«Citizens’ Warning on Overshoot and Collapse» is translated into Spanish

“En esta penúltima hora para la Humanidad y el planeta, denunciamos que lo que se le está vendiendo al mundo acerca del cambio climático es una pura basura. Ya vamos con demasiado retraso. Lo que está en juego es demasiado. El tiempo de negar las verdades inconvenientes se ha terminado.”

X Aniversary of Petrocenitales group

X Aniversary of Petrocenitales group

Last November the think-tank Petrocenitales, of Peak-Oil, Degrowth and Civilization collapse popularizers, reached its 10th anniversary. A decade of information sharing, discussions and strategic talking among a number of scientists, journalists, writers, activists and people engaged in partisan politics, which has nearly reached the hundred by now.

To celebrate this anniversary, Instituto Resiliencia, responsible of the group, asked its members for the meaning of being part of this space for reflection which has already distributed more than 20,000 email messages. Besides, a parallel private Telegram group was created last year to complement the mailing list. Answers to this request were published at the end of the group’s page at Instituto Resiliencia’s site. Here we select some of them:

Para mí la lista Petrocenitales supone una excelente oportunidad para compartir diariamente un debate riguroso con expertos sobre las crisis climática, energética y de recursos naturales.
—Vicent Cucarella

Un lugar enriquecedor donde compartir y debatir acerca de algunas de las cuestiones más urgentes y a la vez más ignoradas de nuestro tiempo. Y en definitiva, un espacio virtual para tocar con los pies en el suelo, ante la dificultad manifiesta de hacerlo ‘en el mundo exterior’.
—Xavier Camps

Petrocenitales es una fuente extraordinaria de información veraz y aunque dura en las perspectivas anima la construcción de nuevas comunalidades. Mil gracias por estar, ser y acompañar.
—Antonio Escolar
