    Mass poverty is not some kind of primordial lack; it is the result of an economic system that appropriates resources from the South, pays wages below the cost of subsistence, drains profits, and seeks to militate against attempts at sovereign economic development.

    When it comes to stopping climate breakdown, there’s only one fail-safe policy: a binding cap on fossil fuel extraction, with declining annual targets that will wind down the industry to zero. Anything short of this is just hand-waving.

    On this day in 1953, the US and Britain orchestrated a brutal coup against Mohammed Mossadegh, the progressive, democratically elected leader of Iran, because he sought to restore national control over the country's oil reserves.

    The thing about degrowth is it poses a direct challenge to the core principle of imperialism: that rich states and corporations are entitled to appropriate as much of the planet as they want, regardless of how much suffering it causes. This really doesn't sit well with elites.

    What do the Remaining Carbon Budget mean for pathways to 1.5°C? Irrespective of the probability, extreme mitigation is required. There exists no marginal pathway to 1.5°C...

    Here's some good news: "In recent years, regenerative farming techniques have seen a significant growth in interest... When Groundswell started six years ago, there were just a couple of hundred attenders. This year, more than 3,500 people turned up."

    The "economy" is ultimately our material relationship with each other and with the rest of the living world. As today's IPCC report settles in, we have to decide whether we want that relationship to be based on extraction and exploitation, or on reciprocity and care.

    NO! In what moral universe is it acceptable to acknowledge we’re on brink of climate catastrophe & simultaneously back new oil and gas fields? Ministers cannot be allowed to get away with this grotesque immoral deceit

    No one, and no place, is safe from climate and ecological breakdown. This is still only the beginning. End the fossil fuel industry by whatever means necessary.

    I understand that simple graphs showing GDP-emissions decoupling might seem comforting and compelling. But they do not speak to the real complexities of the problem we face, and they do not address the questions raised in the scientific literature. We need a more nuanced debate.

    The literature in ecological economics is clear that we can achieve high levels of well-being with modest resource and energy use, consistent with a stable biosphere, if we organize the economy around human needs rather than around elite interests and capital accumulation.
