James Lovelock the father of the 'Gaia' theory, has written along similar lines, that we should prepare for 'collapse' and attempt as far as possible to create small human internal colonies, or monastries where knowlegde about civilisation can be stored and protected for the future, such as it will be, based on a much, much, lower level of comfort and material consumption. A great problem is that overwhelmingly people with insights and knowledge, scientists and academics, are self-censoring, because they believe, probably rightly, that the public can't take too much truth and honesty. That they'll shy away from it as it's too disturbing. Unfortunately this is the kind of culture we've created. A culture that turns lies into truths, with terrible consequences to follow.
