“the median surface
warming in 2091 to 2100
is 5.1°C compared
to 2.4°C in the 2003 study”
MIT

“the cull during this century is
going to be huge, up to 90%.
The number of people
remaining at the end of
the century will probably
be a billion or less.”
source: Lovelock

“If we burn all the coal, we might kick
in a runaway greenhouse effect,
if we burn all the tar shale and
tar sands we definitely will ...
leading to the Venus Syndrome.
Caps aren’t going to work
– we need a Carbon tax”
source: Hansen, Nasa

“capitalism is not up to the challenge
... it improperly and systemically
undervalues the future ... it has
become a kind of multi-generational
Ponzi scheme
... we need a Carbon tax”

Peak oil
Peak finance
Peak water
Peak uranium
Peak copper

Peak <resource>
=>
Peak consumption

Are we moving to a
post-scarcity society?
How might we deliver
triple-bottom-line?

EFFICIENCY + TECHNOLOGY
Rapid innovation in energy efficiency
technologies has created a consumerist,
low-carbon world.
Society balances delicately with
ever-increasing reliance on new technology
to mitigate continuing climate change.
http://www.forumforthefuture.org/projects/climate-futures

SERVICE TRANSFORMATION
High carbon prices mean businesses sell services
rather than products.
Car ownership is prohibitive but public transport is
highly efficient.
A 'share with your neighbour' ethos exists and global
carbon emissions decline for the first year in history

REDEFINE PROGRESS
People rethink what a fulfilling life means.
Meaningful jobs are valued and stronger
links with local communities are cultivated.
People are attracted to simplicity and
focus much more on quality of life than
economic prosperity.

ENVIRONMENTAL WAR ECONOMY
Governments leave it too late and are forced
to rationalise whole sectors and take control
of citizens' lives.
Environmental refugees must find countries
willing to accommodate them. GHGs begin
to decline, but at great cost to civil liberty.

PROTECTIONIST WORLD
The world is divided into protectionist blocs.
Countries wage war over scarce resources
such as water.
Communities are divided and terrorists
take advantage of the flux, targeting
collapsed states.

“95% of people are interested in receiving detailed
information on their energy use”
\"If Edison would wake up today and look
at the grid he'd say 'that's where I left it\"
“Data on your personal energy use belongs
to you ... in a standard, non-proprietary format”
