Yes i'm a fan of Dmitry Orlov. Yes i believe that we are experiencing catastrophic climate change. There's no debate to be had. Most of the sceptics argue about whether it is man-made or natural; what a pointless discussion, it's happening NOW. Easily observable dramatic changes in our climate. The ramifications are beyond terrifying. We all need to be considering keeping a diary of changing patterns we see each day, week, month, if for no other reason then to learn when conditions are right for sowing, growing and cultivating food. There is nothing else to really think about other then food security. That's my rant part over with, i'll share with you, Dmitry's take on this...
"Anthropoclastic climate change" is reminiscent of "anthropogenic climate change," which is a theory that climate change is being triggered by human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), agriculture (through deforestation, bovine flatus and so on), cement manufacturing, leaking or flaring gas into the atmosphere, chemical manufacturing... the list is very long. Anthropogenic climate change is the theory that these human activities are highly disruptive of the climate. Anthropoclastic climate change is the theory that a highly disrupted climate, which is what we already have, is highly disruptive of human activities, and, in consequence, highly destructive of human life. The anthropogenic theory is a case of man pointing the accusatory finger at man, while the anthropoclastic theory is a case of man pointing the accusatory finger at nature. I will leave it up to you to decide which of the two gestures is the the most futile, but, futile gestures aside, I believe that there are steps to be taken to let us survive climate change, and that these steps should be given due consideration before too long."
