Another joo spreading climate panic. Real Georgia Guidestones shit.
"It’s happened before, now some claim it’s happening again.
In 1200BC, the world’s most advanced civilisations — Egypt, Assyria, Cannan — were burnt to the ground all at once.
It was the era of the Biblical Exodus and the poet Homer’s Trojan War.
A convergence of catastrophes made these nations weak. And it’s happening again.
“We’re f**ked,” says eminent biologist, Paul Ehrlich, whose 1968 book The Population Bomb triggered international debate.
Speaking to news.com.au, Professor Ehrlich was pulling no punches.
“We’ve talked for a long time about the coming collapse. Now we’re in it. Every sign says so.”
He has joined with Flinders University ecologist Professor Corey Bradshaw to present their global systems change modelling to Australia’s politicians. And the predictions are not pretty.
“We can limit the damage, but we can’t avoid it,” Professor Bradshaw says.
“That’s what gets me out of bed in the morning. If all that I’ve been doing gives my daughter maybe another 10 years without a major resource conflict, I’ve done my job — both as a parent and as a scientist.”
They’re adding their voices to a growing groundswell of alarm being sounded by researchers the world over.
It’s not all just based on computer projections. It’s founded in history. And it provides a terrifying road map of what is coming next.
CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER
It took the Freedom of Information Act to learn what Australia’s Defence Force chief Angus Campbell fears. He warns Australia is in “the most natural disaster-prone region in the world”.
“Climate change is predicted to make disasters more extreme and more common,” he says. “Deploying troops on numerous disaster relief missions, at the same time, may stretch our capability and capacity. Defence may also be increasingly called upon to support stabilisation, governance or peacekeeping activities.”
Former Defence Force chief Chris Barrie is also proclaiming his dread. Specifically, that of a rising tide of climate refugees.
“I once suggested to government we might be talking 100 million people,” Admiral Barrie warns for later this century.
“One hundred million people when we’re only 40 million people — you can get the enormity of this problem. Frankly, it would be beyond our resources.”
Such fears are not new. They echo pleas heard 3200 years ago. The Egyptians. The Hittites. The prosperous city-state of Ugarit.
Surviving diplomatic correspondence paints a grim picture.
A clay tablet from a Hittite governor (in modern-day Turkey) sent to his ally, the Syrian city-state of Ugarit, urges: “You have written to me: ‘Ships of the enemy have been seen at sea!’… Well, you must remain firm. Indeed, for your part, where are your troops, your chariots stationed? Are they not stationed near you? … Surround your cities with walls. Bring infantry and chariotry in. Be on the lookout for the enemy and make yourself very strong!”
It didn’t work."
"“If the Romans had nuclear weapons, we wouldn’t be here because the barbarians coming over the walls would have been more than enough excuse to use them,” Professor Ehrlich says.
And he says the social and political will to prevent the return of such “barbarians” — or Sea Peoples — doesn’t exist.
“We might be able to support — at a Mexican standard of living — about three and a half billion people. But since we’re way past seven, now, the idea of stabilising the population is just a non-starter.”
That’s the core of the problem. Too much consumption. And our capacity to sustain this population is contracting.
“It’s got to be shrunk, and it’s got to be shrunk humanely. The way to shrink it humanely to start is to give absolutely full opportunity, full legal rights and so on to women everywhere and make sure that everybody has modern contraception and safe backup abortion. That’s just ground zero. If you don’t believe in that, then you’re just saying, OK, leave it to our great-grandchildren to pay the full price.”"
