  • Peak Water and the Great Unraveling Slide 1 David Korten from His Book
    Peak Water and the Great Unraveling Slide 1 David Korten from his book The Great Turning says: By what name will future generations know our time? Will they speak in anger and frustration of the time of the Great Unraveling, when profligate consumption exceeded Earth's capacity to sustain and led to an accelerating wave of collapsing environmental systems, violent competition for what remained of the planet's resources, and a dramatic dieback of the human population? Or will they look back in joyful celebration on the time of the Great Turning, when their forebears embraced the higher-order potential of their human nature, turned crisis into opportunity, and learned to live in creative partnership with one another and Earth? Slide 2 We are living in an age of unprecedented change, with a number of crises converging – climate change, global economic instability, overpopulation, erosion of traditional community values, declining biodiversity, and wars over natural resources. All of these calamities have been exacerbated by the profligate use of cheap, non-renewable fossil fuels. Now global oil, gas and coal production is predicted to irreversibly decline in the next 10 to 20 years, severe climate changes are already taking effect around the world, and the economy is in turmoil. The coming shocks are likely to be catastrophic if we do not prepare Richard Heinberg in The End Of Growth states: Our central survival task for the decades ahead, as individuals and as a species, must be to make a transition away from the use of fossil fuels and to do this as peacefully, equitably, and intelligently as possible”.
