Capitalism is driving the destruction of our planet. We have to think outside – and against – the framework of our current political system

“If our overheating planet is a result of human greed, then it must be a special kind of greed, a kind that emerged puzzlingly late in the long history of our species and then with a sudden vengeance.”

    When are shitty editorials going to stop trying to blame billions of innocent people something that only a fraction of a fraction of the population has any control over?

    As it stands, the only way for the overwhelming majority of people to make even a dent in the direction of climate change comes at a huge cost of personal comfort/ability and I’m not so quick to pass judgement on people for protecting what little creature comforts they’re allowed to have in [current year].
