James is a new father and is worried about his work-life balance... #Lalala

The long-term carbon sink depends on the #microbiome aka primary production that all plants depend on. Pesticides reach protected reservers and destroy the microbiome. 2.5% less insect biomass in reserves per year tells it all. 1.7% of Norway's #forests are old growth. 98% are cancerous.

It's not just that 60% are on RX drugs. These drugs are often not helpful. Out of 406 prescribed medications - only 4 did not decrease mortality. When a system 1. normalizes sickness by over treating symptoms only, when 2. treatments tend to make it worse, when 3. few get rich/better.. #collapse

We love the wrong kind of trans. Trans fats are unhealthier than meats. What product in a supermarket has the most trans fat today? Note: Laws in the US and EU have prohibited trans fats in margarines. Today, it is ruminant products like #butter, cheese and #beef that are highest in trans fats.

Carbon prices are the ultimate modern denial. We are passed 2°C without air pollution dimming. The price for CO2 is hence $∞ and markets and ETS cannot work anymore by definition. We either do what we did regarding CFCs or we go extinct very soon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2Jz...

#Austria is a high emitter country. Austrians eat a lot of meat & dairy, burn a lot of biomass (wood), drive and fly a lot. There is about 5,000 m2 per person available but the avg. Austrian uses 26,000 m2. @peakaustria.bsky.social @s4fat.bsky.social @steurer.bsky.social

Well said. There's a delightful article from East Anglia Bylines showing nature knows best

We create a false dichotomy aka #denial. Technocrats claim that it's about consumption while they want to consume more and grow more humans. Ecologists claim that it's about population AND consumption and want to reduce both.

How did the UK lose 63% of insects in only 3 years? 2021-2024? Are we already talking about this btw?

This is exactly what killed 80% of US bees in only 8 months. #Pesticides like glyphosate are broad spectrum #antibiotics Role of glyphosate in the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria? academic.oup.com/jac/article/...

Saving people is American #beef

Too late now 🤷‍♂️ Yes we were hiding that this will kill humans, soils and nature ... but... you know... cheap #bacon 🥓 Nothing we can do now. So sorry. ec.europa.eu/newsroom/san...

⏰ Modern men are not insecure at all.

We think in problems (red) but don't understand the predicament (green). More and better solutions are the problem today. Ecosystems are the only food systems that can exist per definition. We cannot invent better food systems to conquer the skies. All we can do is humbly obey gravity and nature.

The financial system is a made up story and exists only in our minds and on paper. Food is more, dare we say, real and primary? How important is food for you on a scale of 1 to 10? Compared to the flee meds for your #dog? How much of the economy may suffer if there were no more food? 5%? 10%? 15%?

I had an adventurous career & travelled ze world. When friends & family see me do natural farming nowadays, they don't know what to make of it. Some think it's a longing for simplicity or survivalist training. For me, it's a coming home to my own nature. It's been in the making, not a reaction.

Medication won. Treating symptoms won. Prevention never stood a chance. www.theguardian.com/world/2020/j... The Sedations of Nations www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPiU... #HumanExtinction

Having (food) slaves is fine but not if we still need to work a lot? I do not need slaves and don't have to work a lot. The most beautiful life that I can imagine, is also the most sustainable and most free and most equal of all. www.goodreads.com/author/quote...

Growing native grains & legumes in mixed vegetation requires no work & time compared to preparing #food. I eat my grains whole and don't need to mill. But I need to cook aka boil. In winter, cooking heat can warm the home. In summer, cooking adds heat to heat. I have a simple solar cooker for that 🔆

To be clear. It was the "climate campaigner" who claimed that enforced veganism is not necessary and fake news. Who needs enemies with friends...? Animal Ag is HALF of all climate forcing W/m2. Just like fossil fuels, we have to end and phase our Animal Ag for ecological, health and moral reasons.

⚖️ Problem: Heat Solution: More ACs Problem: Drought Solution: More irrigation Problem: Pain Solution: More painkillers ... Problem: Solutions Solution: Fewer solutions, more reductions. Problem: Humans don't want to reduce Solution: Extinction

Russia sends fossil fuel #fertiliser to Brazil and South America. Europe, China and US then import soy for their cheap meat for cheap humans. But it's not just fertiliser. The reason why rainforests lose 2.5% insect biomass per year today is #pesticides. #Food #Extinction

There must be a beginning of any great matter, but the continuing unto the end until it be thoroughly finsihed yields the true glory. Sir Fracis Drake, 1587

Humans who justify causing fear and trauma for their pleasures make me cry. There are plant substitutes that taste like real fear, trauma & pain. These substitutes are healthier for us too. There is only one reason to choose self damaging fear over healthy no fear: Most humans are sad-ists.

Our relationship with #nature is #slavery

Sadly, this was fake news. Animal slavery, animal torture and animal murder is still legal and most people partake in it daily for pleasure. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Real forests take hundreds of years to develop. Scientists assume it more like Minecraft. We cannot reduce land use and increase rewilding without FIRST reducing: - Human population - Livestock population We move land use to old growth rainforest regions. We cut out our last vital organs.

Protected areas means nothing today. When less than 2.7% of Canadian #forests are #oldgrowth, it means nothing that 11% of forests are in protected areas. Germany lost 75% of ALL insects in protected nature reserves in 2-3 decades. We are in denial while everything is dying around us. #Extinction

I know that humans are old children, not childish adults. But I am not sure if humans are masochistic sadists or sadistic masochists? One thing is certain, we don't know what life is worth and will ergo soon go extinct. "Dear animals, I'm so very sorry. It will all be over very very soon."
