In this talk, Patrick Farnsworth goes over some of the major trends currently manifesting on this planet, in particular the systematic unraveling of the biosphere, the severe decline of global wildlife and insect populations, widespread pollution, and the catastrophic changes currently underway in our global climate system. In these times of accelerating non-linear change, how are we meant to grapple with the very dire and bleak reality we are making for ourselves and all other life on this planet?
