THE  EXTINTINCTION CURVE

EPISODE 2 in the  SERIES : SYSTEM CHANGE NOT CLIMATE CHANGE

Plus 

REWILDING BENEATH THE EARTH

Authors of The Extinction Curve: Growth and Globalisation in the Climate Endgame, John van der Velden and Rob White argue that the climate crisis is happening now and they are proposing a radical solution to alter the global warming trajectory: democratic nationalisation. How has green capitalism failed and what does this alternative provide? Is it really too late to stop global warming? Following the daring direct action of Blockade Australia we explore what System change is possible and how to achieve it. Here is one option. We welcome your suggestions on other approaches.
