The great question facing humanity centers on how to measure its state, progress, and the remaining possible extent of human activities. Are we wisely using the planet's resources and how long can these resources last and thereby human activities be sustained?

The current La Nina cool phase of the El Nino/La Nina cycle – which dominates year-to-year global temperature fluctuation – had maximum annual cooling effect in 2022 (Fig. 1). Nevertheless, 2022 was ~0.04°C warmer than 2021, likely because of the unprecedented planetary energy imbalance (more energy coming in than going out). The already long La Nina is unlikely to continue, tropical neutral conditions are expected by Northern Hemisphere spring, with continued warming as the year progresses. Thus, 2023 should be notably warmer than 2022 and global temperature in 2024 is likely to reach +1.4-1.5°C, as our first Faustian payment of approximately +0.15°C is due.</span></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; min-width: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td style="margin: 0px; padding: 9px;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 9px; text-align: center;" valign="top"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><img align="center" alt="" class="CToWUd a6T" data-bit="iit" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEiXi3qFhi4a9Jye67la7npB7GdIfkUHDi7XjFIn0Dgxjhz6nMrICXm7wBaCk1IeeSuHdUamXO1WLpOuthxLpue5Z6Sj56vQbFfoF9nTgd5s5vZ6AFTiMK7YyR-ZQgsyghtclQDpC4OWvai1WXQS74cmcgIcGlj7wLG6WEFJDX0Z32OJKL5vThXw288nUIDTuo3dV-rTVzj1BL9_IBGIfIRUccsW=s0-d-e1-ft" style="border: 0px; cursor: pointer; display: inline; height: auto; max-width: 798px; outline: none; padding-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" tabindex="0" width="327.12" /></span></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; min-width: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td style="margin: 0px; padding-top: 9px;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td style="color: #202020; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 18px 9px; word-break: break-word;" valign="top"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><strong>Table 1.

The real story is that we are already running short of oil, coal and natural gas because the direct and indirect costs of extraction are reaching a point where the selling price of food and other basic necessities needs to be unacceptably high to make the overall economic system work. At the same time, wind and solar and other “clean energy” sources are nowhere nearly able to substitute for the quantity of fossil fuels being lost.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This unfortunate energy story is essentially a physics problem. Energy per capita and, in fact, resources per capita, must stay high enough for an economy’s growing population. When this does not happen, history shows that civilizations tend to collapse.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/ourfiniteworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/World-Fossil-Fuel-Energy-Consumption-per-Capita.png?ssl=1" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-48420 jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled" data-attachment-id="48420" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-caption="<p>Figure 1.

The US is also implementing Quantitative Tightening, which also tends to raise interest rates. Thus, central banks are intentionally raising the cost of borrowing. It doesn’t take much insight to see that the combination of price inflation and higher borrowing costs is likely to force consumers to cut back on spending, leading to recession.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">[2] Politicians will avoid talking about possible future economic problems related to inadequate energy supply.</strong></p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Politicians want to get re-elected. They want citizens to think that everything is OK. If there are energy supply problems, they need to be framed as being temporary, perhaps related to the war in Ukraine.

They want citizens to place orders for their goods and services, without the fear of being laid off. They would like the news media to publish stories saying that any economic dip is likely to be very mild and temporary.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Universities don’t mind problems, but they want the problems to be framed as solvable ones that will offer their students opportunities for jobs that will pay well.

All dissipative structures have finite lifespans, including the world economy.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This finding is not well known because academic researchers seem to operate in ivory towers. Researchers in economic departments aren’t expected to understand physics and how it applies to the economy. In fairness to academia, the discovery that the economy is a dissipative structure did not occur <a href="http://www.shiozawa.net/english/EconomyAsADissipativeStructure1996.pdf" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">until 1996</a>.

Even now, I am one of a very small number of people in the world writing about this issue.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Also, economic researchers are not expected to study the history of the many smaller, more-localized civilizations that have collapsed in the past. Typically, the population of these smaller civilizations increased at the same time as the resources used by the population started to degrade. The use of technology, such as dams to redirect water flows, may have helped for a while, but eventually this was not enough. The combination of declining availability of high quality resources and increasing population tended to leave these civilizations with little margin for dealing with the bad times that can be expected to occur by chance. In many cases, such civilizations collapsed after disease epidemics, a military invasion, or a climate fluctuation that led to a series of crop failures.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">[4] Many people have been confused by common misunderstandings regarding how an economy really works.</strong></p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">[a] Standard economics models foster the belief that the economy can continue to grow without a corresponding increase in energy supply.</span></p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">When economic models are designed with labor and capital being the important inputs, energy supply doesn’t seem to be needed, at all.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">[b] People seem to understand that legislation capping apartment rents will stop the building of new apartments, but they do not make the same connection with steps taken to hold down fossil fuel prices.</span></p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">If efforts are made to bring down the prices of fossil fuels (such as raising interest rates and adding oil from the US petroleum reserves to increase total oil supply), we need to expect that extraction will be adversely affected. One article reports that <a href="https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/Saudi-Aramco-Is-Taking-A-Page-Out-Of-The-US-Shale-Playbook.html" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Saudi Arabia does not seem</a> to be using recent record profits to quickly raise reinvestment to the level that seemed to be required a few years ago. This suggests that Saudi Arabia needs prices that are quite a bit higher than $100 per barrel in order to take significant steps toward extracting the country’s remaining resources. This would seem to contradict published reserves that, in theory, take current prices into consideration.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/venezuela-oil-europe/rpt-exclusive-pdvsa-pauses-oil-for-debt-shipments-to-europe-wants-product-swaps-idUSL1N2ZO1OP" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Reuters reports</a> that Venezuela has reneged on its promise to send more oil to Europe, under an oil for debt deal. It wants oil product swaps instead, since it is lacking in its ability to make finished products from its oil itself. It would take a long run of prices much higher than today’s level for Venezuela to be able to sufficiently invest in infrastructure to do such refining. Venezuela reports the highest oil reserves in the world (303.8 thousand million barrels), even higher than Saudi Arabia’s reported 297.5 thousand million barrels, but neither country can be counted on to take major steps to raise supply.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Similarly, there have been reports that US shale drillers are <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/frackers-hold-back-production-as-oil-nears-100-a-barrel-11645150760" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">not investing</a> to keep production growing, despite what seem to be <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/84e228a9-9e97-4445-9527-2b7ed80283a7" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">sufficiently high prices</a>. There are simply too many issues. The cost of new investment is very high, outside of the already drilled sweet spots. Also, there is no guarantee the price will stay high. There are also supply line issues, such as whether appropriate steel drilling pipes and fracking sand will be available, when needed.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">[c] Published information suggests that there is a huge amount of fossil fuels remaining to be extracted, given today’s level of technology. If we assume that technology will get better and better, it is easy to believe that any fossil fuel limit is hundreds of years in the future.</span></p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The way the economy works, the extraction limit is really an affordability issue. If the cost of extraction rises too high, relative to what people around the world have for spendable income, production will stop because <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">demand</em> (in terms of what <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">people can afford</em>) will drop too low. People will tend to cut back on discretionary spending, such as vacation travel and meals in restaurants, cutting back on demand for fossil fuels.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">[d] How “demand” works is poorly understood. Very often, researchers and the general public assume that demand for energy products will automatically remain high.</span></p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">A surprisingly large share of demand is tied to the need for food, water, and basic services such as schools, roads, and bus service. Poor people require these basics just as much as rich people do. There are literally billions of poor people in the world. If the wages of poor people fall too low relative to the wages of rich people, the system cannot work. Poor people find that they must spend nearly all their income on food, water and housing. As a result, they have little left to pay taxes to support basic governmental services. Without adequate demand from poor people, the prices of commodities tend to fall too low to encourage reinvestment.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The majority of fossil fuel use is by commercial and industrial users. For example, natural gas is often used in making nitrogen fertilizer. If the price of natural gas is high, the price of fertilizer will rise higher than farmers are willing to pay for the fertilizer. Farmers will cut back on fertilizer use, reducing yields for their crops. The farmers’ own costs will be lower, but there will be less of the desired crops grown, perhaps indirectly raising overall food prices. This is not a connection that economic modelers build into their models.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The lockdowns of 2020 show that governments can indeed ramp up demand (and thus prices) for energy products by sending out checks to citizens. We are now seeing that the approach seems to produce inflation rather than more energy production. Also, countries without energy resources of their own may see their currencies fall with respect to the US dollar.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">[e] It is not true that energy types can easily be substituted for one another.</span></p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In energy modeling, such as in calculating “Energy Return on Energy Invested,” a popular assumption is that all energy is substitutable for other energy. This isn’t true, unless a person accounts for all of the details of the transition, and the energy needed to make such a transition possible.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">For example, intermittent electricity, such as that generated by wind turbines or solar panels, is not substitutable for load-following electricity. Such intermittent electricity is not always available when people need it. Some of this intermittency is very long-term. For example, wind-generated electricity may be low for more than a month at a time. In the case of solar energy, the problem tends to be storing up enough electricity during summer months for use in winter. A naive person might assume that adding a few hours of battery backup would fix intermittency problems, but such a fix turns out to be very inadequate.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">If people are not to freeze in the dark in winter, longer-term solutions are needed. One standard approach is to use a fossil fuel system to fill in the gaps when wind and solar are not available. The catch, then, is that the fossil fuel system really needs to be a year-around system, with trained staffing, pipelines and adequate fuel storage. A modeler needs to consider the need to build a whole double system instead of a single system.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Because of intermittency issues, electricity from wind and solar only substitute for fuels (coal, natural gas, uranium) that operate our current system. Publications often talk about the cost of intermittent electricity being at “grid parity” when its temporary cost seems to match the cost of grid electricity, but this is matching “apples and oranges.” The cost comparison needs to be in comparison to the <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">average cost of fuel</em> for plants producing electricity, rather than to electricity prices.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Another popular assumption is that electricity can be substituted for liquid fuels. For example, in theory, every piece of farm equipment could be redesigned and rebuilt to be based on electricity, rather than diesel, which is typically used today. The catch is that there would need to be an enormous number of batteries built and eventually disposed of for this transition to work. There would need also need to be factories to build all this new equipment. We would need an international trade system operating extraordinarily well, to find all the raw materials. Likely, there would still not be enough raw materials to make the system work.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">[f] There is a great deal of confusion about expected oil and other energy prices, as an economy reaches energy limits.</span></p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This issue is closely related to [4][d], with respect to the confusion about how energy demand works. A common assumption among analysts is that “of course” oil prices will rise, as limits are approached. This assumption is based on the standard supply and demand curve used by economists.</p><div class="wp-block-image" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><figure class="aligncenter size-full" style="clear: both; display: table; margin: 0px auto 24px;"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/ourfiniteworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/supply-and-demand-wikipedia.png?ssl=1" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-40374 jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled" data-attachment-id="40374" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-caption="<p>Figure 1.

Jobs that pay well are only available if inexpensive energy products can leverage human labor. For example, surgeons today perform robotic surgery, requiring, at a minimum, a stable source of electricity for each operation. Furthermore, the equipment used in the surgery is created using fossil fuels. Surgeons also use anesthetic products that require fossil fuels. Without today’s fancy equipment, surgeons would not be able to charge nearly as much they do for their services.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Thus, it is not immediately obvious whether demand or supply would tend to fall faster, if energy supply should hit limits. We know that <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+18&version=NIV" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Revelation 18:11-13</a> in the Bible provides a list of a number of commodities, including humans sold as slaves, for which prices dropped very low at the time of the collapse of ancient Babylon. This suggests that at least sometimes during prior collapses, the problem was too low demand (and too low prices), rather than too low supply of energy products.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">[5] The International Energy Agency and politicians around the world have recommended a transition to the use of wind and solar to try to prevent climate change for quite a few years. This approach seemed to have the approval of both those concerned about too much burning of fossil fuels causing climate change and those concerned about too little fossil fuel energy causing economic collapse.</strong></p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">A rough estimate of what the decline in energy supply might look like under the rapid shift to renewables proposed by politicians is shown in Figure 6.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/ourfiniteworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/world-energy-consumption-to-2050-with-caption-1.png?ssl=1" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-45754 jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled" data-attachment-id="45754" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="world-energy-consumption-to-2050-with-caption-1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/ourfiniteworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/world-energy-consumption-to-2050-with-caption-1.png?fit=640%2C370&ssl=1" data-lazy-loaded="1" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/ourfiniteworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/world-energy-consumption-to-2050-with-caption-1.png?fit=300%2C174&ssl=1" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/ourfiniteworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/world-energy-consumption-to-2050-with-caption-1.png?fit=1276%2C738&ssl=1" data-orig-size="1276,738" data-permalink="https://ourfiniteworld.com/world-energy-consumption-to-2050-with-caption-1/" data-recalc-dims="1" height="370" loading="eager" src="https://i0.wp.com/ourfiniteworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/world-energy-consumption-to-2050-with-caption-1.png?resize=640%2C370&ssl=1" style="background: transparent; border: none; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;" width="640" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption" style="color: #777777; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: -7px 0px 20px; padding: 9px 9px 1em; text-align: center;">Figure 6.

Energy consumption for 2020 is estimated to be 5% below that for 2019. Energy for years after 2020 is assumed to fall by 6.6% per year, so that the amount reaches a level similar to renewables only by 2050. Amounts shown include more use of local energy products (wood and animal dung) than BP includes.</figcaption></figure><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">If a person understands the connection between energy consumption and the economy, such a rapid drop in energy supply looks like something that would likely be associated with economic collapse. The goal of politicians seems to be to keep citizens from understanding how awful the situation really is by reframing the story of the decline in energy supply as something politicians and economists have chosen to do, to try to prevent climate change for the sake of future generations.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The rich and powerful can see this change as a good thing if they themselves can profit from it. When there is not enough energy, the physics of the situation tends to lead to increasing wage and wealth disparities. Wealthy individuals see this outcome as a good thing: They can perhaps personally profit. For example, Bill Gates has <a href="https://tucson.com/news/national/bill-gates-faces-scrutiny-after-massive-purchase-of-land-in-north-dakota/video_995aab96-4ccf-5307-be3c-05a40110dfdd.html" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">amassed about 270,000 acres of farmland</a> in the United States, including newly purchased farmland in North Dakota.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Furthermore, politicians see that they can have more control over populations if they can direct citizens in a way that will use less energy. For example, bank accounts can be linked to some type of social credit score. Politicians will explain that this is for people’s own good–to prevent the spread of disease or to prevent undesirables from using too much of the available resources.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">One way of dramatically reducing energy consumption is by mandating shutdowns in an area, purportedly to prevent the spread of Covid-19, as China has been doing recently. Such shutdowns can be explained as being needed to stop the spread of disease. These shutdowns can also help hide other problems, such as not having enough fuels to prevent rolling blackouts of electricity.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">[6] We are living in a truly unusual time, with a major energy problem being hidden from view.</strong></p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Politicians cannot tell the world how bad the energy situation really is. The problem with near-term energy limits has been known since at least 1956 (<a href="https://www.spec2000.net/freepubs/Peak%20Oil%20Hubbert%201956.pdf" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">M. King Hubbert</a>) and 1957 (<a href="https://ourfiniteworld.com/2007/07/02/speech-from-1957-predicting-peak-oil/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Hyman Rickover</a>). The problem was confirmed in the modeling performed for the 1972 book, <a href="https://www.donellameadows.org/wp-content/userfiles/Limits-to-Growth-digital-scan-version.pdf" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Limits to Growth</a> by Donella Meadows and others.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Most high-level politicians are aware of the energy supply issue, but they cannot possibly talk about it. Instead, they choose to talk about what would happen if the economy were allowed to speed ahead without limits, and how bad the consequences of that might be.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Militaries around the world are no doubt well aware of the fact that there will not be enough energy supplies to go around. This means that the world will be in a contest for who gets how much. In a war-like setting, we should not be surprised if communications are carefully controlled. The views we can expect to hear loudly and repeatedly are the ones governments and influential individuals want ordinary citizens to hear.</p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180332974262044129.post-75663845271845729072022-04-02T17:18:00.003-05:002022-11-13T11:54:26.616-05:00We Need #Climate #Action NOW! <h1 class="title" style="background-color: white; color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-stretch: normal; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 10px; position: relative; text-align: center; text-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) -1px -1px 1px;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Dr. Peter G Kinesa's Digest</span></h1><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://drkinesa.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Read More</a></span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> <b>COUNTERCURRENTS</b></p><p><br /></p><h1 class="title" style="color: #a1a9af; font-size: 40px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px 0px 15px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://countercurrents.org/2022/03/the-urgent-need-for-climate-action/" rel="bookmark" style="color: black; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Permalink to The Urgent Need For Climate Action"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;">The Urgent Need For Climate Action</span></a></h1><span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span face="roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #a1a9af; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #a1a9af;">by </span><a href="https://countercurrents.org/author/john-scales-avery/" rel="author" style="color: #446b9b; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Posts by John Scales Avery">John Scales Avery</a><span style="color: #a1a9af;"> </span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #a1a9af;"><br /></span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #a1a9af;"><br /></span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="485" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CzH6vyN2_uw" width="583" youtube-src-id="CzH6vyN2_uw"></iframe></div><br /></b></span><p style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #4c5155; margin: 0px 0px 14px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Climate disaster seems a distant threat</span></span></p><p style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #4c5155; margin: 0px 0px 14px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">One reason why the Glasgow Climate conference failed so miserably to produce urgently needed climate action was that humans tend to react to what is close to them. Money to pay the rent is urgent, while a climate catastrophe seems to be a distant threat.</span></p><p style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #4c5155; margin: 0px 0px 14px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Cultural inertia</span></span></p><p style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #4c5155; margin: 0px 0px 14px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">A second reason is cultural inertia. All of us find it very difficult to make rapid changes in our lifestyles. Our educational and political systems also change very slowly. Automobile factories take a long time to build, and they continue to produce petroleum-driven vehicles. Many people earn their livings from the fossil fuel industry.</span></p><p style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #4c5155; margin: 0px 0px 14px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Avoiding climate disaster is a global problem</span></span></p><p style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #4c5155; margin: 0px 0px 14px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Finally, avoiding a climate catastrophe is an international problem. Historically, industrialized countries have been responsible for most of the greenhouse gas emissions, and people in less developed countries, such as India, feel that they therefore have a right to use their abundant coal to raise the standard of living and to combat poverty.</span></p><p style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #4c5155; margin: 0px 0px 14px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Warnings from the Antarctic and Arctic regions</span></span></p><p style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #4c5155; margin: 0px 0px 14px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Although the worst effects of catastrophic climate change lie in the distant future, there are recent warnings that tell us that a climate disaster may be nearer than we thought. The Arctic and Antarctic regions are warming more than twice as fast as the remainder of the world. In the Antarctic region, the vast Thwaites glacier, sometimes called “the Doomsday Glacier”, has recently exhibited so many cracks that scientists fear that it may shatter into small pieces like a windscreen. If this happens, the event may trigger the collapse of other nearby glaciers through a mechanism called “Marine Ice Cliff Instability”. This could mean several meters of sea level rise, threatening all coastal cities throughout the world.</span></p><p style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #4c5155; margin: 0px 0px 14px; overflow-wrap: break-word;

Then just divide A total resource units available by B times C (= total of expected annual consumption of resource units of all people) to calculate D - and the answer then tells us what the probable expected duration or the number of years that the species can roughly expect the resources to last and provide for its survival. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"> <b>Expected Time Remaining Formula</b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b> D = A\ ( B x C)</b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">To illustrate; suppose there are 100 million combined energy and material resource units available for consumption from an environment and 10,000 people exist there and they consume 100 resource units annually. Therefore, every year 1 million resource units are consumed. The equation calculates that there is roughly 100 years left if this people/consumption pattern is continued under the constraints and numeric inventories of this environment.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>INDUSTRIAL EXPERIMENT FINAL CURTAIN </b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cdXdaIsfio8" width="320" youtube-src-id="cdXdaIsfio8"></iframe></div><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Admittedly, this result is a ballpark figure, but it is still close enough to draw our attention to the critical metrics we need to manage and their resultant and variable timelines. Moreover, based on our general knowledge of energy and material resource inventories - we can reasonably assert that we don't have thousands or even hundreds of years left to manage these factors and get the equation right. <b><i>Time is quickly running out...</i></b></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">To add even a little more acceleration to the mathematically expected outcomes - also apply exponential growth laws to the B and C factors or inversely to the A factor and you dramatically and quickly reduce the total resources available for consumption and thus the amount of survival time remaining. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">To sum up - you can never defeat the combined numerical laws of mathematics and physics - I guess Moses left the tablets with these commandments behind somewhere on the old hill. Yet, from the beginning we were taught by secular doctrines that we are playing a positive sum economic game with a guiding mantra of infinite growth that is authoritative and unquestionable - when the true reality is we were actually engaged in a negative finite sum game rapidly using up the planet's scarce resources - that is consequently <i><b>now heading towards a terrible conclusion.</b></i></span></p><p style="background-color: white;

Wealth, status and the illusory security of dependency chains cannot replace control.</i><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"></span><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><b style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">What's our personal strategy for navigating tumultuous times?</b><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> I've long advocated controlling as much as you can. We don't control the availability of fuel and food from far away, or the government's policies. But that doesn't mean we're powerless to affect our destiny.</span><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">From the point of view of systems, the way to understand control is to examine each chain of dependency in our lives: how many links are there between you and the source of what you need?</span><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><b style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">The greater the number of links, the greater the vulnerability of the chain</b><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">, as once one link is broken, the entire chain fails.</span><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">The ideal is complete control of the source of essentials: there is no dependency chain at all. This self-sufficiency is incomplete due to our dependence on globalized industrial manufacturing, but reducing our needs to a bare minimum greatly reduces our dependency and increases our control.</span><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">In other words, the other measure of control is reducing how much we need. If we only need a small amount of money and essentials, then it's inherently easier to obtain a little rather than have to acquire a lot just to survive.</span><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><b style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Consider freshwater as an analogy.</b><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> The water flowing out of your tap comes from far away and requires an immense dependency chain of wells, reservoirs, pipes, pumps, filters, etc. all of which depends on 24/7 electrical power.</span><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">If we collect rainwater off our roof and filter / store it, the dependency chain is reduced to the weather providing rain.</span><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">If we reduce water consumption, that also reduces our dependence.</span><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">If water is cheap and easy to access, we waste it. If we have to carry all our water in buckets several hundred meters, we're much more careful about how the water is consumed. If we have to carry it a few kilometers, we're extremely careful.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;
