Law and the Governance of (Potential) Ecosystem Collapse with Dr Reuben Makomere
Law and the Governance of (Potential) Ecosystem Collapse with Dr Reuben Makomere
(28 May 2024, Public Seminar, University of Cambridge)
We are now in the Anthropocene, an era defined by the significant impact of human activities on our planet. This includes global climate change, the loss of biodiversity, increasing ocean acidification, among other crises. Taken together, these challenges not only threaten our livelihoods but our very existence, representing a profound risk to the entire societies.
In response, governments worldwide have implemented various policies, laws, and regulations. However, a growing gap exists between these governance measures on one hand, and the escalating and increasingly complex risks and crises on the other. Additionally, governance often faces gridlock, making it challenging to effectively mitigate and manage these risks. It is crucial, therefore, to re-evaluate our current approach and efforts in governing these crises, which present both catastrophic and existential risks to socio-ecological systems.
Against this backdrop, this seminar will explore the role of law in managing complex, catastrophic and existential risk. It will particularly focus on the approach to, types, and effectiveness of legal mechanisms used by governments to respond to the threat of potential collapse of marine ecosystems while also balancing the developmental needs of societies that depend on the threatened ecosystems.
Presenter: Dr Reuben Makomere, University Associate, University of Tasmania, Australia; Visiting Scholar, Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, University of Cambridge, UK
Dr Makomere will share insights drawn from his original research on the governance of marine ecosystems in the United States, Australia, and the Western Indian Ocean. His presentation will cover not only the ecological impacts of climate-ocean change but also the broader socio-economic repercussions of associated ecosystems at risk of collapsing. His research combines academic study with practical policy engagement, involving policymakers, diplomats, local communities, and other stakeholders across regions.
Moderator: Dr Kennedy Mbeva, Research Associate, Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, University of Cambridge, UK
The event is organised by the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) and convened by the Department of Land Economy, University of Cambridge, UK.
The Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) is an interdisciplinary research centre within the University of Cambridge dedicated to the study and mitigation of risks that could lead to human extinction or civilisational collapse. For more information, please visit our website:

    The only way mankind has had an affect on the planet has been down to numbers! we have gone from less than a billion to over 8 billion in a matter of two centuries. and the associated food supply that is needed to sustain them! Yes we have had the industrial revolution but at the start of it the planet was heading for all life extinction. Had we not started to burn fossil fuel in the form of Coal which released all the trapped CO2 back into the atmosphere the planet would have died!

    This is all produced from computer modeling which has no bearing on the actual reality on the planet! Polar bears are at their most prolific, Coral reefs are recovering at an alarming rate, The Maldives are not being flooded but are actually rising and expanding with massive development going ahead! The melting of Sea ice makes no difference to the sea level or the salinity of it! Any increase in the amount of rain across the planet has much more to do with the amount the Sun evaporates the oceans (which has nothing to do with mans actions). Then we come to CO2 levels, Point 1) Plants all die when the level of CO2 drops below 150 ppm. 2) In 1850 it was measured at only 180 ppm. 3) The current level is at 420 ppm, which has allowed crops to flourish, but farmers know to increase that level to over 1000 ppm to give even better crops, with less chemicals etc. 4) The millennia average for CO2 is over 2500 ppm or 6 times the current.level. 5) When we have a gathering of humans in a closed space for even a short time the level of CO2 can reach over 7000 ppm without any ill effects! 6) There is no direct correlation between CO2 and the global temperature and CO2 is definitely NOT a driver of TEMPERATURE!

    For those of us living in the US, and who were sentient and paying attention in the past decade, the movie "Don't look up" is not a flawed analogy, it's a carbon copy of reality. They even drew things to the logical conclusion they reached with Covid. We did completely fail to prevent the Covid comet from hitting the earth. It is now an endemic disease, with millions becoming disabled following complications from the disease every year. We go about our normal business calling it "the new normal". We may not be there to continue business as usual in the "new normal" climate.

    I believe partial extinction is quite possible this century largely because of the combined effects of soil erosion acceleration, soil degradation, extreme spring and summer temps, inc rates of photorespiration in vulnerable crops, inc rates of pest herbivory, and of course aquifer depletion. Aside from the ag problems fishery collapses are also just a few decades away as is sea level rise impacts to coastal communities. I retired in Phil and have interviewed local fisherman. CC and overfishing plus coral reef destruction is clearly having an effect on livelihoods here. Finally, if northern hemisphere serial crop failures do take place and wheat exports are reduced signif the fallout will be massive here in the tropics as ASEAN countries have adopted western eating habits. Phil imports roughly 6 million tons of wheat yearly and a massive amt of chicken and pig feed. Businesses and people throughout Asia are going to be hit hard when crop reductions occur and globilization fails. The sys is already beginning to unravel.

    Kind of sobering that the talk show watched 2 years later shows consequences based on a time line that has already been greatly exceeded. Recent work on calcified sponges show that we likely passed 1.5 C back in 2012 and are currently at 1.7 C in 2024. This revised baseline explains why the IPPC expectations for sea ice, terrestrial ice loss, and sea level rise are all "ahead of schedule". One aspect of the talk stands out is that carbon from permafrost and clathrates reservoirs are actually much larger and actually from these sources are rising much faster than science thought just two years ago, apparently largely due to the rapid heating of the oceans. The slowing of oceanic cold water formation at the poles is now known to be much more rapid than science anticipated just two years ago.

    Yeah, don't think that the world nations, en-mass, will reach net zero. I see this as possible for only a select few wealthy nations that have the capital to equip themselves with full EV roll-out, full renewable energy grid, full electrical/electric transportation build-out and manufacturing conversion. In the main, most countries will not have the time or reserves [financial or resource] to be able to achieve this. IMO sea level rise will have a significant effect on the human condition by the mid- 2nd half of this century. SLR so far has been doubling every 7 years (approx.) since c.2000 (ie. turn of the century). If this exponential increase is maintained for another 50 years, the sea-level rise will be between 5 - 7 metres. This rise would flood every coastal city and town on Earth, as well as every town and city on tidal rivers, inlets, bays and ports. This 5 - 7 metres is easily viable considering that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is teetering on the wrong side of its tipping point, where it will collapse quickly once it starts as its grounding-line dives down to 2km depth if the glaciers on its periphery calve back a mere 20km from its present extent.

    Actually there are dozens and dozens of studies published each year, done by qualified scientists who have spent years in the field collecting and analyizing data. These studies are not easy reading and they cover all disciplines. Then you have to see how these studies impact each other. PBS specials, TED talks and other such programs cover what they can. Climate change is already an extinction event in some areas. It's going to get far worse. Future generations will be living in constant adaptation and struggle. There will be some who will get through the worst only to face an environment never before seen by man on Earth before. Denial is not just a river in Egypt and despair is not the tire in the trunk. Those who live between those states have the best chance. Just remember this, Nature bats last. Vaya con Dios Ya'll

    When a society is predicted to collapse seems less important in my mind than how to choose a less collapse-prone model for society, unless your main concern is how much longer we can squeeze out a quarterly profit before nuclear Armageddon or some such thing. Luke Kemp himself worked out that the average civilization lasts 340 years, where civilization is defined as "a society with agriculture, multiple cities, military dominance in its geographical region and a continuous political structure". This type of linear, growth-based society does not actually represent most lived human experience. Most humans over time have lived in cyclical, non-growth-based societies of hunter gatherers. The reason this has largely represented the lived human experience is that a cyclical philosophical model of society is more stable than a linear model of society. So what we are saying is all societies that are not hunter gatherer societies collapse on average over the course of only a few short generations. Hunter gatherer societies can collapse too, but tend to be much more stable and more likely to adapt than collapse. The question is not if but when. All societies also have cautionary tales about the move from cyclical to linear with characters who represent a break from the cycles of nature and a ramping up of the feeling of exceptionalism: Icarus from the Greeks, the Echidna from the Apalech of what Anglophones call Australia, the Morgoth/Sauron of Lord of the Rings, the Lucifer of John Milton, etc. These characters broke from being ruled by nature and tried to establish a new self-centered paradigm in which they attempted to supplant the greater powers that be. They all crashed and burned. So again, the question is not if but when, and we have cultural memories to warn us well in advance of the risks.

    I don’t know what to say. There are so many suppositions that are just not true. Draughts are no worse than any time in the past. Ocean acidification is not happening. Species decline has nothing to do with climate change. CO2 is not the control knob for global temperature. You would not be around if not for capitalism. I’m sorry but this video is way out there as far as logic and reason. IPCCs 1.5 degrees was pulled out of thin air and has no basis. The GCMs have enormous errors that far exceed plus or minus 10 degrees out past 10 years in the future. Heat island effects account for more than half of the measured temperature increase over the last 100 years. Please stop scaring our children with these baseless claims and pushing a false climate catastrophe.

  • @daveandrews9634
    @daveandrews9634 7 місяців тому

    This amazes me. There are so many “scientific” inaccuracies, I can’t even comment on them. One over-riding issue is that the model errors out to 2100 are at least an order of magnitude larger than the scales on the projections indicating that the data estimates are fantasy. Another is the Arctic sea ice extent which has effectively not changed since 2007 in spite of the CO2 rise. Temperature extremes are likely because we are in a solar max and the earths magnetic field has been weakening significantly over the last forty years. This has a huge effect on the earths energy balance easily explaining the current warming trend. Greenland has no inland temperature monitoring stations and coastal Greenland monitors are highly influenced by ocean temperature moderation. There were no monitors in Greenland interior in the early 20th century when rain very likely fell quite often since I’ve levels were lower than now at that time. Also the global average temperature is not being calculated correctly. Weighted averages are not being used causing a warming bias in the data. Satellite data is not accurate because of the measurement zones and misinterpretation of the data. This presentation is just scaring people with no concrete scientific justification.

They have thousands of research studies proving this is true, the models have been quite accurate for decades, and global ice melt, sea level rise, and ecosystem degradation are all happening faster than the majority of experts in those fields predicted 30 years ago.

    Odd that neither of these gentlemen referred to the solution proposed by Sir David King. Initially it sounded rather unlikely, but as he described it in detail, it become more and more plausible. Is has to do with returning the population of blue whales to the level they previously enjoyed before the advent of massive whaling. Massive amounts of CO2 can removed by this method. Video by David King is available on YT.
