There's No Tomorrow, 2012 Film

From the Post Carbon Institute, this is the single-best film I have ever seen describing the crisis now upon the Earth. My personal advice is that if there are members of your family still in denial, ask them to watch this thirty-minute video. Swear to them that it will be the last thing you ask them to look at... ever. And if -- after viewing it -- they are still in denial your choices become clear. If it is your spouse in denial, get a divorce immediately. If it is other family members, cut yourself off and create distance from them as fast as you can. Make a sacred vow to yourself that if the people you would like to awaken refuse to see, you will never waste a second of your own energy (which you will need to survive yourself) trying to persuade them further. You have done the best you could and to waste additional personal energy is suicidal behavior that will harm you. (Climb down off the Cross, we need the lumber!)

The world has until the end of March to prepare. And the "climate" we will all be living in after that will not tolerate anyone but those most focused on lifeboat building. Evolve or perish. Grow up or die. It's all amazingly simple to see and understand. You must cut loose anything that stands in the way of being prepared, of doing what you can to be as ready as possible for the Spring, Summer, and what will follow.

Hubbert figured out in the mid-1950's that the world and it's resources are finite, and that increasing it's consumption would lead to collapse. It wasn't that hard to see, but was difficult to accept, so much so that the world seems to have had it's head in the sand in an attempt to ignore reality. The problem with that approach is that it does nothing productive, but makes a collapse that much greater.

Everything is related to energy. Without affordable energy, nothing else matters in a world that continues to grow. Fiat money has no value, nor does an overabundance of it bring anyone true wealth. Paper is worth only what it stands for, which in the case of the US dollar and other similar currencies, they stand for debt, not wealth. That debt drives the average person further from a sustainable life. Everything else splinters off from there, but they all come back to financial, based on energy. If we can figure out the energy crisis, and how to create a different world through sustainable energy, we can then replace the system of monetized debt, through which the control mechanisms can be cast aside, and a sustainable future realized.

Will that change happen before we allow ourselves to starve? I'm a part of that movement to find the hundredth monkey.
