A collage on climate chaos, NTE and industrial civilization. A 50s TV scientist, a philosopher, an ecologist, a poet and herbalist writer, an international security expert, an ex physicist turned food advocate, an NTE blogger and Prof of biology and ecology, a Philippine climate negotiator, a permaculturalist and an ex cop and disciple of collapse all offer their views on the world today plus rhetoric from 6 US presidents and a host of pundit deniers included. So if you knew, what would you do?
