Views from Elsewhere

  • Climate scientists: concept of net zero is a dangerous trap

    "The time has come to voice our fears and be honest. Current net zero policies will not keep warming to within 1.5°C because they were never intended to."

  • Mapping the Planetary: Five Questions for Dipesh Chakrabarty

    "The planet that is the 'Earth system' is only a construction, an abstract entity: you can’t visualize it."

  • Flumilightenment – The Great Mental and Emotional Convergence

    "Sometimes, our imaginations are able to envision, though the crisis of imagination right now is profound."

  • Observing nature in your backyard is not dull but radically significant

    "To see humanity as but one member of a community of animal and plant ‘nations’ is intrinsic to many indigenous world views, including those of Europe."
