Prikvačeni tweet
Is neoliberal capitalism really making the world better and better? Here's my response to the narrative promoted by Gates, Pinker, Kristof, Bono and the Davos set.https://twitter.com/CitationsPod/status/1068182906948988928 …

Those who insist we need to keep growing the global economy even if it means warming the planet by 3C are saying they are willing to risk everything - literally everything - in order to make the rich richer.pic.twitter.com/mX2afWlkV5

IMF structural adjustment programs typically force countries to cut public sector employment. Since 1980, millions of devoted workers have had their livelihoods stripped from them and siphoned into the coffers of the world's biggest banks. The injustice of this is breathtaking.

While
#climatetwitter was busy arguing whether "business as usual" fossil fuel burning will yield 3, 4, or 5C warming, we learned that 1C warming appears more than adequate to insure enough West Antarctic melt for 10+ feet of additional sea level rise:https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2020/01/30/unprecedented-data-confirm-that-antarcticas-most-dangerous-glacier-is-melting-below/ …Hvala.

These are striking results. According to the latest release of the Edelman Trust Barometer, a majority of people (56%) around the world agree with the statement "capitalism does more harm than good." Here's how it breaks down by country:pic.twitter.com/K4H8hsm3tA

This new paper is a bombshell. It finds that neoliberal structural adjustment policies imposed by the IMF on global South countries have worsened health system access and *increased neonatal mortality*. Structural adjustment is a crime against humanity.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0277953619304897 …

Get this. The richest 1% capture a staggering $19 trillion in income each year. With less than a third of that, if added to global health spending, we could provide high-quality universal public healthcare, at EU standards, *for everyone in the world*. Scarcity is a myth.

Every year that goes by is another year that "green growth" didn't happen, and adds to the argument against those who so irresponsibly promote this fairytale.

My understanding of the deep drivers of the ecological crisis, and what is required to reverse it, has been enhanced immeasurably by reading indigenous philosophers. In this vein, I highly recommend the extraordinary Robin Wall Kimmerer, and her book "Braiding Sweetgrass."

In the UK, the ubiquitous term "second generation immigrant" represents a tacit, or perhaps in some cases subconscious refusal to accept that people of colour can be British. Tellingly, this phrase is never used to describe white people.

All the right-wing economists who are now running around trying to normalise 3C... it is easier for them to embrace climate catastrophe than it is to imagine a fairer and more ecological economy. The sheer intellectual poverty of this is staggering.

A climate general strike is the sensible next step in building pressure on our governments and politicians to act with the urgency that the ecological crisis requires.https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/apr/22/greta-thunberg-backs-general-strike-climate-change-environment …

"All of this leads us to a fundamental question. Economists such as Nordhaus insist that perpetual GDP growth is necessary for human welfare. Three decades of delaying climate action have been justified on this principle. But is it even true?"https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/12/06/the-nobel-prize-for-climate-catastrophe/ …

McAfee's book "More From Less" hinges on the claim that the US has decoupled GDP growth from resource use. It's not true. There has been no dematerialization of the US economy. In fact, US resource use has been growing *faster than* GDP.

We say that capitalism "creates" value, when quite often it's really a process of plunder. Enclosure, colonization, the slave trade, privatization, labour exploitation, resource extractivism... for 500 years, plunder has been central to capitalist growth.

Here is a free PDF download: https://www.jasonhickel.org/s/Hickel-Global-Inequality-and-Human-Rights.pdf … "Given the realities of ecological overshoot, if we want to satisfy the socio-economic rights of the poor we can no longer rely on aggregate economic growth. Instead, we need a fairer distribution of existing global income."

I'm happy to share this new paper that's just been published in the journal Humanity. In it I argue that, in an era of ecological breakdown, the UN Declaration of Human Rights can be leveraged to challenge global inequality. https://muse.jhu.edu/article/746833

A shitty climate politics starter pack: - 3 degrees is fine - Anything about population control - "China and India are the REAL problem" - We're all to blame, human nature etc. - Natural gas = bridge fuel - Renewables will outcompete fossil fuels because markets are
magic

The global North is overwhelmingly responsible for climate change, while the effects disproportionately damage the South. What's at stake here is a form of atmospheric colonization. And indeed Europeans used the very same justification for colonialism: "it's for your own good."

Here's an alternative. The richest 1% capture $19 trillion in income *every year*. A fairer distribution of existing global income could end global poverty many times over, ensuring a good life for all, without the need for any additional aggregate global growth.
