Calm Before the Storm

[A new version with better audio is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... ] Peak Moment 115: Richard Heinberg, author of "Peak Everything", reviews the accelerating events since mid-2007, including the credit crunch and fossil fuel price volatility, noting that we've missed most of the best opportunities to manage collapse. He asks, "how far down the staircase of complexity will our global civilization have to go until we're sustainable?" His answer: when managed properly, with deliberate simplification, not as far as we might otherwise. In addition to long term efforts to relocalize our economies, he advocates developing community "resilience" to withstand short-term catastrophic events like food shortages or extreme weather. Noting that healthy fear can move us into action, he encourages an attitude of clarity, concern and informed action in this "calm before the storm" that he feels is soon coming to an end. [www.richardheinberg.com] For a DVD of Richard's presentation that evening for "Kiss Your Gas Goodbye", go to www.peakmoment.tv.

This civilization is collapsing because of overpopulation and a corrupt leadership and over reliance on fossil fuels, with no acknowledgment that (only now) they are limited resources. "You will pay the price for your lack of vision." - Palpatine in Star Wars : A New Hope

A most excellent representation of where we are at this moment in time.

Thank you! you are so correct "AGENDA 21" is a good place to check for all you ppl buying into the peak oil myth and the over population lie. I guess this is how they put the German ppl to serve Hilter's agenda. They will swallow the lies, let history repeat iself, and then justify it.

You mentioned that those with appropriate values deserve to survive possibly. Sounds like Nazi Germany. Let God decide who will survive. Oops, you do not believe in a creator God. This world is dying, God is going to let it just about destroy itself. Then he is coming back to judge us. Wether you believe it or not. Big Corporations, Greedy people, all those who pretend to be something they are not, and the prince of this world (Lucifer) cause evil (ALL).

"Civilizations" collapse because in their pride they forget God and think themselves as gods. God is the creator of life and when mankind thinks they can control life be it the "choice" to abort a child in the womb or manipulation of creation for evil (ie Monsanto) the problems have the same root. When man worships creation (the environuts) over the creator - that is a false god. God will not be mocked. This guy is probably largely correct in his assumptions - albeit for the wrong reasons.

Personally I think "peak oil" is a crock (as is man made global warming). That said - there is MOST DEFINITELY a financial collapse coming - in fact we are in the process right now. It is caused by the international bankers attempt to control the worlds resources through manipulation to establish the New World Order (UN World Government). Their goal is to micro-chip everyone and control all financial transactions. Their main goal is population reduction through food (i.e. Monsanto).

Vote McKinney/Clemente 08 Green Party. Heinenberg's thoughts are exactly what motivates us, and has motivated us in the US since 1984. Stop voting for war, close down the military industrial complex which underlies the conversion of forest into wasteland. Get more community gardens. Vote Green in 08 greg gerritt

I am concerned with comments of arming yourself and getting ready for the worst scenario. Unfortunately human kind has got to a point where technology, peakoil, global warming is upon us,and we must do something about it globally not locally. The theory of the grass roots approach will take to long to right the wrongs of past generations.I do belive technology and the coming Singularity will be our only hope for humans to live in harmony with each other

Good presentation. My own take is that the world may scramble to get the last drops of oil from shale, coal-to-oil, and the Arctic, but in the near future oil availability goes down rather quickly and the cost of everything jumps up. Amory Lovins is fine, but I feel he does not confront where things are headed - and where they already are for many in Asia and Africa. Choking on one's own air in Beijing tells you where they are and are headed, for example. The time to act is now, ASAP.

when I first worked this out I got so scared I could barely do my regular job properly. A few weeks later, I had aquainted myself with all the local garden centres, bought seeds, dug up a part of my garden, bought a greenhouse, and planted. Thanks for the inspiration. x
