  • Climate News: Capitalism is at the root of the climate crisis and we urgently need and alternate story
    2024/10/01
    Capitalism is consuming the planet and as it endlessly consumes to satiate its ever-growing appetite, it's taking all life, including you and I, to a rather gloomy conclusion. Writing on "Meditations" - Journal of the Marxist Literary Group - Jodi Dean says: "Many associate Fredric Jameson’s remark, “It’s easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism” with Mark Fisher. For good reason: Fisher’s account of capitalist realism confronts us with capitalism’s unbearable yet unavoidable horrors. From the genocidal destruction of settler colonialism, through the demolition of cultures and modes of life that accompanies commodity production and exchange, to planet-altering anthropogenic climate change, capital subsumes the world. We can easily imagine an end to the world because under capitalism most of us confront it every day as we are forced to choose our exploitation, dispossession, and confinement. It’s easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism because capitalism is the end of the world. We witness and endure it in the ruins of everyday life—lost lives, lives of loss." "Let’s all be more positive towards nature. But how?"; "‘Cheaper with nuclear’: What will Dutton’s nuclear plan really cost"; "Should I Get a Hybrid or Go Full Electric?"; "Jane Fonda rallies disaffected young US voters: ‘Do not sit this election out’"; "‘We’re not going fast enough’: Sherri Goodman on climate change as security threat"; "Confronting Our New Reality"; "Coalition’s nuclear power plan is ‘economic insanity’, Jim Chalmers says on eve of major Dutton speech"; "Norway: electric cars outnumber petrol for first time in ‘historic milestone’"; "The World Is a Mess. That Makes the Climate Crisis Harder to Solve."; "The Florida towns devastated by three hurricanes in 13 months"; "At Climate Forward Event, an Architect of Project 2025 Dismisses Global Warming"; "Under a Texas sun, agrivoltaics offer farmers a new way to make money"; "‘Completely and entirely erased’: How Helene swallowed one mountain town"; "The Populist Revolt Against Climate Policy"; "Scotland’s Only Oil Refinery to Shut Down Next Year"; "Is Brazil’s Lula a climate leader?"; "How will a Harris-Walz administration tackle the climate crisis?"; "‘Breakthrough discovery’: Indigenous Rangers in outback WA find up to 50 night parrots – one of Australia’s most elusive birds"; "Ethics of Climate Change"; "Reading desert sands – Indigenous wildlife tracking skills underpin vast monitoring project"; "Crown Law warned of ‘significant legal risks’ from foreshore and seabed changes"; "At Climate Week NYC, Advocates for Plant-Based Diets Make Their Case for the Climate"; "Hurricane Helene’s ‘historic flooding’ made worse by global heating, Fema says"; "Our leaders are collaborators with fossil fuel colonialists. This is the source of our communal dread"; "Burning rubbish to create energy could end landfills. But some worry where Australia’s new path is leading"; "In decades, their home never flooded. Then in a flash, they were homeless.".
