And all the strings that bind together modern life begin to fray.
After the short video a much longer one with Arthur played.
Winds of a perfect storm gather. An energy depletion storm with monumental waves of disruption will soon break upon the world.
According to Arthur our use of fossil fuel has not decreased. There is no green transition. Green energy is only 5% of an increasing total. In a few years there is going to be some serious grim-reaping going on. The commission of excess emission continues to climb.
Jevon's paradox is understood by less than 5% of humanity. Global heating is a narrow view of the problem. The size of the human enterprise is simply too big, and the number of people capable of change too small.
We be doomed. The beginning of the end. Peak oil needs to be redefined. The peak occurs when insufficient supplies can no longer fund the American experiment. Then it all comes down.
It is not that Americans are special, but America is at the nexus of the house of cards.
