As I sit here and read Climate Wars, by Gwynne Dyer , you realize how our entire economy of consumption has doomed us. Everything is about more profit, higher sales, and economic growth. Yet, you cannot have infinite consumption in a finite system.

The Drake Equation was written by American astronomer Frank Drake to estimate the number of high-tech civilisations in our galaxy. Some civilizations pass through the energy-environment bottleneck that our own civilization is now entering. But not all... merrittherald.com/dyer-will-civi…

Trump and Bolsonaro are populists cut from the same cloth. But Trump’s views shift when it is to his political advantage – he once supported most of those policies – whereas Bolsonaro has always belonged to the hard right. reddeeradvocate.com/opinion/opinio…

We have wasted the past thirty years, since the climate change threat first became known, and there is now very little time left. In order to skid to a halt before we hit +1.5C, we will have to cut our emissions by almost half in the next 12 years. thetelegram.com/opinion/column…

Climate impacts on food supply. In 2008, Gwynne Dyer warned us that starving populations will, at very least, walk somewhere else. Better to welcome willing migrants before they are refugees.

May’s position is pure fantasy: no customs border with the EU either on land or in the Irish Sea. Which is why the probability of a chaotic ‘no deal’ Brexit is growing daily, and the prospect of renewed war in the North is creeping closer. thetelegram.com/opinion/column…

The Republican Party is now almost entirely in the hands of ‘white nationalists’, and totally controlled by Donald Trump. It’s no longer ‘conservative’. It’s radical right, with an anti-immigrant, racist agenda and an authoritarian style. the-star.co.ke/news/2018/11/1…

The Russians are legally in the wrong, but they are going to win because Ukraine had almost no navy left and nobody wants a bigger war. There may be further sanctions against Russia, but that’s as far as it goes. lfpress.com/opinion/column…

.Gwynne Dyer is not particularly alarmed by the state of the world. But, one factor does keep him up at night: "the big crowbar that's going to change things." Listen in to find out what it is. cbc.ca/1.4928514

Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman problem is his family, who know perfectly well that he ordered the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, and understand what that crime means for the kingdom’s standing in the world. lfpress.com/opinion/column…

The Paris deal is important, but it has come far too late to stop the average global temperature from rising to the never-exceed target of +2 degrees Celsius that was adopted many years ago, let alone the lower target of +1.5 C. winnipegfreepress.com/gdpr/
