An Inconvenient Apocalypse - YouTube
“The dream of endless bounty is over. We must save as much of Nature as is still possible and end the wealth-concentrating system that is destroying it. Wes Jackson, in his no-nonsense fashion, explains how our ecological collapse began with #agriculture, when we started to remove carbon from the soil to grow crops, then from the forests to build ships, and finally from the deep ground to build civilizations. Now we need to power down as we face irreversible changes - inconvenient, to say the least. Wes Jackson and Robert Jensen envision a transition - to fewer and less - to life without dense energy, with less destructive systems of agriculture. They chart a collective, realistic path for humanity - not only to survive, but also to emerge on the other side with a renewed appreciation of the larger living world, recognizing that the rediscovery of Nature, and of human connection is the greatest renaissance of all. Their book, An Inconvenient #Apocalypse, Environmental Collapse, #Climate Crisis and the Fate of Humanity will be published by The University of Notre Dame Press in the fall of 2022 and will be available both in paper and in digital format.
