from the paper (Riddle et al.) cited in the FT:
doing whatever it takes to make more profit condemns all available resources – human and natural – to exploitation and exhaustion
power demands it
power thrives on hierarchy, on inequality
our last best hope is to understand power and so diffuse it*
from the paper (Riddle et al.) cited in the FT:
We need to stop regarding the climate emergency as a stand-alone environmental problem. Global heating, although ruinous, is not the sole symptom of our present struggling Earth system but is only one of the many facets of the accelerating environmental crisis. Policies to alleviate the climate crisis or any of the other threatened planetary boundary transgressions should not be focused on symptom relief but on addressing their root cause: the overexploitation of the Earth (Rockström et al. 2009).*
