Very intersting take, Richard, thanks for posting.
I think it is a little extreme expressing things in terms of nuclear explosions, but maybe that is what is needed to wake some folk up.
I write about climate too, and economy, as a systems Engineer it is plain the two are linked.
It seems to me economy has a lot more to do with things than people realise, it actualky transcends politics, in my opinion it makes no difference which party we or anyone else in the world votes, all are equally guilty.
When we get in our cars and drive to the shops burning a few hundred mililitres of fuel which took millions of years to create by the energy of the sun, for a few cents, we are participating in the Grand Energy Ponzi.
Just as we are when we sip a coffee, made from beans picked by a child laborer in a tropical area.
Just as we did when we bombed Hiroshima, and waged war on every third world world non compliant country since.
All of it is part of the Grand Energy Ponzi, because all of it was done powered by the finite energy resources of Earth, put there for free by the energy of the sun.
Throughout our history we have been very busy de-creating what nature created.
So now we have to face the music.
However all is not lost, I believe, it actually can be mostly undone, much quicker than most folks realise.
The reason we don't see this solution much yet is we have to ditch all our ideas of, and practice of things for profit.
When we do that, we start to pedal backwards, and our efforts become additive to the other creative processes of sunlight, instead of destructive.
Most surprising of all is that the proces of changing from pedalling towards disaster, to pedalling backwards away from danger aopears to be already underway. by the most surprising technology Bitcoin.
By that we are creating free money which is being injected into the back door of the world economy., if we recognise it, we see this money changing from reoresenting capital, to representing a capacity of solar power generation.
So we are somewhat on the right path.
