Earth Assemblies for Climate Justice

After 30 years of climate negotiations it is clear that the United Nations will not produce the result we need to deal with the climate collapse. COP27, far from increasing contributions to reduce greenhouse gases and honoring the historical climate debt from industrialized economies to countries and people that have contributed very little to climate change, is instead marked by intense lobbying from governments and … Continue reading Earth Assemblies for Climate Justice

En estos mensajes hay mucho de verdad, pero hay que ir más allá: el … Continue reading El fracaso de la COP26: ausencia de la razón cordial y sensible

The Anthropocene Myth

[Andreas Malm*] Blaming all of humanity for climate change lets capitalism off the hook. Last year was the hottest year ever recorded. And yet, the latest figures show that in 2013 the source that provided the most new energy to the world economy wasn’t solar, wind power, or even natural gas or oil, but coal. The growth in global emissions — from 1 percent a year … Continue reading The Anthropocene Myth
