The beginning of COP 21, the UN Conference on Climate Change, is three weeks away. So what else is happening, you ask? 1) The Campaign Against Climate Change‘s Time to Act! campaign, 350.org, Reclaim Power, and various other formations are preparing actions around the world on the eve of the summit (November 28-29) and a huge demonstration in Paris […]

The many ecologies of Laudato Si
Posted in Climate change, Politics, Spirit matter, tagged ClimateJustice, Papal encyclical, Pope Francis, religion and ecology on June 18, 2015 | 9 Comments »
Now that Laudato Si, the Papal Encyclical “On Care for Our Common Home,” is available for all to read, the punditocracy can debate it to their hearts’ content. As the most far-reaching statement by the single largest (relatively united) religious denomination on the planet, it is likely to have an immense impact on global conversations around […]
Anthropocene & equity
Posted in Anthropocene, tagged Anthropocene, ClimateJustice, global equity on June 1, 2015 | 5 Comments »
I’ve reported previously on how critics see the “Anthropocene” concept as overgeneralizing from the causal nuances of actual responsibility for climate (and global system) change. In an excellent summary of recent writing on the topic, ecosocialist climate observer Ian Angus answers the question “Does Anthropocene science blame all humanity?” with a definitive “no.” That doesn’t mean that the term […]

Some 2500 years ago, a man named Siddhartha Gotama articulated what have come to be known as the “4 Noble Truths”: the truth of dukkha, or fundamental suffering (that there is a basic unsatisfactoriness to life), the truth of its causes (that it arises from an ignorance and misperception of the nature of things, which are […]

Climate movement

As I write, Bill McKibben is being interviewed left and right, Tom Ashbrook is interviewing Naomi Klein and pushing her to outline a vision that isn’t capitalism-as-we-know-it, Time magazine is saying this could be the largest march of its kind — which raises the question of what kind it is — and the People’s Climate March is […]
Busy being born…
Posted in Eco-culture, Politics, tagged ClimateJustice, ecopolitics on September 17, 2014 | 1 Comment »
When humans look back on our time from the next era, they might see this weekend’s People’s Climate March as a key event in the movement that led to the next era. The alternative is a little scarier: it’s that there will be no next era, or at least no humans looking back from it. […]
The challenge
Posted in Politics, tagged ClimateJustice, ecopolitics, environmental crisis, Under Western Skies on September 13, 2014 | 1 Comment »
The closing panel of this conference featured Winona LaDuke, Tim Ingold, Bron Taylor, environmental epidemiologist Colin Soskolne (who convened the preceding panel on public and environmental health regimes), and myself. We were each asked to provide five minutes of summary comments on the big issues of our concern (related to the conference). The following were […]
Winona LaDuke at UWS3
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged ClimateJustice, Decolonization, ecopolitics, indigenous, petropolitics, Under Western Skies, Winona Laduke on September 12, 2014 | Leave a Comment »
Winona LaDuke’s talk (at Under Western Skies 3) was, as always, powerful and empowering. Here are some quoteworthy lines from it. “I’ve lived my entire life in the fossil fuel era. I’d like a graceful exit out of it.” “I want to be able to walk out of my teepee into a Tesla.”
Earth Day 40
Posted in Climate change, Eco-culture, Politics, tagged ClimateJustice, Earth Day, ecopolitics, environmentalism on April 23, 2010 | 4 Comments »
I’ve been posting links to Earth Day news in the shadow blog (which you can follow in the column to your right on the Immanence main page). The most interesting news, to my mind, was the initiative for a Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth and the calls to establish an international climate […]
