Cascading Climate Collapse has arrived.
Category Is... End of the Natural World
Earth has 9 planetary boundaries, & we’ve breached 6. Climate change, biodiversity loss, deforestation, and pollution are all interconnected, fueling a crisis that won’t stop even if emissions ended today. This chain reaction is unfolding - but understanding it gives us a chance to act before more thresholds collapse.
My Story
Many experience a 'wake-up call' about the climate crisis; I had two. In 2019, I witnessed Thailand’s Ko Phi Phi marred by floating trash and plastic. In 2021, a family trip to New Delhi, Amritsar, and Jaipur exposed me to overwhelming poverty and pollution.
The filth, pollution and destruction of the natural world I have seen in our ecosystems is unacceptable.
I am made even more angry everyday by the lack of action and attention this crisis is getting. Corruption, greed, colonisation of the natural world, lack of empathy have all lead us here.
Was I sheltered, oblivious, or complacent before? Perhaps. But it’s never too late to ignite positive change for people, the planet, and ourselves. Category Is is here to educate and inspire you.
Our Mission
Climate change is humanity’s greatest battle, exacerbated by inadequate infrastructure and leadership. As a conscious species, we have the power to reshape our world, yet we are on a path to sacrifice our right to nutritious food, clean water, and toxic air, compromising our safety, freedom, and quality of life.
Abandoning nature for a cyberpunk, industrialised Earth would be disastrous, with failing food chains, deforestation, biodiversity loss, water scarcity, energy deficiencies, overpopulation, and increasing illness, toxic air and poisonous water.
Developed countries are primarily responsible, but it’s the least developed that increasingly suffer from climate change.
We must act now to fix this!
Your Job
Whilst this small, independently run blog is not going to save the climate, I hope that the academic articles I have written educate, inspire and encourage you to engage in this modern call to arms against ourselves.
We could all work our entire lives and still not live to see half of what is required to make humanity and society truly sustainable, however do not ever let that discourage you. Humanity's greatest triumphs were never successfully implemented in a single life time. It's a movement.
Every decision counts. Every day counts. Every action & every word counts. So use it all well.
Educate yourself, accept that life is going to become more and more challenging the longer you delay your role. Rise to the occasion.
