Collapse Adaptation

This Blog specifically addresses preparing for the climate emergency and its impacts. It is aimed at individuals, homeowners and families. It examines our existential risk from the climate emergency and suggests that developing a deep nature connection is a way to help cope with climate anxiety. To survive collapse, if that is even possible, we need community, we need each other & we need to get over our belief that we need to be exclusive. White supremacy is perpetuated by the super-rich oligarchs and Far-Right grifters, the ones who moan about being raided and arrested for harassing people or sharing ideas which induce riots based on disinformation. The Far-right are betraying the working classes into supporting people who are living lives of luxury, dodging UK taxes and squandering their donations on drugs, designer clothes & luxury holidays. This blog does not tolerate Reform ideas, racism, abuse, conspiracy theories, climate denial or anyone wanting to dispute man-made cli...

Science suggests otherwise. "Consistent analysis of temperature over the full Cenozoic era—including ‘slow’ feedbacks by ice sheets and trace gases—supports this sensitivity and implies that CO 2  was 300–350 ppm in the Pliocene and about 450 ppm at transition to a nearly ice-free planet, exposing unrealistic lethargy of ice sheet models. Equilibrium global warming for today’s GHG amount is 10°C, which is reduced to 8°C by today’s human-made aerosols" Source Proff. James E Hansen, NASA Jet Propulsion Lab.

The English landscape is ancient and I think this ancient landscape is deeply misunderstood by many people who talk about connection to the land. The megaliths in the English landscape are a distraction. They are mostly out-of-date communal calendars, not unlike the more portable astrolabe or tombs. They are interesting, but the living ancient landscape is where we can best learn the connection to nature and the land in a meaningful and deeply fulfilling way. Natural historic features in the English Landscape tell a story of missing people. The hedges and woodlands which once supported the livelihoods of whole communities of woodcutters, coppicers, bodegers, hudlers, charcoal makers and many more trades related to coppicing. The story of where most of these skilled men went is sad and it has resulted in the decline of ancient woodlands on a massive scale. Coppice on large estates is largely neglected, regarded as not economically viable for management. The self-styled "stewards of...

This is Jungle Svonni, he is an indigenous Sami Shaman from Satmi. Satmi is a region in the extreme north of Europe and Russia, part of which is inside the Arctic Circle. Satmi spans Northern Russia, Finland, Sweden and Norway. The Sami people's language, singing traditions, culture, and dress have been at times banned, and like North American indigenous people, they were, in the 19th  & 20th centuries, forced to go to boarding schools as part of Nordic assimilation policies. Jungle Svonni spent several years alone in nature, living off the land. In his own words, he explains that this is how you find nature connection. Link: YouTube short, Jungle Svonni explains how he spent years in the wilderness, living off the land. This, he explains, is where we find nature connection. And I have to say I agree with him. The starting point for the Indigenous Shaman has always been nature. By the time precolonial indigenous people were 18-25, they would have mastered the neces...
