This post is a collection of links that support my increasingly strong feeling that the human race (or at least our technological civilization) is doomed. It is part of an ongoing series of posts.

Climate Change

• Hurricanes are strengthening faster in the Atlantic, and climate change is a big reason why, scientists say
• Met Office: global warming could exceed 1.5C within five years
• World's food supply under 'severe threat' from loss of biodiversity
• A World Without Clouds. "A state-of-the-art supercomputer simulation indicates that a feedback loop between global warming and cloud loss can push Earth’s climate past a disastrous tipping point in as little as a century."

Politics

• How Neoliberalism Is Normalising Hostility. 
• How Trump's Swamp Works Now. That swamp is looking pretty deep.

Technology

• The urgent threat of hormone-disrupting chemicals to our health and future
