    Das habe ich nirgends gesagt. Ich habe gesagt, dass wir (Wissenschaftler*innen) auf den „Marktplätzen“ waren. In Berlin/Brandenburg und in Leipzig. Das hat in den Medien niemanden interessiert.

    Die Klimakatastrophe ist auch ein Medienversagen. Sara Schurmann, die gestern moderiert hat, hat versucht, das zu ändern. Sie hat, wenn ich mich recht erinnere, den SWR beraten.

    Letztendlich sind Medien auch Unterhaltung. Wenn man jeden Tag existentielle Bedrohungen thematisieren würde, würde man Leser*innen verlieren. Das ist Teil des Problems. So verdrängen wir alle fröhlich weiter.

    Um ehrlich zu sein: Nicht nur die Medien haben Researchstrejk damals ignoriert, auch von den Vorbeieilenden hat es fast niemanden interessiert. Ich kam mir schon oft vor wie einer von den Zeugen Jehovas. Mit so einer Broschüre: Erwachet! 2019! Vor sechs Jahren. Zwischendrin haben die Grünen was geschafft, aber das ist auf keine Weise der Größe des Problems angemessen.

    Ab und zu hatte man interessante Gespräche, zum Beispiel war mal einer da, der beim #ClubOfRome dabei war.

    Der #Klimamontag war dann das besser Konzept: Nur einmal im Monat, abends ab 18:00, am Alex, mit Musik und interessanten Vorträgen.

    Ist alles hier:

  2. Non-Fiction Trilogy of sorts - "#TheLimitsToGrowth; #PowerLimitsAndProspectsForHumanSurvival; and #EarthForAllASurvivalGuideForHumanity.

    So, my copy of "The Limits To Growth" is a first edition from 1972, which I bought in a used book store in 1980. Whoever owned it before ("Denison") highlighted a bunch of stuff (the old school highlighters that don't fade), and put zig-zag lines around this paragraph: "In any finite system there must be constraints that can act to stop exponential growth. These constraints are negative feedback loops. The negative loops become stronger and stronger as growth approches the ultimate limit, or carrying capacity, of the system's environment. Finally, the negative loops balance or dominate the positive ones, and growth comes to an end. In the world system the negative feedback loops involve such processes as pollution of the environment, depletion of nonrenewable resources, and famine."

    Fast forward to 2021, where one of the Limits To Growth authors, #DennisMeadows, describes #RichardHeinberg's "Power - Limits And Prospects for Human Survival" as "a powerful new way of understanding the historic rise and probable fall of our species. It is an impressive, sweeping, and thought-provoking narrative." Heinberg talks about how we got to where we are today (lots of history), but also offers solutions (like #Agroecology and #Degrowth).

    Finally, "#EarthForAll - A Survival Guide For Humanity" -- which was a report to the #ClubOfRome, and a 50 year follow-up to Limits To Growth. This book is where I learned about the #GiantLeapScenario that we so need to survive as a species on a viable planet.

    Limits To Growth influenced my thinking at a young age. "Power" explains how we went wrong, and "Earth For All" gives me hope for the future.

  7. @wolfgangcramer 4 and 5 are mostly right, though not like fascists say. Media often uncritically spread politicians' lies and propagate #capitalism and #neoliberalism. Both are a conspiracy by the ruling elite - the uber rich men burning the world - and serve to preserve the status quo. Without the repeated lie of endless economic growth on a limited planet we would not suffer the #ClimateCatastrophe.

    The world economy will stop growing by 2040 according to #ClubOfRome models. Not just a crisis like dotcom, housing or the coming #AIBubble pop, but an end of growth for the foreseeable future.

    Meanwhile we still collectively chase the accelerated burning of the planet.

    And the media in general are absolutely complicit.

  8. #Earth4All #Argentina: Young people confront today’s challenges through debate

    At a time when social and environmental crises are deepening, this initiative shows that young people are not just aware of the challenges—they are ready to lead the transformation. The real challenge is to listen to them and make room for their voices in the creation of truly transformative public policies.

    5 June 2025

    "On 9 May, young people between the ages of 18 and 30 gathered simultaneously in #Córdoba, #BuenosAires, and #Tucumán to take part in the workshop 'Understanding the present to build the future we want,' part of the Earth4All Argentina National Engagement Strategy led by the #ClubOfRome – Argentinian Chapter.

    "Organised in collaboration with #FundaciónAlimentaris and #JóvenesPorElClima, the workshop was part of the participatory process of the National Participation Program (NEP), an initiative aimed at gathering diagnostics, experiences, and proposals from local communities to influence public policy. Its goal is to collectively adapt the international Earth4All model to local realities. The model warns of the urgent need to move away from the current path, described as '#TooLittleTooLate,' and to move toward a '#GiantLeap' centred on #social and #EnvironmentalJustice. This transformative agenda is structured around five turnarounds: #EradicatingPoverty, #ReducingInequality, #EmpoweringWomen, transforming #FoodSystems, and driving the energy transition.

    "The workshop brought together university students from the host cities, #grassroots and #EnvironmentalActivists, and civically engaged youth eager to influence #LocalPolicies and practices. Facilitated by Jóvenes por el Clima, the event was organized around two main dynamics: first, introducing the foundations and challenges of the Earth4All model; and second, mapping specific local issues and working in thematic groups aligned with the model’s five pillars, with the aim of #CoCreating concrete proposals grounded in the experiences and voices of #YoungPeople."

  13. Blog post from 2022: What a 50-year-old world model tells us about a way forward today

    by Gaya Herrington, 17 May 2022

    "My research went viral last summer. I found out via a friend’s text, jokingly accusing me of 'announcing the end of the world.' For several days, headlines on major US news pages declared that my research proved we are on the brink of collapse. A few days later, UK pages touted the same headlines. Then I saw my name popping up in languages I do not know, from Swedish, to Greek, to Chinese, to Sinhala.

    "It took me a bit by surprise. My research had been published months earlier, in November 2020. Also, it was a data comparison of a model from a book that was almost half a century old. Apart from the headlines being a simplistic version of my research’ message, they also gave the impression that the possibility of societal collapse suddenly had been revealed. But this warning was a key message of The #LimitsToGrowth (#LtG) book, which the authors Meadows, Meadows, Randers & Behrens, published back in 1972. In LtG, commissioned by the #ClubOfRome, the authors identified society’s relentless pursuit of growth not as the solution to, but the cause of, so many of the #environmental and social crises that plague humanity still today. Their analysis was based on a global model called World3. The authors created different scenarios by varying World3’s underlying assumptions. This scenario analysis helped them study global dynamics between variables including industrial output, resources, pollution, and living standards. In my research, I compared four LtG scenarios against a few decades of empirical data. Details about the scenarios methods and results, can be found in my article in Yale’s Journal of Industrial Ecology. An easier read with the gist of my findings was also published on the Club of Rome website. Here, I’ll just share my conclusions, illustrated by a graph of the variable people might be most concerned with: living standards (Figure 1). This graph is from my upcoming book Five Insights for Avoiding Global Collapse, soon available online under Creative Commons, which contains further research analysis and 2022 data update of my comparison."

    The author goes on to explain the graph. I'm focusing on Herrington's scenarios, especially the "SW" scenario in my next post...

But this warning was a key message of The #LimitsToGrowth (#LtG) book, which the authors Meadows, Meadows, Randers & Behrens, published back in 1972. In LtG, commissioned by the #ClubOfRome, the authors identified society’s relentless pursuit of growth not as the solution to, but the cause of, so many of the #environmental and social crises that plague humanity still today. Their analysis was based on a global model called World3. The authors created different scenarios by varying World3’s underlying assumptions. This scenario analysis helped them study global dynamics between variables including industrial output, resources, pollution, and living standards. In my research, I compared four LtG scenarios against a few decades of empirical data. Details about the scenarios methods and results, can be found in my article in Yale’s Journal of Industrial Ecology. An easier read with the gist of my findings was also published on the Club of Rome website. Here, I’ll just share my conclusions, illustrated by a graph of the variable people might be most concerned with: living standards (Figure 1). This graph is from my upcoming book Five Insights for Avoiding Global Collapse, soon available online under Creative Commons, which contains further research analysis and 2022 data update of my comparison."

    The author goes on to explain the graph. I'm focusing on Herrington's scenarios, especially the "SW" scenario in my next post...

    Scientists are warning since decades.
    Deciders are ignoring them regularly since the "beginning". 😡 #ClubOfRome
    Now world leaders are even dialing back the few progresses made.

    Now what?
    Isn't it time to change to something different than "just" warnings?
    If even scientists can't come up with ways to change the suicidal behaviour of deciders... 😱

  23. Erinnert ihr Euch an den Sommer des 9-Euro-Tickets? Das Aufatmen, das Pläne machen und Menschen und Orte besuchen? Die Stimmung eines freudigen Aufbruchs?

    Das ist mMn das einzige Rezept gegen #fckafd, Demokratiefeinde und miesepetrige, ausgrenzende Bundestagspräsidentinnen und Kanzler.

    Auch deshalb brauchen wir dringend:

  24. Die Grenzen des Wachstums

    „Wenn die gegenwärtige Zunahme der #Weltbevölkerung, der #Industrialisierung, der #Umweltverschmutzung, der #Nahrungsmittelproduktion und der #Ausbeutung von natürlichen #Rohstoffe'n unverändert anhält, werden die absoluten #Wachstumsgrenzen auf der Erde im Laufe der nächsten hundert Jahre erreicht.“

    – Schlussfolgerung aus: Die Grenzen des Wachstums

    de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Gren

    #ClubOfRome

    ... Hätte man wissen können ...

    „Unsere gegenwärtige Situation ist so verwickelt und so sehr Ergebnis vielfältiger menschlicher Bestrebungen, daß keine Kombination rein technischer, wirtschaftlicher oder gesetzlicher Maßnahmen eine wesentliche Besserung bewirken kann. Ganz neue Vorgehensweisen sind erforderlich, um die Menschheit auf Ziele auszurichten, die anstelle weiteren Wachstums auf Gleichgewichtszustände führen. Sie erfordern ein außergewöhnliches Maß von Verständnis, Vorstellungskraft und politischem und moralischem Mut. Wir glauben aber, daß diese Anstrengungen geleistet werden können, und hoffen, daß diese Veröffentlichung dazu beiträgt, die hierfür notwendigen Kräfte zu mobilisieren.“

    Am in the lucky, privileged position living in middle europe, as a male.
    And call myself lucky to be a senior already. Bc the world is going "down the drain" (G.Carlin). Inaction or worse of governments, Helplessness and powerlessness of the people and science. No, not the messengers scares.🖖
    ...but humans as a specie.
    Hope i'll die before it "reaches" my oh so comfortable, privileged place. For decades already #ClubOfRome all this is getting worse and worse and...

    Aber nur nebenbei bemerkt:
    Ist es nicht eine Definition von Wahnsinn immer und immer wieder das gleiche zu tun und jedes Mal tatsächlich ein anderes Ergebnis zu erwarten?
    #clubofrome

    Ja. Ich weiss doch auch nicht was noch möglich/nötig wäre um ENDLICH der #Klima Notlage entsprechende Handlungen der EntscheiderInnen wenigstens in Gang zu setzen. 😒🤬

    "Ohne den drastischen Abbau dieser Ungleichheiten sind die multiplen Krisen der #Ökologie unlösbar, das ist eigentlich die Kernaussage, die der #ClubOfRome 50 Jahre nach den #GrenzenDesWachstums mit der neuenStudie #Earth4All vorgelegt hat. Und da fordert der Club unvermittelt und sehr direkt zur Finanzierung eines #GiantLeap: #TaxTheRich."

    Die »Earth for All«-Initiative plädiert für ein integrales Konzept der Nachhaltigkeit. In Teilen etwas optimistisch, aber durchaus inspirierend.

    »Earth for All Deutschland«: Fünf Kehrtwenden für Deutschland

  30. 3/5 last night i listened to this #OutrageAndOptimism podcast interview with #JohanRockstrom and #SandrineDixonDecleve, two of the authors of the new #ClubOfRome book “Earth for all: a survival guide for Humanity” (which sounds great btw). I know this is not mainstream as such but was nevertheless struck by just how much, on so many fronts, thinking is shifting away from modernity’s “silo” division of nature/culture and all that comes with that.

  31. Tja, "wo soll der Strom denn sonst herkommen"?

    - LNG aus aller Welt aufkaufen?
    - AKW Laufzeit verlängern?
    - Kohlekraftwerke neu bauen?

    Ich glaube, wenn man den #IPPC-Bericht liest, die Pubikationen des #ClubOfRome ernstnimmt oder auch nur auf populärwissenschaftliche Erklärungen von Harald #Lesch oder #MaiThi, dann kann man nicht mehr daran zweifeln, dass Deutschland das 1,5° Ziel grandios verfehlen wird.

    Well, #TIL there is an interactive viewer.

    Where, say, if a bunch of crazed #technofascists took power and ramped up strip mining the planet -- you could toggle the parameters to view the global impact.

    Pretty cool.

  33. @dystopod @rahmstorf Oder anders formuliert: Gibt es eine (sonstige) interdisziplinäre, globale Wissenschaftsorganisation, Stichwort #clubofrome, die das zusammenfassend mal so ausdrücken würde bzw. ausdrückt?
    Wissenschaft unterschiedlicher Disziplinen warnt schon seit Jahrzehnten. Und tbh das IPCC sehe ich da nicht, sagen wir, deutlich genug in den Medien in ihren Stellungnahmen.

    Looking at you scientist community, warning since the mid 70s. #clubofrome

    Edit: If i'd be a scientist i'd probably gone insane by now, not only frustrated and depressed. 🤯

  37. Club of Rome: Klimaschutz nur mit mehr sozialer Gleichheit

    Die Klimakrise kann nur mit mehr sozialer Gerechtigkeit bewältigt werden - das sagen der Club of Rome und das Wuppertal Institut. Deutschland lebe weit über seine Verhältnisse. Dabei sei ein gutes Leben für alle möglich.

    Angesichts der Tonnen von und tausenden von wissenschaftlichen Daten, Analysen und Berichten (teils vom letzten Jahrtausend) #clubofrome #IPCC müssten demzufolge auch seitens "der Medien" nicht nur die Fragestellungen völlig anders/e sein sondern auch die Adressaten andere, PolitikerInnen nämlich. 😒

  39. The story goes of a soviet conference, #ClubOfRome stuffed their allotted time with impending doom from Limits To Growth, and the podium given to Richard Buckminster Fuller.

    Bucky spoke of ingenuity, progress, ephemeralization, and how History never expected Genius. He spoke his 40 minutes, continued on well past 20 more, his nervous staff asked if they should stop him.

    "Let him speak," the hosts said, "He's WONDERFUL!"
